It's looking really nice

well its been a long time, i bought a 78 F-150 that takes alot of my time.

None the less, i cut the POs inserted metal off the plow undercarriage and re-welded it to the correct length. and got the blade cleaned up and painted. I didnt spend much time on this stuff as it will get destroyed the first time out.

Your tractor looks great. It has been awhile since i have looked at this post. You have cone a long way with it.

Looking good. You got a thread on the F series somewhere?

126 problems with crank?
 

Been having some problems with the 126. Seems that when I turn right in second gear or above the pulley on the crank shifts back and grind on a bolt on the block? I can post pics if need be....anyone heard of this before?

Jim:bigthink:

So it has been a while. I have been busy with the 78' F-150, but i finished up the deck and plow.. minus the bar that moves it up and down (still need to bend that up)

Its not pretty, but its just going to get banged up anyways.

As for the gent lokking for the link to the 78' build... its low and slow, but here it is. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/14...4-rebuild.html

So, although it is pretty and nice now im still running into issues going full throttle and applying any load.

When i thro the speed lever all the way up to fast it bogs out. It will take 10-15 seconds to correct itself, or i can fiddle with the choke and it will return to normal RPM. I have no issue when i engage the mower deck, it only happens when i try to go fast or up a hill.

Im getting extremly frustrated and hopeing and praying that i dint mess something up on the rebuild.. becuse that thing is in there...


its hard to hear in the videos.. but

let me know if you cant click on the videos and i will put them youtube instead.

I didn't watch the video but from what you describe it sound like a fuel problem, something in the fuel system is plugged.

Good to see someone else w/an old Ford. I'm 79f3504x4 over there.
