It’s a really nice vise! My son in law has this vise now and I admire it anytime I see it.

You might try contacting Lincoln. They are a pretty good company when it comes to supporting their products.

@@shopdoc I did they said didn't have the info.

@@morenothing4u Bummer! Msaybe someone will chime in and provide that info.

For sure. I am impressed with how well this little tractor performs everyday. Watch the restoration....it's amazing!

Thanks Alex!

Thanks! Need to take you for a ride sometime!

Wow! Great deal! Inverters rely on computers.......so yeah, the inverters will not work that long. I have a 20 yr old car that the computer has malfunctioned on.

Hey thank you! Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there! Thanks for watching.

I believe I bought the paint online from an AGCO dealer. Single stage paint so no clear coat. I used the Vansickle hardner for this tank and it did fine.

You will really love it! Lots of power to weight and very responsive handling.

That’s such a cool memory…thanks for sharing it. My plan is to start back in the Champ in 4-6 weeks once we get the crops in.

Nice! I should be starting back up in the Champ in the next 4-6 weeks once the crop is in. Looking forward to it.

Sharp edges chip and they also create stress in your work that become prone to fractures. The crisp edges are there because the manufacturers left it to the Smith to dress their edges according to their preferences. You like sharp edges which is your preference. I like a slightly rounded edge myself. Thanks for the info on the feet I was unaware.

Too bad it was stolen. These are pretty neat and you can find them at decent prices a lot of the time. Thanks for commenting.

You should have a wiring schematic inside your unit, that will tell how it should be wired. If yours doesn’t have the schematic then go to the Lincoln website and you can find it online.

@@shopdoc wiring diagram is a little fuzzy. Lincoln electric only sent me owners manual. Thanks away

@@roberteast4160 Google the following: Lincoln AC 225 wiring diagram. You should find everything you need

Reconditioned you should be able to get $150-200 in my area of Indiana. Unfortunately these old American vises are very under appreciated and under valued.

I wouldn’t disagree……even a refresh would work.

So there was a gold edition! Cool neat to know that info. Thank you!

Cool memories! My 61 has the 266V8.

Great to hear your experience with them! I had a 52 and a 57 before this one, so the 61 seems new……almost.

I really hope you hit the like button using my own login.

Thanks!

Yep the timing was off and not sure about carb yet. Runs really good now except the initial depressing of the gas pedal…..falls on its face then recovers. Accelerator pumps seems to be working fine……so not sure what adjustment I need to do yet? Researching it. Thanks!

I’ll have a Yost vise restoration in the future. They are great vises and a very historic American company!

Good call the timing is exactly what I needed to adjust. Still need to adjust the carb but runs much stronger after adjusting timing!

Very good information! Thanks!

Cool! What part is AMC? I keep finding IH on everything but no AMC yet?

Cool thanks for the info!

Well some cosmetic restoration but I’m repairing quite a bit. Just redid the tank and fuel lines. Replacing shocks and front leaf springs and bushings. Also plan on rewiring entire truck. Maybe more but so far that’s on the list.

Timing was off some and the float bowl was overflowing. I adjusted both and it runs much better but still falls on its face when I hit the accelerator. So maybe the pumps not working?

@@shopdoc Yes, with the engine off, remove the air cleaner and look down the inside of the carb., push open the throttle and you should see the accelerator pump squirt a stream of fuel, this is what overcomes the "bog" at most all points of quicker acceleration. I'd also suck on the hose going to the distributor to hear/feel that the vacuum advance is working, and no vacuum hose leak. I would also pull the cap and rotor and "lube" the vacuum advance weights/ springs pivot points. Me being "old school", I'd rum some Marvel Mystery oil thru the gas tank and also in the engine oil to help clean up the internals. Go ahead and put some 70 mph highway miles on her, she'll likely run stronger afterwards.

@@billycarpenter4740 great info! I will do all of those things! Thank you!

@@shopdoc You're very welcome. An hour under the hood and you'll solve your problem, and fine tune many things .

Had a 62 and 67 with I think 304's. The 62 needed and got new hydrolic lifters. Huge torque engines

czcams.com/video/G-2V9otNPsk/video.htmlsi=PqxbiFc2JshhZVGK You might try this video. You may be describing something similar to what my friend had. His was a hydrotrans leak at the hydraulic pump.

Thanks!! I looked at this video earlier but did not see the original leak. I’m gonna remove that plate today to see where it is leaking from.

Ok took plate off and found half of a ring. Any ideas where to purchase where it could have come from and what’s involved to fix. I’m sure I may have to follow the video but any ideas of location would be awesome!!

Would like to send pic but not sure how to attach here.

Thanks! I'm having a lot of fun working on it. Plenty more videos coming. Just redid the fuel tank and fuel lines and currently am replacing the front suspension.

Two of them!!!! Super nice! These are soooo under rated! Great welders!

Thank you, very kind of you to say. I’ve got a few more vises in the works right now. I feel like the Reed is the best vise ever made but there are others up there with them such as Athol.

Man I have no idea, I’m sorry it’s just been too long ago. I’d guess 10ga

Yes I believe the weight is 129lbs. The other numbers are its serial number so someone can likely date it.

I have not really, I have seen it but it’s so expensive. If I were doing this vise again today I believe I’d soak it in Evaporust for a week. I’ve been having nice results with it. Kroil might very well do the trick as well!

@@shopdoc I see a 16 oz can is about $32. This is commonly used my car mechanics. It is remarkably effective. I have used it on rusted metal pipes, and car parts. Usually, 5 to 10 minutes is enough time for penetration. For the most bound parts, 24 hours is sufficient. Just a little bit is all that is needed.

@@sloprun that's a good point and it might have saved me several hours of labor!!!

Yes it is. Thank you for pointing that very important fact out! The fact that it is steel makes it much stronger than an equivalent cast iron would be.

Me too! Bullet proof welder!

Nice I was just there on Tuesday for the annual inspection/service!
