Hi Board!
Weather and time now permit renewed work on my 1929 McCormick Deering 22-36. I think it will now run, but I don't want to start it without a belt on the fan and water pump. I have tried several belts, but can't seem to come up with a size that will work. It looks as if a 1" x 63" is correct, but I can't find one.

Also, a previous post spoke of changing gear oil in the transmision. They said their's was thick as honey. I checked mine, and found it to be the same...black as night and as thick, or thicker than honey. I drained and saved it. Some of the last of it even had the appearance of sludge with a small ammount of fine metal flakes in it, but no appearant water contamination. The small ammount of metal flakes don't bother me too much, as I expect there would be some from normal wear. My manual mentions saybolt viscosity between 140-150/sec. I don't understand how this relates to gear oil weight. Is it a bad idea to change gear oil? I've heard of some applications that say never to change gear oil.

I don't intend to work it real hard... perhaps pull a three bottom at my neighbors plowing bee. Is 80-90 weight ok for light work loads?

Thanks,
Good idea about the magnets in the gear "grease". Old rigs lack the modern machine engineering that allows for reduced viscosity gear "oil". That may well be a very important distinction... that of oil and grease. I can imagine the importance of keeping a highly viscous curtain of grease flowing over everything in that large gear case. My manual suggests approximate capacity at 12 gal. I collected about 10 gal. If I get some of the fillings out, I will likely loose another gal or so. I don't think 2 or 3 gal. of new oil would dilute it too much. I might even find some 150 wt gear grease and not dilute it at all.
Thanks for your thoughts, and I will contact Rice and see what they have to say about a belt.

you can probably buy a belt from rice equipment or weber tractor works. both on the net. crazy as it sounds, i would keep the old oil. can strain it. thicker, like mud. 80-90 is alot thinner. i did in my w30.

Throw a magnet into the can of gear grease and let it settle a few days. Move the can around every day to let all the filings pass near the magnet. Pour the grease back into the gear case slowly and leave a couple of quarts in the can with the magnet. Top the gear case off with new gear oil.
