Hi guys, I wanted to tell everyone thanks for the replies on my charging situation. It is now charging 7.1 at the battery, and I don't have to polarize it every time I get on the tractor.
It has poured rain here, so it is going to be several days before I can do my next project. So I decided to take the time to fix the valve cover gaskets. When I took the Manifold off. the back 2 nuts were not even tight. I took them off with my fingers, no wrench. The manifold gasket was blown out at #4. These old tractors are tough. It was running pretty well like that.
My gaskets will be here in about a hour. I bought my brass manifold nuts, checked the torque specs 27lbs. I even bought some rubber washers to put under the nut and washer on the valve covers. I plan on using a little thread sealer on the valve cover stud. Everything is painted and waiting.
You guys see anything I have missed? Or anything that will help me out any?
