    Wiring for 70

    I am but I cannot determine their gauges, call me challenged I am guessing there are 3 different guages involved. The loom is completely rotten and some of the wire are brittle, I figured it would look a lot nicer with a new wiring job.

    Wiring for 70

    What guage wire makes upthe bulk of the wires for a 70? I have lots of wire and cannot see spending what it costs for a new harness.

    Not a loose fit I have to tap it in place the last 1/8". Where did you place the zerk on your axle?

    Yes you did and that is a great suggestion, I fianlly got he channel straightened out so that the pins goes in and out a lot easier.

    Shot the last of the yellow this morning, overall pretty pleased with my efforts. I know that do to my inexperience I used twice as much paint as someone that knows what they are doing. I also know that I needed a lot more light than what I had. All I have left to paint now is the hood which is...

    You are right about the patience, lesson learned. It has been a long time since I last painted and this is my first time using a HPLV Gun. I have enjoyed working on it though.

    Thanks I am happy with it. I used the Iron Gard Federal Yellow and 935 White with PPG High Gloss Enamel Hardener JH 6002. You will have to dial me regarding the front axle C channel as I did not do anything with it.. Hard to belive that Portage is next month already, this past year went really...

    Have finally been able to get some painting done, pretty happy with the results so far. I need a lot better lighting the fenders ended up with some really bad runs and will have to be redone.

    This is the first decent week I have had to sandblast parts. Was moving right along when this urethane gasket on my pot totally disintregated. I have had this pot for over 20 years now and it seems that the gasket is way beyond its expiration point. Pricey little item $60.00. I purchased a...

    I live just South of Iowa City Iowa. I have come to the conclusion with the help of some of the folks on this board that I probably do not have to do a full blown overhaul. The bore looks pretty good. Thanks for posting your reply.

    Any John Deere owners???

    That thing is a beast, I have never seen a bushhog pulled behind a garden tractor.

    Yes patience. What happened was I took my first real good look at the plug threads. I am learning that in all honesty there is not a lot to the motor.

    Good news it broke loose this morning! The threads look really good. The threads however for the spark plug do not look so great. Slowly but surely I am making progress.

    Taking a trip

    Getting ready to travel over towards Cleveland Ohio and thought I would check out the FB Marketplace for Cubs that will be near my route. Of course I found several that I would love to have but as much as I would like to have a shop full of tractors it's just not going to happen. In the course...
