Yup watched it! Derek had a time with it, "locked up tighter than Alcatraz"

Never heard about water in the tires. I'll ask my farmer about this when I talk to him next. I learn something new here all the time.

The valve stems are actually designed for air or water

That has way nicer sheet metal than mine. Wish I had a starter, other than me.

Probably don't need it, you guys have these.
We just have these.

D10 update. The starter has been rebuilt but is back at the starter shop, the nose come that replaced the original needs to be modified to work on the D10, it will be a week or so before I get it back.

Meanwhile the engine is about done. All that is left is installing the radiator and hoses and connecting up the fuel system. The tank I got has a small place that needs to be sealed and it needs to be painted. I changed the oil, it had a small amount of water in it, maybe 1/2 a cup.

Along with the tank next I will be working on the gauges and front 1/2 of the tractor, cleaning it up and painting.

I watched it last night, man that place was huge.

 

[77cruiser]

Did they say 160 acres?

 

[Chevelle_Nut]

Yes!

Loved that!! So much to note, but the shear massiveness of the plant reigns key. Got a kick out of the line workers wearing farmer bibs. I've been in so many factories similar in size of some of those buildings, but not the entire complex. Again, makes me want a tractor badddddd.

Picking up the D10's starter from the shop tomorrow evening. If the weather is decent this weekend I will try to do some more work on it. I need to find a place that can boil a gas tank.

The old son of a bitch fired up! Working on installing the radiator and cooling system hoses.

A little rough starting but she is up and running.

Awesome! Sounds great. Is the timing slightly advanced?

Distributer shaft is worn, wobbles so the timing is slightly off.

Can you refit with new bushings (most likely brass)?
