    '48 Model B Zenith carb

    Could be there as a rebuilt indication, could be there as an anti-vibration wire. I doubt removing it will have any effect on your tear down of the carb. Given the age of the carb, I'm sure any mechanic's warranty has long since expired.... :!:

    Int. 424 Hydraulic problem s.

    That's the sketchiest modification I have ever seen. Rube Goldberg would be impressed. The original setup (with out the extra hoses) looks a lot like what is on my B434. From what I read, the knob that's on an angle is the isolating valve and used to direct the full pressure flow to the...

    Hydraulic issues

    It was somewhat warmer on the weekend and I needed to use the tractor for some work. When I started it up, it started to spew hydraulic foam from the vent again. This time the volume was less probably due to less fluid in the reservoir. I had to change implements and again when the lift arms...

    Hydraulic issues

    Thanks for this. I will leave the tractor be for now. Hope I don't get any more snow for the time being. When it's above freezing, maybe by the weekend, I will check the hydraulic fluid level and maybe do some exercises of the lift arms with the load in place to remove residual air from the...

    Hydraulic issues

    I am indeed in Canada. Eastern Ontario specifically. We got a 15cm + dump of snow that I needed to clear plus the snowbank at the road, courtesy of the snow plow. When I refilled the reservoir, there was no space left in it for air except for the space where the seat is mounted. I know this...

    Hydraulic issues

    Hmm. The B434 has a separate reservoir for hydraulics versus the more common TDH system. When I drained the hydraulic reservoir a few weeks ago, the oil was a very dark and smelly reddish fluid. I think I had topped it up with Type F transmission fluid. After allowing it to drain, I did...

    Hydraulic issues

    It's a B434. I have done some looking at the IT shop manual but can't decipher how the hydraulic fluid would return or bypass to the reservoir. If the tractor is off, the control will keep the lift arms at a set height, but the minute I start the tractor, it's as though I have fed the lift...

    Hydraulic issues

    I got enough snowfall today to require hitching up the snow blower to clear the driveway. It's fairly cold, probably -15 C with the windchill. The tractor was kind of grumpy but eventually started but then started spewing hydraulic fluid out of the reservoir vents. See attached picture. [/img]

    3444 exhaust manifold and configuration

    Looks awesome. It's given me some food for thought if I happen to the exhaust off mine again this winter.

    Life of Anti-freeze

    When was the last time the anti-freeze was changed? If you have no idea, then change it. The typical life span of glycol based anti-freeze is maximum 5 years, due to the glycol breaking down and becoming acidic. As others have indicated, you can purchase test strips for that but what's the...

    Gas tank sludge

    Don't forget that back in the day, the octane boost was provided by tetra ethyl lead, a truly nasty compound. The octane boost is now provided by some percentage of ethanol blended with gasoline. Unfortunately, ethanol absorbs water which can cause issues in some engines, especially if...

    Gas tank sludge

    E-85 is anywhere from 51 to 85 % Ethanol ( grain alcohol) mixed with gasoline. While it may work as a solvent for the sludge in the tank, it may also attack certain parts of the fuel system, such as parts made of magnesium, aluminum or rubber. It would be better to use naphtha or acetone...

    B-275 hydraulic filter question

    Not only do o-rings come in many diameters, they also come in many thicknesses. It's probably easier to fit a different o-ring than to carry out the mod. A visit to an auto supply shop would suffice.

    3444 exhaust manifold and configuration

    Here is a picture of my exhaust set up. you may have to modify yours slightly due to the loader but this has worked for me. I took the flange to a welder and had a 2" diameter stub welded to it, the uses standard car exhaust parts to make up the rest of the exhaust. I installed a very compact...

    B-434 questions

    Good progress today. Got the new wheels on the tractor. Looks pretty snazzy. I filled up the transmission and differential with oil and it would appear that re-torquing the axle housing bolts solved the leakage issue. Below are pictures of the source of the clutch problems. By...
