Custom Headlight Assembly
"Manic-Mechanic" posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I had a factory set on a 1277 so these are from memory, “might be a bit different!” (Standard 12v tractor lights) Used a knuckle, that’s what I call it, on the end of a 30” x 5/8” steel rod, drilled tapped 3/8-16 utilizing a stud and cap nut. Two wire assembly to assure a solid ground Crimp on connection for hassle free hood removal There’s two 3/8-16 bolted to a threaded rectangular plate between the frame, mimicking factory Closer look at the stainless hardware, that is a metric thread in the knuckle, (euro part) The soft bend sweeps buy the cradle front tightly, has to be just so, plumb to clear I preferred the standard 12v light assembly with options to twist in all directions, do not care for the little bug eye looking factory assemblies! The 5/8 hot rolled steel can be formed quite easily by hand just make identical measurements on both sides. Basic & simple -
Scale model building
MainelyWheelhorse replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
@ebinmaine As far as the piping setup, you may be able to find it resin cast online. I’ve heard of kits to change square body grilles, 60’s Camaros to the same year Firebirds etc.. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are kits to change a more generic tanker to a Heil from a specific time period. -

One like these?? Complete with baffles. I tend to run mine a little tall, keeps the fumes out of me face. -
I college I took me a hot minute to figure out my path. Both folks had certificates a plenty and very intelligent. First and last gen Bachelors. No kids here. One of My professors myself and A beautiful gal named passed a poly telling bull crockery. It was in a criminal Justice class (worked towards that for 2 years) I am certain if it was high stakes and you were in the wrong it would be caught. we lied about things like age, address, and the like. No actual "crime" just a demonstration. Chinese American professor pulled 6 of 28 and decided to flub. We thought we were super duper smart then till he told us nothing is a stake.

Usually start plants in the little greenhouse mid January and plant taters mid February. All cold season is in the ground and not happy. (started new a few weeks ago) glad I didn't plant greenhouse warm season. That would have been a disaster. I don't have that many mini sweatshirts

Smokers... Smoking....... Smoked meat.. Way too cold here on the frozen tundra for that. I have 2 offset smokers, sorry no pics of them. I never had a pellet smoker and not sure if I even want one. I have heard that they have that issue. I know my old pellet stove does tend to overload the pot at times. And c-series don? That is a nice offset. Too bad you have such dirty smoke. I do also have an electric can smoker, which I have battled with a couple times,, . I have not been very impressed with it. I should do some and try it again when it gets warm outside. Either way, I can't wait to smoke

I found these guys the other day playing around. Sounds really good.
- Today

416 decals ready to apply. Tractor ready for 416 decals to be applied. 416 decals applied. Same procedure with the wetting and squeegeeing as used on the fender decal. Tractor as of now.

Sobering reminders that today isn’t a guarantee of tomorrow. Butch and those who are feeling his loss will be in my prayers today.

Used a TSC Cub muffler on Clyde, the C-195. I've since added a brace. -

I had this one on a tractor before I knew any better. Just didn't like the looks. Now Jim Kemp's a different story. Only other one i would even consider is the Cub. Well maybe one of @Achtos homemade ones. Thems off the hook. -
Interesting to me that such attention is paid to something so inaccurate. But then, a baseball lifetime batting average of .350 would get you into the Hall of Fame.

That is a shame. Hope I am part of 90%

Happy Happy Maz

Keep your hopes up. Phil has only been correct about 35% over the last 10 years.

Looks good. I've got a similar situation that I need to get to this year. Won't be until May or June, though. What gage flux core wire did you use?

We tried it once... we let the magic smoke out...

There's some Red Square folks lurking around up der in da nord curdland that may be candidates for this new fangled machine... @Achto @WHX?? -
Thanks guys. Those were my thoughts excactly. I did that before I even tried starting it. No dmage at all. I thought for sure it would show up on the piston or on the head. But, Lucky for me? Just some little nicks in the carbon that was there. I cleaned all that up, lapped and set the valves. Good compression test. I mean seriously. I guess these Kohlers can"EAT" a little brass and spit it out like it just doesn't care. I just know I cannot save this carburetor.

What goes in must come out. That could be with or without incident. As Don said, pull the head. Cycle the engine over by hand to look for damage, You may find the loose fiddeley-bits inside the muffler....

what seat is a direct repalacment fo c 141 ? thanks

How clean does it need to be before the oil? What method used?
-
Correct me if I'm wrong here.. That appears to be filled from the ground? The ones my father pulled were all loaded from the top. You can see the hatch in other pics above. IIRC he would/ could watch the fuel meter for the amount but that's obviously not foolproof. At some point I need to come up with a generic style piping setup for the model. Tank to PTO & pump, then to ground...
