I found the Glyptol at: Link I noticed that...Kind of like when you are trying to find something, it is always in the last place you look.:) Darn hydraulic hoses usually blow out at the most inconvienient time and position. I have a long piece of hose and the reusable ends now, so it is less expensive and inconvienient than it used to be.
Tribble always seems to want to investigate things. He doesn't even run away when drilling or grinding or running the bandsaw any more unless the noise gets really obnoxious.
The bearing press was a 2 evening project, about 3hrs per. I never new I needed a bandsaw until I got one. It makes things possible that I would never have considered doing with a hacksaw. (like a 15" cut through 1/4" steel channel) I have to get a lathe, but I have more than a few tricks to make small parts without one. Step drills make very clean holes in thin metal. When I found out that Ford wanted $100.00 for that inching lever I said "I don't think so". If it had been designed better, I wouldn't have to replace it now. The same thing happened when part of the speed selector stripped out. If I am going to do something, I like to do it once. A time estimate is tough, since I didn't keep track. I probably averaged 2-3 evenings per week and 1 day per week on the S-O-S. Not counting computer time searching for parts/info/etc. I disassembled the tractor in the fall. Maintaining 1 house and 2 cars while building the new house kind of limits the time available. I would not want to build a house without a machine of similar size, even with the repairs. Thank you to all for the help and guidance with the transmission. Dave
