After long time a smile on my face.

[Retired Wrencher 5,458]

I have been working on this since last year with a failed attempt  because of cheap over the big pond rebuild kit. Want to give BIG  thanks to @Docwheelhorse. For picking up this engine for me in January.  It was a partial 856. Yes it has been that long. I had to switch over parts from the bad engine to this one witch is a vacuum engine being my first. Been a long good day out side in the sun. I hope you enjoy the picks and one Video.

@Retired Wrencher nice unit ! take advantage of its simplicity , keep on making it better , more reliable , a consistent eye on it will show you what's going on . you are not in competition , you are striving for solid reliability .is that an oiled paint patina ? oiled hood front end ? you can probably get a rear fender match , with a penetrating oil soak down , sit a day , then rub it in with a clean cloth , also like MINERAL OIL , would step up verified lubrication , everywhere , cables etc.,  check out the front wheels for side to side , SHUCKING , don't be afraid to add some flat washers , better grease , sending you good ju ju   on that , pete

Pete I just use Marvel. The ting is the fuel pump now. It is a rebuilt pulse pump. Hard starting when cold. I have few lever pumps but need to be rebuilt. Those are on the way. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Mike. Working getting rid of the pulse pump and getting the lever type pump on. Waiting for the rebuild kits to come in. I think this engine will work fine just a few bugs to work out.

Those pulse pumps should work just fine Gary. Not sure why that would be giving you any trouble.

 

If you don't want them, please hold them out for me. It would be good to have a couple spares for Trina's engines.

I can do that Eric. It just starts hard when cold. Still getting used to it tho. Have time to work it out. It was rebuilt. @buckrancher made the diagrams for it.

@Retired Wrencher  that marvel will do just fine , the lubrication base feed is your recovery start . the fuel issue , something  I  have regularly done , is to run in a engine pick up , on a separate gallon of heavily treated gas , thru the pump , also drop carb bowl , for crud . probably fuel hose break down , carbuncles' in there . that entire fuel run needs a refresh , personally , have STA BIL in all my fuel , prevents fuel hose break down . also detail check the throttle linkage , for smooth function .  pete

Is it a given that there is a lobe on the cam to operate a lever type fuel pump? 

[Tractorhead 9,064]

Congrats, the Engine sounds great.

Hope you have long term hapiness with it.

There is one cam listed for this engine. Does not mention anything about the pump. All of the small blocks I've had apart have had the lobe. So I would assume the lobe is there.

I believe they came off a Cub tractor. Good for tight places.
