VacDaddyt 167 Posted Friday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:02 PM Just dragged this home. Will need a lot of work. At least the engine is loose, but was dismayed when they tilted it loading and water ran out of one of the rear axles. I will have to get everything drained but likely that will let things rust. The rear hitch was unexpected. Tires are weather checked and round. Got rid of the roll bar to get it inside. Usually don't see a front pump only-might not stay that way. I am beginning to think I should take it apart first and see what needs to be done I know the clutch isn't right and the front end rear support needs help. Probably should get the top of the trans off to see how rusty. They said it was inside for years, If you believe that I got some swamp land to sell you. The only problem is my C2500 trans started to slip when backing in the drive, that may have to come first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank H 302 Posted Friday at 10:13 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:13 PM Thats some kind of bizarre fast hitch to 3 pt. conversion. A friend of mine has a 350. It is a bear except for the steering box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mmi 327 Posted Saturday at 03:54 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:54 AM that is an early one with later parts added careful when you try to put the exhaust back how it belongs (under) are the taper fit steering arms loose yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VacDaddyt 167 Posted Sunday at 02:02 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:02 AM Exhaust was up right for a long time, long enough that the bolt heads on the elbow are almost rounded off with rust. This tractor is a jig saw puzzle. I took the rest of the sheet metal off the engine and found extra resistors and condensers and a rats nest of wiring. Took the carb off because the fuel line was cut and it looked like mud daubers were at work. Did not find a venturi even though the recess is for it. Dirt and grime through most of the passageways. Did they not put a venturi in some models? Or do I need to find one. I was going to see if it runs before I dig too deep. I did get three or four gallons of water out of the trans before it freezes up. I did find some hytran in each of the three compartments. More as I dig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoshoe 319 Posted Sunday at 03:13 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:13 PM You'll have to be real good with the choke to make it run without the venturi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
