Hahahahaha....back to the future...LOL good one Jan. Yeah, I've got at least a half dozen SC cards filled with videos I haven't had the chance to edit yet. Some never will now.
I would check the ignition switch to make sure that the ignition circuit opens when shut off. If not it can burn it can burn those points while the tractor not running, depending on their position.
The old tractor had a rough life before I got it for sure. It was a mess !! The damage was terrible. I hope the guys that stole the parts off of it and destroyed it are really happy with their bounty.
I've seen so many of the old tractors with jury-rigged wires, splices without insulation, wires left un-secured that contact the exhaust manifolds/pipes or engine block, etc. that short out over time. You always do it the correct way, and route and secure parts as they should be, in the clear without risk of heat damaging the insulation. Likewise, ground wires ALWAYS have to be secured and properly connected to eliminate loss of contact, which causes all sorts of strange electrical issues. The other thing I notice on old tractors, is where people don't use metal fuel lines from the tank to the carb, and they wind up melting against the hot parts which is a real fire hazard, and a failure point, for sure.
A lot of 'new' old tractor owners don't realize is how much trouble a bad ground provides for sure. The worst thing a guy can do that gets grandpas old tractor that hasn't run in 15 years is to strip out all the points, condensor, coil and buy a carb kit and do it ALL before getting it to run first. They introduce a dozen new potential points of failure. I always try to get them running with what's there before stripping it all down to nothing. I use flexible gas line hose on occasion, but usually its kept at a minimum. I change a lot of them to copper and sometimes I'll use brake line. But that gets to be an issue too...but that's a different story. I really do try to zip tie wires out of the way as much as possible and use a lot of the flexible split wire protecting sheath as well.
Hey Wendell! Now THAT’S a fancy temporary fuel tank! I’ve got one of those zip tie tools for the big ductwork zip ties and some of the zip ties. Very handy to have for situations just like this. You’re going to leave me in suspense as to whether it starts or not? Oh well, you can be sure I’ll be back for part 2. Thanks for sharing!
That zip tie tool is probably 30 years old, actually older than that. Probably from '81 or '82 at least. I don't know why I stopped the video so abruptly except there's over an hour to each one. LOL. I did a lot of cutting and intend to do the same on part 2. Thanks for the visit Martin.
Man yeah, I am digging these older videos Mr Wendell!! I am looking fwd to part 2, brings back memories of the 641 workmaster 😁😁 That tank is amazing!!! Love the exhaust pipe😉😉 Thank you sir for bringing us along, looking fwd to seeing what's next!! 😁😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
My buddy that's a Cub Cadet and Mahindra tractor dealer had a couple extra gas tanks and made the donation to me. One thing about it, it won't rust anytime soon !! I've got quite a few SD cards filled with unedited videos from early on. I just couldn't keep up with the editing. I'll never get to most of them though...but one will slip in ever so often. Thanks for the visit.
Thanks Zane...part 2 might turn out better....I'm still not done with editing yet. Have a great day enjoying the mild weather. Actually, its a steady rain over here at the moment.
I liked that tank...It was just about to get interesting and then it`s over for now.....Just like on TV.... you're keeping us in suspense....well done....CHEERS
Good Morning Tom. I hope all is well up North. Really mild down here, almost like an early Spring. This should've been a single video...I don't know why I just stopped right there. Oh well, part 2 coming soon.
Yes Matt, and they work perfectly fine on the thinner zip ties too, just can't squeeze as tightly. It'll break them very easily. www.amazon.com/Knoweasy-Tensioning-Cutting-Plastic-Fasteners/dp/B08FR639VX/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1Z4R9VG3XL3N0&keywords=malco%2Bzip%2Btie%2Btensioner&qid=1676496381&sprefix=malco%2Bzip%2Btie%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-3&th=1 This is one variation.
Tm44 I like em ole Ford tractors, but then I like all brands. Ain't that about the time Ford started the two stage clutch and Live Power on the PTO? I used to have an old 9 N 1939 model. Loved the old girl but they only had hydraulics when the PTO was engaged. Ran good but I never trusted the hydraulics.
I'm not sure exactly when the two stage clutch/live power came into the picture Dean, but I do know the 000 series after this series ran its course has it as an option. I had two 4000's that had 'em. That brings up a point...after all the work I did on the 2000 I've never checked it for a two stage clutch. I don't really use bush hogs or other pto driven implements so its not too much of a concern for me anyway. I helped my Much Older Brother reinstall his flywheel on the JD 301 and it has a 2 stage, but its also an early '70's model. Tractors advanced a lot between '60' and '70.
Hey Wendell this is off topic but somewhere along the line I missed why you always refer to your brother as “my much older brother” I’m thinkin’ that there’s a humorous story behind that🤔 Looking forward to part two of this one.
Hahahaha...he's 12 years my senior and all the women tell him I look older, so I stress that he's my Much Older Brother. LOL He eats it up !! The ladies ALWAYS like him better than me..he's got that boyish smile. (-;
Hi tractor man this video reminds me I haven't solved the alternator problem on my 1976 international 140 the alt.is putting out 15.4 volts is this to high
It's generally suggested that the alternator shouldn't put out above 14.5 or 14.6 volts Lee. If its a Delco internally regulated alternator, there could be a problem internally. 15.4 could boil your battery dry. Have you double checked the reading with a second digital voltmeter? 'There's a slight possibility the output reading isn't accurate...slight.
@@leepatton1180 Battery static voltage at rest for a fully charged battery is 12.6. The reading at the battery will increase once the engine is started and alternator output begins. If it goes to 15.4 at the battery while running, that is a bit much indicating a possible internal issue with the internal regulator.
@@leepatton1180 I'm pretty sure that's all I run when using delco. Usually about 50 to 60 bucks for a cheap 55 amp. But I use denso one wires on some of them too. I like the very small diameter. Only 4 1/2" and they don't interfere with the metal on the Farmalls. I think the last one of those I bought was 42 bucks. If I were you I'd ask a trusted counter man at the auto parts store if there's a simple way to check the alternator. Our local NAPA will bench test for you.
Well he'll be interesting to see what more you have to do to it in order to get it to start if anyting. Hanako who was a GM mechanic. But he could fix any import and it only took about 5 minutes. A John Deere guy might tell you the same thing. You always have to start with your import or non John Deere tractor working on it at top of the hill. First thing you do is take the radiator cap off. Put it in neutral and give a shout down the hill so it flies downhill goes off the cliff. You just fixture import car. Or your Ford tractor. The removal of the radiator cap it so you can put it on the wall. 🤣🤣🤣. Oh just have a little bit of fun. Besides I own a couple of imports and I own two Ford tractors. I am partial to my John Deere as impractical as that one is.
Hahahahaha....that's kinda what my auto mechanic buddy always said about Fords: Jack up the windshield wipers and drive a new car under 'em. LOL This is a three year old video I didn't get around to editing yet. That's how close I am to being caught up !!
@@tractorman4461 it just gets back to whatever you like I suppose. But I seem like a good sampling of all of them. You had mentioned in your video I was 3 years ago. But I was thinking they were little bit more current for the most part. Just make sure your vehicles now have a gas gauge. Our gal half container gases back of the pickup bed.
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983 Yeah...I'm not too concerned about brands...all of them have really good vehicles or tractors or motorcycles and all of them have some pooches. For sure. But there are guys that argue brand on all levels as the best there is.
Very nice Wendell, thanks for taking us back into the future, looking out for part 2👌👍

Good point !! That's easy enough to verify. I've had that happen before.

Baking brownies just waiting for the follow-up video. Good looking new fuel tank!1
Oooohhh !! I LIKE brownies. LOL Part 2 coming about the time another batch of brownies are done.... Ok, well maybe not quite THAT fast.
When it warms up a bit, i have to do a similar diagnosis on my old Massey 33.
