If I even remotely enjoyed painting I would restore it. So I have found its better not to try and restore anything because it will mostly end up as a pile of parts in the corner.... and all my corners are already full!
Again a great and very informative video ! Thanks for posting. You have so much luck that you always got the complete paperwork with your machines. A really nice to have ! Greets !
man paperwork makes it whole, unfortunately I never get paperwork with my tractors. this s looks to be a well kept machine and very cool indeed,don't know if checked out my videos but my last two are of other than green. looking forward to more of this tractor,thanks
You always have great videos!!! Very informative!! And I like your attitude " I wanted it so I bought it" hahahaha that's awesome. I could have picked one up here in Utah this last
That's not usually the case of the steering coming loose. It's because of the vibrations. My father had this problem. He had simply welded the bracket to the frame and it never loosened again.
Very cool tractor!! I have seen a bunch of them around and always thought they looked rugged. You should be able to run the serial number on the engine to get a build date on at least that. Thanks for sharing
I was planning on digging deeper with the serial number. I really need to take some time and dig through the rest of that paperwork to see if there is any other info on the machine.
Look around the engine. There is a somewhat of a rounded square casing that you will find, that's whare your points and condenser is at. Or, trace the wire going from the coil down, then you'll find your points. When you set your points, you'll need a feeler gauge to set the points with as they open and close creating an electronic spark sent to the wire attaching the spark plug. A lot of guys out there use a matchbook cover to set the points with, everybody has a preference, I prefer a feeler gauge over a matchbook cover. No matter, as long as the points are set approprately, and it runs, then your all set, she'll run for you.
I might just have your power king, was there shoelaces tied to parts of it to hold parts of it up? If That’s what you used to hold the parts of the bottom then I have your tractor well at least your grandfather’s old one
The model number itself provides the size of the rear tires. For example, 1614 means 16 inch rear tires, 14 horsepower engine. 1612, 16 inch rear tires, 12 horsepower engine. 1624 16 inch rear tires, 24 horsepower engine.
They don't have oil filters. Just drain the oil out of the crankcase, put your plug back in, and refill to the level. Your all set. I own two of these, love both of them very, very much. 1973 and 1974 medal bodied tractors.
Those are the brakes that kinda work! Haha. I try and respond to comments I see when I have time to respond to them. Sometimes I don’t see comments, or sometimes I just don’t have a response. Haha
