Very little but I almost have the tractor and plow out of the field. Almost!
I started to plow a very small patch this summer with the John Deere plow I fixed up and painted last winter. The ground was so hard that I broke both plow points at the first bolt hole when I brought the plow out of the ground at one end. I put the 4 16's behind the Oliver 1650 after putting 2 gallon of gas in the tank. I dropped the plow into the ground and the front came up which put the gas behind the tank outlet and she died. I left it set in that spot for a month or so while we received several inches of rain. I put another 2 gallon in the tank and made a half round with the it still climbing the gears. Made a half round and she sputtered and died. The only way it would run is with the choke all the way on and still wouldn't pull the plow. I figured with the lack of use and the type of gas we now have that it was a dirty carburetor. Night before last I removed the carburetor and sure enough it had a bunch of rust crap in the bowel. I put acid in the bowel and swished it around after removing the feeder tube making sure I got acid every part of the bottom part. Flooded it with water and blew compressed air thru every orifice both ways for a quick cleaning. I put the carburetor back on and it started up and ran like a top. Made one and a half rounds and run out of gas. (I thought) I stopped yesterday afternoon and bought a can of gas, dumped it in the tank and the sucker would start and run for just a few seconds. I took the carburetor off and give it a little more attention by removing the jets and running a drill in the holes. Took the loader out with two 150 pound Oliver wheel weights and chained them over the front of the weights already hanging on the front. Put the carburetor back on, started her up. Made the two rounds that I needed to finish like a new tractor and plow, lifted the plow at the end and after about four feet the hydraulic line that runs to the back cylinder burst and well oiled my back.
Plowing done for next springs oats patch.
The ground turned over nice once I got it set.
Took This To Hold The Front Down.
