Welcome to the forum. :D Do you have any pics? Are you saying that the alt is missing or that you can't find it? Could this have the charge type where a dynamo is used? Motorola builds an alternator that is internally regulated and is smaller than the GM style. I am a GM guy and I think that...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the orange tractor. In this picture, notice the small square cover with four 10mm screws, right in front of the light blue rag. Remove that cover and make sure that the pin/peg of the fuel rack can move. If the rack is all the way toward the rear of the...

Thanks, and welcome to the forum. :D:D:D:D

P.S. I said I would never......................... uh ....................let me qualify that; in drag racing there is a practice of using silicone on both sides of a "solid copper" head gasket but this is also done with great control of the application. I have done this and it came to me as...

KW makes a spray on material (and there are other spray ons too) that helps to seal gaskets but that is the only other thing I know that is accepatable. I'm with you on the silicone idea...:confused::confused::confused::confused:...........Felpro also discourages such a practice for a host of...

I got the fan today so maybe this weekend I will fire it off, ..............if I can. I have been sick all week and the engine blew up in my Buick so I haven't gotten anything done except find an engine and sleep. Now the whole house is sick............ I've never seen an infant throw-up...

YES ................... TIP ................. be sure to mark the flywheel bolt hole with the crank, you can shoot paint in a hole to mark it, so you get it back in the proper place. The flywheel can bolt to the crank in ANY position so be sure to mark it if you have to take it off for the rear...

I think a block heater would work fine. It could also stay in a heated shed. Some here use a 50/50 mix and it does fine for them in winter months. The temp would go up with antifreeze but I haven't logged exactly how much yet.

Cook Tractor is where I found a good hood for my L175. The tractor house is a place that has many yards and businesses in one place to check with. Also you can do a google search for used tractor parts and come up with more places to check than you can call or email to in one day.

Sometimes air bubbles are not so easy to see. In these cases a little tool that NAPA usually carries called a "block tester" is a perfect way to test for hydrocarbons in the coolant system. It is not very costly, around $25-30 and works very well in "sniffing" out failed head gaskets, cracked...

Nice healthy moto!!!;) I believe the only stupid question is if you already know the answer. If you don't know the answer then it is school time :D:D;);) Anyway.......... I am going to log some temps with mine after I get it going. Since there is no temp guage I have installed a temp kit to...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the orange tractor. Nice. :D:D

That low ohm of 4.2 sounds either good or high for the coil. It should be low. The rectifier is where the high and low side should be when the leads are switched.

Definately check the rectifier and connections. My first B6000 had a connection issue that I had to resolve.....................but that was before I found this forum.

Can the cover be removed to observe conditions while the engine is running? You might be able to see the source or sling path such at the rear main seal or if the oil is running into there from a different place. If I remember correctly the oil pressure passage through the block and head is...

If a cylinder does not fire it can pull up oil past the rings. More oil also if there is a broke ring, failed head gasket letting oil pressure through it or a cracked head. The biggest cause of mechanical problems in the L175/185 is overheating due to lack of cooling. Also check your...

There is NO water pump!!!!!!!!!!!!! That system is designed for WATER ONLY!!!!!!!!!! The system has many names; perk, thermal differention, syphon, *&%$#@!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D With water, the system is quite stable at 212° and needs a good seal on the system to retain pressure. Antifreeze resists...

Congrats OB1 !!!! Now I think I have a good idea where you work. I know one major builder that fits that description and I work on their stuff almost every day. Ooops, sorry, :D:D:D:D this is tractors. :D:D

patrick What did you decide to do on this tractor????

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the Orange :):):):) Did ob1kubota help you out or did you get it worked out? Lots of great knowledge here.
