I hate it. Are you doing fine, sir? Well, i decided i'm gon na purchase this, but i got something for you. I say we go get it all right. Looks promising we're even welcome what's hidden in that brush right there anything! That's it's a golf cart! Something golf cart.

Maybe is it a three wheeler two two on this side? Oh, that's, right! Okay, would you go in on this? We went in on that side. It's down there all right! Well, did you do this i'll? Do the honors, yeah? Okay, you see the brick stay away from. That is the beast. Oh yeah.

I think i might have to go, get a light. Huh that's been there a little while it's a cool machine, though it's got dualies on it nice. We got a plow blade for it too. Yeah yep awesome little eight horse, kohler it'll, cut down some shrubs too.

It's almost like a dr fuel and brush mower funky tractor like this, just not to the bed of the truck rolls back off. Thank god. It rolls, though, at least it moves. I earned up the tires.

It rolls so much better now come on all right now. We need a nap well other than putting the air in the tires. You guys know about as much of it as i do. I have no idea it just stopped being used because something happened to the person that was using it or something happened to the machine.

So we're gon na go figure that out and see either what i failed for, or can we resurrect it and bring it back to life? It looks like it's running a little colder. I think that's yeah a little colder, probably eight horse. It does look like electric start: it's got a battery up there and yeah electric starter right. There looks pretty complete, looks like somebody scabbed down a gas tank from a snowblower and a chipmunk or a rat, or something like the gas cap.

The linkage looks, pretty complete, tires, are dry, rotted and starting to pop through the sides of the sidewall. But again it's a tractor. It's not like it's a car going down the road got two attachments got a blade and a flop blade, and i don't want to call this a rough cut. Mower we'll deal with that part of it later.

Let's get you set up in the stand and let's see what we got for an engine, we'll start with the engine and kind of go from there yeah first things first doesn't have a pull start up, but we should be able to turn it yeah, the pulley. Let's see if it goes all the way around it does and it feels like it's got compression good all right. Let's go see what we got for fluids, see if there's any oil in it any answers to that. It's not a minute.

It's okay enough to work with. We need to be changed. What happens if they sit for a long time all the sediment. That's in oil, it'll, look real good and you fire it up the first time it kicks up all the garbage.

That's on the bottom, see we got in the gas tank hop door on the other side, something to grab a light going in. It looks pretty empty. Actually, it's like moisture from water. Hopefully i can show you right.

It looks like it's just got moisture in it. Um, let's go pull the plug and blow some of that crap away around the plug and give her a spin actually got oil. Let's go pull the plug, we'll take a look at it, dribble a little bit of oil down inside the plug hole and then we'll. Maybe put a jumper pack to it, see if any of the electric start stuff spins, we don't have a pull start on it.

I want to check, for spark is what i'm trying to get to yeah that has to offer us. I don't know about year, i'm guessing if i had to guess like 1970, maybe a little a little carboned up looks like it might have been running a little bit rich, all right. Let's go dribble a little bit of oil down inside there and uh get a jumper pack just give it a quick little a little bit of that, you should actually pop that air cleaner off. First, just in case there's something funky look at him, make sure you're not gon na suck in a bee's nest or something sometimes the foam on the filters too.

Just rot away to nothing should be paper not too bad. Do we have throttle moves, choke moves, strokes on a cable, all right, jumper back now, remember: red is positive unless they're both red follow at home. This one went the ground and this one's going to the starter solenoid over there. All right, let's go see if you bump that key anything happens, i'm going to give it a 60 success rate that it works.

That's not very high. I know nothing. I overshot it uh. I don't know.

If there's any safeties i'll have to go pro with a test light, i got my test light set up. One side's on the ground terminal, the other side's on the hot terminal make sure my light works. So this post right here this wire, the thin little wire coming down, that gets a signal from the starter switch up there, that that light should light up. When i go to turn the key that'll tell us: if the switch is working and we're getting power to the solenoid, actually we should be able to yeah.

We got main power going to it. So this little one right here, i believe, should be 12 volts. Go find out yeah, so we're not getting a signal down there. Probably the ignition switch itself is boogered up from sitting out in the weather.

Let's try getting a jumper wire and going across that for now and we'll see if that solenoid works kind of like. If you had an old ford same thing, you would cross the hot to right there, we're gon na have a jumper wire going to it. Hopefully clicking. Let's pull the solenoid in.

I don't think it's working for uh. That solenoid has a big set of contacts in it. Sometimes if you hit it a bunch of times, the the contacts will clean themselves too. Let's try it there.

It goes all right. Let's go spinner for a little bit sounds pretty decent. Let's go, throw a plug in and see if we can spark. The key is in the on position and we are looking right there, no spark, so the motor will have a kill wire somewhere on it and all that does is it grounds it out? It's probably it might be that one it's going to the points uh and it obviously could be the points that are clogged up too, but i also wan na.

I don't trust that switch, because it doesn't work for the crank part of it. Nothing's saying that it's working for the uh, the kill part of it too quite sure where that would grind out, but it would ground out the um points side of the wire you get a hot side of the coil and a point side. That's the point side. There, let's go pop, that points cover off real, quick and we'll see what we can find inside there see if they're, just all gummed up, but there is a kill wire on it, one of them somewhere.

It might be wrapped up in that harness more than likely they're pretty gummed up just the nature of points. You know. I'd say this machine has probably sat a long time looks like somebody's had it apart too there's a bunch of um sealer between the engine and the gearbox you're going to be looking right up here, see how the heel is, and i'm talking about this stuff in Between here, somebody's already had this part at some time in this life, so we are looking right there and we're looking at those two surfaces. They actually do not look terrible a lot of times, they'll be like funky green.

Let's go give it a quick spin to make sure that they're opening yeah they are and should be around 20 thou, and it looks like it's a little over that that's okay, i'm gon na go grab a points file anyway, drag it across that a couple times, We'll spin it again to see if we have spark all right, let's go uh, give that a spin again. So you forget anything. That's still looking right. There nope, we have nothing, there's a chance! There's you know what we do have a throttle, sometimes on the carburetor too, and the governor will be killed.

Let's go give it some throttle. I would think it would be the key, but that's what i'm reading right there. I see a stop on the bottom of it so sometimes on the linkage of the carburetor you bring it all the way to one side. That's the part that grounds it out.

Let's go see yeah my fingers nope all right, so we're going to go find what the kill wire is to it should be on the ignition i keep hitting my head on the handlebars and again it's in the run position. It probably is the actually we probably just unplug it all together, go get that switch right out of there all right there. We go all right one more time. You see the plug yeah corner you're right still, no spark, that's not good uh, possibly we have well.

We could have anything we had a coil problem, we could have a magneto problem, so i believe we're gon na have some kind of charging system underneath here, which makes the juice for the coil uh battery's already hooked up to it. So if it required a battery, that's already in the circuit not saying that uh, it's not going through the key switch, but so i kind of suspect the ignition switch and i'm thinking that um. It turns on and off the 12 volts to the coil, not killing. The ground, like a lot of them, are so i'm going to try putting 12 volts right to the coil and we'll try cranking it one more time and see.

If that does it for us, we are looking where right here right there we go. We got spark now, so that's what it is: we're not getting power to the coil to energize it not killing it with a ground. Oh, let's go dribble a little bit of gas in it put the plug in it. Try it and fire it up and listen.

Real quick, a little shot would help if i get it in the plug hole that should make for a good fireball. So that was a problem all along. I don't think the points were dirty enough to cause this issue. All right, let's give her a crank.

Let's see we got on throttle, we are on idle and choke is open. Doesn't that sound sweet nice little checkered lego along all right? Let's get the i'm gon na, go look into the car and see what condition that is in. Let's get this side tin off the way and we're gon na drop the float ball real, quick and we'll see what we've got going on. I do see the fuel shut off, so that's a good sign, possibly it's uh been saved.

If not, we got to get that off of there and soak in two more on the side and for our next set of surprises. I'm hoping for good and the reason why. I say that because that fuel line shut off that fuel line may have been shut off because the carb leaks too, though it's got something in it. Come on.

You can't be one of those guys. It's got to come off sitting on the fuel line, clamp i'm going to put on there later see. If i could flip it down how'd they ever even get that tight. How did you get that tight? Look at that that right there, it's literally right above the bowl.

Let me see if we could get that tweaked out of there and make the fuel arm right off of there and drop it it'll get into a little here pliers all right enough room there. We go looks like oil, not terrible, though i've definitely seen worse than that good. It's not all rotted and corroded burned up that looks like fuel before ethanol fuel. Actually, so it's definitely a set a while.

Can we get the needle in seat out of it? I'm gon na end up taking that carb off there anyway. I'm gon na go pop that carb off of there we're gon na still gon na go clean it, but it looks pretty decent just be easier for assembling everything back with the gasket and trying to do it with. What's there all right, take the choke off fuel line out of there, i'm going to mark where those linkages were. It's kind of like your governor set up.

You'll get different feedback. If you try putting them in different spots, i'm gon na get those two screws out and get it popped away. So so there we go. Do that was stuck a little bit of corrosion on it, not terrible.

Let's go get the mixture screws out of it. I'm gon na go throw this over in the ultrasonic cleaner. Let me get a bath to clean the ports yeah, it's got some crud on it right in the center and we should be able to possibly push down through the center go around the bench and see if we can get that main, it doesn't want to move. I'm not going to screw that too much.

I don't want to damage the end of it. Sometimes they come out, sometimes they're pressed and they don't - and i think this one you're gon na do more damage to it, trying to get it out of there and then you just leave well enough alone. I'm pretty sure it comes out this way, yeah all right. I can go into bat, the jets can go in the bath and the flipple, and you think that might fall we'll throw it in there sink.

Of course, the float should float into the witch's brew, we'll let that i don't know half hour. So what was it? Do its thing, and that was cool looking when it starts doing its flow, all right, let's go fix something else. While we're waiting, we know we have a crank and a start issue with that ignition switch. Let's get that out of there we'll either just try to find another one for my stash or maybe we'll operate on.

That looks like a fairly simple one and do some chopping. I don't have one here. I may have one of the house: let's go mark that and go dive in anyway. We can't break it anymore.

It's already broken right, so the edges of it are all peened over it's kind of what's holding that center in. If we can get that material to walk away, it should be able to pop up for us, i'm sure it's all full of water. You know this fisture is left outside. It just runs right in through the front of the switch.

These things are not very watertight. So it has a couple of functions. Of course, one is allowing power to go to the coil, not crowning it out having power go to the coil and power go to the starter, and then i would think the last system is probably going to be the charging system making the link for the charging System, it's just a guess on my end, that may be a bunch of reflect points just like when we clean the points, it's kind of the same thing, but there's six of them. I think that's enough to get it open there.

You go no she's pretty dirty. You know that wasn't gon na play very well. Let's those two should sweep the whole thing should sweep. When i turn the key, i'm going to go over wire wheel, i'm going to go clean all that crap off of there and uh we'll come in maybe with um like a pencil eraser we'll clean these two up, and i think i don't think the sound wanted.

Now the sun was just a guide, but let's get all this cleaned up. First see what we get as i clean that up on the wire wheel. Anyway, let's hold the electric cleaner, i'm just sitting on there with a spring yeah i'll, probably do the same to them. Eraser will be good or we're gon na go ahead, hit them on the wire wheel too clean both of them up.

Let's clean up, so you can lift this right out of here, and i want to take a little bit of time and clean this body of this thing up there we'll get some of the corrosion out of here. You go clean that up and i'll bring you right back little detents down there supposed to fall in these holes, nothing going in those holes being that dirty. So that's the off position that is on and then that's crank with the spring loaded part of it off. I marked the case - hopefully i didn't wash that off here's our mark.

Actually, let me go clean these terminals up too nice to do both sides of it. We got ta put the little tabs on people like that. I'm gon na right them up a little bit with something to protect them. That backside's got ta drop in though yeah there you go.

Let's throw some electrical grease on this side anyway and we'll let that transfer over other than the hair to them all right, so that marking was right there once we get that to go that one, stopping us, the one that was screwing with us earlier, yeah, ah Gone forever now, everything's, sticky, that's what she said go find my parts. Okay, i think you got it. No, hammering it's not going to work. Let's try an opposite approach! Opposite approach he's going to be trying to get this side in first because i'm not sure it's got to fit in here we go, we got her.

Just got. Ta love tap that edge around a little bit. Nothing saying this switch is going to work, but you wanted to see what was inside of it anyway right even that key fit really crappy in there too. Don't worry about spark just yet.

I think we're still hooked up, let's go see if a crank will work. All right, good, it's a little sticky on the return side, let's uh check for spark without our apparatus see if that came back and if so we're two for two. If not, we got ta look into why that circuit's not getting energized? Are you good? Oh yeah? We got it fixed for free. Let me put that points cover back on there just want to show this a little tool for i make them for phillips too just kind of locks onto the screw and that way when you're, not fumbling, in that tight little spot.

Trying to get her started wait, it's still fumble, but you won't be dropping the screw. Where's the hole got ta go up higher yep. That's that one. Sometimes the hole is a little higher.

Just saying it's. A neat rig with the four wheels like that they were common for a while they seemed like they got away from them and then the only thing i see kind of like with this setup is like a dr field and brush mower. I think they made like a what's called a sulky. It's a little seat that goes behind.

The machine connects on the back right here they stand on her or look. Sometimes they do a one with a chair too. You can kind of sit on and work the machine from behind. But at that point, is it better just to uh go and get a regular four-wheel tractor? I'm gon na go.

Try this one out again. It's got the two different attachments to it, so that's off should come out the uh plow blade. I don't know, i would think you need more weight. I guess it's and how much snow you're trying to move - maybe it's even not even forced out - might be for dirt, but i know they make a bunch of different attachments, for i think they got a sickle bar a tiller.

Of course, the the blade that's on the front, i would think a snow blower, maybe even that might not be you know if this had a nice big snow blower on it, that'd probably be it's most useful and that in the for cutting grass i'll crank that Up and put the plug on it well by all rights, we should build just a little bit of gas in it should fire for a second there. You go all right. Well, electrical parts all set up uh. I don't think we'll.

Let that carburetor sit a little bit more. Should we kind of jump into something else? It's probably been about 20 minutes or so we'll give it a little bit more time. Maybe i'll go grab a coffee is anything else standing out. That seems screaming needing some love.

I think we just kind of concentrate on the engine for now and then we'll get in once we get that part of it running, we'll start chasing how the transmission works, and you know the stuff up here - looks pretty beefy and change it out. What would you do? Four bolts, let's go look at the plow real quick see how it swaps over from one to another yeah. It looks like it just. You would bolt that and bolt this right up to it and doesn't use any pto, just the pusher and little lock pins for the angles little shoes, so you don't dig in too far.

It's got a cutting edge cutting edge because it doesn't look too bad yeah. I don't know if that's for snow, if that's for dirt, pushing dirt around, probably both well, i'm just gon na take a few minutes, while the carbs off and just kind of clean them up, probably get a parts washer and brush, and just wash some of this Stuff out, i don't see any heavy debris up inside the frame shroud, otherwise meaning mice and all that we'll find out when we fire it up. It'll have a tendency to all start stacking right here. There's a big fan right here.

This is the air intake. This part so there's a fan here and it shoots air up across the cylinders and out a lot of times, mice, nests and all that kind of stuff build up inside here. I'm looking at this, the depth of this and the depth of that. I do not think we're going to be able to clear that without having to take some major structures apart.

So maybe we're going to leave that for now, especially because we have spark, and then you know it's putting that part of it out and we go wash that up and then we'll get the carb and put that back together. I'm hoping that the fuel pump is going to be good because it was it looked like it was oil that was left in there, not ethanol leftover fuel that just rots the diaphragms right out. So again, this looks like it may have been sitting for so long that that may not be the case. One thing i see special special one thing.

I see um that may be okay, it seems like they have the gas tank more than high enough over the carburetor, where it won't be an issue if we have to we'll just gravity feed it, but we'll see i'm going to change all the fuel lines. That's what i'm doing now, while that carburetor is out of our way, give us a little bit of elbow room to get in there and make that stuff do the same. With the tank too, i can take the tank off i'll just run some parts washer through it and make sure it's kind of cleaned out yeah. Let's replace that with the exact same thing, but new cleaning, the tank got all the fuel line on there.

I want to try and run some fuel through that fuel pump in case there's any crap. That's in it. It's not sealing very well, let's uh crank it through, though, so you can get the pop out the other side. I just wanted to push any crap.

That's in it out there that's pretty good. I just want to get rid of the contaminants that we're we're sitting in there and all fuel that was sitting in there. Now we can put the fresh stuff on it. Yeah we probably got 40 minutes in the soup.

The float's still floating that's a good sign. Nice flip, the donut over and clean the side of it that need to do that needed to be cleaned. Let's throw that back in there i killed my seal. I screwed up.

I should have took that out. It might shrink back down. That's the cools off good she's, a tad about warm degrees, warm i'm gon na. Let that float sit a little bit more, nothing shaking in it.

That's a good sign! Oh that's why i did it all right. Let that sit in there. A little bit while i'm washing the carburetor, so i tried boiling it and throw it in threw it in the freezer afterwards see if it would shrink up nope. I won't tell if you don't.

Nobody will know just afraid over time. It might shrink itself back up again, but you will worry about that. If that happens, we're gon na go a little proud. Okay, see if we can kind of hide some some length in it, so it does shrink down a little bit a little bit of preload.

All right, then there was this one, then our float, i'm just gon na eyeball on the side of that float that it sucks, because you were yelling at me. Man wasn't listening to you come on back out, come on. It would definitely help put the needle. In first then, it has something for the float to float against, i'm just going to eyeball on the side of that float, and i want to see just that that floats kind of sitting level - and it is parallel.

I should say it's with the uh, the body of the carb. Generally, what you do is you take a roll pin, you put a roll pin between the body and the or drill bit rather of a certain size. I found that to be 99.9 correct. All that goes in the top, pretty simple carburetor.

Then we have the two other, of course it's the wrong one. Then we just have the main on the on idle jet side. I blew everything out everything all crossed passaged out those little pin holes inside there blew them out, i'm gon na kind of run them. I'm gon na run it in and run it out about.

Two turns: that's a half! That's one and a half two i'm gon na go a little bit more because one way it will run in one way. It will not you uh, as you run, that in you pinch off how much fuel is getting drawn up, so the more you run them in the less view you got the more you run them out the richer it gets since the idle circuit. Maybe a half one uh, so we kind of use that for our starting point, i think we're good to put that back on i'm also going to just blow in through here upside down. I should be able to blow not blow because the float is down and if i flip it over, i should be able to blow through it.

That means that the flow passage is open. That carbs back together. Let's see if we throw some gas in and see if it pees out anymore, the fuel shut off and it kind of works you can still blow through it lightly. So i guess that's not working it's it's a it's! A fuel slower down.

Let's get her enough to get that if you'll put this full, hopefully a little gas comes pissing out of that carburetor give it a second. It should be able to push through. Did you see a drip? Yeah remember that fuel shut off it's leaking around the fuel shut off great all right, that's, okay! We may just get rid of that all together unless they don't also have another. My stash, let's go see if she fires up and how she sounds, should be able to go right with the key now choke my fingers pretty good.

Actually we're gon na bring her down it's on idle. So let's do the idle one running into a screws up. Sometimes, there's a little bit of a delay. The air cleaner will make a difference too, but we'll fine tune it after that's on falling off our face.

I just go river up tip it'll rev up. We were right, there sounds nice, no smoke excellent, except for that fuel shot off. That is more of a fuel drain. I'm gon na go see.

If i got something for in here. If not, i may put a piece of a uh like a piece of copper tubing or something just to bridge this for now and then uh when i get another one i'll just put it in there. I would like to especially on these older carburetor up. They have a tendency, you put them in a shadow or barn for a while, you let them sit, they'll, end up seeping and running down and sometimes uh.

What will happen is it'll actually run into the engine and fill the oil up and um. You have like half gas and half oil and clamp that off and get rid of mr drippy yeah. I don't have one so and it's late at night, i'm not gon na be able to get one i'll grab one tomorrow and then i'll just replace that again. It's clamped off, so it's not gon na.

Do anything guys. Actually what i think i'm going to do, i'm going to make this a two-part video uh. My videos sometimes start getting me an hour and a half two hours long. So this one's got some decent time too.

So we'll do is we'll divide this one up into two and we'll finish up the rest of it start looking into the other components, how it is, how it runs, get a battery set up on it check the charging system, get all the levers and controls to Work and maybe take it out in the field and beat beat on some grass and twigs and sticks and brush and see how she does with them and dually tires on it all right guys, but for now i think we're going to call it quits, and i Will see you soon on the next one until then a little later? No, i don't think it's been locked in because it does not turn at all. I think we're just seized up, probably just from sitting so long to be my guess but uh. I would think. There's bearings in here, but it could be the gearbox up above.

It also got a bit of a bend to her. It's gon na mark, where that is, i'm gon na try bringing that over to the press and maybe between here i'll put the nut on the other side. We know this is the furthest bent away see if i can get a little bit of that bend out. Let's see what we get, i don't know if it's going to move at all, actually there's a crack on us, so you.
