SOHC Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 As far as I am concerned this is finished, fitted new starter solenoid, replaced the fuel pump with a B&S pulse pump as the Kohler pump was $400 fucking dollars, I had to make a blanking plate for the old mechanical pump. And I have fixed the wiring with all new connections and I wired the hour meter up, checked the tappets and rebuilt the carb. I still need a new air filter. There is one last job that can be done at a later stage and that is withdraw the rear axles and replace the seals, I will drive it into the shed at some stage and do that on the stands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Well as far as i am concerned its not finished untill there is a pic of a well earned beer with a freshly vintage-lawn-tractored lawn in the background... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Pretty sure he doesn't touch beer though. But having a tiny tractor to make small tread patterns on the lawn is still cool though. Who am i kidding, drive it lots of places for a laugh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 It was re branded and made in England and in the US and Australia, mine is the Australian model they used a lot of automotive components, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I found how to get the rear axles out, RH axle is a short tube and the LH is a long solid shaft and runs right through the diff and then through the hollow RH axle, a big split pin and washer holds everything together. I should be able to pull them out and wack in new seals and bearings. I drove over to a friends place on it this afternoon, if you let the clutch out a little bit too fast the front wheels will come off the ground, and it dosnt matter if the engine is at idol or full throttle, I think towing a trailer on steep or uneven ground would be dangerous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 I want to replace the diff in this with a car diff or something, I would need some kind of 90 degree bevel drive to link the gearbox witch is parallel with the diff, what kind of car has a realy narrow diff?

Mof Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A really narrow car I'll show myself out... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Morris 8 or early Ford Defect? Morris Minor ones are common I guess, but not super narrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 I might just flick this off, I am board with it now, its too wide in the rear end for around my place, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 But I was thinking it would be good to improve the whole drive line and get rid of the chain drive and replace the diff with a car diff and then have a brake for each wheel so you could lock up the side witch is skidding to swap the drive to the other side like other tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
