    I use all Schaeffer Oil products so naturally I use their SOS lab as well.

    What Artifacts/Treasures Have You Found Excavating

    In 2000, the youngest Mastodon so far on the planet was discovered in a homeowners pond in Hyde Park, NY. The entire skeleton was there minus the skull. I was there with my backhoe for doing logistical digging, NEVER for finding bones. That all changed when the scientific group PRI from Ithaca...

    FORD 268 DIESEL

    2 sided question: 1. Looking for a GOOD or rebuilt Ford 268 c.i. diesel engine for my Royer 365 topsoil plant. 2. Has anyone retrofitted a JD 4 banger to the Ford " transmission"? Kubota has a kit for their engine but I'm a Deere guy.

    JD450C

    Tracks are at app. 90% free pivoting now, getting better every time I use old Johnny now. My waste oil brew did the trick. I officially entered old Johnny into the fleet as my new topsoil/compost screening/mixing/loading rig.

    Been using waste oil, a shot of PB Blaster from time to time, anything oil based for years but definitely not water. To each our own.

    JD450C

    I think you were looking at a different ad as I don't remember anything being said on track work. This was in New City, Rockland County--the 2 nasty brothers had a D2, and an old 680 Case TLB also for sale.

    JD450C

    Yeah, broke the tracks free a few months ago as soon as I had it running releasing the clutch slowly. I use waste oil with some ATF added to free up tight rails. Why would you use water????

    JD450C

    Strangest thing happened while checking things with the belly pan off,was checking tightness on front crossbar bolts and not 1,not 2, but 3 bolts just broke off while tightening with hardly any effort. Going to be fun getting those broken studs out now but have lots of experience with...

    JD450C

    Engine runs like a Deere. Hats off to O&C. Never got involved with tearing into a pump, that's why there's experts out there.Hopefully, the clutch and the left steering clutch just need adjusting, they're both not right.

    Another Questionable diesel thread...

    It was so cold for so long in my part of the world that my JD 410G would not respond to a full tank of clean diesel treated with a double dose of my Schaeffer Winter fuel treat with a full bottle of 911.I could get it to run somewhat for short periods, mostly by heating up my filter with a torch...

    Wood deck life on gooseneck trailer?

    You want to use only White Oak on decks, Red Oak is meant for inside furniture use. I have had great success with my brew of a mixture of waste oil, diesel, and Linseed oil.After it soaks into the pores in the sun it's not even slippery.

    JD410G running problem

    Refresh my memory--what parts did you buy? I still have the hoe assembly and the loader, some misc.stuff. Oh, also have a nice set of street pads.

    JD410G running problem

    I'm quite sure it will be "cold related" as this rig is still like new, only has a few thousand hours on her and has always been meticulously maintained by me.Ran perfectly up until this Arctic freeze these last 2 weeks. Pumpguy, I believe you're also over at JD crawlers right? Your advice on...
