Back in the mid 80's I bought an M-1 from the DCM and they sent me a nice one manufactured by International Harvester. I paid somewhere around $165 for it. I shot it in NRA Highpower rifle shoots for a few years and than switched jobs and did not shoot it for 10 years. When I went to get back into s...

Back in the mid 70's my dad went to get our John Deere B out of the shed and found the float had stuck open in the carb and filled the cylinder's with gas. So he pulled the spark plugs and then cranked the engine over with the starter to blow the gas out. Problem was he forgot to disable the magneto...

Here is my 2 cents on this subject. I have been around farm machinery for most my life and in the trucking side for 33 years. I have always noticed there was less electrical connection corrosion with positive ground systems than negative ground systems even when both types were operated side by side...

Jeff, In looking at your original post pictures it looks like the battery is not retained properly. I would make sure to have that taken care of before your next time out with it. If not the battery posts may contact the bottom of the gas tank when you go over a bump and cause an unwanted thermal ev...

I agree with Lavoy not to put the oil soaked fiber disc's back in. If you do within a year you will be pulling the final drive off to do it right. To pull the pilot bearing they (Snap-On, OTC, etc) make a slide hammer with adjustable jaws that will make it easy to remove. Lavoy should have all the p...

I am a 440IC owner and bought it to do odd jobs around our family farm. To keep the price down I bought a 440IC that needed some work (no cost for my labor on my projects, only cost me part $) plus I know it will be repaired correctly. It seems like someone in the excavating business will by somethi...

Ether will ignite from compression much sooner (maybe 20-30 deg BTDC) than diesel fuel. This causes higher cylinder pressure since the piston is still moving upward and is trying to compress the expansion of the ether after igniting. Older diesel engines (before early 80's) usually have big heavy pi...

Nice job on repair and additions. I wish I had power angle and tilt on my 440IC, its a pain getting off and on every time I want to change the angle. I am going to add a ROPS and scarifer to mine in the next few months. I will post pictures of my progress. Now you and I need some snow in Pennsylvani...

Also be careful on what you use because most silicone sealers have acid in them to aid in the curing process. I had a Permatex rep demo putting a gob of the blue stuff in the bottom of a clean small jar and then added a few new nuts and bolts and then put the lid on tight. Within a day the new nuts ...

Shawn, I would try to re-torque the head. Did you lubricate the head bolt threads with engine oil? If not that could affect the torque. Follow the torque pattern loosen the first bolt, remove, lubricate the threads lightly withe engine oil (letting excess drip off) and then reinstall and torque to p...

Mark, All nuts/bolts have a torque value range. Any special/critical torque values are listed in the OEM service manuals. You probably will not find torque values in OEM manuals for fender bracket bolts, hood bolts, etc. However they do have a torque value range depending on the grade and size of th...
