Re: New project

for some reason the bolt holes in the bottom always seem to be a bit off, I normally just drill the three outside holes one size bigger before I mount them just to save on the grief

How many of those tractors have you rebuilt? I should have bought my cousin's 1951 8N and sent it down to you.. I let it pass though.. Bugger...

this will be my 18th Farmall, I mostly refurbish Allis Chalmers and Fords, but I have a soft spot in my heart for these little Farmall cubs.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Got the front axle off and pulled the bolster. Replaced front crank seal and washed down the block.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

while I was waiting for the block to dry I shot one of the front rims that I cleaned up yesterday with a coat of paint.

We can expect around 115,000 views by Oct 31. Awesome in my book.
