No roy, i dont intend to do that ever again :-)
My Dad (the one who got me the kubota) thinks im off my rocker, plumb crazy for buying it. His face went blank when i showed him the crank, and that it was stuck. I explained what stuck ment and he rolled his eyes, LOL. Well, if i let what people said about my hobby effect me i wouldnt have a tractor, LOL.
Anyway, i went out at 4:30 this morning to begin sanding. Got the hood ready to prime on sunday when it hits the mid 40s. Went to TSC and looked over carb kits, they had half a dozen for AC tractors without really specifing what models, and there was no body around, so ill have to go back later. Got 2 quarts of ATF and sent old an email (didja get it?) a few mins ago. Got a can of engine degreaser (although paint thinner also works) and a can of PB blaster, and i found a 7/8 of a can of the stuff in the barn today, from someone who broke our door and left what we needed to fix it and ran for the highway. Someone here on this site gave me a operators manuel, a service manuel, and a parts manuel that he no longer needed, you guys are the best. I also took an offer for a carborator for it.
Now, the radiator has a flimsy tin like cap on it, is it pressurised?? It looks un pressurised to me but i dont know. Its a 1939 model.
Also, the gas tank has surface rust and not much of it. There is nothing between the cap and the tank, all there is is a hole there. Im not even sure it'll need anything, just looks like the inside of a old galvanised gas can.
The sediment bowl on the fuel filter is rust covered, and i intended to replace it, but with TSC's prices around $45 i think i'll try to clean it first, LOL. Any ideas?? Im thinking paint thinner and a rag.
I have decided to use the jacking it up as a last method since some of you guys said it could result in rod damage.
I pulled the air cleaner, and wiped all grime, rust, etc. Anyway, i cant seem to get the bowl off the bottom, a light tap from a rubber mallet and some Liquid wrench couldnt coax it and i dont want to try anything extreme. Any ideas?? Am i not doing something right like the oil filler cap i spun for 10 mins before realising it lifts right off, doesnt unscrew (drrrr).
Has anyone here used Vinegar to remove rust or grime?? I think its worth a try.
Kansas cockshutt, i dont think phosforic acid will be nessicary, but if it is, thanks for the warnings, i definatially understand. :-]
Well back at it tomorrow!!!Hope to get those brake levers moving, more LW today. The cultivator rack removal is coming along, the harder side is off.
Will take some pics tomorrow and post 'em.
One more thing,
Does anyone need: (i can email pics)
Part of a cultivator?? It looks kinda nice in good shape. It is the part that phisicially attatches to the tractor.
steering wheels from an AC B?? I have 2 extras A front axle (the man i got it from included it because the current axle has a plate welded to it for moving wagons and such but i think i'll leave it)
Or a oil pressure guage, i think. Looks really old, i found it this morning under the radiator. Orignal possibly??? Mabey???
How about an Amp guage off a parts torque tube?? I know i wont need that. It is like new.
