Thanks! It's my primary mowing rig at the moment. Thought about buying a new zeroturn this year, but with the cost to buy new and how well these old things are built I think I'll keep this one going as long as I can.
I like the grease. If it collects dust and dirt, that's just extra protection, I figure. It can't work its way through to get in the way. I have an old Grand Cherokee I get sprayed with FluidFilm so it can continue to survive the winters, and boy does that stuff attract a lot of grime, but as long as it's filthy you know the goop is still there, doing its job.
Great video, I just bought the same tractor. I think the throttle cable on it is missing parts. I could use some help finding parts and manuals. If you ever do any work on the carburetor I’d love to see that video.
spare.avspart.com/catalog/newholland/64992/5290761/ This is the site I use for parts schematics. Parts can be hard to come by, but best bet is to copy and paste the part number of what you need into google and grab it from wherever has it. If theres something you desperately need but cant find, a new holland dealer should be able to help you out. I've seen manuals on ebay for $100, but these are relatively simple machines and I havent had the need for a manual yet to be honest. The kohler KT17 is a great engine, just be sure to keep up on the oil changes and it should treat you well and last awhile. Guaranteed the carb will eventually show up on the channel. Seems I get into the carbs on everything I own sooner or later whether I want to or not lol. Thanks for checking out the channel and I hope your ford treats you well!
Great video 😎👍
Thanks Mike!
oh mann, I haven't seen a new video of an old mower in a long time, that my friend is beautiful machine, nice job in taking care of her.

That's a good point. You can always wipe off old grease and apply new. Much harder to get rid of corrosion.

Use a meter to check it ???
Sand the spades
Definitely couldve checked continuity but figured if I tossed it back in and it still didnt work I'd just hardwire it and ditch the switch altogether.
