    Ed T., Nice job and a very creative solution! I'll keep that in mind if mine starts to leak in the future. The red Permatex aircraft "Hi-Tack" sealant that I used is about the best gasket "goo" I've ever used and is very robust. It's unaffected by almost everything and stays pliable...

    Jason W. & Earl F., Great pics and advise! Started doing the Hytrans & filter change after work today and found another problem w/this 1976 1650 w/loader that for now I'm going to live with. There was an odd assortment of bolts and studs used to secure the cover on the diff...

    Steve B. & Earl F., I'm still trying to sort out this non-maintained and abused 1650 w/ johnson 14 loader that I got a from previous owner that threw away parts that were in his way while he worked on it (i.e.- belly pan, rear hood support, etc.) and then abandoned his efforts, left it...

    Earl F., Success! I took your advise. The hydro-lift control valve is free & it works now with no leaks. I left it in place and used a 12" x 5/8" aluminum drift rod I have and went through the hour-meter's dash panel opening to get a better line on it. Kept the top and bottom of...

    Charlie and Earl, Thanks for your replies. I think I'll do what you described Earl. I'm going to keep it wet with some rust dissolving penetrant oil and keep working the shuttle in/out and see how it goes. (Maybe with some light hammer taps) I noticed when looking at the exploded...

    Charlie, A new discovery concerning the new hydro-stat valves. They only "sputter" a little out the top vent holes when trying to use the messed up rear lift control valve. Why would they do that? They don't leak at all otherwise. I guess I have to try and disassemble the shuttle valve...

    Charlie & Marlin, Thanks for your quick responses. For the lift control, all linkages are good and the control lever is not bent or binding. Have you ever heard of one of these shuttle valves have an internal failure that would cause this problem? Post edited per request...

    Hello to all, I need help concerning my rear hydro-lift on my 1976 1650. It raises just fine and with plenty of force, but will not lower. As far as I can tell all parts are original to the tractor. There are no external leaks anywhere concerning the lift cylinder and the control valve...

    Hi Guys!, I've been working on my 1650 w/loader that I posted pics of right after I got it in August. Been buying a lot of parts that were missing when I bought it. I've replaced all 14 hydraulic hoses for the loader as they were all pretty rotted and cracked. Flushed the pump, all...

    Hi all!, I'm in the process of replacing all the rotted hoses of the "Johnson Workhorse 14" that's mounted on my '76 1650 Cub Cadet. I have a couple of questions that you all may have the answers to. Question #1 - In the manual for the Johnson, it says to use #40 weight SD motor...

    My 1936 Caterpillar Model 22

    My dad was 1/2 owner and he gave me his half. Talked to his partner and he sold me his interest in it for $250.00. The bargain included a 6T tilt-bed trailer for it. The Cat sat in a field and hadn't been run for over 15 years. Took me a couple of hours of tinkering with to get it...

    Hydro relief valve construction observations

    Mark C. Do you think these valves are made of something other than low carbon steel like 1018? Or do you think maybe an alloy like tool steel so the check ball doesn't wear the seat too badly. I figure if it cracks that easily then they must be made of a high carbon steel or a...

    Hydro relief valve construction observations

    Charlie P. No, no. You misunderstood my point. My point is, that instead off machining off the top of the die pressed top of the body of the valve and then welding the cap to the body of the valve after refurbishing the unit, a die can be made that can expand the "crimp" or rolled edge of...

    Hydro relief valve construction observations

    Today I swapped my relief valves to diagnose my "no reverse". The right one was leaking out the top, I figured it was bad. Sure enough, now I have reverse and no forward. I know there is a fellow, much revered here and elsewhere, that refurbishes them. I'm not trying to take anything away...

    By Jim Storma (Jstorma) on Friday, July 29, 2016 - 10:08 pm: Jim, Looks like you have a nice piece of equipment there with the loader and gannon. Were the rear tires flat or was is sitting in the spot for a L-O-N-G time? Reply; Hi Jim, Yes, all the equipment has been...

    Jim, Jason & Jeff, Thank you so much for the warm reception! The 1650 was bought here in L.A. county in SoCal, Kagel canyon, not far from where the fires are. I split time between Burbank and OR.for 25+ years for my job. The lady I bought it from also has a VERY clean late 60's to...

    <font color="000000"><font face="arial,helvetica"></font>First IH Cub owned. Bought this 1976 model 1650 IH Cub Cadet for $350.00 last week. It has a Johnson work horse #14 loader & a Gannon Box scraper / scarifier mounted to it. Needs a LOT of work done to it, but I always wanted a...
