I know that the motor needs tvo but if I take off the heat shield will it be fine on pure unleaded petrol
I used to steer one of our Massey 65s or a 35 pulling a trailer around the field in low gear whilst my dad and his brothers forked bales onto the load. I was so small one of them had to put it into gear for me because l could not reach the pedals. I bet l was only about 5 or 6 then!I'm fine with points and timing, I've done them.
The tractor had been sat outside for decades unused, I rescued it and soon had it running but it wouldn't run a sawbench. I had cleaned the tank as best I could, even had the Hoover in there but I think that was still the cause of the starvation.
Uncle then told me " dissy has always been buggered on that". I guess he meant the spindle was worn.
There isn't a heat shield on it but I do have one
Uncle also told me it has the Howard reduction box in it which I didn't know.
I was driving this tractor aged 6, carting caulis with my Dad. Fancy putting a six year old to drive a tractor!
Still, it put me in good stead for when they sent me down the mines at 8
Sentimental value only as long as it has a use, so it is not too good for any job. If anything I am trying to find a job for it to justify keeping it at all, and running on petrol only makes it not easy.Sentimental value then so, might be to good for the saw?
We had to put a lawnmower tank on one (petrol) to get it going ............
If you could get a cleanable filter in the fuel line, you could wash it out now and again.
Dyson handheld or proper industrial hoover?
