update on the cockshutt 1755.

i got this tractor last fall. been spending the warmer afternoons working on it. got the fuel tank leak fixed with jb weld. soemone
suggested to use seal all. that was a total waste of time . left it to dry for a week and noway. i was not even going to test it with
diesel i scrapped it all of with my finger nail . then cleaned it all up again and used jb weld. tested it and good after a few days. got
the tank back on. checked and set the valves , not out much. checked the timing all good. got it started few days ago. engine missing on
one cyl. blowby like a buggar. hummm blowby thats stuck rings. loosened each injector line up and found number 6 cyl made no difference and
the smoke disappeared loosening the line. yep thats the culprit. pulled number 6 injector out. turned it over with thumb over the hole and
would not even blow my thumb off. poured in a cup full of atf and let it sit for 2 days. yesterday tuned it over by hand and squirted the
oil out of that cyl. tryed the thumb thing and wow got some pressure. put injector back in and started it up . then tightened injector and
she smoothed right out , hitting on 6 cylinders now. now on the hunt for some rear tires as they are all rotten and flat. then i can give
them cylinders a break in under load to seat them rings again. i sure did not want to start tearing the engine down. fixed lots of stuff on
it. one hyd. hose was blown. replaced that and filled the hyd's. solder up main fuel line had cracks. replaced the fuel filter also and
gave it an engine oil change too. it was pretty cool today but it did start with the preheater. see later how it works in the field.

what size tires would a 1755 take?? Sounds like your making a silk purse out of a sows ear lol gobble

It has 18.4 x34. The hard to find ones. 1000x16 on the front. Plus I have the duals I will put on. Its actually a nice low hr unit. The old guy parked it once the hyd hose blew. It was sitting a long time. One thing about these they are a nice steering tractor the way the front end is.

Must have had old saying an ATF prayer for you, lucky man if that fixed it! Hope he is doing okay, has not posted since late January.

i poured marvel mystery oil in my 4010 that was low houred but set in a barn 12 years n after it was warmed up we put it on the ew holland whirl away blower. first load was interesting not much power but she got hot n suddenly black soot was flying out the muffler n it smoothed out. after that a slug would fall over wagon beaters n she would raise a rear tire up a bit n get loud. never had trouble out of it either.
hope your does the same way

what, u mean he is a church preacher now?

Old sent me a picture

Which solder did you use on the fuel lines?

Bailey's 1800c/1755 hybrid has a return line leak, back at the back of the motor.

Sounds like a good machine.
Lucky you for finding it and keeping it from being parted out!






He said he thinks Larry should use this wagon so Walter could haul a bigger load.
Then he found the flowers on the hunt for the one mushroom.
