Noah H. Hello,
I am working on a 1948 Ford 8N that had a bad growl in the transmission.

I also replaced the input shaft bearing (part number 9N7066) to be safe.

I found some to replace what I thought was missng, however, upon putting them in, I've noticed even more missing. Some of the holes are the same size as what I just replaced. The others are smaller, they've all fallen out so I don't habe ine to compare to match the size, and I've had no luck finding the specs online anywhere. Can anyone tell me what size bolts go in...

He said he was thinking about getting a griddle instead. I personally have both a smaller griddle and a tailgater sized pellet grill. Suits my needs quit well. It got me thinking, if I could only have one what would I choose.

Which honestly where pretty good. Then wife needed to update a resume, she said ChatGPT made it a breeze. I went ahead and downloaded Deepseek, and have used it some, about fish species to stock in a pond. Wife uploaded a picture of the snake i shot this morning in the chicken coop to Chat and got the species, Eastern Rat snake.

This is a small machine with a 28-cc engine. Husqvarna, right? Can't go wrong with Husqvarna.

I have other blowers now, but I continued using the 125B for blowing out the shop and blowing crud out of my mower's radiator, which is necessary if I don't want it to boil over. The 125B was nice and light for this purpose.

Where I live, ethanol simply does not work in small engines. They gum up very fast. If you're not using a tool very often, you...

I am in need of help and advice from Branson operators.

Similar to BumpandNan on the "Branson Warranty Troubles" thread I have experienced a front axle break failure this past fall. The difference is that this is an out of warranty failure, my tractor is a 2009 3510H model. With it, the wheel assembly came clean off with no warning. Please see pictures attached. While I am not seeking warranty I am quite concerned that this type of failure represents a safety issue which should be...

Ive been lurking here since I somehow stumbled on your very informative website a month or so ago. We are looking for a tractor and I guess thats how I stumbled on to your site. We have done a little looking locally and talked to a few sales people who are steering me towards something around 45 hp I'll be doing lots of reading and maybe become a pest asking questions.]]> 5 Just another junk chainsaw Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:31:53 +0000 https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/just-another-junk-chainsaw.217646/ 217646 invalid@example.com (xyz123) xyz123 I love that nobody knows about certain good saws out there. :laughing: Had to put in another piston today after a tear down to see what was up with the stuck ring.
These saws were way ahead of their time IMO. 1984 Partner 5000 plus and I had a 1979 5000 open port that was strong or stronger. This makes about 15 or more of these I have had now. Keeping a few back, well maybe.

I really like the guys that pass on the Poulan Pro 325 which is a Partner 5500. :licking::laughing:
