Hi, Some combustion chamber shapes and valve types are designed to scavenge the cylinder of exhaust gases with a specific about of backpressure. Note the operative word here: Some. As in the things have to be designed with malice aforethought to having that backpressure. Most 4-cycle recriprocating ...

Hi, I don't know how you've managed to keep the clutch discs in the reverser working while using it to power shift between forward and reverse. Every one I ever saw that was run like that would up with badly bent ears (the metal tabs on the clutch discs) that simply kept the reverser from working at...

Hi, Well, it would depend on the reverser style you have. I know that the early 440s' had the differential, or clutch (it's called by both names), type reverser, which has no neutral position and requires that you have the main clutch disengaged and be fully stopped before throwing the reverser leve...

Hi, I used to have a 350, which was kept in the barn when I lived in upstate NY. I'd be able to start it well enough down to 0 deg F or so. At that point, she'd try to start, but just puff the white smoke and only keep going with help from the starter. It'd drive me out of the barn, the smoke that i...

Hi, The original blade for the MC is pretty light, what I would call a 'barn scraper' blade. As the machine grew up, the blades became progressively heavier, and the tracks became longer and heavier to go along with them. The 40 gained a fourth roller, and then a fifth, while the blade becamer heavi...

Hi, Bad sender or a shorted wire. Most senders work by supplying voltage to the gauge, thru the gauge and into the sender. When cold, the resistance is high, and the current flow thru the gauge is low and so it will have little deflection - reading on the cold side. As the engine warms, the sender l...

Hi, Yeah, it's always been that way. We had a good, large farm, customer back in the 70's that was an IH guy but loved the Deere 4020 (and follow-ons) line. So, every year he'd order a new Deere painted IH red and white. We'd have a truck letter painter re-do that part in whatever the current IH sty...

Hi, Andrew, I like the way that the snowplows keep changing style, color and even go from tracks to wheels and back again! Must be magic. Have you been reading Harry Potter and taking things a little too literally???? :P Enjoy the snow. I'm hoping for some down here in Carolina so I can show the nei...

Hi, You are *so* right! Yellow Deere dealers seem to care not about one guy looking for one machine. I went to my local Yellow dealer looking to get a JD350 C or D out of Deere's 'Re-Life' program. The guy didn't know what I was talking about, although I was able to show him on the JD website. He sa...
