I bought an eight ton bottle jack from them last year and it seems to be a better made jack than the 12T included with the press. Is it normal for the jack platform to have 1/4 inch + slop and side...

That would be the inside dimension of the belt. A Gates TR20412 is the shortest from Gates. I have a TR20451...

    Another gauge question

    The ammeters on my 49 and 51 have the loop or inductive pickup on them. They are also not as thick as the newer ones. The new ones are about 1 MM bigger round than the original gauges requiring some filing or Dremel work. I bought item # A0NN10670A-BLAC, replaces FAD10850A which I can only...

    The tach on my tractor won't register correctly anymore, replaced sensor in vain, all grounds check good and I cleaned every plug in with contact cleaner. A replacement instrument cluster is $600 or more. I haven't found anyone who repairs the cluster for a 5105. I was thinking of trying a...

    When I overhauled my '49 8N I didn't have any difficulty removing the intake valves using the notched screwdriver method. I also modified a curved prybar/scraper I had by notching out the center to fit around the valve stem. The exhaust valves were more stubborn as one was so stuck I cut the...
