Oldskool 6,640 #276 Posted July 11, 2020 Well it was a failed test drive. Apparently still having belt issues. Yup threw the belt as soon as i was in the middle of the road with a truck coming over the hill. 20200711_090453.mp4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,274 #277 Posted July 11, 2020 Can't open the video but at least it moved some. That's a step (or a drive) in the right direction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,500 #281 Posted July 11, 2020 Video has to be uploaded to youtube and then link it here. I believe that is what Karl asked everyone to do. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,640 #283 Posted July 11, 2020 @19richie66. I had to turn my release valve to roll the tractor out of traffic. Is that suppose to turn clockwise or counterclockwise to engage it again. Also my lift piston only moves slightly. I can see the hoses jump when trying to lift or lower, but the hitch just wiggles a bit. Any insight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,664 #284 Posted July 11, 2020 You can spin the relief valve 360 degrees over and over makes no difference which way you go just where you wind up Pull the pin between the rock shaft and the heavy link going back to the 3pt. See if that changes anything. Look for an binding blockage of the rock shaft /cylinder arm. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,500 #286 Posted July 11, 2020 Sounds and looks good to me. 👍 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look for an binding blockage of the rock shaft /cylinder arm. The end caps of the rock shaft is where the binding is. Now is that cap open ended or is it cup shaped? My thought is if it's open ended I may drill a hole on either end to spray WD40 into then when freed put grease fittings in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,500 #289 Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) The rock shaft sits in blocks like the three point upper link. Edited July 11, 2020 by 19richie66 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have it freed up. I still wasn't getting full motion. The rest of the problem was the instrument panel had shrunk to the point it wasn't letting the handle have full travel. I put up a wanted ad for that panel and a dash panel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #291 Posted July 12, 2020 Well done! I showed Zach the video of you driving through the tall grass and he was going crazy saying...”I need those type of tires on Blackbeard (his GT14)!!!” Very cool indeed and I’m glad you’re sticking with it. You have it almost to the point of being able to put it into service👍🏻 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,640 #292 Posted July 12, 2020 @PeacemakerJack thank you. It's been fun it's also been a bit trying at times. A few more trips around the yard then on to the FEL part of the project. Any pics of Blackbeard? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #299 Posted July 13, 2020 Richie is right, the exhaust is a matter of preference and fitness for purpose. We are a family that has a farming background and so you will see a lot of AG tires and stacks on our tractors. However, more than half of our tractors don’t have stacks. I’ve always liked the look of them personally but there are certain applications, that even for me, I have chosen to stay with a factory exhaust or a non stack muffler. You are doing a great job! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was brought up with tractors. Field mowing and logging. Both instances you kinda want to shy away from the stack or it will just get pulled off. I think thats why I like them so much. Never really had them on much of anything. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
