    RTV silicone?

    I squeeze a little out and then put a piece of aluminum foil over the top and then screw the lid down on top. Then I put it in a plastic bottle with a large lid, I do the same with JB Weld. It works for me, maybe because I use it once a month or so.

    Home built compression tester

    Valve lash was set not too long ago. Timing is set at 0. I might try advancing the timing. I suspect it is a bad injector or low compression. How much compression did your engine have?

    I bought a starter from them and I just put the old starter back in the box and put on the shipping label that they provided.There was no extra shipping charges.

    Home built compression tester

    I need one for a 550 Ford backhoe. I was going to go to the fuel injection shop in Greeley to see if they had an old one. The engine misses on one cylinder till it gets warmed up.

    Pondering spray Guns

    Buy automotive paint! The tractor paint will be dull in one year! Preparation is 90 percent of a paint job! Use your hand, if you can feel any ripple, you need more body work! After you get it close with body putty, spray it with sanding primer. and sand it. Don't use the sealer type...

    Pondering spray Guns

    You can spray under the tractor with the harbour freight gun. Just don't fill it too full. Same way spraying down, if it runs out of the cup on your nice paint, it can get messy and you have to stop and do it over! I have 2 siphon guns that I haven't used in 20 years!

    Pondering spray Guns

    My first paint job was like yours, not shiny and looked like an orange peel. I now thin the paint way down, like half thinner and half paint, but you have to spray very fast and many many coats, otherwise you get runs! My last paint job looked as good as factory!

    Machines require a blood sacrifice; I think I have left blood on every car, truck and tractor I have owned!

    Inventors

    If you have an invention in your head, do the work to make it and patent it! I know that there are guys out there that have inventive minds.
