This old Minneapolis Moline M602 tractor has been sitting for a long time. It only makes sense that I go unprepared to work on reviving it after many years. Do you think it will start? This old tractor has lots of character, and sure gives a guy a big fight! It clearly needed an ignition rebuild, but of course, I didn't have all the parts. The updraft carburetor also needs a rebuild. Who do you think will win?

Dad's favorite tractor, a MM UB diesel,, one year started loosing coolant, Pa said think it's head gasket, soon as we're done it's rebuild time for that one, of course as soon after done filling silo started fall plowing, after milking one nite thought got enough time to finish that one field, in my hurry didn't top radiator, made one round and it made a pop snap noise,,, and stopped, walked home told pa we unhooked plow dragged it home to the shop,, 2 days later picked up a 1066 with a 5-18 plow, took me 6 months to find a head for the mm ub diesel,,, but Dad kept the mm ub right up till we were done farming, in fact it was the last piece of machinery sold

That voiceover at the end was so amazing. Kind of reminds me of that Bear outdoors guy mixed in with a little Bushradical. Where they say some positive words to encourage a guy who's down, down on his luck. Can't believe I waited so long to see this. Revivals will still be my favorite. Even if they don't turn out to be happy endings. Life's like that. Doesn't always work out.

Way I was taught, you use about 1/4 to 1/3 third throttle, no choke, spin it over and as it spins, pull choke out, it will fire a couple times and you push it in half way to let it start, then idle it down. Of course, you are in the middle of a rescue mission and having other issues. Loving watching you work. Everybody has different tricks, I am appreciating watching.. I had a Minnie Mo, a great beast. It was very reliable.

Justin Stearns Mine did this with new fuel line, sediment bowl, and a rebuilt tsx67 carb. There was no blockage. If it ran out of gas, it acted just like a vapor lock, and gas would not flow from the sediment bowl to the carb until I loosened the new gas cap and the fuel line fitting at the carb. Then, gas would flow and fill the carb bowl to the proper level. I tightened the fitting and gas cap, and everything worked properly for months until I ran it out of gas again. Rinse and repeat.

On those old Marvel Schebler carbs, there's not much to replace on them anyway. I bought a new one for my Massey because it was cheaper than getting a kit, but I ended up with a second tractor and it needed a carb as well, except that one was seized right up from having been filled with water for a few years. I took my original carb from the other tractor and boiled it in lemon juice off a tip I got online. That thing came out looking brand new and worked just as well as the new one did when I bought it. Lemon juice ate up all the varnish and gum as well as the rust, and no parts needed replacement. No float sticking, no running rough under power starving for fuel. It just went. That started out as my parts tractor but it ended up being overall in better mechanical shape so I swapped all the good stuff over to it and ran that one instead.

I would like to hear what happened with the Moline M602, from the son of a MM collector! Your red service truck got me! I spent countless hrs in my dads red ~1957 1 ton Ford service truck, Straight 6 with enough room to stand between the fender wells and the engine! VGG Family has great content! I stumbled on your channel a few yrs ago, then got too busy. Reconnected a few wks ago and got hooked and subscribed right now. This vid is very nostalgic to me. Born and raised in Minnesota (almost ND), my dad started collecting and restoring Moline tractors in the late 70’s when I was 10. I spent countless hours wrenching and tinkering with him, going on road trips to extract MMs from tree rows, sheds, you know the deal. He’s still hard at it. My first engine he let me wrench on was a ‘20s - ‘30s gas powered one cylinder kick start Maytag washing machine motor. After that outboards, lawnmowers, snowmobiles and cars.

I had never heard of Minneapolis Moline before this video so I had to do some digging. Their factory was off of Minnehaha & Lake and there used to be a huge rail yard with a train turntable right next to it on Hiawatha. The turntable was removed in the early 50s, their factory was knocked down for a strip mall in the mid 70s, the sprawling railyard shrank over the decades until it disappeared entirely in the 90s. Now it's all retail shops and just a single rail line, but I'm sure the neighbors prefer it that way, I couldn't imagine living next to a rail yard in the age of steam. If I ever find myself in need of a tractor I'll be looking for an old MM.

In my world, that style carb is called an updraft. Intake manifold leaks and valve leaks will make them near impossible to get running

I would hazard a guess that the bad feeling that you had when trying to remove the spark plug was actually the socket dragging against the head. Need a very thin wall plug wrench for many old tractors!

Beat on like a cabin screen door ! Those old marvel schlieber carbs , thier is a good reason for that large knob on the main jet ! I lost a good tap in the bottom of one on a 58 Oliver 550 once, most of that stuff on a tractor (factory stuff) like fuel , oil pressure gauge tachometer is not completely needed maybe

I had an old CASE tractor for awhile awhile ago . It was a nice old unit having been manufactured in 1955 though It was unreliable with the starting and running. Eventually, I went whole hog with a new carb and despised the price but there really isn't any way I would have been happy otherwise as it went like new afterward and was worth it. Seemed like it quit using fuel afterward instead of gulping tank after tank so that was good. Hard to say if there is another workaround considering the updraft thing. I suppose a propane carb is about as much as I had to give for a new Offenhauser 1bbl or whatever it was. It was a long time ago but I will bet I could have bought 2 four barrel Holleys at the time, but I didn't figure they would work upside down to draft correctly. Been years since I thought about that.

Those glass bowl pet cocked can plug up some. Jet a little compressed air to back flush them. However the will get bad enough to require changing out sometime. Who’d think gravity fuel could be so complicated?

Thanks for the pep talk at the end , Brother. You can't win 'em all. God Bless... PS: If she's still there, go back and take the gas cap off and blow compressed air back up through the fuel line into the fuel tank. I'll bet the line's clogged. I had that different times with old gassers.

Retired and not a sales rep but watching you have an issue with that sparkulator reminded me of when I was wrenching for a living, we came across a can of Kroil, probably out of your price range but that stuff works harder than you do. I never promote anything but if you are going to keep playing in rusty relics you should get some of this shit it works! 👍👍👍
