    Alternator conversion to 1 wire

    I had a non charging alternator on the shelf. Took it apart and the windings all test good. I found a self exciting regulator module on Ebay. Hopefully it will work better than the "snake oil" conversion wire.

    Alternator conversion to 1 wire

    Well I did as suggested and revved it up. Took a few seconds but it did start charging. After it started charging it was going at a 14.58 volts. I could get it almost back to idle before the voltage started dropping back. It would come right back up if I increased the speed again. When I...

    Alternator conversion to 1 wire

    I recently purchased the 1 wire conversion kit from Yesterday s tractor. Looked like a straight forward conversion, plug in into the 2 pin, connect one wire to the alternator output and run a wire to the + battery post. Did not charge. Anything special I need to do to get the Delco...

    Ford 4000 steering pump

    This is an early model 4 cylinder gas, ag tractor. Except for the steering, it is in remarkable condition. I think the steering box will have to be rebuilt one way or another. The spindles move easily but the steering is rather stiff. I may remove the hydraulic cylinders and see how stiff...

    Ford 4000 steering pump

    Just acquired a Ford 4000 model 4120 serial number 7191. It has the hydraulic cylinders on the steering rods and the lines to the steering box. It is missing the pump and lines to the pump. My question is where does the pump even mount? I m thinking of hooking it up to my log...

    Blue NAA?

    Were any of the NAA s painted blue from the factory. My has an NAA serial number and everything on is appears to be NAA but the only thing I can find that is red is the steering box which was probably replaced. I have high pressure washed it and seem to be down to what appears to be the base...

    NAA head gasket and valves

    Yes the valves must be adjusted when replacing the head gasket. I believe the spec is .015 for both intake and exhaust valves.

    Water in NAA tranny

    Well I can buy off on some condensation but since the hydraulics did have some water in the oil, the fluid level is normal and had no free water when I opened the drain plug. Of course it had been circulated by the hydraulic pump. I suspect some condensation and a lot of rain coming in around...

    Water in NAA tranny

    Well it does get cold but not for long. I dont know why this thing did not freeze and break the case. I live in the IH20 corridor in Texas.

    Water in NAA tranny

    Since it is so easy to take the top off, I think I like the idea of a pump up sprayer and some diesel to wash it out real good. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Water in NAA tranny

    I bought this NAA recently. It has been sitting idle "for a while". I finally have the engine purring like a kitten. Now for the back half of the tractor. The hydraulic fluid has a little moisture in it as was expected and I understand, quite normal. I'll work it out as I use the tractor...

    fiber or metal clad head gasket

    Yesterdays tractor sells both a metal clad and a fiber head gasket for my old NAA tractor. (which had a blown head gasket between 2 & 3). Which gasket would be best to use?

    NAA Engine sleeved?

    Just an update: The leakoff tester arrived today. Sure enough, it is indicating a blown headgasket between 2 & 3. 70% and you can hear the air coming in the adjacent cylinder. 1 and 4 were at about 25%.
