Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I'm sure you'll really appreciate the power steering when you have weight in the Johnny Bucket! Have you seen the threads about voltage boosting the Johnny Buckets? I know when I had one I felt like it was painfully slow to use.

Unfortunately it looks like this 646 did not come from the factory with the D70 backhoe. The non-backhoe (webbed) axle, no forward bracing/counterweight, and the fact that it has a fender PTO make it pretty unlikely that it started life as a backhoe model.

That being said this aftermarket addition ...

I was curious about the backhoe as well. My guess is that its not from factory, probably from a trencher.


That's a good thought, it does look like some of the sneakers / trenchers used a D70.


Could the frame get damaged from all the pressure when digging?


This is pretty open ended, but ...

I've definitely never heard of a D70 on a Case/Ingersoll, are you sure it's original? Can you get a photo from underneath of the rear axle? What's the Serial Number on the tractor?

I've never gotten to use this emote before

The less invasive process I've used in the past:

- Tighten lock nut against the cylinder rod
- Place one wrench on the lock nut (which now cannot move) and the other on the rod end
- Loosen rod end
- Remove lock nut (worst case double nut the threads to break the lock nut free)

You need to know if he's looking for a 3 digit or 4 digit snowcaster.

Is the 648 in the room with us?

My go-to trick for reasonably sized cast iron is to heat it up in the oven to ~450. Pull it out of the oven, weld, and put it right in the oven when I'm done welding. Then in 30min or so set the oven heat to 400. 30min later set it to 350, an hour later set it to 300, etc.

They're #12-24 on a TCV with holding valve.

I was thinking the diesel would have more torque than a gas.



It's always important to remember that horsepower and torque are mechanically related concepts.

Horsepower = Torque * RPM / 5252

This is true in all situations for all fuel types (including electric!). Because they're mechanically ...
