How's she goin'? It seems to me Artie that when we change tires and wheels it's always a battle. You did a nice job getting the wheels on. I think having the chains on the outside will be a good plan. I hope you have a nice Christmas Artie!! Take 'er easy!!

400 Videos! Thats amazing. Good video on the duals and the governor. I have a couple of tractors with the governors, but I dont think that any have ports to fill with oil. That worries me a little.
@gravelymanКүн бұрын
Thank you Sir. Some governor's have to be taken apart and packed with grease. You may have to remove old grease and pack with new. I hope this helps you out and Thanks for watching my friend 🔧👍

Artie this video accompanied me in the truck today on my way to auction. It was the perfect length. I couldn’t watch, I listened, but enjoyed your explanation. I picked up my auction items today because tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday we are supposed to get snow. A Little? A lot? If they say we are getting 6 inches, we get one or two. It is that “light dusting” that you have to lookout for.

Nice work Artie. Back in the days of those quality machines, engineers were calling the design shots. If the engineers felt it was needed, it is good to keep it functional to protect the equipment. Sadly, cost accountants displaced engineers and that is why today’s equipment won’t last 5 years, much less 50+. I’m glad the governor is working again. Much better than our governor here in Michigan. She malfunctioned in 2018 and thankfully cannot run again in 2026. Maybe our next governor will work as well as yours does.

You are most welcome Artie. I always used regular motor oil in the governor over the years. Never had any problems. I kept and oil can handy and gave it a squirt or two every now and then to keep it topped off. I would drain it once a year and put fresh oil in as a matter of course.

Boy she started up great the 67. 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m wondering Artie, if it’s to full and when it’s running and the oil heats up, if there’s no room for expansion, will it come out the seals. Maybe do a video on your father’s governor, taking it apart and see if there’s any grease in it. My bet is the grease is dried up and not lubing anything. I’ve seen that in lawn tractor rear differentials. Grease all dried up. I usually add some oil to the grease to help it from drying out. Good one Artie. Have a great day. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
@gravelyman8 күн бұрын
Hello Noel. I would say after 50 or 60 year's the grease dried up. You're probably right. So far the governor is okay even though it's over filled with oil lol. If fails again off it comes. Thanks for your input and have a great day 🔧👍

Good one Artie. Does a great job of chewing up the stuff. Why not try a place on the tractor with the clear coat and see what you think. Would the running away have been caused by low on fuel.
