lynnmor 6,837 #51 Posted June 1, 2020 Is that a lot of wear on the bearing area of the armature? At 13 volts, it will take forever to fully charge the battery. Did you check each segment of the commutator? It sounds like the starter has less strength in spots. Maybe the rightful owner of the tools could help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good eye, I borrowed some of Rylee’s tools I didn’t see much obvious wear, but I’ve never been into one of these. I don’t know how to check the commutator. Once fully charged, I’ll see how quick it’ll spin over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,966 #53 Posted June 2, 2020 Here is a good simple video to check stuff! I’ll grab my meter and pull it back apart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 6,837 #54 Posted June 2, 2020 That is a good video for your purpose. Does Rylee have a meter you can borrow? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,624 #55 Posted June 2, 2020 Good idea to check the coils. i can also imagine, maybe the Magnets in the housing lost their magnetism a bit over the time. btw. I see you cleanup the Amature‘s comutator, but it looks on the pict a lot of grinded copper between contacts. you should take care after that, the surfaces between contacts is free of grinded Copper parts, because they can act as a resistor and shortened or drop the Voltage on comutator, in worst case it can melt together or even burn the comutator. therefore an old toothbrush can be your friend to remove the grinded parts out of the inbetween‘s. did you check, if the Carbon springs are strong enough, if they to weak, there is also a big resistance, that can causes your symptoms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,966 #56 Posted June 24, 2020 I received these Carlisle tires as partial payment for services rendered at my Aunt and Uncle’s house. They were on his SCUT John Deere but tire up his yard too bad while mowing. I’ll need some hubs to mount a set of rear Wheel Horse 10” wheels up front, but I like ‘em! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,380 #57 Posted June 24, 2020 Them are rugged. You can get stubs and hubs on etrailer.com super reasonable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about using a set of 1” hubs... and running a 3/4“ x 1” Bronze/brass bushing!? 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,966 #59 Posted June 24, 2020 Here are the 10” wheels I’ll use. They have 20x6-10 tires currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,624 #60 Posted June 24, 2020 Or maybe flat roller bearings if possible. Rear tyres looking dang cool ! maybe useful on the Loader horse 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,966 #64 Posted June 24, 2020 I know Uncle Jim’s gonna kill me for this, but I’m modifying these hubs into front hubs by boring them to 1-1/4” and using some solid round bar to slide onto the spindles. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,966 #73 Posted August 19, 2020 Well, everyone has their price indeed. This 701 engine is now Uncle Jim’s. Somehow we traded MY 701 stuff and MY kid’s slave labor and SHE got the tractor from Jim... I have plans to stick the engine from Steve the C-81 in this chassis. The battery will need to be relocated possibly under the seat, but it’ll be a fun chore tractor! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
