Rusty Crude Oil Tractor// Part 5. Make it look and work like a tractor again. 

Me too! Thank's /Richard

Hehe, never ever 😁 /Richard

Haha kind of 😁 Much of the parts were just fitted with one bolt to prevent them from being lost.

Hi! I hope you will find it interesting! /Richard.

Hi and welcome 😊

Thank's! I have actuallt bought that used one just to fit the shape och the rest of the tractor. There are new available in chinese rubber that lasts one year.. The tractor always sits inside. But yes, if i would leave it outside in the rain it would pour a lot of water down there for sure. /Richard

I admire your talent and expertise with old motors.

Welcome! 😊

A big Thanks! Glad you like it. Motivation like this makes new videos 😊

@@YesterdaysMachinery If it helps as well, for every hateful and mean comment left by complete strangers, there are more then a thousand people who genuinely enjoy what you do, even if they don't say anything. Your welcome!

Alaska would be fun to visit some time. /Richard

Hi! Yes the electrical will be fixed. But there is no parts available. This is a early rare model with the old type of headlights that is almost impossible to find. I have one that is totally rusted away, but you can still see the shape of the housing so i think making a new one from scratch is my only chance. Same thing with the glow-plugs. This is very thick big plugs that is supposed to be heated for 2 minutes before start and for 30 sec again when the engine is running. And there are no new made. But i have a friend that actually have drawings and data on the plugs. He have made a couple himself with good results, so i will give it a try to make a pair. And then the electric harnes should be in a protective steel-tube and etc. And everything is rusted away. And i do not want to put anything on there that ain't original or very close. So it will take some time to find all the parts that the tractor deserves. /Richard

No, if this tractor was painted now it would loose its value. I personally hate re-painted engines and tractors. Original is original just once.

As all steel panels on it are in such good condition it deserves to get properly painted in the right colours! Also, if it then is started and 'used' it will quickly get patina again from burnt paint and minor oil stains. But its yours to decide on whats best for it 😉

@@thatdudeinorange2297 I understand people that likes new painted things to, but i woult not paint a vintage tractor like this original one even if someone paid me 10 grand for the job. The soul is then gone, and you just have a beautiful old girl hidden under a layer of fake make up. And here in sweden this tractor as it is now would cost between 3-4000$dollars. If painted around the same, maybe a little less. But i understund people that likes painted also :) But I and most others here in sweden likes it original, and it only is original once. Regards/ Richard.

Crankcase compression two-stroke engines with a check valve in place of the reed came out in 1889, and the reed was a simplification of the original ball-type check valve, seemingly in service by the early 1900s, but as early as 1891 there were true valveless two-stroke engines, where the piston skirt acted as the crankcase intake valve (many modern 2-stroke gasoline engines use this valving instead of a reed).

@@SilntObsvr Thank you. Now I know.

Ye i know. I have to find me a Mic.

LOL, it also sounds like an old 250 4 stroke quad we had.

Tack 😊😊 /Richard
