Had one on an air compressor years ago. It was a beast. Never failed me and I used it alot. Sometimes it ran all day long in both 90 degree heat and below zero temps. Kept the oil changed and oil bath air cleaner serviced regularly. I never did anything to the mag or spark plugs either. They just don't make anything like that anymore

Plug wire orientation is easiest way to tell whether even or odd fire on the mag, or distributor caps. Another easy way is to take a lengthy piece of welding wire, or the like, and stick it down each bore. This will not, for example, tell you the difference between a TD and a THD. The "H" specifies steralite valves. Crank speed will tell you if early lower HP model.

I have a model TH, without stelite exhaust valves. It has the 6v Autolite starter and gear driven generator and distributor which runs off the cam gear where the mag would go. The serial number puts mine at 1957 and I have a cast iron Zenith carb. I think all of the older TE, TF and TFD engines had cast iron carbs. I would guess this engine is a later THD since it has an aluminum carb, if it's the original. Also the provisions for flywheel alternator probably rule out the earlier motors as well. The timing advance marks on the fan shrouds are different too. The TE and TF series have a 27 degree advance. The TH and THD have a 20 degree advance. Those are the only differences I know of.

Got one of those old beasts. It sat for ages and somehow got water down in the case even though there was no sign of having rusted up. The oil pump housing has some bad corrosion though. Has put indefinite hold on doing anything with it. Missing the ID plate and haven't had the head off. Is the crank start. Have a 1cyl crank-start version of this paired up to a JAGER (sp) cement mixer...obviously not factor since it pokes out well beyond the cabinet. Thinking might have an intake leak since it's a pain to start even after the carb rebuild...won't stay running w/o partial choke & won't idle. Also has blue flame coming out the exhaust when run at night. Been a long time since ran it...really need to get it going so can use the mixer it's attached to. Can churn out more concrete in 1 go.

Great video & good job Jake ! Love the WI two cylinders ! I'd been wondering when you'd have another video out. As you promised a few months back, you'd be getting at another WI soon. It was a joy to have it show up today !! You got a real steal on it for $35. I've had to pay north of $100 & north of $200 for the last THD & TJD respectively I bought this summer. The THD I got didn't come equipped with electric start & I have yet to get it started via the crank. I had to mount a pulley & used a belt & a Kohler K91 to start it. Didn't want to risk a broken wrist or arm via it kicking back. It runs ok, but won't idle down like it should. I've cleaned the carb thoroughly & replaced the carb to manifold gasket (eliminating the vacuum leak possibility there) to no avail. I'm thinking another attempt at either cleaning or replacing the points might be the fix ? Any thoughts ? On the subject of point cleaning, I've had pretty good success removing the points & lightly sanding them with a drum sander on a Dremel tool. I just did a 13hp cast iron Briggs I just picked up that way & she purrs like a tom cat in a meat house. The THD I bought came with the factory side mounted fuel tank. I'm still working on the TJD (pre start prep, like you did here). Fortunately it came with the electric start option, but no fuel tank. A side note on telling the THD"s, TFD's & TF's apart from the TJD's is those 3 have (when equipped with magneto as opposed to the ones with a distributor) the plug wires directly across from one another on the mag cover, whereas the TJD the plug wires are diagonal from one another. You might keep an eye peeled for an old Power King tractor (50's - very early 60's vintage ) for your THD, as some of them came with either a THD or TJD. Thanks for the great informative video & I hope you've had a good summer & had some time for your own projects (trucks, etc) now & then between shows & work. Keep the videos coming !
@5Tractorguy6 жыл бұрын
I was surprised he said yes when I offered that. And pretty dang happy! He also had a V4 powered Lincoln welder there too but with my lack of room I didn't offer anything for it. How does the throttle butterfly look on that carburetor? The carb on the THD that came off my Hobart had a worn throttle butterfly from being rattled back and forth for so long. Even backing the screw on the bell-crank out all the way out it wouldn't idle down because it was still sucking air/fuel past the worn portion of the butterfly. That would be my best guess. If not that, the idle circuit is clogged in the top half of the carburetor, or the idle tube in the center of the lower portion... one with the brass tube pressed into it (not the main jet that comes out at an angle). Good to know! Now that I think of it I always thought TJD's came with a distributor, but I guess not! I have been looking for an Economy for a long time now but everyone around here wants $1000/+ on average for them. I'd like one but not that bad! Time has been scarce, this has been a very busy/good year for work/business, but I do have to start taking some time for myself this fall. As long as I can keep things moving during the week I may make an effort to get some projects rolling on the weekends for video material. But we'll see!

How do i clean the oil air filter on a Wisconsin TE TF
@willyck9484 жыл бұрын
I'm going to work on a pair of twin Wisconsin one is tfd other is thd both have been sitting over 25 years. I want to hear them run before investing much money into them. Is there a way to prime the oil pump without removing the sump and having to replace gaskets on what could be a worn out engine?
@5Tractorguy3 жыл бұрын
If they have a small 1/8 pipe plug on the carburetor side of the block, that should be a port for a oil gauge. And direct access to an oil galley. You can try pumping oil in with a can. I've never had an issue with these getting prime though.

@@5Tractorguy I couldn't tell if oil pump was working till I removed the crankcase vent check valve because oil would spit out or get sucked in Once I removed the check valve oil was flowing out oil port no problem. I didn't think about shooting oil into the fitting with an oil can will do that when I get to the THD thankyou for the suggestion👍 B.T.W. I did test fire the TFD and it runs good going to buy parts to complete the THD soon😉

Hello maestro! I own you a video with my Onan like engine. I'll posted soon missed time for this. I have a russian engine, from electric generator, and I see is almost like Wisconsin engine you have. Have not the electric starter, but manual or foot only. I'll make a video too, to see. My english is broken, so forgive my grammatical errors.

Hay man how do you take the engine apart from the rest of the welder
@5Tractorguy Жыл бұрын
There's a bolt that runs straight though the welder armature into the end of the engine crank.
