Tractorhead 9,064 #5976 Posted August 4, 2020 The deck looks pretty sharp Paul. Fits nicely to the machine. 👍 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,177 #5977 Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) About 6 weeks ago removed the motion control assembly and completely disassembled it. Today cleaned all shafts and associated parts, picked up new nyliner plastic bushings for reassembly and anything else that appeared worn. Cleaned and painted PTO parts and E-brake hardware. Polished pto rod housing, mule drive,motion control and trans engage/ disengage lever for the 420. Getting closer to a trail ride test run.

I'm hoping to bring 4 but I've got 5 that run and drive on their own now and I don't want that one to get lonely 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,177 #5981 Posted August 4, 2020 I'd love to get a picture of you driving something with an automatic. Or maybe have my daughter take a video ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys are welcome to take as many pictures or videos of me as you like as long as you understand I am not camera friendly. I don't have the talent or training to break a wine glass with my voice but I can sure as anything screw up a camera lens just by having a pointed at me. I'd like to have my own Charger Hydro down there but it's torn apart at the moment. We'll see how the next few weeks plays out with my work and hiking. If I don't get that one down there, I'm sure you've got something hydrostatic I can fly around the yard on. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redneckdavis 308 #5983 Posted August 5, 2020 Changed out bad fuel pump. Have never seen or used this box style. $20 online. 2-4 1/2 psi. Should be perfect. And test drive:) my first full lap around shop without stopping to fill carb bowl back up:) No..I haven't got the correct battery to fit inside my new box. But a bungee cord is like zip ties best friend. Holds a truck battery fine 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArturHawk 184 #5984 Posted August 5, 2020 A little while ago I changed my C-120's transmission fluid because it was full of water. Recently, I found out that the shifter boot may be the culprit. Bought new ones anyway and when I got out to change it this is what I found. Needless to say, i think I found my problem. Also got on the Raider 10 and tuned the carb for the new engine. Sounds good and I got to move some dirt around the yard. Couldn't help but take a pic of the action. 5 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnymag3 2,520 #5986 Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Going to get the B 100 !!! Cant wait to get that gem....Its been asleep for 10-15 years in the storage building behind the guys house. The other Horses will be so happy to see a long lost relative.... Lots of pictures to follow...including the skeleton on the snowmobile in his front yard !!! PRICELESS !!!

johnnymag3 2,520 #5987 Posted August 5, 2020 ok.....the journeys over......This is is one of the most ORIGINAL Horses ever that I have seen. One owner, unmolested.....has a bad left front hoof though, I am going to put some dressing on it after dinner... poor thing..... Paint on the dash is really nice, and the overall paint on the machine is pretty darn nice too....Going to give her a salad dressing finish, then go through all of the fluids. They all look full, and like honey. AMAZING. If it not being indoors its whole life things may have turned out different for this Horse. Now its home to where it will be able to graze on non ethanol fuels, Lucas oil,and very special lubricants.... LOOK WHAT FOLLOWED ME HOME HONEY.......................I also told you about the skeleton...and some other priceless items in the yard...check out the Skee Horse...awesome. Read the signs tooo....what a find free mule drive....look at these guys towing the tractor from the rear property... 5 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,905 #5989 Posted August 6, 2020 Good deal @johnnymag3! It looks like the lift arm has been pulled past the top a few times. I believe it should be straight but has a pretty wicked bend at the bottom. If the push button on top sticks, that might be why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,508 #5992 Posted August 6, 2020 Think some models were bent so you didn’t have to reach over as far forward........ just a hypothesis 😎 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #5993 Posted August 6, 2020 Firstly i introduce the Greasepump to a few greasenipples. They appreciate it. and some light Oil to greasing moving Parts to break loose. the next day‘s i will rework the Oil drain pipe, because it becomes loose. Then i will fill Engine Oil in and Gear Oil and do a compression test, after that i will do a first Testride, to see how the Engine performs before i do start the whole rework. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chip61 658 #5998 Posted August 7, 2020 I have an Automatic10 and the lift lever and pto lever come back so far (you can see they are at more of an angle than the newer C series) that they actually get in the way when I get on the tractor if I don't lower the lever. That B100 is one nice tractor. Great find! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #5999 Posted August 7, 2020 516 is down with a bad head gasket so the C-125 gets the nice 42SD. Looks like it always should have now - clean deck. The RD is mechanically perfect but trashy - restoring this winter. Added some of that slick ZDDP from Rislone from the USPS and ran the front lawn. Sweetness.
