  1. Past hour
  2. Same thing here. I got quite a bit. Probably will start hoeing out and just keeping what I really need to keep what tractors I have running. Toss the rest in the truck and have a fire sale at the BS

    What to do with the parts no one wants?

    Take all the second rate parts and slap together a non-functional piece of yard art?? I have two rollers that will be done that way & sold.
  4. I've amassed a substantial parts collection. Probably enough to build another tractor. Unfortunately many of the parts are the ones that don't break much. I hate scrapping stuff, but I can't save it all. Thoughts? I had an ad up,but little interest and shipping is time consuming and expensive. Definitely need to clean out this year.

    That vertical part is standard. There is a hole on the rear right corner where you can add a ball stud.

    S/G Questions

    Not disagreeing with you, but what is the history here? Regulators are rugged but not invincible. I’d start with the regulator diagnostics in the documents above. One thing I look for is the “left” relay must close to switch from “starter” mode to “generator” mode (this one is not adjustable even on adjustable regulators). If it doesn’t close, then no charging--could be no juice from generator OR could be a regulator fault.

    S/G Questions

    The one point I don't think was closing but that's the point on the right side of the tractor and with the regulator connected it shows the same volts as disconnected which makes me thing that the s/g isn't putting out instead of the regulator being out of whack.

    Scale model building

    Years ago I read a magazine article about weathering certain aspects of a model. I've also seen other build articles mentioning the following trick... Scale model tires are molded just like most other parts. That process leaves lines and dots. Real tires obviously don't have either so to increase realism I remove them. Sanding works. But this rotational tool method is neat too. I'll be switching to a more powerful drill but the pics show the idea. On the rear section, one of the many modifications to this trailer is to move the entire rear suspension back several scale feet. On the full sized trailers the back tires were actually setting past the back of the tank body. To help strengthen the model as a whole I decided to add a plate between the suspension frame and tanker body. I used black sheet styrene cut to fit. The sheet styrene adds to the total glued area by having the cross members involved all the way across. Same basic idea for the landing gear. I widened it and set it on a similar plate. After painting it'll look like a standard full sized trailer modification done by a cheap boss looking for a strong functional piece that didn't have to be sent out to a fabrication company. The landing wheel's axle was actually broken in the kit so I figured, what better place to add the wider section. To create the addition my intention was to add a piece of tube styrene over the axle.... but it hasn't arrived yet. Could I wait? Absolutely. Would a real world company wait? No. So I made a repair addition section by slicing (carefully) a piece of C channel into an angle. Glued the whole assembly together. When dry, I'll paint it and install the assembly.

    Sunstrand Foot Control

    This is the sunstrand rocker. I guess if you put a ball end pin in the back of the eaton rocker you could get the vertical motion you need. I don't see it the picture oh Matts part above. Also not sure the pivot points are in the same location.

    S/G Questions

    Instead of checking the voltage at the battery with the regulator disconnected, check it at the regulator Leave the cap off the regulator, are the points closing after it starts?

    Yep. The putting back together, well, maybe not!

    Sunstrand Foot Control

    As you can see from @oliver2-44’s pictures, Matt’s kit took advantage of the existing rocker (Part #11 in this ’95 520-H IPL) by connecting his linkage in the same way that WH did with Part #52 from the column-mounted motion control lever. Parts 7-10 and 12-17 comprise the link between the #11 rocker and the Eaton motion control lever atop the transaxle. The rocker supplies “fore and aft” motion to the link. I haven’t seen details (either in person or on an IPL) of how the rocker translates control input motion to the vertical motion that the Sunstrands require.

    Happy Pi Day!

    Strawberry Rhubarb from the Mennonite store down the street. Chilled and with a scoop of Vanilla! @Jrblanke caught wind of this thread and as late longtime Indy 500 track announcer Tom Carnegie would say: " HHHEEEEE'SSSSS ON IT!!!!"
