I thought about doing that but the paint is pretty thin but i might spray some clear on it to preserve it. The paint on the new project is too far gone to do anything with. I think that tractor spent most of it’s life outside.

Your right, that is a cool bit of gear, I'm sure you will get it sorted soon enough Paul

What a cool truck! Most people chucked the flatheads but I'm glad this one was able to be preserved. Magnadyne is such a cool name for an engine

Here are the pics he Emailed me:

only thing missing to make it a perfect machine is the 4-1 bucket. If we knew for sure staying on this property, the 955 would work. wife and I in limbo at the moment due to landlords divorcing .

hope your semi-retirement is different then most! will be interesting after 8-10 months of retirement to up date us with " how much more time you have" !!LOL I try to hide from the world and I'm still found. yesterday was rear wheel bearing on grandsons jeep == yea an all day freebie job; outside with crap tools and no pullers. and the three days a week of "be at the bus stop (35 minutes away) to get daughters youngster from school and -----! never mind. get back to topic.

reality is the fact it's so dam sad a person (working/homeowner) has to go to the extremes of protection and the low Lifes have more rights !! while gassing up my vehicle this afternoon; a Veteran walked out of the convenience store and sat at outside table. I back my jeep up so He was able to see the back window which proudly states "NEVER FORGET OUR VETERANS AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY/also a P O W decal. He thanked me ; next He said " and the immigrants (meaning border crossers ) get all the freebies. It sadden me to hear and realize He was right.

my tiny castle is on a fenced in acre. my drive has a homemade electric remote control gate.. it is not heavy duty, but,,,,, It Draws A Line !!! It is also Rowan County Deputy Approved.. They know us by name, and even call us to ask how the 'Hood' is doin'.. 6 days ago as a matter of fact.. We have 8 cameras that run 24/7 on 2 recorders.. 4 terrabites of storage, and they are hard wired, so there is no choppy recordings, crystal clear as a t.v. soap opera upon playback..

sadly, today's world, homeowner is in more trouble when trying to protect their own property. trick is as mentioned 1-make sure not only are the scum IN your house but ;; 2- put enough shots in same spot so law enforcement can't tell if shots came from the back or front. unless of course you are using a 12 ga .my favorite.

Pretty sure it will be a side valve motor Get a cheap fuel pressure gauge like this 20 bucks Australian, so $1.95 US A tee, a foot of rubber fuel line and maybe a few hose clamps 50 bucks and you will find some definite answers with out any guessing Paul

You should feel lucky Tom it’s all five dollars a gallon around my area ridiculous

Over the weekend I got one door just about done,will have to wait till next week to finish it up.Off to Florida on Wednesday it’s our 40th anniversary so the wife wants to go away so us and one of the kids are off to Key Largo.

here is something I wouldnt expect to see if our Gov. was conservative with a conservative who was in charge of Education... Charlotte Mecklenburg school system invited ''DaBaby'' A Rapper,, to Garringer High School.. Really??? with all the issues that Obama/Biden created within the Black communities,,, and baiting the hook with 'Racism'. The best they could do is bring in a Rapper, with many arrests, which include gun violence and being involved in a shooting, and 1 other gun charge.. Tell me drugs and Whores are not mixed in there somewhere?? Here is another avenue that the Biden Klan is using to destroy our country.. He supports all of the violence in the Black community.. He doesnt care that they are Human Beings, and there is a need to help squash these issues in their community, and to try to help the ones that want a better life.. J.B./ K.H. don't care !!

OOps. You are correct. It is a MAGNADYNE in line 6 cyl. Gas engine.

Cat 955 for sale good shape engine recently overhauled selling for my dad 12000 Latrobe Pennsylvania message me on here for more info

Data on this CM is fairly hard to find. What is GVWR? Is it 33,001? Or simply however many axles a guy can hook up behind it? Would be nice to hook up to B-train high boys and go haul hay bales

Nice looking tractor!! I'd buff that red paint out with some rubbing compound or brush it with Lynn seed oil

I think the OEM gauge would be the same one used on the lighter R/S series and will be the late King Seeley type thermal gauge. These are like Ford and Chry used in the 60's and 70's, with a "regulator" ahead of the gauges and a resistance type sender. The regulators go bad and the gauges also. This is if you want to use the OEM gauge in the dash, if you are hanging another gauge, then never mind.

Nothing to the regulator. Spring loaded diaphragm against a needle/seat. The nut on the top is jam nut, loosen and turn Allen wrench CW to increase pressure, CCW to lower pressure. Don't have to remove it unless you want to. Depends if you can reach it on the engine? I've learned to dread leaning over fenders anymore. Tilt hoods RULE! I was going to get wagon loaded in trailer yesterday but it was 38* at lunch and barely mid 40s in afternoon. Too freaking cold to work outside. Likely take Friday off since it will be near 70s. Suppose to go to test n tune with Buddy on Saturday. First time his car will be out in a couple years.
