Tim: So anyway, it looks like all I've got to do is just clean that tractor engine up real good and reassemble it, and it'll be readdy to run!
Tim: Also needs a new clutch disk. The old one has a chunk missin'.
Rob: the rings still spring past cyl?
Tim: Rings are fine, and so is the cylinder bore.
Rob: cyl-keep it simple hee hee
Meg: Tim's a-fixin a tractor like the one we had on the farm, Joy.
Tim: Inside of the engine looked great, but had about a half inch of sludge in the bottom of the oil pan.
Meg: For a museum.
Tim: Non-detergent oil, ya know?
Rob: right
Joy: I wondered if I missed something, when I started reading about tractor engine.
Rob: you gonna do a lil ploughing fore you take it back
Tim: Outside of the engine’s perty dirty, but it'll clean up.
Tim: No implements with the tractor, dangit!
Rob: too bad
Joy: Where did you get the tractor?
Rob: would really look great with the plow
Tim: Be perty neat if we could come up with some. Maybe I'll ask for donations if there's any old farmers around with 'em.
Tim: The tractor belongs to the NH Farm Museum, about 10 miles south of here.
Joy: k
Rob: Tim is just doing an overhaul on the eng
Tim: Someone donated it to 'em, but the engine was apart.
Joy: Sounds like a lot of dirty work
Rob: love Joy
Tim: It's a really unusual tractor, an Allis-Chalmers G model with the engine in the rear.
Joy: then the engine should purr like a kitten when he gets done
Tim: We had one like it on the farm in Indiana!
Rob: never purred when it was new, don't know. Actually it was a pretty quiet machine
Joy: Did the tractor in Ind get the love that this engine is getting
Rob: Nan loved it. Dad had her on it by prob 11
Tim: When I get it runnin' I'm gonna try to talk her into coming here to drive it!
Rob: hell drive it to Oregon for the break-in Tim
Meg: Yeah...it needs a long drive to break it in.
Tim: Good idea! Top speed is 7.5 MPH!! I'd get there about time the engine needed another overhaul!
Meg: No wonder dad let Nan drive the tractor, iffn it only did 7mph
Rob: hell that was twice as fast as his old fordson tractor, that was my baby
Meg: Hell...horses is fastern that
Tim: The museum has Two Fordsons!!
Rob: it was slightly better than the fat horse and skinny mule we had
Tim: Low first gear has a top speed of 1.5MPH!
Meg: Jest slightly, Rob.
Tim: Regular low is 2.5.
Rob: model T engine in a real bear of a tractor frame
Tim: Second gear is about 4.5
Tim: High - 7.5
Rob: think we used 2nd gear for plowing
Meg: Mebbe gas was cheaper than hay for the animals.
Rob: one 14" plow as I member
Tim: This engine is a 4 cylinder, only has 2 bearings for the crank!
Rob: husky crank huh
Tim: Yup! Hasta be with all that unsupported length!
Tim: Well, I gotta go help the Red Sox win their game. I'll keep you all informed on the tractor.
Rob: ok thanks for the tractor dope, tractor guy
Tim: I'm takin' pics as I go along, and a blog sounds like the way to go. I just don't know how to do one!
Meg: I'll send ya the 'link' to the Google blogs.
Tim: OK, that sounds good. See y'all next week. poof
