Quoted me $250 so I am very satisfied. I have it all packaged up already and I will send it off tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHauck 122 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 I got my emblems back from Jeff and they look great. But I’ve been messing with this tractor for a little while and I still can’t seem to figure out the carburetor. It runs OK but obviously very rich and labored when I have it on choke and as soon as I take the choke off it will very slowly come to a stop. It doesn’t seem to matter where I screw the mixture that still doesn’t change much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug in NY Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 have you cleaned the carb? sounds like jet is plugged or restricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s a good chance I could’ve screwed something up. I bored out the jet a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is amazing and super tough! $800+ for 2 gallons of it but it was definitely worth it I don’t think I’ll ever go back to anything else at least for an in-depth restoration like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Bent Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I used Delfleet on my pulling tractor it’s really holding up good even on the weight brackets were I’m throwing weights of and on all the time. Looks great I would love to have a 660! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s quite a few! This will probably be my only one unless I come across another rare one. I have no interest in those 282 diesels haha. Good eye, I started it in my schools ag shop but come summer I had to move it to my home shop. Definitely a downgrade. Right now a new shop is just a thought being thrown around but hopefully in a year or two it will be a reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame and superstructure got a Cumberland epoxy primer. It was relatively inexpensive so hopefully I won’t regret that. Then on the hoods I used shopline by PPG, epoxy and surfacer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
