    Vintage tractor hauler - F-700

    I'm looking at a '68 F-700 flatbed as a toy to haul tractors to shows. It has a 390 v-8, 5 speed manual, and 2-speed rear-end. Would that be an automotive bell housing on it or a SAE-2 or SAE-3? I recently came across a DT360, and had a wild idea that it might make a good re-power for such...

    WD9 - Thermostat or no?

    On to the next issue with the Fatman. He doesn't have a thermostat, and takes a long time to warm up. I can see the water churning in the radiator tank when running right after startup. No bubbles. Ran him about 10 minutes while greasing my 7 foot bush hig mower and putted out in low gear...

    VR or cut out relay on my WD-9

    I was under the impression I had a cutout relay o.n my tractor. I have the 4 position light switch LHDB: But the guts loock a lot more complicated than a cut iut relay. The wire coming in to the top has batt voltage, and the wire coming in to the bottom is from the arm on gen. Field on...

    WD9 - Thermostat or no?

    That was my next question: What to clean it with? White vinegar and/or CLR? we have HORRIBLE hard water here, so I' ve been running distilled water in it for the last few weeks. How much vinegar for how much water? Update: Carried my cooking laser thermometer with me. Started it up this...

    VR or cut out relay on my WD-9

    Well, i'm looking at the illustration on page 152 of the WD9 parts book. There is an inset drawing of another generator mount like mine that is labeled "Without voltage regulation". That is the mount I have. It is partly on a bracket bolted to the side of the block, but the front half is...

    VR or cut out relay on my WD-9

    Jim Becker, The ammeter shows discharge when I turn the lights on with the tractor not running. Originally when I got it the mag had a bad coil, and they had wired in an external on. it also was showing discharge ever time the points closed and energized the coil. I took all that off and...

    WD-9 won't run on diesel

    Well, and easy check is to start it on gas, and open the bleed valve on the injectors one by one and see if they are squirting out diesel. if you don't have diesel there, the system may have air or you may have a stuck rack. First just try bleeding the fuel system per the manual, If you are...

    What a WD-9 owner doesn't want to see.

    Well, I finally got my WD-9 running, after 2 years, 1 of over-work and 1 of health problems. Got a re-built mag, and all the finicky switchy stuff working, and fired it up this afternoon. The rack was stuck, but just a little patience got it to move and I was able to switch over to diesel...

    What a WD-9 owner doesn't want to see.

    well, not below the high 40's at night for the 2 week forecast. we almost never have a frost past April in the Dallas area, although I do remember an Ice storm on the 2nd one year. It's in the 80's here toward the end of the week.

    What a WD-9 owner doesn't want to see.

    Ok, after having my life flash before my eyes, ("Honey, I need $2k for a fix for my tractor") I went back out there and started her up again. Warmed up and smoothed out. Bled each injector in turn, and none of them seemed to be missing. Checked radiator, and no bubbles. Turbulence in the...

    What a WD-9 owner doesn't want to see.

    Not blowing coolant out. ok, will try that. This is the first start since it left ND. I will also try bleeding injectors. Not blowing coolant out, just some tiny bubbles. I took a long time to fill the radiator, it would fill up in the tank, and I would check it a few minutes later and...

    Super WD9 carburetor

    Actually, they need to be CLOSED to run on gas. they force the air to be pulled through the carb instead of straight into the engine.

    W-4? Where and how much? Good, bad, other?

    I have a W4, SW6, and a WD9 just east of Dallas off I-30. Not for sale, but you can get an idea what the sit and drive like. I've JUST gotten the WD9 to hitting on gas. Not running, but it is trying. Have float issues to straighten out on it. It seems to run on diesel fine if you pull it a...

    706 lp

    I think the main thing was they used SO much fuel, the farmers tried to lean them out a bit too much. This produce very high exhaust gasses, which were hard on valves and exhaust manifolds both. The gas was cheaper then, but you burned a 1/4 to half again as much of it.

    450 Head on a Super W6

    I have a SW6 that the PO installed a 450 LP head on. Evidently the Super's used the same oil line as the regular M's to oil the governor. The 450 head does not have an oil drain port on the front to tie in to this line, so it is just open right now. I know for a fact it hasn't been run much...
