Always a good time watching y'all! I have installed bushings on a few warn out throttle shafts and saved an otherwise trash carb. It might come to that in to future for you.
I have a feeling it will so I keep everything. I've thought of working on one now to keep a spare rebuilt carb on the shelf. So far, experience tells me that the throat on the main throttle body is the biggest problem. Rust appears to do a lot of damage inside of there.
I'm so glad to hear you using sensor safe thread sealant on that Zenith carb! That's a common mistake when overhauling Zenith carbs. That baby is gonna purr when you get through.
Hi Aaron, to insall the carby easily remove the bowl but leave the bolts in, then bolt down the carby as it is easy to get to the nuts motor and you dont have to remove the governor then reinstall the bowl. Yep done this quite at as well, and have a 4g
That is definitely great advice I wish I had earlier. We are about a month and a half ahead on videos and you'll see did I run into that install problem, 😂. Appreciate it, and you better believe I will he that advice in the future!
Good story was trying to start my father-in-law's old D4 and the carburetor was shot so my brother-in-law had a scrap pile outside the barn and I was walking past the scrap pile I found a new carburetor on a manifold! Didn't even take it apart believe it or not started right up and didn't even have to adjust it purr like a kitten😊
I've heard a horror story after horror story about these carburetors. But for all those stories so many of the parts on the D4 are very forgiving. But sometimes ya' just get lucky. 😊
I was in the Coast Guard from 72 to 76 in 1975 and 76. I was stationed at bodega Bay that’s north of San Francisco about 70 miles most of the fisherman there were from Italy one of the guys who was in World War II in the American army and lost his right arm in action.He had a small boat with a one cylinder Budde diesel engine and everybody called him the lefty because he had no right arm😮
I bet that 1 cylinder diesel had a very unique sound. Something tells me he probably found quite a bit of peace trolling around on that little boat. 😊 Much appreciated Tom, and if I never said it before thanks for your service!
In total if you paint everything piece by piece we are around 4 to 4 1/2 gallons. I highly recommend using an automotive paint with a hardener. The "tractor" paints do not cover very well and are very soft. We've also had difficulties obtaining more of the "tractor" paint. We got halfway through and couldn't get what we had been using. Hope this helps and best of luck.
If im not mistaken the pot metal carburetor is originally unpainted? Except for the cast iron base? Not to say you messed up cause bare metal and pot metal corrodes like crazy. So in that sense I can understand why you painted it over.
I can't say for certain how they came from the factory. So far everyone I have taken off of a machine has had the remnants of paint on it. Either way the enemy of corrosion is my friend. 😊
@@lifeafterourloss That clears it, I had a different impression but I can't see all the fine details from the video. Or be right were the machine is build. So thanks for letting me know what is factory and what not. From personal experience the older the pot metal the more fragile and corrosion they accumulate. Sometimes the corrosion is just not a reversible process.
@SuperMAZ007 I think in a lot of cases it was just overspray and lack of preparation on 2nd and 3rd coats of paint over the years. I know cat wasn't overly concerned with getting paint in every nook and cranny on brand new machines.
That same backward carb is on my ‘51 D6
That's interesting, I assumed it was specifically for John Deere. That sounds like justification for me to buy a D6 though, 😉.
@@lifeafterourloss you won’t regret it! 👍
@@lifeafterourloss 🤣😂🤣
Broken record here… she’s lookin great! 👍🏻
We appreciate broken records at LAOL, 😊
Always nice to see Big Stripes!
As always, enjoyed.

😂, you can't be too careful!
The big moment is near, i am waiting to hear them start, pony and diesel.
Closer and closer... That flex tape is good stuff for temporary fixes.
Getting closer and closer. I sure have enjoyed watching this build from the beginning. The wasp edit had me rolling 😂. I hate those things !

When are you going to slick up that stash and handlebar up?👌🏼 that would look bad ass.
I did for the 52 Ford video, 😊. It's kind of a pain when I'm working in the shop. Especially with welding. I'll do it again though. 👍
Lol at the end you sounded like a salesman on the home shopping network😂😂😂😂

great job
Flex tape..
Strips was not impressed! 😅
It is very gimmicky but I have found a lot of uses for it. Her claws definitely hurt. I do take that as a very strong opinion on Flex tape. 😺
If it works, it’s not wrong.
To those other mechanics out there, a good sonic cleaner is an oxygen air for a fish tank.
Tape it on the outside of the container hose in the liquid.
Excellent tip!
@@lifeafterourloss Definitely! I just got a new one and I'm going to make that happen before I put it in service.
How many carbs did you go through? 🤯
Sadly, about three of them until I found one that would work.
air tight
👍 👍 great
👍👍👍Al Gorithm comment👍👍👍
We'll take it. Much appreciated! 😊
I am getting ready to restore a d4 7u and was wondering how much paint you use for this restore?
