My brake rod got bent and the disconnected from the brake lever - easy fix. Doesn't sound like your fix is going to be easy.

Sorry replied in wrong post. Too many leaks to keep track of

Sadly, I worked the tractor really hard today moving tree limbs- and it leaked at the same. bolt. I tighten it a little more but it did not bottom out. I used it a little more and it did not leak - but I am doubtful. Assuming it does leak - I have the following plan(s) - 1. I will have tomorrow...

Prior to using Loctite 236382 4.8-ML. Form-A-Thread Stripped Thread Repair Kit, I spoke to Loctite technical support - she said that the product was discontinued over 2 years ago (and there was no similar product from Loctite currently for sale). She indicated that because the product was on...

Got the tractor running today. The sleeve and Permatex Sleeve Retainer High Temp, 64040 held perfectly - no leaks. Glad you responded before I took the rear axle apart. Don't know how you you put "Solved" before the title of this post - but it is. Thank you so much for your help.

Mountainman is on this site has helped me out with parts for a B. He has a salvage yard and has great prices.

Tomorrow is the day I am doing the thread repair. Weather is expected to cooperate. We shall see. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for your help again.... Wolfman - I do have a guy who will do this type of welding but thanks for the offer. Thanks to Mountainman, replaced these plugs (stripped bolt heads) and can use the old ones for building the tester. PoTreeMan - I have the Work Shop Manual and will the sections...

I understand that the part I am working on is a pressure relief valve. I am interested in testing the relief valve pressure after reassembling this valve. I believe the pressure relief valve is addressed in WSM Manual, page 8-M6 (except I don't see a spring) and the testing procedure is on...

Torch - I like the ideas and will use them. Looking into the hole there appears to be a small hole on the top (and maybe the bottom) of the bolt hole, just after where the bolt would stop when screwing it into the hole. Certainly is best not to cover this hole(s) with locktite. I will also...

Sticking with Plan A. 1. I have ordered the o-ring. 2. A magnet did not attract the shavings. And, looking at other bolt holes on the tractor, I don't think its helicoil. 3. I will not use a shim in the assembly. PoTreeBoy and Wolfman - thank you both for your time and advise.

When I removed the bolt, the spring and charge relief fell out but I was unable to locate the shim. You are probably right about 450 still being in the case. I am hoping to get the parts used so I'll probably get the whole assembly because I don't think there would be a significant price...

Thank you for your help. I was unable to Loctite PC3967 so I ordered Loctite 236382 4.8-ML. Form-A-Thread Stripped Thread Repair Kit from Amazon. I am missing parts 460 and 450 - am in the process of getting these parts. I do not think that I had the necessary clearances to do the helicoil...

The sleeve installation went great today. I intended to let it cure for 24 hrs before adding the hydraulic fluid but have the problem referenced in my newest post. I thank you very much for your help.
