    I had some custom made a bit ago when I did the starter. I had a solenoid that I could color match. Also this generator I could see the color pretty well and it’s very close actually. Not perfect but close!!

    I cleaned up the generator. Did not take very good photos. But it turned out pretty dang good. Armature tested out just fine. Turned the commutator down a hair and cleaned it all up. Hope to install soon and get to more wiring.

    I think that oil has helped my truck a fair bit. Seems to be running with minimal smoke. Thanks for the tip!!!

    Interesting ! What type of differences were you seeing using that oil? I have been doing some reading on oil and it does seem beneficial for my situation and the trucks lifestyle to be using something around that 10w40 or maybe 15w40. Won’t know till I try but I’m glad to hear others seem to...

    Haha that’s great to know!!! Oil seems really clean and I’m not loosing oil or coolant. I could be just beating a dead horse thinking I can get it nearly perfect. I understand it’s an old tractor!! I just can’t help but to get curious and want to try things incase it makes a difference. At...

    Also I found this old carb. Original?? Who might know someone trust worthy and knowledgable enough to rebuild? I’m not positive the one I current am using is original. Would be nice to have correct one installed.

    Well I put some new valve seals in. Adjusted clearance and exhaust smoke was slightly better. I let the truck run for a while tonight. But wasn’t able to drive it yet. I did one of those blue chemical block test kits on the radiator and wasn’t getting any discoloration. While doing this I played...

    I used this kit ! And they have many videos how to do the process. It’s hard and a little stressful with tempered glass and you have to take your time. Depending on how bad the damage is will determine the amount of effort and time it takes. If not severely damaged I don’t think it would be very...

    Also was able to sand and polish the glass and get the welding slag pits and bad scratches out. They are not perfect but much better.

    I would agree! I noticed that in my manual but hadn’t seen it anywhere else while researching. I found where the Oring type I have is meant for the top of the stem and was sometimes all that was used. I think I can make what I have work just fine honestly. anything will be better than nothing...

    Seems like these are the correct ones for this truck. From what I can find but I doubt they fit between the inner spring. I’m wondering if the taller hat type is the correct one. But still looking for answers.

    It’s been awhile since I got to work on the truck. I did get the wheels powder coated and hub caps on so that feels good. But I have been researching valve seals and thought I had it figured out. Tonight I removed one spring and don’t see a seal?? Also ordered two different types of seals and...

    Ok will do. Thank you!

    It’s white ! And gets worse as I hit the accelerator. Which I believe means coolant possibly getting into my cylinder correct!!? It definitely had a nasty burnt like stench. I’m almost afraid that loud pop I heard while getting the distributor set properly has done some damage somewhere...

    That’s awesome thanks!!!!

    62 FJ45 SWB

    Ya that’s kind of what I had in mind. I think I will play with it at other settings beside spec like you said and see how it sits. Just lowered idle and adjusted timing. Then played with the one set screw on the carb a bit and got it to its best. But still doesn’t sound great!! I agree I need...

    Today I checked the valve clearance for each valve. What I did : Took the cover off and all the spark plugs out. Then Manually turned the motor checking each valve per cylinder once that cylinder was at TDC. Per my manual it stated intake needing to be .25 mm and exhaust .35 mm. Mine were...
