Mister I can appreciate the incredible amount of planning, thought, labor and money it takes to pull something like this off. You have done s superb job and may freely give yourself a huge PAT ON THE BACK!
Back tires on wrong side......engine tin work is a must.....or it will over heat.....your doing an awesome job.....working with what you have......awesome......you mite like an old Wisconsin engine for that......way more torque.....for example.....a 12.5 hp Wisconsin......257 foot pounds of torque.
When you put your rear tires on you need to switch them side to side so when you look at the lugs the arrow formed is pointing forward when you look at the top of the tire, self cleaning function !!!
Very good vid. Question. I'm rebuilding my clutch. The transmission shaft that goes through the hole in the clutch and oil seal. When you had that apart did you have any wiggle in the transmission shaft before you slid it in to the clutch hole and oil seal? I noticed I can wiggle it a little and didn't know if that was normal. Hopefully someone can answer my question. Ken from Indiana
Torches and air or a wet rag and you can shrink the metal as you work out the dents with a hammer and dolly. You would be surprised how straight you can get the metal
When I was starting this rebuild, I had crappy vids to watch. Real short and not very specific. Ive never seen this tractor before so had nothing to go off of. This might be long and boring to some, but im sure someone will appreciate the details.. Thanks
Guys, NAPA carries the coil and I think the points kit too. If you use a car coil, you need a ballast resistor in line to feed it (drops the current down so the points live).
No engine? 15 hundred dollars, no way. Especially without an engine. Off the guy about 300 dollars tops for it, as all it is, is a dead hulk and will need an engine for it, and engines don't come cheap. Stay away from chineese engines though, you live in the United States, not china.
