I did some upgrades tonight to the 1445. I’d like to have it be a house machine this year for plow day. The rear end is super heavy, so some front weight was in order. I also put a new Lowell lift cable on too. The flywheel is the stocker from Norman when I upgraded to a South Bend Clutch a few years back. It’s pretty heavy.

Front end & wheels done. Wheels came out nice but were a real pain getting them apart as the bolts holding the halves together were rusted tight. the heads are slotted and even with a well fitting very large screw driver tried not to mangle them to use them over. Make matters worse they are fine thread fillisters. Finally got them all out. Lots of time in the blast cab. Most guys would have went with a gloss black but I went with flat. Goes better with the final patina. Also was able to use the original tubes as they were very heavy rubber not like what's out there today. Tried a finnish of MMO on the frame but just didn't like it so went back to linseed oil.

Have a Great Day

I usually get 1to 2 psi pumps.

Eric I agree with this non E-fuel. Works well even after two years sitting with no additives.

This is the last of my tractors for rebuild or gone thru. It was about three years ago I pick this up from Stevbo. It runs pretty good. Many new parts.I think I made it better than it was. I had many others to work on before this last one. I thinking of keeping this one. Also I ordered a Gravely muffler for this also.SORRY FOR BAD VIDEO. I am rusty at doing Vids. I used do this in all my posts years ago…….. I hope you enjoy it..Fell free to ask any questions. IMG_1075.mov

Bearing seized some where. Take off the belt and check end to end.

Awesome, sounds really good…. I have the same fuel pump on my 1257. Enjoy it, definitely a keeper.

Motor sounds great! How is it when you crack the throttle?

I can only imagine what my phone has heard over these years. Scary!

right there's your smoking gun, pressure is too high.

@EB-80/8inPA my carbole electric pumps are 2-3.5 psi , no issues , pete

Did you REMOVE and CLEAN the tank? Every inch of fuel line replaced?
