After completing my probation time at John Deere cylinder in Moline, IL. last Sept. and now after having 1 year of service there, I need a new bumper sticker. I need to put it on my locker. Where could I get one that says " A Bad Day At Rollag Is Better Than A Good Day At Work" ? Considering...

F-12 fuel tank Interesting -- I will try the solvent and hardware idea. Thank you. Paul

I have a 1934 Farmall F-12 with a fuel pump. A number of years ago, my Uncle Morris told me that he "just parked the tractor when the fuel pump gave out". Yesterday, I started to re-furbish the tractor after it not having been run for about 7+/- years. As I took off the fuel pump for...

bench drill press Mark; Thank you for your phone number. Charlene just returned home from her client ( she is a CNA doing home health care), so she will not be able to take pictures untill after 3:30 PM, Sunday. I would REALLY like to be at Rollag now, but cannot. I still have to work...

Table drill press I was at an auction today and bought a bench mounted drill press for $3.00. There is a "V" belt pulley on the back which is on a shaft with a 2-flat belt pulley set. This is at the base of the unit. Power is then transferred to the top of the drill press by a flat belt...

I have 14 wooden bushings which I think are for combine straw walkers. They are from J.I.Case ( the box has "TENNECO Company" on it. The part number is -- H 245W. I guess they are straw walker bushings because they look like the ones I needed to put into an International combine in 1971. Would...

To All; As the former Penberthy plant is now in the process of being closed by TYCO Valves and Controls, I have been trying to see what if any equipment or supplies can be available before the jet pump area ( the injectors) goes to Black Mountain, NC., and the small valve (try-cocks and...

To All; It is with deep regret that I write this. As some of you may have seen by some of the paperwork which I have been passing around , Penberthy is actually owned by TYCO Flow Control, and is part of the TYCO Valves and Controls division. This has been since 2000. This past Monday...

We have just returned from a trip to Orlando and Walt Disney World. By asking a few questions, and proving that I do have an interest in Steam power (the Minnesota Hobby Boilers License helped do that), I was able to meet with the engineers of the Walt Disney Railroad and talk shop. I was able...

F-12 Farmall, color?? In the serial number of this tractor; does one of the numbers tell what color the tractor was painted from the factory? My Mom and aunts say that it was gray, but after dousing the sheet metal with WD-4O and a rain shower, I was seeing red in protected places ( under the...

Toy Steam engine Thank You. That will help out. Paul

I have just delivered a 1934 Farmall F-12, serial number - S12064, to my home in Lyndon, IL. It was owned by my Uncle Morris Ysen in Gary, Minnesota. My mother and her sisters have been going through all the papers in the house as they are working on taking care of the estate. They have not...

I have an old toy steam engine. It is an all brass construction,vertical boiler with a heating unit a person would fill with alcohol, much like the fancy buffet serving dishes of long ago. It was purchased by my late uncle when he was in his mid-teens. He passed away last year at 89yrs. old...

Church Pump Organ Mark; Thank you for the reply. When Charlene and I were in the Gary area from the 25th to the the 27th, we did stop at Rollag to visit and see what we have missed. We did stop last Sunday as we made our way back home. At that time, we were told of moisture problems at...

While in Gary, MN. last weekend, I was approached by a long time friend, resident of Gary, and member of the St. Petri Lutheran Church. His name is Alden Anderson. He has possession of the pump organ used at St. Petri from its purchase in the early 1900's to its retirement in the 1950's. It does...
