Hi Board!
Weather and time now permit renewed work on my 1929 McCormick Deering 22-36. I think it will now run, but I don't want to start it without a belt on the fan and water pump. I have tried several belts, but can't seem to come up with a size that will work. It looks as if a 1" x 63" is correct, but I can't find one. Also, a previous post spoke of changing gear oil in the transmision. They said their's was thick as honey. I checked mine, and found it to be the same...black as night and as thick, or thicker than honey. I drained and saved it. Some of the last of it even had the appearance of sludge with a small ammount of fine metal flakes in it, but no appearant water contamination. The small ammount of metal flakes don't bother me too much, as I expect there would be some from normal wear. My manual mentions saybolt viscosity between 140-150/sec. I don't understand how this relates to gear oil weight. Is it a bad idea to change gear oil? I've heard of some applications that say never to change gear oil. I don't intend to work it real hard... perhaps pull a three bottom at my neighbors plowing bee. Is 80-90 weight ok for light work loads?

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
