This shows how the top link mount bolts on on my 1954 model. I wouldn't weld it on.

You sir are keeping me from getting lazy about going through my machine. That oil pick up screen was enough to put the "dump the sump" and pull the screen at the top of the list. Was just going to change the filter and oil and live with it until I hook up my new from india gen, oil pressure guage a...

I was looking through the workshop manual and saw the cover comes off the sump so you pull the oil pickup out to clean it. Even though I'd just changed the oil I was pretty keen on doing this as there was a lot of sludge and ick under the rocker cover. So I dropped my fresh oil and removed the oil f...

The tach seemed to somewhat work but you can't really see anything, it hard enough to just see the needle. That's not vapour on the glass, it was very hard to remove and somewhat like resin. https://i.imgur.com/G0NiCGF.jpg I pried the bezel off and got it apart. It's stuck on 695 hours, the plastic ...

Holy heck, impressive work there mate. A lot of time and effort in getting that all right. I haven't watched Jay Leno's stuff but there's a few Lambo tractors kicking around here. Years ago the radiator shop a couple of towns away was a Lambo dealer. There were lots of Italians in the area, they are...

Thanks fellas! :beer: Wow good work Sir. Nice to see your labor and time investment work out. Quite enjoy following your story about your tractor rescue. My injection pump delemma followed yours but you had better luck. Mine was rusted solid after 10 years of British Columbia weather. Can't wait to ...

I think getting an old engine started after its been stood up for a long time is the second most exciting thing you can do, good job. Dave :beer: I certainly agree! Though I'm not sure I want to ask what you consider no.1! :lol: :beer: Some super glue and tape fixed the radiator hose and we were aw...

Do you know about the excess fuel button ? its on the bottom of the stop lever in your picture, push it in and it should flick back out when the engine starts. Good luck, your going the right way about it, nice and methodical and a bit of ingenuity,I`m sure you`ll get it going soon. Dave Hey Dave. ...

I had another crack at the old girl today. I got the rocker gear all back together and started work on the pump. It was only not getting fuel to cyl 4 today. I pulled the side cover off and it's pretty grimey in there. Plunger 4 was stuck up in its bore and the fuel rack was jammed in place. I loose...

I got quite a bit done on it this arvo but I ran out of light. No start yet but she's turning over well and the injectors are back in. I stuck a battery in and blew the ATF mix out of the cylinders. You might be able to see the vapour leaving cylinders 2&3. You can also see a bit of how the loader w...

Nice find To bar mine over when I got a hydraulic lock due to a head gasket leak I found a right angle bend socket extension bar and a few straight extensions just fitted in the starting handle dogs and cleared the side rails. Glad to see another ATF & Acetone convert :) Loader looks unusual, will ...

Hey fellas. The other week I was offered a Major for $100. The story is it's a 1958 (I believe it's earlier than that, it has a 7.0mm pump which I think means Mk1 engine?) and this fella bought it in 1960! He reckons it was last used 4 years ago but it seems like longer than that to me. https://i.im...
