Wanna build a black hood...
kpinnc replied to kpinnc's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
My wife says this too, but she's usually trying to get me to shut up! Yeah I really think my welds are free of any pinhole, but tubes make new tires so much easier to install. I didn't use them up front and it was much more work on such wide tires. -

265-6/72045 starting issues
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to Snelly1985's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
The clicking you hear may be the hour meter running. The two switches should be the neutral switch and the brake switch - they may be the same part number. Wondering if you don't have grounding issues. The (-) battery cable should go to the engine block as well a a small gauge wire which grounds the rest of the system. If in doubt add more grounds. You should never see any voltage on a black wire. If you do it is not grounded or has a poor ground connection. To test hook test light to negative battery post and probe for voltage at the black wire terminals as you apply power to a circuit. You will never get power out of the small solenoid terminals. The solenoid is just a heavy duty relay. When the green wire applies power from the start circuit the magnetic coil is energized as long as the other small terminal black wire is grounded it will close the big contacts joining the (+) battery cable to the starter cable - motor runs. If you have voltage at the small black solenoid wire in start key position that black wire is not grounded as it should be. You did download the 5-page wiring diagrams? Keep the questions coming. -

@kpinnc I was going to ask earlier if you intended to use tubes on the rear but as usual, you answer without the need. -

Man you are making some progress! Long ways to go yet I'm sure, but looking good! -
I like the GT1600 for being different but my go to tractors always seem to be the 520. I have an older straight axle that I use for mowing and the 520HC gets plow duty. For the most part all the rest just get driven once in a while just for the fun of it. Once I get a hood on the 416 it may get used more. The Kohler powered rigs start up and run fine but the smoothness of the twins makes me prefer to drive them.

C'mon Don that rear fender decal is buggin me. And a rear reflector. You know better than that. @c-series don
-
Make sure the donut is secure on the shifter. Some are welded and some are pinned.

VERY nice. For my 50th Birthday 18 years ago my significant other presented me a 1953 butterscotch blond with black pick guard Tele reissue and a VOX Valvetronc amp. Great AXE . @fenderteleman

Yeah that was a real kick in the @$$ ...

Beautiful collection @cleat I admire the condition of all of your tractors. I’m hoping to get all of mine out for a few photos sometime this year.

I own 4 Telecasters, My 1970, I have a Roadworn Telecaster Deluxe & a Roadworn 60's Telecaster. BTW the Roadworn Series Teleasters are very good guitars, nitrocelluloselaquer on tbem. I also have a Ventera II Thinline. Thank you for asking.

Decal Placement
c-series don replied to Easton Rich's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Here is my original C-101 decal placement is the same as the 161. Sometimes people put the hood decals on backwards, drives me crazy!! The transmission oil decal goes under the seat on the seat pan -
Sorry Jack, that'll probably be the last one to go.

Well, I'm back again with the same issues. I just don't know what I'm missing. I feel like I'm further away than I was when I first started working on it. I don't hear a click at the solenoid when I turn on the switch. What makes things confusing to me, is that there is no power to the starter motor when the key is off, but as soon as I turn it to the first "on" position(lights), the starter gets full voltage. The 2nd position retains this voltage, and the "start" position still shows full voltage to the starter. Personally, I didn't think I should be getting power to the starter until I had the key turned all the way to the start position, so that caught me by surprise. Based on the schematic, the power completes the loop through the safety switch circuit with full voltage as well with everything jumpered out. All fuses are good as well. The harness that leaves the engine block shows power back to the underside of the "console" where I can't follow any further without tearing it completely down. At this point, I've replaced both relays, all fuses, ignition switch, 4 solenoids, PTO switch, and the rectifier. At this point, my only uncertainty comes from the "neutral" safety switch because the schematic shows 1 of them, but I pulled 2 out of it. Does that make sense? Is there something I'm missing there? My other question is that I don't understand the purpose/functionality of the 2 small terminals on the solenoid. I never see any "juice" out of either of them. I saw note online that said a simple test to determine if it was a solenoid issue or a safety issue, was to run a test wire from the battery negative to the small terminal on the same side of the solenoid as the power wire to the starter and try the key. If it starts, there is a safety switch issue. If it doesn't start, it is likely the solenoid being faulty. Since it is new, and I put it on and performed the test prior to any other tinkering, I can't imagine it is still a solenoid issue. Another puzzling find, is that VERY occasionally, when the switch is turned to at least the first on position, I'll sometimes hear a repeating and low volume clicking...almost like I'm hearing the ticking of a clock, but occurs what seems to be 5 seconds or so apart each time. When I most recently heard it, I immediately tried to crank it over, thinking that there was a shorting connection and that it would attempt to start, but I get absolutely nothing. Battery remains at 12.8 at all times, even after sitting for a few days. I love this tractor, but I don't know how much more I can take before I push it off a cliff!☺ Please help, if you can. Thanks in advance.

Mounted the first rear tire just for giggles. The inside of the wheel was primed and painted but still gotta finish the outside. These things are rather knobby! Used a tube just in case. And a boat load of talcum powder. If it pops there will be a white dust cloud. But it really makes the entire process of mounting the tire and tube so much better. Also there is a comparison of front and rear tire size in the last two pics. I really like this set of tires! -
Best way to clean the baked on looking grime off the tractor and engine?
bo dawg replied to bo dawg's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Well got most the baked on crud off the frame and tins. Washed the wheels up, although they will need painted later. Cleaned up the corrosion on it. I didn’t get underneath the tractor as much but that will be a later day. At least I can see the red color, could tell it before. Lol! Waiting on my new shifter boot cover before I put all back together. Think I’m gona paint the foot rest cause they are petty ugly. Gotta find some non slip pads to put on them. -
Definitely tire irons for helping slip the tire off of and then back onto a rim. Being plastic, they can slide along the rim with little risk of damaging it. The square notches at the near end are for adjusting the spokes on bicycle wheels!

Unfortunately, they are all JUNK.

Buy 2 or 3 large YETI 's and stack them in the kitchen with BLOCK ice. Problem solved. Cut's down on the CMP bill as well.

Its been a few years back but I went through several "new" tubes that were bad but have had pretty good luck since then. All the bad ones came from local tire shop, so I decided to start ordering my own and that's when my luck turned around.
