You think you know what you have? You know nothing about that tractor. You don’t even know how to adjust the clutch. You probably don’t understand the PTO. You don’t know what the tractor is. You use profanity too much and for no reason at all. You have a very unintelligent, very limited vocabulary. I would tell you about your tractor, but you’re too ignorant.

Edit: I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to create this upload. You saved me some pretty serious coin. I was prepared to pull the trigger on the ABS.

Valve stem seals when worn, will make the exhaust gasses turn blue! Your fuel-tank would benefit from a good clean and after that, use some white liquid tank sealer, "shake it about to cover all the inside", as you have rust pimples inside it, which will turn into holes soon! When using a puller, You tighten it up, "then" You give the "bolt" a sharp tap with a Hammer, Only once, you don't need to keep hitting it ! If it does not pop off, tighten a bit more, then tap it once again. Bingo, the wheel will pop up, job done. 👍

On my 1988 F150 replacing the oil pan gasket is a nightmare of a job. Loosen motor mounts and transmission mounts. Remove upper intake manifold. Jack up engine. Drop pan a few inches and then reach in and remove oil pump and pickup tube. Then work the pan out between the bottom of the engine and the support beam. Sure wish I had known that the rear seal could be replaced without removing the transmission.

Doesn't matter it does not give enough time to get a good coat on there no matter what area of the cloth you use. You cannot get a good coat without coming back a minute later and finding dry spots its not worth it to sand and go through all that again
@johnwirk
@johnwirk Ай бұрын
Its nothing but a marketing scam. 'Clear coat you can wipe /roll on!' Bullshit. To get it to lay like you desire, you would have to thin it so that it runs like water so goodluck with verticle areas. Then, like most of these products, it flashes off too fast. Just mask off the windows and spray the damn thing because that will be cheaper and less time consuming in the end.

I just applied the satin kit on my 1950 truck. Followed their instructions to a T. Scrubbed all flaking off, scuffed with a maroon scotch pad, washed it twice. Washed it again with their supplied gray pad. Then used the wax/oil remover. I let it dry completely, wiped it down with a terry cloth before applying with their supplied applicator. It streaked horribly. Spent a couple hours the next day scuffing, wiped it down again and it streaked again…. Not impressed - especially with the cost. I guess I’m sanding it off and going a different direction.

Sorry to hear you are having the same issues. I’ve tried again and did exactly what you did and it did the same thing. I’m thinking it maybe the satin only. I saw one recently done in flat and it didn’t streak at all. As a last resort I’m going to try and spray it.

I was a carb guy all my life until 2018, I never liked the idea of relying on electronics to get me where I wanted to go. Then I bought my first Sniper and (5) snipers later I don’t own a single carburetor vehicle. Not only do they all run better, They get better mileage, Make more average HP……But my biggest pro is ZERO fuel boiling issues on those Hot Summer days. Tuning a metered fuel leak aka (Carburetor) is a challenge especially if you trip drive (which I do) with my Hot Rods and Sleds……With the Sniper those problems don’t exist. I have a 49 Olds sled with a Blue Print 400 SBC with a 700R4 in the car and went from a best of 15 MPG 356 HP to the rear tire to a whopping 19 MPG and 368 HP to the rear tire. $ well spent

If I can run a 1970 CB450 with a OEM truck ECU, you can make it work on this Ford. If you want to stay distributor, it'll do it; if you want coil per plug, it'll do it. $50 OBDLink SX and the free software Universal Patcher. Changes everything HPTuners can. "Why re-invent the wheel?" Well, that's the only thing you would need to "invent", for the crank sensor. I have videos showing my crank sensor setup, and then demoing it with a hamfisted crap tune hitting 8K RPM. Search "(P59 + CB450)" and you'll find it. Always read video descriptions for more info.
