I'm 72 and my Dad just passed, at 100YO. He recalls the brand new 1941 Case SC tractor being delivered to my grandpas farm, right after an April blizzard. I recently rebuilt the engine and it runs just like new. m My 13 YO motorhead grandson now has his great, great grandfathers tractor! .

One of the sneakier leaks in a house is the toilet. Once a year or so, shut off the supply valve under the toilet tank just before you go to bed. In the morning, lift off the cover (or just try to flush it) and check that it is full. If the tank leaked down even a little overnight, fix the...

I also use a motorized ball valve. Search Ebay for them. A 3/4” Stainless Steel model might be $40-60. I have a 110 volt, 2 wire, Normally Closed, that I plug into a Wion brand Smart outlet (Menards $20) The valve is plumbed in right after the pressure tank. Since I have a branch line buried...

In the test described above as “continuity” be aware that without load, continuity can show up as PERFECT, no resistance, thru a wire as small as a mosquitos whisker. But that small conductor won’t carry enough current to light up his flashlight. Again, we need a load. And Bill is spot on—these...

Now, there is nothing wrong with a digital meter!! They are VERY sensitive, which makes them great for a number of things. One of their most unique but practical uses is to measure “voltage drop” which is the difference between a theoretically perfect circuit versus the actual, real world...

As a retired Class 8 (Eighteen Wheeler) mechanic, I chased hundreds of these problems. Use a taillight bulb and socket from an old junk car, or grab a 1156 bulb and solder on a couple leads. Adding alligator clips will make it easy to use. The poster above is right, you need some load on the...

I guess I can’t attach a pic bigger than 146kb, so the detail showing the part numbers is too blurred to read. Mouse, if you would PM me with your email address, I can send better pics.

Pics, maybe?

I’m having a bit of trouble posting pics, but I have the nut in question (7/8-4 Acme) on the kitchen counter, along with the packaging from 2 of the three nuts I ordered. Alas, the 7/8 packaging is missing, but the packaging from the 5/8-4 shows 1113-15 and the packaging from the 3/4-4 says...

I just noticed that your screw was 7/8, and mine was 3/4, so not sure if I am still on track, but here goes. Scroll back to thread number 656-659 for pics. Here is a link. You can also just Google “11114-15 nut” and it shows up, pic and all. (Update: Google 11115-15 for the 7/8-4 version)...

Here is the first post from me..

I took a shot in the dark and ordered 3 nuts from eReplacements. I got the 11113-15, the 11114-15 and the 111145-15. The 14-13 is 5/8-4, the 11114-15 is 3/4-4 and the 15-15 is 7/8-4. In spite of not being even close to the shape of the original nut on my a columbian D44, the 14-15 nut seems to...

Can anyone point me towards the main nut for my D44 Columbian? Screw is 3/4-4. I’m a bit of a machinist, so I might be able to marry some new threads into the original stripped out holder.
