Oh Kenny the Great Waffler--jis' cut the guy a check will ya? And go have a donut.

It only adds insult to injury (yours) when the contractor sees that you gave up after one afternoon. PLUS you're in it for at least ONE favor to trial run the dump truck---and you know he's gonna expect it FILLED UP when you return it (or if you're like MY (former) friends--it'll be returned EMPTY).

Aaaaght! I feel a Visa/MC commercial coming on...

One dump truck favor: $200.

Time lost from other activities: $500.

Fixing a flat tire: $125.

Telling your TP friends they were right: PRICELESS.

Geeze--what I would give to be there to see THAT---the passing of the Torch! Kinda...brings...a tear to m' eye. (sniffle)
I'm getting choked up. Gotta ...go.

(Wringing my hands in patient and confident expectation)Oooooh maaaan! Can't wait 'til Saturday nite when Kenny logs in!

I've gotta agree with Murf and Duke on this one...

I've tried too many times to remove stumps with the wrong equipment. It's not worth it.

There are only 2 solutions for any stump: God or a D-8....and sometimes God AND a D-8.

Walkbehinds as in mowers? Surely you gest.

I got drive it home---you're about 30 years late coming to the party.

Who are these people that advised you? They're not giving you good advice. If you're paying them for consulting, fire them. Seriously.

Just so we're on the same page, please don't mistake us for some yahoos that happen to like (love) high-priced tractors and stuff. Murf in particular (if I could toot his horn) has a multi-national construction business, has a pilots license and engineering degrees. Many of us on this board, and all of us on this thread are business owners in our right---some large; some not so. Some are engineers or have engineering background. Nearly all here are farmers or have farmed. None of us though fit the stereotype of a "yahoo". Well maybe one, but Kenny knows he is (trying to keep it light here :) )

Our style may cramp yours; as your typical Americans, we shoot-from-the-hip so to speak and tell it like it is.

If you want our opinions--we won't hold back. But we don't pander and we certainly don't candy-coat.

Having worked in R&D and had a company doing same, I know that bringing ideas to the table with the expectation that this will be the next best thing since sliced bread---and then to have thrown back in your face, isn't what you expected. And no one wants to hear their new baby is ugly. From one professional to another, to be totally candid you're approaching the research phase in an amateurish way. There. I said it.

quotation from manual 'zategnite ravnomjerno snagom 20-22kgs na rukavcu od 0.5m' --> tight evenly with force of 20-22 kgs on arm/wrist of 0.5m. Try to find better translation, maybe I'm wrong.<br>

M=F*l M=20*0.5=10 kgm<br>

The torque isn't greater because there is no head gasket,head comes directly on cylinder.

[QUOTE=AlbertaDan;160979] I am thinking of buying in Alberta and moving to Newfoundland. The 19% tax out etast is a killer. Especially when compared to 5% here. I have to move my tools and vehicles anyhow. What's one more to move? [/QUOTE]

Dan, that logic doesn't work, not unless it will be quite some time before you move and you need/want the tractor in Alberta.

Aside from the costs of moving the tractor 3,500 miles, all you would have to do is buy the tractor from a dealer in NB and show them your Newf drivers license. Voila, tax-free out of province sale. If they don't want to do that drive across to Bangor or take the ferry to Portland and buy it there. You don't pay the provincial sales tax coming back across the border, just the GST.

Besides, with the economy the way it is on the East Coast I'd bet you could save more than the difference in the taxes by buying it back east anyways.

Best of luck.

I will be mowing, plowing snow, blowing snow to start. Later on I will be plowing a garden, tilling, pulling an occasional pine tree stump.

The whole column needs to be removed as the leak is at the base. The main reason that we have found for this is using the steering wheel to help get on the tractor.

The easy fix is buy a new metal tube.

But if you can do brazing, or sliver solder you can repair it that way too. Assuming it's collapsed drill a small hole opposite the crushed area---not too big as you'll need to repair it later. In a vice with jaws slightly open, set the tube in the opening. Uncrush the tube by inserting a small flat punch or ground-off screwdriver in the hole and lightly tap the crushed area rotating the tube as you go. Once done, lightly sand off the plating from around the wound. Then braze or silver solder it. Be sure to flush it out after you are done to remove bits and droplets of braze ro solder and possible flakes of steel inside

You may be able to remove the entire of rubberhose/connected to the steel tube as an assembly and have one rubber hose made up at a local hydraulic hose maker (look in the Yellow Pages under hydraulic hoses and repair)

Based on the size of the machine it is probably 'rated' at 1,500 pounds lift capacity.

Good luck trying to lift much more than half of that, but that's life.

Best of luck.

You have to remove head, after that it's simple. take out the tube and replace o-rings.

Too Cool! I used to spend a lot of time in the seat of my grandfather's 8N. My uncle still has it and has restored it and I have told him I want it when he passes on.

The old 8N's were bullet proof. I hope the retro model sells well!

Thanks for the comment. My 4WD shaft sounds a bit different from yours. Here's a photo of the drop-box end of the shaft (underneath drivers seat): http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp63/eakle/Tractor4WDDropBox.jpg and here is one of the other end of the shaft at the front differential http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp63/eakle/Tractor4WDFrontAxle.jpg. In the "drop-box" photo you can see the bolt that can be removed and when removed the 4wd shaft housing can be rotated (sleeve at other end of shaft does not rotate so housing rotates inside the sleeve), but I can't get the shaft housing to slide forward into the sleeve shown in the other photo. I pounded on it a bit to try to persuade it, but it didn't seem to want to slide (i.e. "telescope") forward. The front differential side of the shaft shows a sleeve with 4 bolts. This sleeve is quite rigid even with the bolts removed and I didn't want to pry it loose, as I was afraid I would damage a gasket. Do you suppose I don't need to remove any of these bolts, and when I break apart the tractor, the 4wd shaft housing will pull apart at the sleeve near the front differential (and drive-shaft end will pull out of the drop-box end)?
