FWIW, Coleman does not ship to Canada, even though their site says they do. Also brand new wet brake disk is .188 thick...so my disk is as new.

Thanks RCW, Everyone has told me it is grey market. The US court decision does not affect us anyway, but now I know better. I can post about this machine anywhere. Figure I'll phone Coleman Ewquipment in the morning to get a measurement. My disks are .188 thick with the brake material

I have a grinding noise when either right or left brakes are applied, and so I drained the trans oil and pulled the final drive off. I removed the wet disk brake and examined. There is the odd small blue spot, so I think at some point this was driven with a brake stuck on by a previous owner. It...

You are right. There is no such thing as grey market in Canada. That's a US thing.

Yes, you got the right solution and as long as your flytes are below the frost they will not move with the ground but stay at the height you installed them. You must have clay, sure sounds like it, the way it moves.

OK, now I see what you are doing. They can be put in with what you have. I guess they can be installed by hand too, if you are young enough:D When the scottish guy invented them years ago, they were installing them up to 6 ft in diameter with 44 men on a capstan turning them. Also, FWIW, the...

I used the same valve he wants to use but it was not sized to the pump flow, as the pump was 8gpm and the valve was meant for up to 16gpm. My control area on the dial was max rpm at the 1/2 way point which made adjustment difficult. This may or may not have affected performance, I don't know. I...

I just had 20 screw piles ten ft long installed in March, and I put my 2500sf shop on screw piles in 2009. A flow control valve will not work for your application as I see it. I use FC valves and at low speeds they have no torque in a motor so the motor will stall til pressure builds, and then...

Nice job on the repair. It is almost always cheaper to repair than buy a driveline. On cars the spec for drivelines is .025 run out and low speed implements is .100. This is easy to achieve even by eye with no lathe. When looking at the damaged splines, I did have the thought flitter across my...

I have an L1501, and use it in my garlic growing operation. The underdrive was something I did not know about and it was a pleasant surprise when I discovered it. It is a beautiful thing for undercutting garlic when harvesting. With my size 12 feet struggling in and out of the tractor I have...

A diesel should smoke under heavy load, especially ones with no turbo. But that is a medium load. Have you considered that the previous owner may have turned up the fuel at the injection pump? A continuous over-fueling situation is harmful, and for the pittance it costs, I would replace the...

I built a carriage type mill from scratch in the 1980's. After operating cutting ties and lumber, I found that the humble $1.85 2x4 in the lumber yard was one of the greatest bargains of the century. You need to be young and strong to pull boards and slabs and have a wife who works with you.

I can't answer as to it fitting, but I believe the governor would need to be reworked. A generator is designed to produce peak hp and torque at the rpm of the gen, say 1800rpm. A tractor needs to have balls at low rpm and a wide torque band within the operating range. This could be modified...

I have the same issue on mine, and was thinking of fitting in a little panel LED from a electronics store.

I have done that, but used a PTO pump. It is a homebuilt unit that had a engine failure and was given to me basically as scrap. The pump is a 3.4 cu in pump and I run the pto in a higher gear and the engine just above a fast idle. We broke up all our winter firewood in a very short time. I like...

The whining and jerking sounds like pump cavitation to me. There is probably a procedure to flush air from the system in the manual.

FWIW, Gear pumps and vane pumps are easy to reverse. If you have the confidence to take the pump apart and reverse the housing with the ports you have done it. A gear pump will pump in either rotation, but with the intake being the small discharge port, the pumping capacity would be reversed...

Mine started yesterday at -5C or 23 American. Used the glow plugs and when it started I kept the plugs on til it smoothed out. As my tractor is from 1972, I would be hesitant to disturb the frost plugs. Bear in mind that frost plugs were not put there to be the best location for heaters, they...

I buy as much Chinese as I can, this has been my experience with much touted American made. Last experience was with a terrible American valve spring compressor. The exception is the older American made goods and precision machines from the 60's and 70's. They cannot be beat for quality, fit...

So here it is at night. There is plenty of light and easy to drive in it.
