Farmall H Carburetor Servicing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 січ 2022
- Just a quick dismantling, cleaning and reassembly of the nasty old carb on the H. An ultra-sonic parts washer is used to do the cleaning job. However, there IS a bit of a description given of what you can do to build you own SUB-sonic parts washer. The one I have has been used for literally dozens of carburetor service jobs....not only tractors, but motorcycles, lawnmowers and 4 wheelers as well. Very simple and inexpensive to build, the sub-sonics work quite well though not nearly as well as the high frequency ultra-sonic washers.
The project for today was not a carb 'rebuild' because #1): it was running pretty good to start with and #2: I didn't order a rebuild kit for it thinking a good cleaning would suffice. Now that its reassembled, all that's left is the 'cold start' of the old machine to see if it runs any better or not.
Long story short, it was just a horribly cold and windy day and it just seemed like a quick shop job would be the best thing to do. Besides, the carb has never been touched since I've had the tractor....and that's GOTTA be close to 9 or 10 years now. And most of that time was sitting in the woods on death row.... - Розваги
Reminds me of my grandfather's shop when I was a kid. Funny I was just working on my Great Grandfather's Farmall Cub (newer yellow version) in the 10 degree weather a few days ago. Tuning a new carb is getting the best of me.
Now that's really cool. First your G GrandFathers Cub and second the weather... I worked outside my entire career and am glad to not have to do it any longer !! If its a Chinese carb, you may be in for a treat. Sometimes they are fine, but according to a lot of Ford guys, they can be troublesome to get adjusted out. I bought one for a Husky leaf blower for $14 and its been absolutely perfect. Good luck with the project Ted Bob.
Bonsoir Sir, great tips on servicing that carburetor. I often use ultrasonic cleaner and they are great ! Great tips on how to built a cleaner ! Cheers !!!
Hey Dave, another viewer told me of using a palm sander for the vibration unit on a sub sonic washer. THAT's a good idea for sure !! I can't believe I never thought of that. LOL
Well done Wendell! Those ultrasonic cleaners are great getting parts clean as a whistle. Thanks for the tips on how to build a motor-driven cleaner too!
You know Martin, another viewer gave me another good idea. He used a small palm sander to use as the vibration source for his sub-sonic parts washer. That is a GOOD idea !!
@@tractorman4461 Yes it is a good idea! Thanks for sharing it!
Really a nice video my friend, my float ball leaked when I get my Farmall and did I had trouble to solder it, what I learned is when I solder the hole, the air inside the bowl expands of the heat and blow though the melted solder before it can stall and let me with hole again, Man that was trail and error to get the heat just right
I know exactly what your issue was Jan. What happened, the hole allowed a tiny amount of gasoline to enter the float. The simplest way to vent all the gas is to blow compressed air ACROSS the hole, which causes a vacuum inside the float. Too much air pressure will actually cause the float to collapse, so be careful if you have to do it again. But with the float sanded and ready to solder, have the heated iron, flux and solder ready. As soon as the venting of the gas is complete, immediately flux, heat and solder the hole quickly. Gently file the excess solder off (with a tiny file) so as not to effect the weight of the float to a great extent. Too much heat and solder will enter the float and effect its action as well. It's gotta be quick but it is very easy to do, depending on the location of the hole. Sometimes there is just no repair to it too.
@@tractorman4461 All make good sense, thanks for the information my friend
Would it help to suspend the float in a water bath?
@@OldSneelock I haven't thought of trying it that way, but they are so delicate and the brass is soooo thin it goes super quick. I just prop it in a rag or towel to mold quickly to the shape of the float, then hit it with the process. It's over in seconds....usually. But there's ALWAYS that one ya know....
Looking forward to the start-up of the Farmall. Thxs for the vids!
I'll get to it one of these days David. So many things continue to come up and now its butchering time again !!
That old H is getting it's much needed attention. I miss the H I bought from you...I sort of regret my friend talking me out of it. I go by his house a lot and I see it almost every time, he must be using it a lot because it's always in a different spot when I drive by. Ironically he still hasn't put on the gas tank back on it. I cleaned it and hadn't got to the point of putting it back on myself. He's still running it with the small temporarily tank I put on it over a year ago.
Ahhhhh....sellers remorse. LOL Heck, I've ran tractors for ten years on a temporary tank !! LOL He's probably like me, too many irons in the fire all the time. Heck, if you catch me in a moment of weakness, I may just sell you THIS one. But I wouldn't be nearly as cheap. Heck this one has the best set of tires I own !!
@@tractorman4461 There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works.
@@RodBeauvex Hahahahaha....yes, you are right. Most of the time my temporary tanks are old 30 pound freon jugs. They work quite well for a long time and hold enough gas to actually do a little work too. Thanks Rod for the chuckle.
Nice and clean and ready to fire up T! That's a little newer apparatus in the old shop. :)) Looks like it worked really well. have a great weekend out there- we are into deep freeze -30+ temps tonight. Time to bundle up!
Brrrrrr....I'm already shivering for ya !! LOL. Turn the t-stat up and pray the tank doesn't run dry tonight !! On cold nights, be just build a bigger fire. But then we are kinda cheap like that GP. I had another ultra-sonic for about ten years and I gave it to my son for his carb work after this new one came to me through my old buddy's estate. They are really efficient cleaners. Stay warm, and stay safe my friend !!
Several years ago I priced a subsonic cleaner, (I about needed one for my shorts $$$)! I took an old palm sander and an antifreeze jug with the side cut out, (machanic's bed pan), laid in the parts with parts cleaner, and set it on the sander. Works great but no heat. I've also found plastic coffee containers work well.
Doc
Yes, a palm sander would work perfectly for the source of vibration. I''m thinking that's a 3450 rpm which should send it really a jigging. My little 9watt motor at 1550 rpm takes a lot longer to shake it loose. But it worked well for me for many many projects. EXCELLENT idea Doc !!
That's is cold! Warm shop work is always better than working in the cold!
Well, I worked outside for over 40 years and I really like having the choice to not work in the cold now !! LOL.
One of cleaners is on my "must buy" list.
The Missus has a very small one for her jewelry. She balked at the idea of me using it when one day she came home and I was in the kitchen with a motorcycle carb testing for 'fit' . LOL She made me go to town and buy my own to save hers. That was ten years ago now and that one has been sent to my sons shop when this new one was given to me out of an old buddy's estate.
Should be interesting .to see if the rebuild did the job.....CHEERS
Yeah, you're right Gator. With that one big wad of spider nest in there, it's gotta at least run as good as it did. Maybe by accident it'll run better now. But it DID need a good deep clean.
The down draft on the flathead in the 8N had a drilled hole for the float bowl vent
Everything including a grass seed worked its way in and clogged the main jet.
I covered it with some mesh and no more invaders. 😁😎
@@OldSneelock Hahahaha....good play. I've used fine brass screen wadded up to stuff in the vents when necessary.
UA-cam's James Condon, the generator and small engine guru recommends gunsmith screwdrivers for carburetor jets. They have straight shanks to fit deeply recessed jets and a "concave shape, which allows the entire tip to fill the whole slot of a screw, also known as hollow ground".
That is another very good suggestion. Not being a gunsmith, I didn't know they had special hollow ground screw drivers. But it sure makes sense !! Now you know what's on my radar now don't ya...?? Thanks for the excellent tip.
Great video thanks
Thanks Tony...now if the tractor starts, I hope it will run at least as good as before !!
interesante esa limpiadora de carbohidratos
Es una gran herramienta para carburadores sucios mi amigo.
I too, like how effective these Ultra Sonic cleaners are good aren't they? I wish these were available "back in the day" when we were a dealer for Wisconsin Air Cooled engines.
Yes, they are a Godsend for sure when servicing a nasty carb. I learned of them when my daughter got her first job at 16 dismantling old clocks for our local clock repair shop. He had two of them from military surplus that were two foot square !!
That parts cleaner looks handy. I have been thinking about getting one just have not got around to it yet. Thanks for sharing the video.
Depending on the cleaning solvent you use, they work wonderfully well Wild Bill. And the Harbor Freight ones are so far pretty reliable. This one is brand new, but my son has my ten year old one and so far never a problem.
Good job buddy that should make the tractor run just fine you got all the parts in the right places I would have that all mixed up it would never run again good video take care have a great night
Well Tom, I am not too much of a Farmall guy so this carb was a little strange to me. But all the older updraft carbs work with the same principle and this thing really NEEDED a good cleaning !! Thanks for stopping in with a comment. I see by yesterdays comment that its really chilly up there.... Man, I hate cold weather.
@@tractorman4461 it's not near as cold today yesterday was unreal I said to the wife I don't know how I worked all those years driving loading and unloading in the cold I couldn't do that now guess l am just getting old getting a big storm here tomorrow 30 to 45 cms and very high winds that should be fun another reason am glad I am not driving have a wonderful weekend buddy take care if I need you to bring one of the tractors I will call lol talk later
Watching this 44 shop adventure was very informative indeed my 44 JO Friend! I was at the docs today and next Thursday he’s going to do an angioplasty on me legs and place stints in some veins or determine if he will need to do a by pass. Should be a blast! But your video gave me an idea! If I figure out how to get it in there, I could use that carb. cleaner but before eat a big plate of pinto beans, which would provide the vibration and clean out me system. So what do ya think of my scientific idea? If it works, think if the money people could save. Plus one may be able to use this method on other parts! Kidney stones? No worry! Bladder problems? A little dabble do ya! So what do ya think now, eh? So since I fell asleep mid way watching this adventure and rewatched the entire thing, I’m going to sleep on it and dream of the 44 vibration clinic where the Missus can make a mess of soup beans and corn bread as a prep for this process. Yep, I got lots of ideas! As I’ve always said, I have a huge brain with a 3” skull! This proves it I’d say! This is DaveyJO Anna I’m outta here heading for dreamland and more amazing ideas! A FINE weekend to yawall inna 44 Holler! I’ll be tipping in the morning! DaveyJO
Once again DaveyJO, your comment does not disappoint...LOL. I gotta admit, you DO have some pretty good ideas inside that conglomeration of gray matter you got in there. I'm thinking maybe when there's an opening up there at the Mayo-naise clinic, you'd be a likely candidate to fill in for just about any of those fancy doctors with the fancy titles....LOL Breakthrough treatments on the horizon I can see already !! Thank you my friend for always the good humor and sit back relax and obey your private nurse Alice's orders. Live to drink another cuppaJO on another day !!
Another interesting video.
It was a needed chore. I hadn't touched that carb in all the years that tractor has sat here.
Those small ultra sonic cleaners are great aren’t they! I use simple green aviation in mine at work for small carbs and stuff!
A few new videos up for you Wendel, enjoy!
Boy, they sure are a great invention for cleaning any number of items Pat. I'll have to swing by and see what Chris is up to....and of course...Dad too.
Just subbed your channel. Just wondering what you find is the best cleaner to put in the ultra-sonic cleaner, is it the carb cleaner. I am making some videos too. Trying out this youtube thing.
For carbs, I use a Berryman product called Chem Dip. It is the bomb !! It swells rubber about ten times the size though. It sure will burn you though. Thanks Mike for the sub. I'll go check out your channel too !!
MY bad wording I should have said was built by IH.
You know I didn't even know they built their own carbs. That's why I couldn't find a manufacturer on it. LOL. But I know they are easy to find rebuild kits for, especially with the number on the tag. Thanks Larry for the input. I like 'em all, but I mostly am a Massey Harris kinda guy.
Is there anything you can do or are you the type of person that will attempt almost anything. You like to Self sufficient and dont like to throw money away
Actually Richard, you kinda touched on kinda what I say my channel is all about up there under the 'ABOUT' key. I do know my limitations though but I do not throw money at something without looking at it first. Dive into it and heck, you might fix it by accident !!
You lost me at liters
Hahahaha.... that's funny. I have so many Canadians that comment, I must be getting used to the metric talk....LOL Its basically a 2 1/2 quart capacity. Thanks Russ for the visit and I will try to refrain from metric talk without converting it.
