Great. Might have overpaid😂

Nope. Like any starter, you just need to make sure you don’t crank it forever and give it a good break to cool down between starting attempts. Since the voltage doubles, the speed will double. So if your starter spins 200rpm @6v it will spin 400rpm @12v. I’ve got a Farmall C and an Allis Chalmers WD45 that barely need the starter bumped because of how much faster it spins

That’s not a bad idea. Since that flex seal is so much thicker, it would cover and smooth the pitting way better than just paint would

Haha I like it. Too bad they don’t have blankets too. Happy thanksgiving to you too!

Thanks! Just have to wait until it’s 60° warmer to finish spraying the tin work😭

@Tractor-Roy yeah I'm in the same boat lol

Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. However, it still works with the 6v solenoid and for as long as it’s engaged it’ll most likely last a long time

I don’t have any Minnie’s in the fleet quite yet. That yellow tractor is a Farmall H made from 1945-1947 when IH mixed yellow oxide with their paint so the red pigment would stretch farther

It’s got a TA but it’s either out or needs adjusted to work

That’s a good point. However I do prefer rowcrops over utilities. I just think utilities look strange. Probably why I’m not a fan of N-series Fords

2 coats primer and 3 coats paint

I’ll have to try that. That would for sure be much easier!

He climbs all over all of them. He won’t let anyone even start them if he’s not up there too!

@@Tractor-Roy Cool.

I know it! Luckily we have other ones that are running so he can get some tractor rides in for the time being😂

Sure did. It’s easier doing it this way than building a booth with ventilation inside

Yes. I should have showed checking it, but the old float has a hole in it so I got a new float to go in

I only got bit by the tractor bug last year but I sure am enjoying it!

@@Tractor-Roy Yep, and if you have to sell, the payback is really goid

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy 😂😂

you cant warm it up if your shit is rock solid goofy

@@airr8800he said robbed half the horsepower like that shit ain’t gonna become more malleable even it warms up. Stfu you sound dum

Just gasket maker, these are driven from a bull pinion off the differential, not straight out of the differential like on the 8n I did

*it’s a straight cut bull pinion gear meshing with a straight cut bull gear. The thrust of the bull gear is taken up by the inner axle bearing. There’s around 1/8”-1/4” of play for that bull gear to mesh with the bull pinion. I made sure everything was meshing right and spinning freely. I absolutely didn’t want to pull this apart again to do it over😂

​@@Tractor-Royit looks like a pain in the ass tbh. Is that much gear lash normal? Seems excessive? I'm guessing there's no adjustment to it?

Sorry I mean I could move the axle and housing in and out of the rear housing between 1/8” and 1/4” and not change the mesh of the gears. I could put no gasket on or a 1/4” thick gasket and it wouldn’t change the mesh of the gears. The tooth depth isn’t adjustable on this end of things. It just is what it is

@Tractor-Roy interesting, I've got an M on my channel as well. Axle seal is leaky so I'll have to fix that when I get a chance.

Uh oh. How hard are parts to come by for it? Are you braising the housing back together?

@Tractor-Roy Hello, we bought an American M parts tractor, and all the bits we needed are good. The BMD (British M Diesel) uses the same rear end as the American M. I spent a bit of time checking part numbers, etc.

Oh yeah I will. I had a weed sprayer soaking the thick spots in the bottom last night

That method works surprisingly well. I’ve had some nasty junk come out after draining it the first time

Fresh? Nah. This stuff still has some life left in it!

Oh yeah that’s the plan. Fill er up and drive a few minutes, drain and throw in fresh stuff. Minimal elbow grease that way

Maybe with black food coloring thrown in🤣

We were joking about chip sealing the gravel driveway with it😂

My guess is that it’s been in there for a very very long time. As the additives and oil broke down from use and sitting it started congealing. Could be from water too, but any time I’ve seen water it makes it milky, not tar

I have an old 9n that I drained when I got it and it was the old sae 90 and it drained out a little better than that but I had to use a puddy knife and rinse with diesel to get sludge out, it was almost like clay

@dodgemechanic when I pulled the pto out, I used a paper towel to see how bad it would be to clean up. It was at least a 1/4” thick film. I’ll probably try and use diesel in a weed sprayer to get what I can, and then run diesel in it for a little after it’s back together. A putty knife honestly sounds terrible😂

@Tractor-Roy a weed sprayer was what I used, just kinda sprayed it towards drain

Thanks! Finally getting somewhere after staring at it all summer
