 Topic: "Fairly decent" B project.
Posted: 09 Apr 2012 at 7:45pm |
So I have a little time and a lot of junk. I have taken a fairly decent engine that uses a little oil from a parts C, a fairly decent manifold and gasket from another parts B, along with various parts from different "donors", and am attempting to build a "fairly decent" tractor without spending any additional money other than what I previously spent for the donor tractors. Just doing it to see if I can.
Who thinks it'll run "fairly decent"?
Who thinks it'll run "fairly bad"?
Who thinks i'm wasting time on a pile of worn out parts?

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

I think it will come out just fine, and you will have fun doing it!

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

I think it's gonna work too. Looking forward to getting back on it. I have the engine in place, manifold, governor assembly, and a "rehabbed" starter mounted on it. Got a carb soaking and parts from another one to make one good one. Have to get a mag together, and ill be ready to see if it's gonna make noise.
Then it'll be a question of whether I can find a radiator and a fuel tank that will keep the water and fuel on the inside. Also have a few water pumps to try. I think one might be OK. If not, can you replace the seals in those?
