D15 digging post holes. Been using the tractor. Maybe one day I'll paint the sheet metal... :)
I got to give credit to Rick's clutch. The post hole digger would catch roots and suck down then stall the tractor. That clutch never slipped. He asked, when I sent my clutch to him, if it was a show tractor or work tractor. I'm glad I told him it'd be working.

Perhaps the 'exhaust manifold stud' goes in to the water jacket,
therefore the threads would require a thread sealant during assembly.

Did you try a Stop Leak product? The best was Bars All, I think that was the name, it was brown liquid with what looked like brown capsule in it.

That spray works great. But I would also replace the old head bolts if I pulled the head to fix it. My d15 with a 160 gas engine did the same thing and when I tried to torque the head bolts one snapped off. I don't remember what bolts I got but there is a posting about 2 years ago here in my name about it if you search you can probably find it. That spray does require that you put it on a clean gasket to work.

Hey guys. Having an issue with the d15. There is a small coolant leak at the front of the engine. I have warmed the engine and given a little more torque a couple of times and that doesn't seem to be helping the leak. I'm thinking about pulling the head, getting a new gasket but using this copper spray a gasket stuff when I install it? Any first hand experience on this from you all? I also have a couple of gaskets that are leaking I thought about replacing with this stuff. The side PTO cover plate leaks as well as the side transmission cover plate has always leaked a little. Thanks Robert

Boy, that 0 hour tach tells it all - 'cause this is a brand new tractor now! I and others are amazed at the quality of your work. This will be a tractor your great - grandkids will still be driving around!
What a legacy you will have - for now, and for generations to come - plus a heck of a story!

Got a few things done a couple weeks back and haven't had a chance to post. Seats on, gauges in and all hooked up and working, new wiring harness.
I bought a new voltage regulator. It's 12 volt but it has an extra wire mount labeled "L" in addition to GEN, F and BAT. Doesn't quite fit the original wiring harness. But it seems to be working. The GEN mount is on top now and I have to stretch the wire around to attach to it. Are the L and GEN interchangeable?
Almost had a situation on the temp gauge. The reducer in the head needs changed out as the aftermarket is different threads. Mine was nearly welded in. As my breaker bar snapped the hex head off the reducer I was thinking back to a year or so ago when I had the head off and I was telling my self to pull that reducer off. Luckily some heat from my torch and welded rod I was able to take it out.

I had to soak mine upside down for a while as well. The whole engine was a solid block of rust.

Thanks gents. I have the seat pads. Next week will hopefully be wiring and gauges.
AC720 on that engine I believe the wrist pins were so seized I couldn't budge anything. Hindsight I should have turned it upside down and soaked it for a while.

Kroil is a wonderful product that I have had good luck loosening stuck engines. I would remove the head, with no antifreeze, its possible head gasket issue. Great thing about the power crator engine is the fluid will settle in the piston and the rest will eventually slip past the rings into the oil pan. Limiting damage. My brothers 190xtd is a perfect example. Soaked in Kroil after we pulled the head, found water in cylinders 3,4. Poppped the starter out and a gentle bump with the crow bar on the flywheel broke her loose. She runs beautiful now. Just a blown head gasket, some TLC, and his cheap tractor is worth 3 times what he paid for it. D15 is an incrediable little tractor. Dad's has 2376 hours on it. I repainted it 4 years ago and it was a cherry then. He bought it new in '68. Good luck and so glad your fixing her up but please take your time, nothing worse than rushing and becoming frustrated.

Robert,
Wondered how things were going. You have been busy! The battery box rebuild looks very good! Your down in the details and making good progress. Have a priority checklist and keep working on it. Some days are better than others. That seat frame rebuild looks awesome! I can see some parades or tractor shows in your future in 2017!
Regards,
Chris

Thanks Chris!
Nother update. Redid the battery box by bending up a new base and then also the side bumper. Cleaned up the box and spot welded it all together. I had to assemble some of the tractor sheet metal to get the box lined up correctly. Also finishing up the seat.

Nice weld repairs on the seat support! Good fix! Will be good for another 60 years maybe longer since it probably wont get the work that it did before!

Chris

Hello, Very warm here in OK so I've been able to paint. Working on the seat. You can see in the first pic the top seat link the bushings fell out years ago and the rod was wearing on the link. To fix it I used .875 OD/.75 ID tubing cut 3/8 long and welded them in. (edit, make sure you put a 3/4 bar thru to keep the plugs in line.)

The nipple is just a piece of like 5/16 (total guess) or something little stud that was riveted to the lever that popped through the holes in the quadrant for the raise and lower. I still had the stud but it was really worn down so I just built it up a bit with a welder so that it would stay in those windows when selected.

Thanks dseries4. I do have that spring and it needs replaced. But the spring went on the underside of lever. This nipple fits into the plate above and i think that's the only thing that ocks the lever into position.
