    How the throttle works on this tractor? As I understood from the manual you just using a clutch to move or to stop the machine. Is the throttle lockable, so you don't need to hold it depressed all the time? Getting ready to use my new machine, but I'm a newbie to a such kind of equipment. :)

      Hi, the tire size for the tractors is 6.00 - 16 lug tires if you have the older model with the 16-inch rims. There is a seller on eBay Tire Geek sells a pair with tubes for $175 plus shipping. Some of the newer model tractors with the 2-piece frames have 15-in rims. The tires that you see on the tractor with the chains were old truck tires that came from a different tractor. I hope this helps.

    I like your idea of the electrolysis bath. I use a lye bath for stripping paint. I saw the idea in a car restoration book years ago. Its basically a 30 gallon drum with a 240volt heater band that you add about 8 quarts of plumber’s lye. It will get to boiling temperature and you use wire to hang parts on the lip. It will take every bit of paint off, but not rust.

  • @billywatson8931
    @billywatson8931 Рік тому

    I am sure that some one has mentioned about adjusting the Youk that holds the plow , but I will say it again, RAISE THE LEFT WHEEL ABOUT 3 TO 4" ON SOME BLOCKS AND WITH THE PLOW SITTING ON A LEVEL FLOOR , ADJUST THE YOUK SO THAT THE LAND SIDE IS VERDICAL AND THE BOTTOM IS FLAT ON THE FLOOR, doing this should help to keep the plow following straight behind the tractor. And always use the smallest pully on the motor you can. Water in the tires could help.

  • @billywatson8931
    @billywatson8931 2 роки тому

    To keep the plow from going to the left , you might try this , on a flat surface put the left wheel on a 4" block and adjust the saddle bolts so that the plow sits level with the floor . now the plow should be level when the right is wheel the furrow.

    • @nigelwinslow

    Summary: He had it 5 years. light surface rust - good condition. Added fuel cutoff valve for summer-izing. No air filter. Reliable engine. Paint issues under the intake, but he picks up gravel frequently. Uses A/C extension cord for electric start. Snow removal part might have been year 6. He isn't too used to snow otherwise he would have cleared it off of the cars before clearing the drive of snow. ;) Thanks for the video - I am considering buying one of these.

    • @stephenfestus9268
      @stephenfestus9268 2 роки тому

      The tiller is forward rotating. Which is the better way to cultivate. Counter rotating tillers can break up virgin earth quicker but are prone to picking up rocks which can damage the internal gears.

    I have two horses and I'm curious if you know any trick on the engagement pins the engine moves up and down on. I had trouble on both tiller getting the pins freed up as they were rusted up to being frozen. I am curious if they should be highly polished or even chromed.

    • @stephenfestus9268
      @stephenfestus9268 2 роки тому

      Hi Eric, the first one I restored had rust frozen pins. I freed them using a propane torch to get them as hot as possible then spraying WD-40 while it was still hot, and this was able to draw the oil gap around the pin. I then used a rubber hammer to get them to move. The pins are not chrome plated. I cleaned them up with a wire wheel and filled the pits with autobody filler. Sanded them smooth and generous axle grease and have never had a problem since. I hope this helps.

      @stephenfestus9268 3 роки тому

      Planet Jr. did have a motorized tool called the Tuffy for just an application. My Troy Bilt tiller is an older model when if the wheels are powered the tines will turn. Later on they had a tiller with a disconnect system where the wheels would move without turning the tines. I have used the tiller for light weeding, but it was like going after a mosquito with a snow shovel. Too much collateral damage. Good idea though.
