@@steventwiddy3402 Thanks! I appreciate that, always trying to learn something new. Good luck with that 1970, I really like the grills in those, they look tough.

@@blakegroce I’m 57 and I try to learn something new everyday and just be a little better person than I was yesterday

Last time I checked you could still get some parts through sears parts direct but I haven't looked in a long time.

@@blakegroce I looked, but many parts are phased out, and so far I've had to swap the engine to a newer 18hp b&s opposed 2, but I want to keep as much as possible original. The thing thats evading me right now is the transaxle parts, and some parts to the steering links. Like I said, any help at all is appreciated, your the only person online I have found who's filmed one.

@@jessebybee3521 Transaxle parts came from bolens parts direct, I believe I got the bushings and a few other bearings from mcmastercar.

@@blakegroce ok, I'll go check those out, thanks!

American Racing Outlaw 1s, I believe I got them from Jegs.

I'm not sure, it was rebuilt in 92. It's a small cam, not much bigger than stock, I'm guessing a mellings or a summit racing. Typical RV cam.

I agree, that might be something I do in the future. 👍

Thank you!

Sorry to hear that, will be praying for you and your family 🙏. Grandparents are hard to loose when you look up them for wisdom and advice, but I'm sure he thinks very highly of you for building things.

@@blakegroce He’s definitely proud of me for sure man. He was basically my father figure when my dad walked out. He was definitely my mentor❤️💯💪🏼

Check out the full length version on my KZfaq channel! I go through the entire process and explain what I'm doing and how it works! 👍

Yes it has a manual choke, it works, I used it in the video during the beginning! 👍

@@blakegroce Okay, maybe I don't understand today's definition of a "cold start"? I grew up in the day's of early Chevrolet's and other engines, tractors, etc. Normally, what we did was to pull the choke closed, turn the motor over until it fired and then gently open the choke just enough to keep it running and as the motor warms up, it clears up and eventually idles down and you keep pushing open the choke ALL the way as it stays running. As many times as your engine died? That's not normal procedure and not a healthy engine start. So, you must've opened the choke very "early" for it to keep dying like that. Is that what you folk's "define" as a "cold start" in these video's? I'm just trying to make sense of what your doing. I still have a 1966 283 and a inline 292 six popper in my 1968 C20. 👍 Thanks

It's just cold natured 😉

Thanks

If you can I would get it from a metal supply store. Might have to drive further but would be cheaper.

@@blakegroce i tried looking for the name of metal for front ' a frame [a frame kit /square tubing/ square beams ,tubes bars posts //

found tow bar for 20 bucks very strong should fit ok for permanent attachment

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you! Overall it took me a little over a month to film and edit! 👍

Thank you!

I didn't have to replace the coil on this one but I'd check Amazon if not, Stens or Rotary probably sells them.

@@blakegroce alright thanks man

Thanks!

Thank you

Thanks Mighty!

I'm running a 3.5 inch engine pulley and a 4 inch transaxle pulley, this does about 9 mph. If you want to go faster you can put a bigger pulley on the engine and a smaller pulley on the transaxle, this will make it go faster. But doing this will make your tractor not have a lot of low end torque but it's all about what your building it for and what you feel comfortable with! Hope this is helpful!

Thanks!

It's a beautiful looking tractor no doubt.

Thanks! I thought the same thing when I saw yours. My dad bought it as his first truck in 1989 and in 2018 he gave it to me as my first truck. Been sittin up for about 20 years so I had to do a bunch of work to it but it's nice to have it back on road!

Thanks!

Thanks bub!
