welcome to my corner of the KZfaqs

I just used mine to run my 100 amp wire welder. It did great. I should have videoed but forgot the camera. I'll probably do one when I take it to Oshkosh for the flyin.

I'm always doing work. I just forget to video it most of the time.

thanks

Don't need the tach. I needed the cable. I got lucky and found one at O'Reilly's that worked. I have the parts and operators manuals. I was hoping someone had already done the foot work to find a "local" source

@@SolidJunk1000 That was the parts number for the tach cable I just miss labeled it. Between the parts book and the Agco site, I have an idea how hard it will be to find the part before I call Welters.

I'm glad you enjoy

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was nice talking with you at the end of the day, and even better to get to plow with you. Hopefully we can do it again next year

No worries...I prefer to think of it as a nativity in motion.

You are the only family I know that have an accurate Nativity in their yard and that is incredible. Thank You for sharing! @@SolidJunk1000

Merry Christmas to you as well!

We are all doing well. I've been meaning to do more video's, but work and the Holidays got in the way. Merry Christmas To you and yours!

Fishing was poor. Family time was excellent. Yes this is the plow that broke the bolt. The can IS a cup holder. It has a big magnet bolted to the bottom. It works really good. It has a strip of rubber molding around the top for some cushion and cut prevention. Thanks for watching

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I really like the cup holder. Thank you for pointing out the molding. I will make sure that is included. I think the experimental airplane is going to be an interesting subject. What a neighborhood!! You have heavy artillery and now you are building your own Air Force. @@SolidJunk1000

I don’t know much about D17’s but I think it would take a good one to keep up with this 5 Star. Yours was probably stock 283 engine. This one has a 336

nope. It's on the list of things to do. I did pick up two pallets of parts with enough stuff to build an engine for it. I've learned a little more of its history and replacing the engine is going to be the way to go.

I have lots of cool stuff....just can't get to any of it LOL

Thanks for watching!

my pleasure ! @@SolidJunk1000

boooo......hissssss. I don't know who I was bidding against, but I hope if it was a scrap I guy I pissed him off

@@SolidJunk1000 Well, you’ll just have to plow ahead anyway.

I enjoy playing/working with my toys. I'm glad you enjoyed the video

I've never really thought about the size of the project only the size of the bites it's going to take to eat the elephant. All said and done I learned a lot about the welder, its settings, and how to use it. The finished project is sufficient for now. Next rim job will be better

I have barrowed your saying and probably use it almost as much as you do. When do you think that the U 302 will be done?

I have no idea. I hope before the snow flies@@fjordfarming

I have ZB #67 look through my playlists I did a series on going through the engine on it and thanks for watching I hope you subscribe

from Detroit.....

Well for Chuck's sake I shoulda seen this sooner and said Hello right back \

Cosmetics for the most part. The Super does not have the white nose trim on top or the lower white band across the grill

thanks! I can't wait to get it installed and the tractor back in action

We decided we were this far in we might as well fix it right.

Thank you for the compliments. I'm glad to know that someone is getting practical knowledge from my videos. I'm just trying to document now the knowledge that might not exist 10 years or even 5 from now as the "old timers" pass on. I hope you check out my other video series as I have several that discuss some of the evolution of this series from the original late 30's design of the R through the mid to late 60's versions in the U302 and Jet Star 3

@@SolidJunk1000 I found your channel because of the U 302. I agree with your thoughts on Engineering of the Past. I am looking at your MM videos one topic at a time.

@@fjordfarming I hope you find them fun and informative. I'm not an expert by any means, but I do try to share the things I have learned. If I get a better computer i may try to start actually editing my videos, but until then I'm just going to keep doing what I do.

It's more of a Rustoleum restoration/rebuild. When we bought it we were told it had been rebuilt with an overbore. Stock form it should have been about 50-55 hoss-p'wer. It never really acted like it had that much, and we had it on a dyno and got less than 50. If you look back through the playlist there is a few obvious things that caused this. It''s getting new rings spaced properly, new valves, and new rod bearings. I'm planning to put a new coat of paint on the engine and buff the rest of the sheet metal. It will make a nice looking mostly original workhorse

@@SolidJunk1000 sounds good! Definitely a nice tractor even if you just do a Rust-Oleum restoration! I painted an M5 for a friend a few years ago that was a job 97 different parts on the paint rack and five different colors! Looked nice tho when I got done!

a little bit every day ....

I think that's the one I'm going with. We will see when I get to buffing how it goes

it will be! I'm sure its going to fill the trailer getting it home

Thanks, and you're welcome. Since you have some of the Constellations you probably new the rule just didn't know it had a name :)_

Thanks for subscribing. I'll probably end up using whatever I can find that fits that looks decent. I am familiar with Andy's video's. In fact I have met and met and talked with him several times. He is definitely a good resource

@@SolidJunk1000 Ok. Good deal. I recently found your channel. Started to "Nose Around" your playlist after the first comment, not knowing that you have experience with Molines.

I try to keep everything of any value. I just needed to pull the files from the camera card to the external hard drive. Sounds easy, but this laptop only has 2 USB ports, and I can't work without a mouse.....so we move them from camera to laptop till it's full then laptop to hard drive. Clear the laptop and repeat

yeah, I think it's going to be fine. I haven't tried a belt yet. I want to polish up the con rod and put it back together to see how a little polish on both helps.

Welcome to my video ramblings. I hope to make this one a runner someday as well. The list of needed parts isn't huge. I'm just not sure where to start looking

@@SolidJunk1000 At, the never ending parts search 😂👌

I filled up at the Coop station. The sign said the fuel was winterized. Never had an issue with their fuel before

When it’s daylight out tomorrow I’ll do a better video of the Moline recovery and the sketchy bit to hold the loader up.

@@SolidJunk1000 sketchy? LMAO 🤣😆 people say I do some sketchy 💩, but I'm not sure how they would know 🤔 I don't video the sketchy stuff👍😁☺️😂

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin there’s no video of the sketch in action only proof that it held up for a 75 mile ride on the trailer. NEVER video the before only when it works do you point the camera and say told ya it’d work

@@SolidJunk1000 lol.. yup

It was COLD. I think the temps were in the upper teens low 20's. I also think the carb needs some fine tuning. It had a miss and was sluggish when I opened the throttle after it was on the trailer. The big cloud of smoke when I rev it up tells me something's not quite right. It could just be because of the cold weather though too. I just needed to get it out of the garage and back to the farm so I could move on to the U-302. I'll tune it more when it warms up this spring

It has been known to go down the pulling track a few times in the past. It is the one that I have done most of my antique pulling with.

@@SolidJunk1000 that's cool! It has been fun watching your videos!
