    Blue wheel horse?

    Can keep it blue too if you are fond of it. Only rule is no john deere green. But Red really is the best color for a tractor. If you rattle can it, the common color a lot of us use is Rust-Oleum Regal Red, can also use IH red.

    1985/6 312-8 Battery charging system

    On my '86 312-8 I had to charge the battery from time to time, then again it wasn't the best battery in the world.

    The electrical section describes how to check the 3 amp charging system.

    We are using a P218 with about 775 hours. At about 700 hours, it got serviced with: thorough cleaning under the shrouds and the cooling fins, de-carboning the combustion chambers, adjusting the valves, carb cleaning (3 times!), filter and oil change, air filter, new spark plugs, and gaskets. Subsequently, I have replaced the muffler as well. I am confident that with continued regular maintenance and regular operation that we’ll get to 1,500 or more hours. Nous utilisons un P218 avec environ 775 heures. À environ 700 heures, il a été entretenu avec : un nettoyage en profondeur sous les caintreaux et les ailettes de refroidissement, la décarbonisation des chambres de combustion, le réglage des soupapes, le nettoyage des carburateurs (3 fois !), le filtre et le changement d'huile, le filtre à air, de nouvelles bougies d'allumage et les joints. Par la suite, j'ai également remplacé le silencieux. Je suis convaincu qu'avec un entretien régulier et un fonctionnement réguliers, nous atteindrons 1 500 heures ou plus.

    Blue wheel horse?

    Originally it was red, someone has slapped that blue on it for unkown reasons. Easily made red again though.

    The 3 amp system on my 310-8 works just fine....

    Here’s a mugshot from last year’s show on my 312-8. I set up my blue canopy just across the gravel road from the Hospitality Center.

    Blue wheel horse?

    Hi. Im very new to the community and very new to these incredibly awesome tractors. Hopefully my inexperience doesn't make me look dumb, but i have found this 654 Wheel Horse. I plan on going to look at it this weekend if its still available. My biggest question is, why is it blue? To me, it looks like a fun project but I dont want to get elbow deep into something that isn't, or perhaps never was. Thanks!

    Ok. YOU are the Executive Producer. I’ll put the camera and tripod on my packing list. Fair warning, though, when in photog mode I put on my “Director” hat. 🫨🎬

    1985/6 312-8 Battery charging system

    This engine must be up to at least 2200 RPM to get the voltage up high enough to charge the battery. The low (3 amp) current assures that the battery doesn’t cook. Also, since the lighting line is AC, any directly-connected DC-needing LED lights will likely flicker. Incandescent filaments work ok on AC. That said, since they draw much less current than incandescents, directly connecting a pair of LED headlights (with proper polarity) to the battery should be ok as long as you keep the engine revs up.

    Are you ready to take the pictures? All we need is a willing photographer with a good camera and a bit of cooperation from the weather.

    Kevin, I know you have a well deserved reputation for being an accident looking for a place to happen, BUT do you need five wheel chairs?

    1985/6 312-8 Battery charging system

    If the Spec Number on your engine is 47812 or 47828 there is no voltage regulator. The engine has two electrical leads, one is a 3 Amp line with a small diode in it that serves as a battery charging system and the other wire is AC and supplies power for the lights. Not the best system in the world but that is what they went to after Cecile Pond sold the company to the bean counters.
