One more is never enough

Post by chearn »

So I came home with two!

First is a pretty clean 1450, appears to be low hours but the problem is the motor is locked up tight.

The second one is a 100 with plenty of PO mods, but it does run.

I dont think these are IH wheel weights, does anyone know what they are?

Notice the notch at the bottom, I dont know if there is only 1 notch or 2

I'm pretty sure that is Minneapolis. A lot of their part #s started with RT which I think would indicate they were used on a model R tractor.

The 100 is my favorite,the QL not so much but one man's haul is anothers man's parts tractor.
Did you get a tiller with the 1450 also?
The 1450 starter many be stuck,so it looks like a good starting point!

No, I didnt get a tiller with this one but i do have a tiller that may find permant duty on this machine! :lol:

Yesterday (or it might be the day before (you can blame my time travel issues on Vinces Moonshine)) I put gas in the 100 and fired it up and took it for a spin. Pretty rough, needs a lot of attention (maybe 3 bolts to hold the motor to the frame for a start) and went through the gears then parked it.

On the 1450 I had previously pulled the head and the bore looked good so i was confident that the piston was not stuck. So today I pulled the motor and put it on the work bench and figured i would tear into it until i found the problem. After the tinwork was off it was time to remove all the mouse remnants. After that I was ready to pull the flywheel so I put a puller on it, put some tension on it and when the flywheel came loose from the crank so did the locked up issue. Turns out there was about 1/2" of corrosion between the flywheel and the bearing plate. I think that mice and aluminum dont get along well together! I will put it back together tomorrow and see if I can get it to run

Actually I am thinking that the 100 will be a parts tractor and the QL will be the worker. I know :beathorse:

Actually the 14 horse does run, now I am going to put it back in and mow and see how well it does run!
