Tractor Situation

Okay,

Dunno, but it looks as tho the old gal is finally cured. Have used 'er to feed cattle three days in a row now and it hasn't missed a single beat and no more black smoke. Bonus is that the fuel gauge is still on full. :>)

My friend Pete does this. He watches me beat my head against the wall, get myself all bloody, cry out in pain, get right to the edge of committing hari-kari and then he'll just nonchalantly call and tell me how to fix 'em. Thanks Pete! :>)

Somewhere along the line, the fuel shut off solenoid must have went south and someone tried to "farmer-fix" it by working over the main fuel feed with a drill bit.

So anyway, at the end of the day it took one last set of spark plugs and one brand spankin' new carburetor from IH. Ouch!

But, all is well now; didn't really know a gas tractor could run this good. :>)

Gled to hear of your success. Our 560 gasser gave us years of excellent service.

Lucky You ! LOL

You get all the goofed up Red ones to straighten out and I must of gotten all the goofed up Green ones ? I have had some real duzies.

If I would have bought a nice little 185 Allis in the first place, we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation. :>)

That was the original plan 'cause I don't like wakin' up a diesel in the winter either. Plus, this one has that huge hydraulic pump which makes for very fast loader operation.

She sure drug me thru the woods to finally get here tho. :>)
