 Topic: Some More Progress On the One-Sixty
Posted: 26 Sep 2018 at 9:05pm |
Progress has slowed down some due to work and a couple of other projects but it's getting there. I went with a modern terminal block to allow for the extra wiring for the lights. It keeps the wiring neat and it's not a change that will draw much attention unless the hood is up.

That's actually the factory seat frame. I still have to bolt on the seat pan on it.

Pictures can be deceiving. There's a fair amount of clutter in the shop. It's just not in view of the camera.  |

New rubber all around. Flashy Orange against some Black & Creme colors! Congrats on an awesome One-Sixty project. Thanks for sharing photos. I've never been around one. I understand they're Perkins powered Renault tractors with AC One-Seventy sheet metal. I see the hinges on frame in front of battery. So does the hood-grill hinge forward? Here's your April link at start of project. God Blessed you with much talent. You've accomplished a lot! https://www.allischalmers.com/forum/my-uncles-onesixty-restoration-update-042318_topic145035.html

Nice looking job. Did you have to replace your fuel gauge sender? If so, where did you get the appropriate unit?
Keep the pictures coming!

Very nice job Flyer! My next door neighbor had a 160. I used it a couple of times with scrape blade and bush hog. Plenty of power and great on fuel. Fairly comfortable. Was sold new right here in Elberton from Savannah valley gas co. They were the local AC dealer. Like the compressor control panel. That looks like a Kloeckner Moeller controller. I still have one of those lying in the top of the toolbox if I ever run into a project for it. Most of the stuff I deal with at work is Allen Bradley, with limited experience, mostly bad, with Siemens. Lets just say a Siemens servo drive setup wasn't optimal for an overhead crane system. Especially when they tried to use encoders when the drive wheels were steel and running on steel rails.

What primer/paint did you use?
The 160 hood does flip up on those hinges.

Thanks all for the words of encouragement.
My friend with the shop is responsible for the nice paint job. We're using PPG Urethane paint. We've been debating about doing the hood and fenders in base/clear but are leaning toward a single stage paint right now.

Klockner Moeller is the actual manufacturer of that relay. Allen Bradley markets it as their Pico line and Eaton sells it as and EASY series relay. Pretty powerful little gadget for the price.

I had the sending unit rebuilt by a place that restores automotive instruments. It wasn't cheap but it's one of the many parts on this tractor that are made out of unobtainium.

So, the fuses for that were the euro style like a Volkswagen.Did you convert, or are you keeping them? I believe they were under the hood under the dash. Maybe I would upgrade that to a block of mini fuses available at any local auto parts store. Yes, I know the euro fuses are still available as well. The new mini block just looks nice....

I took a closer look. see you have relays, as well as a nice jumper set for common power on the terminal strip. Very nice work with the wiring! Good showcase of your talents. Some do good mechanical work, others are good with tin, still others excel at paint. A few of us care about the wires. Most of us just want it to do what it did when it was new. You are taking it to the next level.
