702854boy 776 #328 Posted April 7 (edited) Well hopefully the weather holds out since you just about finished your goal of having the tractor done by Pullstart's plow day Edited April 8 by 702854boy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexR 2,879 #329 Posted April 9 It's a runner! Wiring isn't 100% done. Going to try to get that finished up tomorrow. It still needs tuning but I may have to do that at Pullstart's. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexR 2,879 #333 Posted April 12 Trial by fire. Just started for the first time on Thursday and put it in the dirt today. I got the charging system wiring done, the carb nipple was leaking fuel got that fixed. It still needs tuning more, I may end up putting bushings on the throttle shaft of the carb I thought it was tight enough but I think that might be part of what is giving me some trouble. But it did plow really good! Still some small stuff to get sorted out. But traction is good, the front stays planted. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha yeah I was a bit worried about having enough room in the furrow for the weight on the right front tire. But it worked ok, definitely can't keep them nicely painted doing that though. Thank you! Now that this one is about done, I think it's time for my 73' to get some love next. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
