To those who responded - THANK YOU! I ended up having no back pressure againest the governor when running, so I took the motor out (again), tore down and installed a new governor gear. It now runs, idles, etc, now as it should. I did study the old gear and it appears one of the weights seem to hang ...

Recently restored a 127. Complete overhaul. It starts well and runs, but the governor is not working properly. I have adjusted as it is supposed to be done, but there is no tension or pressure against the governor arm. When you pull the arm away from the carb I thought it should almost spring back. ...

Joe,

you are correct. I just had my rockshaft out due to faulty roll pins and noticed the lack of a weld. I chose not to weld, but to construct the bracket and install on the other side where the stresss is at.

good observation

One last question- how much air do I put in them if I have fluid 3/4 full?

Thanks in advance!

Recieved today my new 26 X 12 X 12 super lugs for my 1872. What fluid does everyone recommend and how do you install it?

Thanks everyone

I installed my new (to me) Haban blade on my 1872 today. All went on very well. I need to make the Cross shaft support brace, but my question is the angle blade does not go the left very well at all unless I slightly pull the up/down lever. It goes to the right as it should (fast), but not to the le...

FIXED! And works perfect

Thanks all for help!

cable assembly on my 1872 impliment lift was broken. I am replacing. I ahve looked at illustrated drawing, but just a little unsure of how the cable assembly actually installs. And there is a nut to what seems to be used for an adjustment.

Any advice on installation and adjustment.

Thanks

THANKS FOR LOOKING - PROBLEM SOLVED

I have re-built my Parker power steering on my 1872. I am helping a friend do the same, but it is on one of those "other brands" (318). same pump it appears. after we have it all back now, the steering wheel and wheels turn to the right when running. In fact, it's a strain to turn to the left at all...

PROBLEM SOLVED!

A 20.47 key switch.

Thats the good thing about all the rain we have had here in Indy - alot or frequent seat time!

Thanks to all for your help.

Todd,

I checked fuse first, looked OK, but I stuck anyone in it just to see. I also tried another battery from my 149. I then checked my battery with my electrical tester. I was getting 12. 94 v.

Daniel,

Nice find!!!!!

Kevin,

I have pulled the plug off the key switch and cleaned. When you say solenoid, you mean the one solenoid next to the battery? Where the cable from the + of battery goes to?

I have been cutting grass with my 1872 this season and it has been running perfect. After cutting earlier in the week, I parked it in the barn as always. I went to cut this afternoon and when I turned the key, I got nothing. No headlights at the first click of the switch, no movement of the amp guag...

I have stuck on a 50" deck on my 1872. Mows well, but once in a while the right blade I think it is slows down or does not turn as fast as the others. Is this a belt issue, bearing, or what? It appears the tension on the PTO is fine.

Any help is appreciated

Here is a picture of progress on the restoration. All seems to be going good, just need more time to play. Work is getting in the way of play. All berarings seem to be good, still working on straighting the bent hard rubber tire. for those that might have or have seen a T-38, look at my picture and ...

I have the mower completely apart now. some parts are blasted and primed, but one (1) of the solid rubber tires is bent. Does anyone have any ideas on how to straighten the hard rubber? I have not tried heat. I was scared to do so.

any help is appreciated.

Paul, Geezer, Everyone, If you have not attended the Half Century Progress show before, you should. It's an amazing show. Alot of old tractors and equipment working. It's about an 1 1/2 hours away from me and I attend every other year. a bit of advice - either bring a golf cart or rent one. You need...

Geezer,

Thank you very much for the decal picture and colored picture of mower. It is greatly appreciated and will help me alot. I started the dis-assembly on Saturday. I will snap some pics and post of the progress.

Thanks Again

I have a Mott T-38 pull type mower. I am wanting to restore it. Does anyone have the right paint colors (formulas) for the yellow and the orange for my hard rubber tires? I have new knives for it.

Also, does anyone reproduce the decals for it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know I am about 2 weeks late on posting these, but here are some pictures of the 1450 with a 54" blade doing great work on our storm we had here in Indianapolis a few weeks ago

I use autolite plugs in my farmalls, does anyone have a preferred plug they would recommend for my 1872? It currently has Champions RL??17?? in it and would like to put new ones in it.

just looking for input.

Thanks

I have a very similiar problem, thought maybe someone could help. After starting my 1872 and mainly when I shut it off regardless if the switch has been on, the front pulley spins. in fact, you here it still spinning after tractor is off. It finally quits after a few seconds. any help on this? is it...

Tom, Joe,

Thank you both for the help. I plan on working my way thru it this weekend. I will also have to get longer hoses for my cylinder as well.

Thanks Again!

I have a 54" hydraulic blade on my 1450, I want to put it on my 1872. I know there are some significant differences, but will it work?

Thanks

does anyone happen to know what models had a seat with the flip up arm rests?

also, what is the part number of the seat itself? I have the arm rests, but would like to get a seat to put them on.

Thanks in Advance
