 |  11:59 05/19/16 Back from the dead.When I bought her the previous owner told us she had a bad head gasket. He had started to tear into her, but then ran out or ambition. So I bought the gasket set, a battery, new hoses and new belts.
Replaced the head gasket and found that all that was wrong was a bad water tube that was leaking next to head....
Replaced the water tube and re-plumbed the LP vaporizer since the lines were all rusted out. Filled her with water, then found I needed to recore the radiator.
Fired her up again and no hydraulics. The P.O. had removed the pump, reinstalled it wrong and broke it.... So I had it rebuilt. Fired her up again.
No low end torque but she sounds beautiful. Replaced generator with alternator. Drove her around until the rear tire went flat. New tube and three boots later fired her up again to take to the field.
The teloflow hydraulics leak... a lot. The engine oil filter blew out its' gasket (never seen that before). Then after about another 20 acres she died...
It seems we have numerous oil leaks, still no low end on the torque (it didn't heal itself...) and when we put the head back on we pinched the insulation through on the distributor wire....
Had I simply bought one and made payments on my credit card it would have been cheaper,,,,,, just not as much fun.

What are Project Journals?
Project Journals are a place where YT Community members can document their tractor and farm projects. Each journal created, can have many photos and accompanying text entries. You can also enable comments to allow other members of the YT Community to comment on your journal. If you do enable comments, it is up to you to moderate what people enter in your journal according to the site policy of Yesterdays Tractors. Journals may also be used as photo posting area, to post your photos of your farm, tractors and related photo topics. If you would like to create a journal, just be sure you are logged in to the Classic View of the forums, and a link will appear to do so when you next come to this page.
