    Caterpillar 941B Water Pump leaking

    However, you will likely need the arrangement number on the engine tag

    Memories for us old truckers

    Uhgggg! I’m old now. I can’t contort my body like that any more

    My CAT 426 Project

    Those bucket pumps are cheap but i always put a better hose on them. They usually come with a crappy stiff vinyl/plastic clear hose so i upgrade to an oil-resistant rubberized one

    BCIII Cummins Rebuild.

    I still use the 105 because i also use it on certain hydraulic seals along with a Door-Ease stick

    3 wire alternator nightmare

    Willie59, didn’t you mean to say ‘smaller’ pulley on the alternator so it would turn a bit faster?

    Might have bought some tires

    Can you somehow add cast iron wheel weights? I prefer using them to adding fluid/calcium. No corrosion, however, if the rims weren’t designed for weights then they may have to be reinforced around the holes where the weights are attached. If none can be found, and you are handy, you may be able...

    648 round baleer

    Probably not if you can cycle it a few times before putting it to work. Can you cycle it with the rod end disconnected and not damaging anything?

    Gasket Question (for JCB though could be any brand)

    A thin paper gasket will leak. The rubber/cork (cork with bits of rubber imbedded) about 2 to 3mm thick may be best

    Might have bought some tires

    Goodyear hasn’t made a decent ag tire in years based on my experience. For implements i started using BKT. For tractors, Firestone or BF Goodrich(which is now a subsidiary of Michelin but cheaper). I would probably use BKT on tractors and other stuff too depending on the price

    Memories for us old truckers

    I’ve still got the rope seal tools in my toolbox. If a youngster won’t believe how a chinese finger grabs, just convince him/her to stick a finger in it and give it a pull:D

    Well, now they can call that excavator a LEBROKEN:rolleyes:

    I understand why manufacturers came out with aluminum rails but around here they were a disaster
