Been monitoring the battery voltage on this vehicle for the past couple of months. It is now at 14.4 volts when running and drops down to 12.3 or 12.4 when I shut it off. I keep forgetting to check the voltage before starting it, though. With warmer weather on its way, and if the voltage keeps looking good, I'll delay the purchase for a while.

I made a deal on this tractor today. A GC 1720 with FEL and backhoe. Also included a York type landscaping rake, a chain drag harrow, and a sizeable dual axle trailer (with a title!). He threw in some scaffolding sections that were on the trailer as well. Pictures tomorrow.

Learning the ins and outs of S/Gs, including how the electro/mechanical (i.e. NOT electronic) voltage regulators work, gives one a deep appreciation for clever engineering.
-
Yes, there is. Oh, you probably want to know where and how to adjust it, too. Under the seat through a hole in the fender, you’ll see a large hex head bolt positioned in the curved slot of a movable plate. The bolt holds a friction washer against the plate. Adjust the tightness there (and, of course, NO lubricants!)

thanks to @Sparky good eye I found a seller on flea bay selling seat for little less than $37 bucks but shippimg is almost $46 bucks. Little less than $83, not to bad but not too good either.. EDIT found another source for $53 shipped. Now that's more like it.

A team of students from our local university is spending their spring break and leaving Saturday for Burnsville, North Carolina to help with disaster relief from the flooding a couple of years ago. I lead the team last year but couldn't go this year. Beautiful country and horrible damage.
-
that sure looks like it @Sparky.
-
You are correct.

Happy birthday Achto!

@Streetrodchev so i'm looking at all these pics I got of this a$$ and which ones do i post.

Thank you for the Birthday wishes everyone. Happy to have made one more trip around the sun. Spent my day turning diesel into electricity, just like I do most any other day of the week. Came home to great meal and some R&R. Last Friday I got to hang out with my close friends for a great fish fry. Tomorrow I have plans to go to a concert with my lovely wife.

Or, this one... it is a large file. DELCO-REMY_SERVICE_BULLETIN.pdf

I've read piles of forums and spoken to zillions (give or take) of people. I've never heard of a non commercially installed foam that works right and stays in its correct form. It'd be neat if there was one.
-
I believe the expanding foam requires moisture from the air for it to cure. Sealing it inside a tyre would, I imagine, have the same effect as leaving it in the can🤔. Suppose you were to insert an amount of water, (as a catalyst) into the tyre before injecting the foam, would that work? I seem to remember reading the instructions recommending wetting the areas to facilitate adhesion and curing🤔

It's easy to quit tractoring. I've done it a thousand times.
-
Our forecast shows that the weather today was just a dress rehearsal for next week. March 12 to 14, 1993 western North Carolina had a "Storm of the Century, hope we don't have a repeat of that.

One of these manuals should have all the information you need. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q=delco&quick=1&type=downloads_file

Nice score !!

Wasn’t Weedeater the name on the Kmart mowers?
-
That will be interesting if foam works. My uncle used just regular homeowner foam in a couple of tires and it didn't cure inside and just made a mess.
-
I wish you all up north would close the door!--looking like it's gonna let cold air in. It's suppose to be in the upper teen come Monday morning here in SW Missouri. The Bradford Pears (dadgum no good tree) are blooming and my Redbud is beginning to show color. So far the fruit trees are still closed up. Buddy of mine in Des Moines, Iowa text a few days ago nightcrawlers were out on his sidewalk. I text back: Don't let them go to waste, there's a potential catfish in every one of them.

Happy Birthday Dan

Does anyone know what that seat came off of? It has decal on back that I believe says Weedeater, but not sure. It is all plastic with no cushion, very comfortable and easy to mount/dismount tractor. I wouldn't care to find another one like it. Another quick question: the motion control lever wants to creep back toward neutral while operating. Is there a friction adjustment somewhere? I haven't had a chance to check it out yet and thought someone might give me a headstart on what to look for.
