Sounds like the center sheave in the variator might need some attention too. It should be able to move side to side with slight even pressure. Over time than can wear enough that the sheave can angle slightly, causing it to hang up. At the moment I'm not sure if Deere has parts available for...

There's a spring underneath that is part of the variator, depending on how much the adjustment bolt that is attached to it is threaded in or out affects the rate of "take up" that the variator has. If the spring is tightened up, the variator should react very quickly.

Doug, to adjust the Variator on the 110, set the lever in the third notch up from full forward (should also be the fifth notch from full rear). There should be two knock out plugs in front of the lever, remove the front one ( I think) and there should be a 3/4 bolt behind it. Loosen that bolt...

Two piece lever maybe? Remove/install when getting in and out of the cab.

Beet juice is ok, but messy when it leaks, pretty sticky.

Actually Bill, I was a expert by the time I first drove on RT 22, I had two years of driving a Army lowboy in Germany under my belt by that time.;)

This is the truck set I had, my dad and I had a lot of fun cutting each other off and other shenanigans.

They had a couple of slot car tracks when I first seen it, the next time they had RC car tracks pretty much filling the space.

I remember seeing a place like that when I was out there Doug, can't place exactly where, was Rapid City or Sioux Falls, thinking Rapid.

Did you ever think about making a four in one bucket for it?

The three rail (Lionel) is normally O scale, next size down is S (kinda rare), next is HO (half O scale), next N, then Z and ZZ(?). The last three are TINY, you can have a whole display on a kitchen table.

First track set I had as a kid was the one with the two red, white and blue corvettes. The second and last track set was the Aurora/AFX tractor trailer set with two steerable trucks. The truck one was fun, my dad and I would sideswipe and cut each other off when racing. The only downside was the...

Pierre kinda had the same setup when I was there.

Minneapolis Moline always kind of did their own thing engine wise.

Those are the exact ones, very informative.

I was watching a couple of videos on the tube the other day, a machine shop was re-doing two complete sets of Moline cylinders. It was pretty neat seeing all the different things they had to do to actually work on those side valve engines.

That little tractor did a lot of hauling, tough little bugger too. I made a set of tire chains for it and pulled a rock about size of a pickup truck set of duals.

It's possible they built them for Sears, as a kid my one uncle fixed up a little MTD made tractor for me with Crusader on the hood and front grill. I was told it was bought through Sears. It was 5hp, solid rear axle, just went forward and reverse, and had a single blade mower deck on it. He took...

Gotta start somewhere.
