Very nice. You would fit in well with our crossTexas tractor wrangling trips

I think it’s a late 1980, has the Eaton and not the Sundstrand. Pretty beat when I rolled in tonight. Tomorrow when I unload I’ll get the specs

I can see you wanted that one pretty bad huh?

Is there anything on here about repair work on the decks? Like rebuilds, or weld/patch work on the shells? Just curious how others might perform tasks thats needed to keep these old thing still functional. Point at hand..... I need to weld up a hole in the corner of the deck and would like to see how others go about it. Ive done a couple others that were smaller but this one is larger and right in the crown of the corner.

A few weeks ago now, but I heard the magic words: “No, you don’t need a new prescription." Haven’t had the borescope out for a while, but the grandchildren are fascinated with it. They scope under and/or behind all the furniture and beds, occasionally finding interesting stuff. They’re allowed to look in certain closets and the pantry, too. Keeps ‘em busy for at least an hour or so.

The short time I've been here the community is already awesome, has me really fired up to work on the wheelhorse, the next couple days I'll have some updates, when I get a few minutes to work on some stuff. What is your guys go to source for voltage regulators? Mine is the style with the little wire coming out the bottom, it works for now but the one if the contacts is pretty burned and I think I'll just get a new one for when we get that far.

I do, but I'm afraid the hydraulics won't work if I fix the carb.🤣

S*%t happens

For several weeks I've been poking around online at cameras. I could really use one for the K582 on Colossus. The (!^#&$*#*!% mice have been around the engine. .... perhaps IN there..??

I love it when a plan comes together.

@WHX?? Steering wheel says long frame '67. Only models with that wheel were 953/1054 and 66 - 67 longs. Might find a very early 68 Raider with one. BTW those steering wheels are hen's Big battery box is pointing to a 10 or 1257. @gwest_ca Tag location @ebinmaine Tag location Ok, you guys, I like my crow cooked thoroughly cooked since I must EAT CROW. I was looking for tag too low on tower. It is riveted on just under bottom edge as told. It was heavily painted but steel wooled and brass brushed to as close to visible as could get. I found no, none, only shadow of engine tag. Starter appears off case as yellow paint. And now for rest of the story, it appears to read 1257 on tag. Thanks you guys and all the rest that helped. I learned a lesson for sure!!!

They're super handy. I have an old rigid-tube borescope that I bought at a military surplus sale years ago, but there are a lot of situations where I haven't been able to use the rigid kind...and it doesn't take photos. This one should be much more useful. The instructions are 'fair,' considering the cheap price, but you have to read them over a few times to answer all of your questions, such as 'How do I change from the end camera to the side camera?' (long push on the nearly invisible little button on the LED controller on the cable), etc.

I've been considering one of those. Time to order...

Maybe this should be in Tools, but it's what I did today. I was just trying out my newly-acquired cheap borescope from Vevor. It plugs in to my iPhone, has both end-view and side-view cameras, variable LED lighting, and takes videos and still images. IIRC, the resolution is 1920 x 1440. Considering the low price (about 24 bucks and free shipping), I was quite satisfied with the image quality from both cameras. Here's a view from the side camera, looking underneath the throttle linkage assembly of my 522xi. Here I'm taking a photo of the fine print on a candy tin: Image of the tin from the end camera. The halftone dots in the printed image show up pretty clearly. Image from the side camera: The video resolution is just as good. The frame rate seems a bit slow to me, but for its purpose it's very usable and clear. There's also a little hook and a magnet that you can attach to the end of the camera for retrieving objects.

Start at the fuel tank all the way to the carb. Check the pick up in the tank for clogged & the fuel filter. Cap vent open? Petcock open? ... hey it happens. Consider replacing fuel line if questionable. Next would be the fuel pump. Disconnect the line at the carb and see if it quirts in a little cup. if you have fuel to the carb only thing left might be the carb itself. Stuck float or just plain dirty.

Detailed electrical schematic for 1972 GT – 14 tractor
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to Mike.s's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Believe this would have been the original switch. Click on the picture for more. The engine would be K321S-60149A Sorry we do not have an original wiring diagram but other models at the time may be similar. -
Just had my annual eye exam. I've been developing a very small cataract in one eye, but it's far from large enough to merit removal. Like you, I'm planning to order some prescription safety glasses with removable side pieces. I think I'll check online to see if I can save some money. I just ordered two sets of lenses for two of my existing frames from the local optician, and after adding in the high-diffraction (thinner) polycarbonate lenses, progressive prescription, hard coating, anti-reflective coating, and polarizing for the sunglasses, it took me a while to get over the sticker shock. Insurance took a bite out of it, or maybe just a nibble would be more accurate.

I’m having trouble getting the fuel pump to pick up. The tractor will fire if I put fuel in the carb. Witch is slightly difficult lol
-
What year Mike?

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Blue Chips replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I have a 1953 Ford NAA (Golden Jubilee) tractor, and if I didn't have so many other projects going on, I'd consider doing a Ford flathead V8 conversion. There have been a number of kits available over the years for that conversion, starting, I believe, with the Funk Aircraft Company conversion kit in the 1940s for the 9N, 2N, 8N, and later the NAA and others. It would be a fun project, and who doesn't like overpowered tractors? And I've always had a soft spot for Ford/Mercury flathead V8s.
