Get my D17 LP running, now have to free up the clutch which seems to be rusted tight and won't release. Lots of rust on the trans input shaft.

I want to go over my B end to end.
Things that I know needing attention:
- Left brake isn't working
- wiring isn't right (probably complete re-wire)
- lift cylinder needs rebuild or replacement (leaks down real bad)
- check on starter ring gear (probably needs replacement)
- remove broken bolt where side weights bolt on
- replace shifter boot
- change steering wheel
- mount rear wheel weights
- check final drives over
- change all fluids
I also have work to do on my Ford LGT165, Ingersol 4016PS, & Case 444 garden tractors. Reconditioning projects are:
- plows
- snowblowers
- mower decks
My Case 580B has a few hydraulic cylinders that need rebuilding and I have to address an issue with the starter too.
Probably all of that won't get done because I'm still trying to finish my house rebuild project. I really wanted to be done with the house before now, so that we could be moved into it for Christmas. The flooding around here really slowed things down & now it's deer season, so it'll probably be after the new year before we move in.

My goal for the rest of this year is to get the C that's been sitting in the shop for a little over a year back together and running. There is also a IHC super A behind it that needs about 8 hours of work before it can drive out, it's been in there for 3+ years. I need the space to bring in my AC forklift to repair the bad bearing in the water pump and fix the loose steering. I will also have to figure out why it only has 5 lb of engine oil pressure.

This will be the winter of "catch-up" for us with the business. Still trying to get the new electrical shop set up in the basement along with the computers, printers, etc. This coming Spring, plans for a new 30x64 pole barn are on the list. I have a lot of projects, but no place to do em' this winter till the barn goes up. I'll have to tarp everything up tight this Winter. The Tractors will have to stay out in the cold n' snow. Bummer! Oh well, the car projects are in the garage on the house. JoAnna keeps telling me: "its only temporary Honey"........ I hate the Winter months!! I need to move out next door to Armond in AZ. where its warm!! LOL!

Add front PTO pump on my newly rebuilt 1959 D17 series 1. Also redo all the hydraulics for controlling the 3 point and loader curently it is a pain to shuttle controls.
Replace the rear drive bearings on my 1959 IH T340 4 in 1 bucket cralwer/dozer.
I dont have a shop like so many of you so I have to do all my work in the driveway, sigh.

Well, I have this D19 that I brought home last fall from Nebraska. Bought it with a bad clutch and since got that changed out and it's driving around again.
Got to finish getting it running up to snuff, and put on the new/used radiator shroud I picked up and then I am taking off the wide front and putting on a narrow front and taking off the rear adjustable rims/tires and have a set of bolt on hubs and dished rims with 18.4x38 tires and gonna get it all set up for pulling next year. Also have plenty of other work on all the tractors, wiring harness for the D15, charging system on the D17, and the HD3 to finish and take out and play with in the winter( I don't get yelled at for cutting up the lawn when its all frozen!!)

I am building an articulate turning half scale Allis G. it will have 14 inch wheels,
power steering. the sheet metal will be like the G sheet metal. The motors, one front and one in the back are from Gravely riding lawn mowers. I did a full scale double G with dually several years ago and it gets lots of attention.

that's my dad's and my d-19 we picked up above. over the winter we are gonna pull the fenders off, replace the tool box, replace the brakes, petronix electronic ignition check into a small p/s leak and possibly replace the rims,tires with a real nice used set we found. so far all fluids changed, upgraded the hydraulics to 2 valve/dual remotes rebuilt the seat all new bushings& hardware and new seat pads. gonna get it ready for spring we have some ground to get ready. i'd lke to pull it in stock farm if i have tme to get it prepped for that.

Working on a `52 Massey Harris 44. The only off-color tractor in the stable. An old guy walked into my shop about 2 months ago, said he had an old tractor with a stuck engine. He owned it for 35 years and was giving it up on it. I asked "how much" hoping I could head for the door regardless of the amount. When he said it`s "free", you can have it, I went and got a chain and towed it a short distance to my shop, and have been working on it since. Feel like a "duck out of water" with this thing. He said he was going to call a scrap yard if no one wanted it. Turning into a money pit. Engine rebuild, brakes, wiring, starter, generator rebuild. Rim repairs from calcium chloride and that`s just what I`ve found so far. So far I have $1500 in a "free" tractor that`s worth maybe $2000.

Currently have a WD-45 torn down that had low oil pressure. Got into it and all the rod bearings were spun, have not heard back about the crank to see if it could be ground or not. A complete overhaul in the works for that one. Also have a IH 706 in the shop for injection pump rebuild, new water pump etc. Later in the winter I have a D-14 to start full restoration on. And if time permits, a WD also in need of an overhaul. Luckily these are all customers projects so these will all be income to me. The only thing of mine I will be working on will be going through and rebuilding the injectors in the 180.

Hager,
When a tractor engine spins one rod bearing, what type of damage is typical, beyond the rod and crankshaft? Are other engine parts affected? thanks

D17 Diesel engine rebuild, then power director set up. Brake job on 51 WD with the original brakes, (wish me luck on that one). Replace head gasket on WD45 diesel, leaks water out the front, no lost compression. Start on IB for granddaughter. Then after Christmas...... LOL

2nd and 3rd gears in a WD-45. Anyone whos done it knows that means not much left except engine, frame rails and a shop floor covered with parts. Also need to rebuild the 220 hydraulic pump and finish up my latest engine project, a 4HP Bamfords diesel.

It is sure neat to read about all your projects. And to see the photos of them and the shops that you have! ! I would sure like to have a D19 someday. But I have too many jects ow and need the money to finish them! I have a Coop/Cockshutt 30 that needs a bunch of work! And my WD needs 12 volt light bulbs put in it. And my wifes' 42 C needs some work. We have it scheduled for engine over haul, a young man in church is taking a Junior College Tractor Mechanics course and he needed a project or 2 to work on...so the C is one of his projects in late winter or next spring. I am looking forward to hearing the little C run good!
I also have a Ward's Chor track walk behind tractor that needs restored and a different motor put on it. And I have bee hives to make! So no shortage of work here!

I need to work on a couple of oil leaks on the back axle of my series 2 D17. Leaking out of the brake holes. Not bad but would like to fix. Power steering leaks oil some where at the bolster. I use it the most in the winter for snow removal on my small drive and 2 neighbors drives. So probably will be spring until I get to do it. Don't need it torn down when snow flies. I guess I need 2.
