I think that the idle circuit in the carburetor is completely blocked.

I’ll check into that, but it seems it idled fine off camera after making some tweaks.  I’m always up for others’ ideas though!

Changed the oil in the air filter!

Frank’s freshly oiled air cleaner is back on, dripping a bit more residual oil now.  I’ll stick the hood back on then toss a rag under the filter to catch any more drips.

It feels good to say that Frank is finally finished!  I’d love to some day get him to quit smoking so much, as in bore and rebuild the engine... but otherwise it is complete and finished “

Much better than a trash can!

 

The Charger 12 axle is wider, and being a larger tractor I think this is the ticket...

How wide is that battery toolbox on top?

You can only make the oil so thick so that's no longer the fix! :ROTF::ROTF:

Frank is all kinds of blowed apart!

 

His new engine needs some serious cleaning and some clear coat!

Some degreaser to break up the grime…

It’s amazing what some soak time and a wire wheel can accomplish!

The new mill is sitting in place!  Now to re-do everything that I un-doed!

For reference, this is the engine I’m putting in.  I’ll refrain from using the shroud though.  Serial 9183072

 

The casting tolerance I understand doesn’t need to be perfect here.  Well for my bolt holes, it’s too big.  :tools-hammerdrill:

 

It was galling up the clear coat where it was hitting, so I ground down the high spots and smoothed the rest.  Waiting for the clear to dry and I’ll stick it back on for another test fit.  Yee haw!

Holes found (thanks to flash photography), threads chased for good measure, bolts greased.  :happy-bouncyred:

 

The nub looking things are plug welds to fill some p.o. mounting holes.

Done!  Frank’s fired up and I didn’t even have extra parts!

Yeah.  But I'll bet that dump truck project of Kevin's is still up on the top of one of his shelves.

It’s on the middle shelf… and it’s not all my fault - the hilo won’t drive!  :lol:
