So I was digging through some NOS parts boxes today and found something interesting I had never noticed before!
The original electric lift motor from IH is way shorter than the new ones I get today.
Not that anyone else cares.

But I like the sticker on the box that says made in USA.

Actually the ones you buy today are made by the same USA based company.

OT Friday. Neighbor has a Yazoo with a 24HP Honda. Won’t start. I check it out. Good spark. Crank it and a lot of fuel in the exhaust and cylinders. Was going to pull the carb apart and I happened to look in the end of the rubber vent hose. Mud daubber got in and plugged it up. Blew it out and fired right up. Don’t know how long he tried to start it but I blew a lot of gas out of the muffler. I mean a lot. Told him to change the oil even though it didn’t smell of gas.

My OTF post of something I'm going to look at in the next week or so!
I think I might just need this thing.

Charlie, that looks pretty cool, what model is it? Looks like the loader bucket has seen some rough use. EDIT: That's located in some wide open country, must be in the Dakotas.

Doug, rotten mud daubers! They always seem to fill up every setscrew hole on my mechanical PTOs.

It's a 4100.
And yes I've already ordered the manual for it. LOL

I am 90% sure that is a 3800 backhoe loader, 4100s have different fenders than that one has.

 

[digger]

Ben,
Your right, I had a brain fart.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Ah, a 3800.

I knew it wasn't a 4100, I know what those look like.

 

[kmcconaughey]

While doing a bit of internet research on the IH 3800, I found this -> IH 3800

Charlie, if you do get the 3800 be careful loading and unloading it!

 

[digger]

Kraig, no worse than my 4100.

Here’s another interesting OTF.....

This is by AvE. If you are familiar with his videos, he can be “colorful” but his content is really good. I’ve watched many of his tool and other videos, but this one caught my attention. He explains how a Sauer-Danfoss pump works. It’s not a 15U, but it does help me understand the ideology how they work. I’ve read all the stuff in the manual, but this ties it together visually.

Scott: I thought I was the only one around here..

Here is a dictionary to help understand this crazy Canadian: https://avedictionary.com/ It is believed that his background is in heavy mining in Western Canada and throughout the world, but he's also a machinist. His "vijeos" on Youtube include dissembling power tools and other equipment and reviewing quality. He is not sponsored by any company and you might not like what he's got to say about your favorite tools..

Caution - he can be addictive

 

[digger]

Well it is Minnesota after all!

A little help from Paul B.

 

[bfolkersma]

How do you open the hood on that original?

 

[kide]

"How do you open the hood on that original?"
Ya gotta be Paul Bell or have his magic touch!

 

[mgwin]

I'll bet he has a quick connect on that pipe!
