    Cockshutt 540 hydraulic question

    I'll bet you can find something from McMaster Carr that will work just as well as the original: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/rod-eyes/fully-threaded-rod-end-bolts-6/

    JOHN DEERE 896A bar rake

    Yup, the 890 series of rakes used 2060 roller chain. Any industrial supply store should have or be able to order it and the connecting links. I have an 894 I added an extra idler sprocket to and used a longer length of chain to wrap around the reel sprocket backwards, so it spins backwards and...

    Vermeer f g h starter flaps

    Hmm, I'm in Central Ontario, and I bought a whole new set of the main belts for my 504G from that supplier I sent the link for. I think I might have had to call to arrange shipping, but it was all fairly straight forward. Also try Erik's or other suppliers for belting. Lots of Canadian companies...

    Vermeer f g h starter flaps

    I have one that uses sections of old baler belt for the starter flaps, and have heard of others using just about anything. Getting the width of flaps right (3" x 43-5/8") and adjusting the tooth clearance is probably more critical than material choice. You can also buy them new at pretty...

    Hesston Drive Gear/Sprocket Part Number?

    I don't know the PT series too well. Been around them, but never looked at too closely. But I guarantee if it's a chain sprocket, it's a standard roller chain sprocket available at TSC or an industrial supply. Measure the chain pitch of the links. The pitch will dictate the size of roller chain...

    Splicing a sickle bar

    Sounds like you have a broken knife back, not a broken bar. Very common, especially around here in the Canadian shield where everything's so rough and rocky and gets beat to heck. Often caused when a section works loose, angles up, and jams between guards. Welding is the typical method to fix...

    Voltage used to power , for street car ( bus) ?

    Yup, Toronto still uses street cars. They've been slowly replacing the old ones with new ones made by Bombardier. I like them for nostalgic reasons, but it's a little irksome when you're trying to drive through Toronto traffic and then someone's trying to drive a freight train through the middle...

    Vermeer 504f twine assembly

    When looking for donors, keep in mind that the 504G was pretty much identical to the 504F. Only difference was the F had hydraulic cylinders and two springs to control bale density, while the G had four springs. Everything else (including the twine mechanicsm) was the same. They were available...

    Vermeer 504f twine assembly

    It can be fabricated pretty easily. I recommend going to a 12V electric linear actuator however: lots of 504F's & G's came standard with them, and even if not it's easy to convert with $200 of parts off Amazon. With the F having hydraulic tension, you need three remotes to run it if you have...

    Vermeer H cartridge bearings

    They're the eccentric lock collar type of bearing: The collar on the bearing's inner race is twisted to lock onto the shaft. Lots of good info on how to remove them online, so I won't go into details about their generic removal. A few tips specific to farm equipment and Vermeer balers, however...

    john deere 1209 wobble box

    True, the 1219 (and even the later 1209's) were a different animal than the early 1209's before the serial number break. 1219's had the beefed-up wobble box mount, 5 bar reels for smoother and slightly faster crop flow, and an improved vulcanization process (and slightly different chevron...

    john deere 1209 wobble box

    Parts diagrams are available for free from John Deere. Just Google 'Deere parts books' and follow the appropriate links. Good luck with it. The wobble box was one of the weak points of the 1209. I never had any patience for the 1209. The early ones especially were prone to wobble box failures...

    New Holland 55 hay rake

    Is the case cracked, or is one of the gears inside stripped out. If it's a gear, most manufacturers even as far back as the 1930's used bevel and spur gears with standard involutes and pressure angles. You may be able to measure and match it up to something offered by a place that sells standard...

    JD 5 sickle mower restoration

    They do poke through. As you suspected, into a little countersunk divot. After years of rubbing along the ground it'll be worn smooth and even so you can't see it. You should be able to punch/press it out, but I'll bet it's pretty rusted in there. It may be best to drill through the centre with...

    Generic Milwaukee batterys.

    I've bough generic batteries for Milwaukee, Bosch, and Dewalt. None performed quite as well as the name brand of the same size, but still respectable. I'd say the 5 ah generic ones are about the equivalent of a 4 ah genuine one, so still way better than the stock 2 ah batteries the tools come...

    Vintage Chainsaw Fuel Mix

    I don't think you can do any harm using the Stihl oil at the higher mix ratio for any saw - . The new Stihl and husky oils burn up at a higher temperature, because newer saws and most of their high-revving, air-cooled two strokes run at higher temperatures. But that shouldn't be a problem in...

    JD No.5 Sickle Mower Ledger plates

    Those aren't the original guards for a #5: The original ones had a narrower, square ledger rather than that triangular shape. Those ones with the triangular ledger plate and the ones with the '700' are one of the aftermarket style for Deere mowers they've been making for years - still available...

    International 990 Swather

    If you can find one that's not completely worn out they're superb machines (as far as older haybines go). Infinitely better than the Deere 1209's and (in my opinion) at least as good as any similar-era New Holland. IH had a bad rap with some of their other haying equipment (mainly due to the...

    ratchet parts

    Deere never made their own hand tools (for the most part) but instead rebadged others. They usually only put their name on quality stuff: I would Google some pictures of ratchets in the same era from other ratchet manufacturers (Stanley, Snap-On, Mac, S-K, etc.). I'll bet one of them will match...

    Dowsing Rods

    When I worked at a building supply store, a driller came in and was talling to one of the other employes on the desk about the witcher that worked with him. He said that he himself never had the gift. My co-worker asked, 'Can he wear a watch?', and the driller said, 'No, unless it' s digital'...
