    6v to 12v conversion

    Hope this is a simple question. If I change over a 6v gas vehicle/tractor to 12volt and change the fuel gauge to a 12volt, will the original fuel sending unit still work?

    GEHL 135 feed grinder parts question

    You nailed it, the corn had packed behind the auger. I had a long rock bar and pushed it through. It was pretty hard and had to work at it for a little bit. Now the auger pushes in and will go past where it needs to be. I used a ratchet and socket to turn it to pull the packed corn out and...

    GEHL 135 feed grinder parts question

    Thankk you for the reply. I have made the job harder than it needed to be. We used buckets to empty the bin. Me inside filling the bucket and handing it out to my coworker therough the opening at the top. That would have been a whole lot easier if I wasn't an old fart. What made me start...

    GEHL 135 feed grinder parts question

    I am trying to work on a GEHL 135 feed grinder for a coworker. the input conveyor/auger front bearing is bad. I have located a parts diagram. I can see the bearing, all the mounting plates for the front, the "slip clutch" and drive sprocket, and the conveyor/auger screw. What I don't see is...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    Cool. Daddy talks about using one back in his mechanic shop days. He started out in dealerships in the 50s, then started his own shop in the 60s through the early to mid 70s. This morphed into a parts store and engine machine shop. That's where I grew up, started out going with mother, she did...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    Thanks again for the info. I did some reading while twiddling my thumbs at work today. Found a post somewhere that a fellow gave the name for the tester for field coils. I was at work and on my phone so didn't get it saved, and don't remember the name just that it starts with an m and sounded...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    I have one more question, in case I work on a generator again. I have read a post somewhere that mentioned testing the field coils with 110v ac. Does anyone know how that is done. I have several poppin Johnnys that I am working to restore enough to sell. I am probably going to run into some...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT , ALLRRRIIGHHT. 😁😁😁😁😁 Finally got back to generator. New field coils, which also came with new brushes, bearings, and connection studs and insulators. Field coil screws came out easily. I could tell from previous times of being worked on that they had used a hammer and...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    Thanks for the info. I found a few you tubes and read some forums that gave me some ideas of how to get it done. But again it will be a couple of weekends before I get back to it.

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    My field coils came in a few days ago. They were advertised made in chino, but are marked made in Canada. That is encouraging. I was hoping to have this finished and have hay baled already, but that's how things go. I am now trying to get ready for a scheduled camping trip, so it will be a...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    Reread the little information the IT manual has. The alternator is an isolated system, but does not use same regulator. Shows wire diagram for early models with generator and says alternator system wiring is similar except alternator connections. But wire diagram they show of just the...

    4010 diesel 24v regulator bench test

    Ok, headed to Ardmore to take generator to rebuilder. Was another decision, as when I talk to them, they are rather un-forthcoming. They are the only one I know of that's left in the area. ( actually a pretty big area as they are an hour away). Tried to get a quote on how much to install new...
