As Bill said, there are kits on eBay with pint and half-pint bottles. I just picked up a kit of four half-pints for $20 - for a hobbyist like me, that will be just fine. ~~ Mark Moulding South Bend

ya can probably use one from a longer lathe , just cut it & turn the end to fit in the support animal

My next question was going to be about how difficult it would be to cut that keyway. I have a bench-top mill, and also the milling attachment for the South Bend (and I guess there'd be no problem

Bed length. Is also a determining factor. I converted a 54” C to a B but. Snared a perfect 42” bed in the process. I bought a Leadscrew for a 42 inch B. I can measure that if you

George is correct. The feed end of the 9A screw is different than the 9B and 9C. A 9B would be Ideal. You could use your existing 9C screw if you could cut a slot in it with your mill. You would

Any tractor needs a transmition safety switch so the tractor don't start when in gear. I had a neighbor get killed because he hot wired the transmition safety switch. On the small tractors the switch

I left the tractor in gear once and started it. It ran into my pickup truck which had the passenger door open and pushed it flat against the front fender. Bought a new truck a few months later. Typos

Yes. It was a good little history lesson. It’s nice to know why something was installed which is in common use today Al

Ahha! Nothing to do with a big hammer coming out from under the dashboard, then! Dangerous business, farming. Thanks, Eddie

To start an MF35 tractor one has to put the Hi-Lo ratio lever into the neutral position. This then closes a safety switch, allowing the starter solenoid to be energized from the ignition switch. At a
