We'll get back to this thing in a few days and see if I can get it to run smooth. I can’t wait to see what the carb looks like after you dunked it! That’s very tricky on a carb, when it’s crusty like that... you turn one screwdriver/ wrench to far and snap!! Followed by “oh sh*t!” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s very tricky on a carb, when it’s crusty like that... you turn one screwdriver/ wrench to far and snap!! Followed by “oh sh*t!” I think most of it is going to come out perfectly fine. The only issue I could really find on disassembly was around the main jet. I've had multiple people tell me on this site and in person not to bother to change that. Just clean it. So it should be okay. if I get time I'm going to take it out of the drink tonight and clean it up a bit just to see where it stands. I'll try to remember to take some pictures. It'll go back in for another two or three days after that though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a little tough to see but you can visualize the sheet metal that was wrapped all the way around this trailer. Also had a cover on top. That's why the exhaust is shaped like it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,600 #31 Posted August 20, 2019 Eric, you’ve been mentioning the longing for building your version of a Super C. Also, the need for a custom belt guard when that time comes. Maybe Richard can help here, but I think the 953’s and maybe other large frame tractors used strategically placed angle iron to act as the “brake” for the belt when slack is introduced into the belt routing. Maybe you could follow after that theory instead of all the trial and error of belt guard fab... then make a cover essentially that has no use but to keep your legs outta the loop? @953 nut what say you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like that idea. In fact, when I was working on getting that 1267 to move correctly last fall I basically did just that. Somebody in the past had cobbed that tractor together from who knows what. Whatever belt guard was on there had never been correct for a 1267 I think. I used a piece of angle aluminum riveted in place for the top side of the belt to ride on while the clutch pedal was down. I'm not sure if I'm really aiming to build a super C of my own so to speak. I just wondered if I was going to end up doing that by accident anyway. Whatever I'm doing here is probably going to end up no longer than a C series but definitely taller. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate that. Needless to say I was pretty happy when that thing tried to fire over. I did get the carb gaskets in the mail today from Lincoln @A-Z Tractor. I probably won't have time to finish cleaning this out in the next day or two... I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can get this carburetor to flow on its own. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On Wednesday evening I took out the float, bowl, and elbow. I wire brushed them very very lightly by hand under lukewarm water and they all came out excellent including removing old blue paint. I'll do the same thing with the rest of the carburetor later today or sometime tomorrow I hope. It's cleaning up nicely and I'm hoping it will come out and run well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,018 #40 Posted August 25, 2019 I have a couple different threads going about how this carburetor was being cleaned up but I wanted to make sure I included a photo in this thread. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,428 #41 Posted August 25, 2019 That cleaned up real nice, Eric. What did you soak them in? I look forward to seeing this engine running and under the hood of a Wheel Horse soon! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look forward to seeing this engine running and under the hood of a Wheel Horse soon! Here's a couple pics of the can. Gallon-size with a basket in it. Used a little bit of patience. Total soaking time 6 days. Really would have been fine in three or four, maybe less. I've got the carb back in place now. Need to install the air cleaner and see what happens when I bump the start switch..... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly what I figured on doing. Get a little time on the engine and get it to heat up and cool down a few times and see if it just had a stuck ring or some sssstuffff in a valve or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
