Good Lord, It's a couple of Fords (1964 Ford 2000 & 1949 8N)

[legopnuematic]

Race welded and came out, then removed the seal and remains of needle bearing.

Somebody forget to plug it in????

Yes, and I’m that somebody.

Turns out an electric welder works better with electricity. Who would have thought.

Stuff happened tonight.

New freeze plugs, valve train torqued, initial lash set. Yes it was actually resting on the bucket, we kept tension on the chain, but did let it go slack to see if it would hold (it did).

Also got most of the harness installed. Discovered that the new light switch shorts to ground when in-between the off and on position and blows the 10a fuse.

 

[bucket]

What style light switch did you get and where does it mount?

 

[idahovette]

put a 25 in it , Spencer nah, you know better @legopnuematic

 

[legopnuematic]

What style light switch did you get and where does it mount?

It is a factory style reproduction switch. It mounts opposite of the key switch on the passenger side of the console.

And then this happened:

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

Got quite a bit of little stuff to do to it, but it feels really good to hear it come to life. Runs smooth so far. Need to restab the distributor as I put it in 180 out. Then put a timing light on it, etc, etc.

 

[Shorty81]

Spencer, you awesome!!

 

[legopnuematic]

It moves. Clutch needs some adjustment, the grab point is super high. Hydraulics work smooth after a couple cycles to bleed things.

Found out the radiator has at least one or two holes in it. If you leave the cap loose it doesn’t leak. Also managed to stick my thumb in the fan. It’s still there and no blood or damage other than a big old spot under the nail now. Oops.

Got the timing set and had to adjust the governor linkages as it would only idle down to 900rpm, spec is 450-475. I really believe this tractor was not running very well before the pump failure/cam break. It “surges” when idled up, I have a couple of suspicions on why that is, if you hold the throttle constant overpowering the governor it stays steady. I think the compensator spring might be weak and causing it to bounce.

It also does not appear to charge. I did the procedure to polarize the generator, but no luck. I’ll need to do some testing and see if the generator makes any output or if the regulator is the issue.

Bonus is this nice brake pad that was laying in the O’Reillys parking lot. I bet it only just started making noise.
