http://www.csgnetwork.com/rpmcalc.html Try that link, 11 r 24.5 tires should figure around 44 inch tall, 42 for lo 24.5s and 11 22.5. dont recall tire height for lowpro 22.5s. B designation means the OD is .75:1 IIRC. Just plug in your numbers and figure out where you want to be RPM wise. I run tall 24.5 rubber with 4.42 rears and run 65 to 70 comfortably.

Maybe he should clutch to that stuffed animal on his bed instead of a rifle he cannot operate. His soft hands look more atune to cuddling than violence.

If its an older trailer, I would probably ask 900 at least, for a months rental. Also, make sure they include it on their insurance policy while they are dragging it, just in case.

The only thing that i'd worry about, would be that those older diesels were designed and built to fire on diesel from 40+ years ago. Fuel back then was not nearly as well refined or clean as today's fuel. Personally, i wouldn't want to boost the cetane number much if any from at the pump levels. It doesn't need to be rocket fuel in an old motor. Lubricity would be a major priority though, so maybe a little bit of 2 cycle oil at fill up or marvel oil.

I'm sorry for the way the pictures are displayed. Just another example of computer illiteracy

A couple of weeks ago, I was hauling lime to a farm south of Covington and saw this little gem sitting off the side of the road for sale. I thought it was pretty odd for around this area so I googled it, and it turns out it was newer than I thought. The first thing that I read was a little writeup in 10-4 magazine about it being one of a few built, after Reo went tits up, for somewhere in Ohio. I stopped back by and looked it over, gas motor,allison auto and a belly mount blade. The man selling it seems nice on the phone,says everything on it works and runs, but I don't know that he knows that the little truck is kinda special. It now has an Oklahoma farm tag on it.

When you had it at the dealer they should have checked the fuel pressure at the lift pump, that is always a good place to start. Also check fuel lines and connections for places it could suck air. What are your exhaust temps like when you are having this problem? You could have a boost leak at a silicone boot or at the air to air itself. My experience with the pedal sensor is that it either work or it doesn't.

Gotta love Montana Craigslist ads, so many times they are willing to trade for cattle. I wonder if the "naughty ads" under personals mention cattle too?

I'm thinking a lot of people in Oklahoma might be reenacting the Dustbowl migration for wages like that. We have corporations and big companies around here not willing to pay that.

Stay strong, and know prayers are being said for you.

A second cousin of mine had a Deutz Allis front wheel assist. It was air cooled of course and could drag a chisel plow around in the hottest summer weather without breaking a sweat. Our Deeres struggled in the same heat. My Grandpa on the other side of my family ran 2 smaller Deutzs as hay tractors. two to three hundred hour oil changes, vs 100 hr or less for deeres and cases. That same front wheel assist Deutz is still in the family, different second cousin. Belarus was a Russian or Ukranian tractor. They were a simple tractor but not the most durable things. They are not related to Deutz.

The blue heads on the Deere combines are Shelbourne-Reynolds stripper heads. It uses a high speed rotating drum with triangle shaped teeth to pull the grain from the plant without cutting off the straw. The only thing going through the machine is grain and seed hulls, so the combine can operate faster and leave the residue intact for no-till. They have been around for years and are really useful in down wheat. I ran one for a couple of years in my past life.

I thought most cats run 14.5 to 15:1 compression ratios. Along with all that other jazz, it sounds like a molested motor

There are 2 piles of wheat at least that large in Enid, and i think 3 more up the road in Medford. There are smaller piles in some of the smaller towns as well. In fact, I went to town yesterday and moved my truck because it was parked right where the local COOP has started the dirt work for a 1 million bushel "bunker" to pile wheat. Price in town this morning was $3.05 for wheat, add another 15 to 20 cents for Enid terminal price. I know it sounds "pie in the sky" and all but its a shame to have people in our own country, and many places around the world, going hungry and this grain just gets piled up to sit and rot.

I was on the other side of this when I was still farming. I planted wheat or milo right up next to the lease roads, but I never got too worked up if someone needed to run over a little of it. The reason I had for it was weed control, planting something and having herbicide down to prevent cheat and rye and thistles from taking over that edge. If its in the edge it eventually spreads further into the fields.
