Re: belt length dilemma
Eugene, Regarding my comment on the mule drives: @propane1 Noel, You are correct about the angle of the idler mounts being at a different angle. That is a difference in the 2 mules. The photo that @Timj posted looks like the same version of build that may last 2 pictures show. As Bob said the mules ...

Re: belt length dilemma
5" in belt length is a huge difference. A K46 is exactly the right vintage deck for a 1980 tractor and all mule drives are dimensionally the same. There are some differences but nothing to prevent them from interchanging between long and short wheelbase tractors. Hopefully your pictures will he...

Re: Did the 446 just dodge a bullet?
If the cause was truly "lack of lubrication" the rear main usually seizes first as it is the last to get oil. Being as the engine was idling, it may have seized enough to stall the engine with little damage. I think you may have that lucky horseshoe in your you know what, Spike...

Re: Case E60 Dump Cart
Gerry, The wheels if original have bushings, not needle or roller bearings, seem to hold up well. I think that someone has installed wheelbarrow tires as you mention, and they will not carry the load the the car is capable of. I think that you should look at trailer tires for highway service such as...

Re: Muffler repair
If you decide to gas weld, my preference is brass for this repair. I find it really hard to gas weld mufflers with steel filler as there is no carbon left in the steel of the muffler due to the heating and cooling cycles. Really a question for someone with more welding experience than myself. Perhap...

Re: Another thing to look at on my 648
Great job on those cylinders Jeff! Oh, the rod that has damage. Normally that has to be smoothed completely otherwise it'll destroy your new seals. I used a sander for one of the rods where I had some small pieces of the chrome gone. The actual ding is not much of a problem, let's say you lose a ti...

Re: Another thing to look at on my 648
I just learned today that our area will no longer have an evening mail truck picking up from the Post Offices and taking mail to the regional sorting center. There will only be a morning run. Im going to have to figure out another way to get my water samples to the lab. :headbash: :cuss: Tim, You m...
