Video

This isn’t a Cub , it’s a Farmall 140 tractor. Thanks for watching!!

For what reason?

Not really a ton of slop, its just hard to hold a camera, drive, and shift gears. It does have a little though.

They still build them (International/Navistar), but they are basically a re-badged Chevrolet. Only heavy duty chassis' of course. 4500 - 5500 size and up

More videos to come, I’m just really slow at my editing given the limited amount of time I have

@@ALTractorPickers Don't worry about it. Just enjoy that rare truck.

Indeed!

Not new. This engine is just temperamental

Oh yes

Where are you located?

​@@ALTractorPickers Western Washington. Most of the farming is 300 miles away (one way) on the other side of the mountains. And those farms are either orchards, alfalfa, or large scale wheat and barley operations. The old row cropping areas of the country are 1500 miles away. Which is ok for shipping a new product from a manufacturer, but I like to inspect used items before commiting. (And WA is on some california hippy trip trying to price everyone out of their vehicles with taxes and fees, so I can't afford my own truck anymore and would need to hire somebody to haul it that distance.)

On what?

That is bad!

Thanks!

These big engines take a high amp battery and they have to Be fully charged. Vanguard has also had problems the starters and this one has been upgraded since.

Thank you for the info! Yes, I am editing Part 2 and still might add more to the video. I'm still trying to get it running perfectly to try it out. Fuel system was just totally trashed from sitting up!

Kawasaki stopped offering that engine for the Ferris application, as well as other applications too. I know Bad Boy Mowers also offered that engine. It is a beast from what I can tell. We will see. Wait for Part 2.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I try to stream the video as I'm editing it to make sure volumes are constant. Given how soft I talk naturally, it can be a struggle to get volumes consistent. I have a New wireless Hollyland Mic set, but have yet to get them to work. I'm thinking they aren't compatible with my iphones. Using iMovie on my iPhone to edit since all the media is already saved there. PART 2 has mostly been filmed as of yesterday and should wrap it up tonight. Will take me a week or so to get it edited and posted. I do all of this in my spare time just because I enjoy it and love to share with all of you. Between work, (2) toddlers, and a wife; it takes longer than you'd think to edit a little bit of video.

Thanks !

Elaborate on which scenario you're talking about. It might be something I've not done before. Yes, I have worked on and work on many tractors; but have worked on very little lawn mowers, small engines, and vehicles. I also give the disclaimer "I don't know what I'm doing" because I'm not a professional to give instruction to someone MY WAY and then it not work for them. I do paint and body outside, I make gaskets from cereal boxes, I don't know what I'm doing with a buffer - but still get good/decent results, etc.

I have seen many needles stuck in the seat in a carburetor. Always try to keep and clean the OEM carburetor before replacing it.

Thank you sir! Yes it is a smaller version! 590cc compared to 731cc. I can get you oem parts should you need something

@@ALTractorPickers The John Deere 285 tractor has been sitting in the weeds for quite a while now, But I bet that I could hook up a battery and hook up a test tank and the engine would fire right up. Right now I am working on my 682 Cub Cadet with a KT17S Kohler Series 2 engine. I have removed all of the engine tins and have never seen so much crud and grass clippings caked up under the engine tins. I always thought that the KT17 ran really hot and now I understand why. My 682 has one of the nylon oil pressure lines which runs from the front of the engine to the oil pressure gauge on the dash console in which the line was leaking just above the compression fitting on the engine side. Between the old fuel pump being loose and the oil pressure line being cracked, I can understand why the engine would have accumulated all of the dirt and crud. I am going to run a copper line to replace the cracked nylon line just for a little peace of mind.

@@TheIronDuke502nice! I have several old cub cadets myself! One of which has a factory Kubota diesel.

Thanks 👍

You are exactly right! Once I googled a picture of the key, I recognized the key pattern as an indak ignition switch key. I got one the next day, and even found one with a plastic grip on the key.

That is awesome! I’m glad I had the opportunity to save this cool boat and now I was able to pass it on to a collector who will and is enjoying it in South Carolina!

Thank you!

I agree with that but for $450 I am gonna pass on the Edelbrock for now and rebuild what I’ve got for $60 and a little time and education. Stay tuned for the next video where I show all of that.

@@ALTractorPickers Go for it. Take your time and be sure every orfice in the damn thing is totally clean before tossing in the rebuild kit parts. good luck. BTW: That steering wheel needs to go if you can find a better one that's in original condition and you don't get raped on the price.

Thank you so much!

Wait til the next episode. Spoiler alert….it runs pretty well after the carb rebuild. IH built their own engines! You should look into the history of IH , you’ll be amazed at how big and independent they were! SUBSCRIBE IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!!

@@ALTractorPickers I SHOULD have know!!! AMC had their engines built, NOT IH!!! They were NO JOKE!!!!!

@@AndyM.yep!

Haha, that’s right!!

Thank you. Be sure to subscribe so you can see how it comes out. Editing part 2 now

Yes sir. Originally, your 1977 model would have had a ballast resistor mounted on the factory alternator, but over the years people repair and change stuff around. You never know what has been done until you start looking close, but you also have to know what was originally there. I know 99% of the little changes and features offered over the years.

Yes, the 140 came out in 1958 and was a different sheetmetal design. They kept that design until mid-year 1963, when it changed to the design like this one and like yours. That 2nd design ran until 1979 at the end of production. The only other cosmetic design changes worth noting, or quickly noticeable were the (3) styles of hood decals.

Do what?

Thank you

Love it! What is the bulldog transmission?

@@ALTractorPickers it's just a catch all term for a 4 speed transmission with a really low first gear, and that gear was usually non synchronized. My truck would do about 4mph in first at wide open throttle.

Thank you sir!

Yeah would love to have it myself it's in much better shape than me.

Hard to kill an old Binder. Solid looking rig. Congratulations!

Thanks I’ll have to try it.

It is great.

Thank you for sharing your story! Subscribe to my channel and keep watching. I’ll post some more videos of it as I can get them edited. You’ve actually read my mind on the paint. She shines beautifully considering. Got the front half done 😊

I do. Haven’t tried selling it yet. Shoot me an offer in a private email. ihfarmallrtr@gmail.com

It almost is. It’s just across the river in Florence if you ever want to see it! 😊

Haha that was the best thing to do

I've run toyota diesels for years, no problems

Ok
