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.
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?
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.
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...
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!
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...
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.
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.
1964 W/Horse model 1054A; I decided to let some of my tractors go. I believe I have everything for the 1054A, including extras. The one thing missing was the original 10hp Kohler with the starter/generator. It did have a later model 10hp Kohler. I pulled it and replaced it with an old 16hp Kohler I had (high hours, runs well) and I added a voltage regulator. Fuel tank is good. Hydraulic pump worked when I parked it. I think the wiring is original. Tractor has been in my storage barn many years. Fired right up to take pics. Included: “2 mower decks, one good deck & one rusty parts deck (no holes)”; “42inch snow blade”; “2 sets of rear tires & wheels”: “new replacement headlight lenses”; “new PTO clutch disc lining”; Both Kohler engines go with it and all the extra parts. Everything has been in dry storage since I got it. I'm pricing low to sell & clean out garage. Local pick-up only.
