EB Maybe we should pull them anyway and replace the seals on this one. Appears to be enough lube on the whole tractor they may slide right off with any luck. Mismatched and missing lugs, too.

oliver2-44 9,616 #29 Posted February 25, 2022 So I'm going to side track and say am I seeing that ya'll have a turquoise blue panzer blade in that load? Did ya'll get any other panzer stuff? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The PO told us a fella had come and picked up some other Panzer things but never come back for that. She figured I'd put it to good use. The plow is bent some but certainly repairable. Likely I'll just sell it the first good opportunity. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,271 #35 Posted February 25, 2022 At this rate anyone that attends Jims Meet/Greet can show up without a tractor as he’ll have enough to go around. Maybe I won’t have to haul up my truck and loaded trailer…hmmm. Maybe drive my 4 cylinder car (“is that your wife’s car” is how Jim once referred to it ) and save a bunch on fuel 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,121 #41 Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Folks how's the starter internals look here. It does work. Wasn't noisy. Small bushing good. Large bushing I'm replacing. Brushes have a ton of life left. @squonk @pfrederi @stevasaurus and whoever knows starters can you chime in here ... Note the cracks in the (insulation?)

ebinmaine 67,121 #42 Posted February 27, 2022 @JCM Jim was here for a visit today. Between the 3 of us we got more disassembly and cleaning done. The entire steering tower/shifter tunnel is off. Engine tins off and great headway towards cleaning that all out. Grass dirt oil muck. Just. Covered. Wow. Everything. Rest of the starter is torn apart and I began cleanup on that. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 40,966 #43 Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I've never seen a starter commutator gooped up like that! I couldn't tell you if that's normal for that starter or not. I'm more used to something like this. Your looks like it got hot and melted! Edited February 27, 2022 by squonk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
