in the video when it first started (in your post #603) I noticed that the whole fuel limit assembly was unscrewing when it ran. So I assume that it is really loose and needs to be properly adjusted and then tightened up. How is that done? I have no idea!

Got rest of parts close to clean and then paint

20240924_094614.jpg


Got 2 pallets close to tractor, brought all parts that need blue including front axle using 3 point lift on bx1500

@Russell King

in this image, I try to show yall how that adjustment works; that nut adjust the point that stop the fork from going too far forward

I think I pulled it out too far, and it allowed the fork to go too far forward, and let the pin on the injection pump come OUT of its slot

What happens if I try to run it with this port open, and the other port that shows the injection pump latch? That way, I can monitor what happens and we can get to solving this area

My suspicion: if idling and not too high rpm, it shouldn't be pushing out too much oil out of these ports and it should be possible to make the idle adjustment with these ports open

I know we saw oil come out of them during the runaway but maybe thats because the rpm was high and oil pressure very high

Move parts to pallet in shade, first cleaning: brush them with diesel brush, get the big stuff with files, hit with compressed air

20240924_114004.jpg


Files and brush in bucket of diesel

20240924_114032.jpg


Upgrade to the solvent puddle: if left open, it evaporate and is lost

I put in jar that closes, now it last longer and keep close when you need clean hand

20240924_230340.jpg


Hit parts to paint with: compressed air with file, then soaked in diesel with big paint brush, then wire wheels

20240924_230401.jpg


Lift axle with bx1500, do that cleaning I narrated

20240925_004039.jpg


Hit front axle with everything

20240925_011402.jpg


All parts ready to be painted blue

20240925_011504.jpg


Paint gun: 32 ounce canister

Next: hit everything with compressed air, part cleaner, poke hole in enamel blue gallon, pour into paint canister, water it down with paint thinner, go through and hit all parts from all angle, small mist no runs

I haven't looked at paint, hopefully it match

Spread all parts on pallets, hit with cleaner then paint

20240925_151147.jpg


Spread all parts on 3 pallets close to tractor

20240925_151209.jpg


Took off more from engine, hit it one more time with 6 inch soft wire wheel, 1000 rpm

20240925_151335.jpg


Back of tractor before cleaning and paint



Up close video of everything after 1 hit of part cleaner

20240925_173352.jpg


Put tape over area you don't want paint

20240925_180213.jpg


Enamel, paint thinner, drill holes in paint can, mix into canister

20240925_180608.jpg

First coat

@Ktrim

Paint gallon is shown in picture next to paint thinner, match perfect

Put 2nd coat on everything, going through with headlight aiming paint gun up underneath machine, watch your fingers

Don't use all the paint, tomorrow flip all the parts etc and get the other side


20240925_213721.jpg


Put 2nd coat on everything, still half gallon left of paint, put coat of black paint on air housing

Now that paint detour done, now I need put energy into planning forward:

hone in on the governor/injection pump latch/fork situation/front adjustment

I'm thinking: take out governor spring to remove the cover, try to pry up forks so it hold the latch better, if you cannot pry up fork, take out injection pump to get better leverage on the fork

Front adjustment bolt: I remember taking it out completely, I did alter the adjustment, I would need to either look at WSM and tinker with it until it is figured out

There is another adjustment, on the other side, that also has spring on it, that one was not touched

They even put plastic cover over them to keep them in place

Plan: get it to where the latch stay inside the fork, tinker with the front adjustment until you get it somewhat in its place, put intake manifold on for the choke plan like yall advise, try to get her started again with those ports open to keep eye on the latch of the injection pump, making sure it stay in the fork and not go right/full throttle, then

if successfully started and not running away, then make adjustment on the front pin that stop the fork front going too far forward, get it to idle at the desired rate

Huge task yall can advise on, I have been thinking about this for awhile, but recently have needed it.

I have 55 gallon barrels, they have thread on them, one big and one small to let air out. I want to use them as holders of different solvent, and would have a sealed line coming out of them and it would go to a lightweight small hose gun that I use to do whatever.

The hose would retract from high area so it stays off the ground, it would be small and lightweight, it would go far distance. Does not have to be high pressure. I can use small pump.

They would be holding solvent, plumbing coming out of them, going to a central pump, with switches depending on which tank I want to pull from. Also to fill them up, I take pickup truck and get get the solvent, and I want a way to pump out of them and into the barrel I want without too much effort/mess.
Tons of time/energy is wasted so far on this project these past few months in the handling of the solvent, tipping over barrels, carrying 5 gallon cans, etc. It is inefficient and it would help move the show forward.

Talk to me generally about this setup. Going into the barrels, it would need a siphon that pulls from bottom of barrel. How would setup the shaft that is tight to the line, and also screws onto the top of the barrel? I soon draw diagram outlining the whole thing.

Also, it is important for it to be easy to fill them back up without taking out all the plumbing

N.Y,
With all that sand I can't believe it came out so nice. You live in a desert area?

Looking good.
The exhaust pipe/muffler is going to burn it's paint off pretty quick when you get it running.
