Pullstart 59,732 #1 Posted October 29, 2019 So earlier this year Rylee bought this 1076 with her own money. $65! I told her that when she’s ready to work on it, I’ll show her how to work on it. Some smart kid decided it’s too cold and wet on her birthday to ride the quad in the field. She’d rather wrench instead! ❤️ We started by checking the oil. Now I can see there is a wiring mess, so we’re checking over the wiring before we try to touch the key off.. 8 11 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,732 #4 Posted October 29, 2019 We have a runner! With spray that is... we have a fuel issue. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,732 #5 Posted October 29, 2019 There is a ton of varnish in the carb and about 1/8” slop in the throttle shaft, so we’re going to look for some donor parts and run some new fuel line. The clear stuff is leaking all over. But first, LUNCH! Rylee took a break to take a birthday call.. 10 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,671 #8 Posted October 29, 2019 You know Kevin how much I treasure the time with my kids in the shop! It does my heart good to see you and Rylee turning wrenches together. It is such a fun experience that it is hard to believe there is a great deal of teaching and learning taking place...I’m along for this journey 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,732 #13 Posted October 29, 2019 The P.O. was deceased and Rylee bought this from his nephew at the estate sale. He only knew it had a new battery, nothing else. Probably the reason it was not in running condition for the P.O. is because I found the coil was only getting power when cranking. The switch is not correct for the machine, but it was wired for a starter solenoid. Next will be getting it to run on it’s own power, now the coil has power whenever the switch is on or in start! After that, sorting the generator charging circuit out... 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,793 #17 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Have I not taught you anything? Pull the deck first! She ain't gonna need it where she is gonna ride! Deck does look to be decent tho so don't scrap it! Hear tell they don't make them anymore. Need some wiring tactics give me, Dan or @953 nut a jingle. Most of all have fun!

Pullstart 59,732 #18 Posted October 30, 2019 Jim the deck is a good foot rest for her while she grows into the stirrups 👍 @stevasaurus you’re really gonna love this name we came up with! 1076... 76ers comes to mind. Philadelphia 76ers. Philly. A Filly is a female horse too young to be a mare. Rylee’s “Filly” 3 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,793 #20 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) And this is exactly what you get for hanging out with Jack's crew.. naming tractors then getting attached to them and now can't even parts them out need be! This is exactly why I name them 1077 #1 and 1077 # 2.... be thankful I don't get attached and not be sentimental about parting them out cause you might very well end up with parts! Wel....l maybe except for Old Red and Cindy's Red and the Highway Man... Jeepers Cats now I'm naming them....you guys are bad influences! Pull the PTO belt she wants to ride with feet on the deck... safety first ! Edited October 30, 2019 by WHX24 1 1 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,732 #21 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Hanging out with Jack’s crew was all fun and games, but I’ve been naming my tractors for quite a few years now Edited October 30, 2019 by pullstart Vid... just couldn’t spell back then! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,671 #22 Posted October 30, 2019 Great name—Kevin and Rylee! Bonus points for a triple meaning...and easily rolls off the tongue! Looking good so far! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,732 #23 Posted October 30, 2019 A little update while my 10 year old is sleeping... Daddy checked the gap on the points and we were at a loose .020”. I brought it in to .018” and this Filly came alive! On the clean cement, it spins the tires a bit from forward to reverse! I need to come up with a belt guard and get her on a test drive soon! 2 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
