My wife figured out how to create AI images

Only problem is he tells me they are pink

My response

September 18, 1983, Ten years after signing their first record deal, with their album sales flagging, '70s rock band Kiss shocks audiences by appearing live on MTV for the first time without their iconic face paint.

Part 4 of the video series…

This picture shows piston wash. The clean area is from oil getting past the rings and washing the carbon off the top of the piston.

My brother worries me. Every time he drives by a dairy farm, he pulls over and leaves a few dollars on the fence. Doesn't he know cow tipping is illegal?

AI is going to kill us all. You first when she sees that! LOL

Appreciation was not what I had for it in he moment. I was already rather annoyed because the rodent damage actually caused an electrical fire, and so in addition to everything else, and that harness not being easy to do, everything, including myself, was covered in flame retardant.

Thanks. This is what I would have guessed. I’m thinking that the next time I do an oil change I’ll tape the key to a checklist that I can review before trying to start the engine!

This if you plan on staying around and enjoy these ol tractors it is well worth the price of admission to become a supporter. You would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of 's then what's on here and all the W/H knowledge you want find anywhere else.

Typically the order of flow through a pressurized oil system is pump, filter, crank bearings, cam bearings, lifters/valve train, and then back to the pan. If the engine was started, with oil in it, it would be EVERYWHERE.

He will need to have his eyes examined or root for the Boston Pink Socks.

Common moto for a KISS song - Sing 9 words & sing em well. Like thier music, the chorus was ussually a bit redundant.

Always drink upstream from the herd. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Happy Birthday Terry, thanks for all the help you have offered all of us.

I would also think it would smoke??

I would think if all that oil was getting up past the rings the plug would have been fouled....

And whilst you're in there look at the piston edge closest to the exhaust valve. I bet it's eaten away.

Here's a similar carb for the explanation.

Have a Great Day Terry and thanks for all you do for us.

Hood paint complete. 416 and 314 Hood paint complete.

Hood paint complete.

If I happened onto a #22 that was badly worn, I’d be temped to experiment with other ways to revive it--perhaps drill out and insert bushing(s) at the upper and lower pivots? This is not uncommon in older automotive carbs.

Hood masked for black grill paint. Hood semi-gloss black grill paint applied.

Unfortunately most of the small block carbs I've seen don't have that provision.

I've fired more than 1 vendor in my time. We had a chiller at the hospital that hadn't run right from the day I went back to work 4 years ago. Had the OEM service dept there over and over. I won't mention them by name but they haul a lot of goods on rails. Every time they came back it was thousands and thousands. I kept all of the invoices. It was close to $200 grand. When I decided to retire and it still wasn't fixed I called the district manager and said he needed to come down to my office. Showed him everything I had. It was finally fixed just before I left without any additional cost. sometime ya gotta be the bad guy or they will walk all over ya. Complaining about it to your neighbor ain't gonna fix it.

A quick check for the upper throttle shaft play is to put a drop of oil on the depression around the shaft (right where @ebinmaine is pointing) while the engine is running. If the surging goes away and then returns when the oil is gone then air in-leakage around the shaft is your problem. The little brass washers from the hardware store could do the trick.

Marketing expertise at its finest right here, ladies and gentlemen.

Where the top of the piston and combustion chamber has no carbon because of leaky rings. Dan skooled me this. @Achto got a pic??? I'm sure the Squonky @squonk has seen it.

Happy Happy Terry

I think anything below about freezing temperature you should have it on there. And it shouldn't matter if it's ACR or not. The oil isn't going to mind one way or the other. It's about keeping things lubed up more appropriately. A slightly warmer oil will Lube the engine better and sooner.

Yes I bought one last year my self, for that K241 non ACR engine Eric. I think 30 and 20,s should be fine. After that I will use the block heater.

I use a magnetic heater on my 1975 C160 Automatic. Definitely makes a huge difference. Also a lot less expensive than propane.

I'm not the music enthusiast I used to be but I did see Stevie Ray Vaughan in Pittsburgh many, many years ago when he opened for the Outlaws and then his brother with the Fabulous Thunderbirds in San Antonio a few years later in Hemisphere Park during Cinco de Mayo, I think that was maybe 1989. Memories...

Not a bad idea - especially for those of us who are getting older and wiser. Just tonght, I got the MF GC1720 loaded on the trailer. I shut off the fuel for transport and noticed that the charge light was on for the emergency trailer brake battery. Not knowing how much it will take to charge it from the truck battery, I unplugged the trailer from the truck. Got to remember to plug the trailer in before I leave in the morning. Should leave a note on the tractor key to turn the fuel back on, too.

This should help her! https://tractordata.com/

Something is broken or someone put on the wrong tie rod(s)

Gotcha... actually it's pretty good... I'm thinking it's most likely just dirty... I'm noting improvements as I run it, so I'm thinking it's just a matter of time before I get to good... everything on this has been pretty dirty so far... so I'm just keeping up with cleaning as I go and we'll see...

Greased all zerks. Boy was there some nasty black ooze coming out... Continued to work on surging issue... bit more carb cleaner, tweaking the adjustments, running it with good gas, some Seafoam, stabil... getting better. May dip it again...

I was just referring to the upper throttle shaft play. A flanged bushing could be filed to conform to the elongated lower pivot point, or as you have suggested drill top and bottom to ensure proper alignment and insert bushings top and bottom

Hoods masked for black grill paint. Hoods semi-gloss black grill paint applied. I looks very shiny in the pic because the paint is still wet.

Many moons ago when I lived in Florida I took a street rod I had just about finished to an automotive air-conditioning shop to have the system evacuated and filled. There was a bit of a panic situation going on because a customer had just left and the remote from his car had locked the doors of another car which was left running with the driver's door open while the system was being charged. someone had closed the door to allow another car room to back out and didn't reopen it. This was pre cellphone days and most cars didn't have remote door locks. As luck would have it when my wife showed up to pick me up she knew where the fellow who's remote locked the door worked and we drove over there, borrowed his keys and they opened the door. From that day forward the AC shop made it their practice to have the windows wide open (not just the door) and a piece of duct tape over the door latch to keep it from closing tight.

Put that in English... do you mean to the governor? Or...? i ain't a carbermanator expert like u...

A bent or loose steering arm needs to be fixed / replaced before throwing good money at it buying adjustable tierods with replacable joints. Note the relative placement of the rh and lh outer tierod joints - they look about the same - yet the lhe slindle IS damaged. Note the damage to the upper hood - looks like a vehicle backed into it - a coincidence that the spindle took a beating too???? Methinks a LOT more is bent / busted / broken here than meets the eye.

He stated Bill. Might be worn rings causing some blow by to push oil out the breather. Fairly typical with our working singles.

A bit more thinking…. And progress Steering complete tidied up that butchered end... tube for drive line

It would be nice to "avoid" the jungle site but stores just don't seem to have what we ( I ) need most of the time. Lowes and Walmart near us packed with stuff but when we need something and check the website it has to be ordered. Even though the last time I bought it it was in stock on the shelf. Doesn't matter what. Shampoo we like? Nope! Furnace filter in the size we have? NADA even though they sold 100 of them last month they aren't a stocked item anymore. What really burnt my noggin was NAPA of all places. I wanted a spare sparkplug for my generator. Asian engine so I wanted NGK. I looked it up. They had Champion's in stock and NGK was a next day item. So Wednesday night I order it on my Prolink account. They get the order when they open and I ASSumed it would be on the afternoon truck. So I go to the store Thursday. " No not here yet." I go Friday. "Not here." I say it shouldn't take 2 days to get a spark plug stocked at the distribution center. They tell me they are getting it from their Remsen NY store and they haven't sent it. So Monday morning I go in to get something else and the plug still isn't there. I go "5 days for a spark plug! Is anybody here smart enough to pick up the phone and call this store and ask when the are they going to send this plug? I went home and later decided I would call my store and if they hadn't called the other store yet, I would call them myself. I grabbed my phone and it rang. My plug was in. They must have heard me! I worked in that store for 10 years and I would have been on the phone and gotten things handled on the first day. I could have gotten that plug on the Jungle next day Prime delivery. I would have paid $3 more but saved that in gas and aggravation!
