    3 phase question

    Ok, well, from your description, it sounds like it is a 120V single phase motor. Do you have any literature on the spreader that might indicate electrical specs? You really need to be sure on the voltage requirement of the motor and the output of the transformer. Then sizing the wire correctly...

    3 phase question

    A 3-phase motor doesn’t use the neutral, just the three hot legs. If you connect a 120V motor to any two of the circuit conductors feeding a 3-phase motor, it will burn out.

    3 phase question

    You don’t divide the voltage, the load needs to be rated for the output of the transformer. Plus, a single phase motor doesn’t use all three phases. Only line-to-neutral (single phase 120v) or line-to-line (single phase 208/220/230/240v) Can you post a pic of the motor and transformer nameplate?

    Tractor ID needed from old photo…

    Thanks for the help, folks. We were trying to find out if it was still in the family somewhere. Unfortunately it looks like it may have been sold years ago.

    Tractor ID needed from old photo…

    Hey good people. We were at a family gathering yesterday for a 90th birthday and tons of pictures were shared. One was this old photo that had my wife’s great grandfather in it with his tractor: No one remembers the make/model and I’m not familiar with it either based on just the picture. I...

    Yup, Jenny's childhood home. Exactly what I thought when I saw kcm's pic.

    Hello! Forum newbie here...

    Hi! Thanks for the compliment and the welcome, fixerupper. After seeing the sludge in the sediment bowl, there's no way I'm even going to attempt starting this ol' girl before covering the basics. However, some parts on this one are a little out of my wheelhouse--that's where I hope to lean...

    OK, I can see these becoming addicting...I'm not going to get any work done if I keep building puzzles!

    Huh, and here I thought you were supposed to drag chains over all the painted surfaces of the machine! ;)

    Hello! Forum newbie here...

    OK, I've built up a few posts now, let's see if I can share a pic yet: This is an old photo, from when I brought it home several years ago. It is mucho dusty now and feeling pretty neglected. That will change soon as the colder weather here breaks...

    Hello! Forum newbie here...

    I think I follow you...would that set me up for a wide-spread critiquing on means and methods of loading, position, and tie-down?! Kinda like asking, "What's the best way to season a cast iron pan?"

    Hello! Forum newbie here...

    Yessir, duly noted. Hmm, I actually replied to your earlier post, or at least I thought I did. I was having some technical difficulty posting from my phone last night :roll: . I assume there is a plug of sorts that I can remove to access the oil gallery?
