Engines / Re: How to hand crank an AC2(wm)
« on: April 14, 2013, 01:30:48 PM »
For pre-heating those cheap propane radiant heaters you mount on a 20 pounder work well.Point it at the head at a safe distance and wait a wile,just like summer.Synthetic oil in the crankcase will help. Frank C.

Things I want to Buy / Re: Lucas Starter/Solenoid

Jamie,alot depends on which side of the pond your on.In the states your better to go Delco.Dieselgman can take care of you or if you can find a local starter rebuilder shop that knows their stuff they can make you up one.Primary problem is the starter nose length,but those parts can be changed over.I'am having one made up now for my ST-1 Lister.

Original Lister Cs Engines / Re: re gas in fuel

You fellas that live where its cold/real cold  would be wise to add electric start capability.I tried a starter on my Lister ST-1 this winter,I couldn't crank start it without heating but the starter rolled it over at a speed that she would fire.You could always crank start for emergencys and old time sake but when the chips are down you want it to start.Be it a flywheel friction starter or ring gear.

Mike is your flywheel wide enough so you could run the belt on the ungrooved section and just move the alternator to one side a little.?? sounds like the groove don't match up. Frank C.

Probibly most starters would work,the problem is finding and attaching the rubber wheel to the starter shaft.I still have an old ford starter from the 50's with the bare shaft and no nose,that should be easy.Very good design on the video. Frank C.

Everything else / Kubota finish mower gearbox
« on: April 06, 2013, 12:06:52 PM »
I  scooped a deal on a Kubota B7100 fwd diesel with a 48" three point finish mower.Question on the mower gearbox the label says "prelubericated check and use nonfiberous wheel bearing grease. That seems strange every gearbox I've ever had used heavy gear oil,grease channels and you can't drain it.The seals seem tight I may mix in a little 140 with the grease in it now. What are your thoughts. I don't have the operators manual. Frank C.

They just have to realize old iron is like mushrooms sprout and grow overnight.The secret is,as mentioned ,a stroon field of old iron, newbees are not recognized.Sort of under the radar. Frank C.

Take a lesson from their book.They will buy an item put it in the closet, at a later date wear it,when you comment somthing new they say oh i've had it.Be fair all of us like goodies let her get something she wants,or take her on a little tripie poo. Frank C.

Engines / Dagenham 6D diesel
« on: March 17, 2013, 11:44:18 AM »
Anyone here,especially our british brothers,ever timed the simms injection pump to the Dag 6D [510E-6050E   FL].The engine is on my sawmill and running but has a skip at just above 3/4 throttle,I've been told it is probibly pump timing.What I am planning to do is keep increasing the timing a couple of degrees at a time and note any improvements,if not put it back to the mark.The injection pump has a solid spacer from the block to the pump about 6" long.I have learned over the years that timing marks are not always spot on in an old engine with some wear on the gears.Just need to know how its adjusted. Thanks Frank C.

Very common was the balancing unit that would clamp on the cars front wheel.The afore mentioned motor and flat wheel drive would spin the tire to speed.If I recall their were four knobs the mechanic could adjust weight wile the wheel was spinning and they would tell him weight needed and location .The only problem with a roid would be clamping the unit on true.

If you recall before computer wheel balancing tires and wheels were balanced on the car.A sending unit was attached to the car to sence vibration and a strobe would flash to show where weight was needed.Its bygone technology now and the units could probibly be had cheap.For large trucks there was a pickup unit they placed under the front axle,then spun the wheel with a electric motor and friction wheel.Hopefully someone here knows more than I do about it.

Casey,I've got pictures but I'am not bright enough to put them in a post.Doc still work mine, they have that farm freash finish.I modified a JD 45W loader with forks and use it on a 60 to load logs on the mill.Set the relief valve so the rear wheels won't leave the ground, will lift about 2500lbs. anything heavier than that gets cut shorter or I don't mess with it.

Most of us have been around the block a few times and this is nothing new,but genuine Listers are hard to come by.The old John Deere two cylinder tractors are next of kin,think of them as a mobile Lister.I've owned and worked two cyl. Deers for 50 years and they never stop amazing me, they were built for the long haul and will still hold their own with the asian wonder diesels.My favorite is a 70 diesel ,I'am a diesel mechanic by trade and my jaw dropped when I rebuilt this tractor everything is massive big bore [6 1/8"] and stroke journals you can barely put boath hands around.Wile your waiting for your next "Lister fix"and find an old Deere it will be one of the most usefull machines you have, especially if it has a loader.
