This is a major project to remove all the paint from one of these I have a new respect for the guys that go show quality on these machines.
This is NOT a show tractor, this is just a good clean unit. It still has some of the dents and dings, and the paint job is not that great but the next owner can yell about that. It will probably be a mower in a year or so.
I will wet these decals and apply!
Looks like I am taking a night off from hunting and siding work to work on the 147 for a while. And will try to get the decals in place.

Hey on the timing. I followed Matt's instructions but it was my first time. Can I screw this up in some way? Like maybe having the S mark in the timing hole when its on the wrong stroke of the piston. I over think things too much sometimes, but I like very detail instructions too. And I have been know to make dumb mistakes with the best of them!

Chris thanks for having a awesome rebuild thread to keep me glued to! Make sure you are turning the motor the same direction as the start does? If not there is some backlash in the cam gears and that will throw you off. Also check those grounds! It's a common problem on repaint/restores.

Looking good Chris. Remember you need to kill something to keep yourself full of fuel! Highly nutritious venison is best

Good luck in the deer woods.

Chris,
Looks like you may get done before I do....I had ordered a seat about 3 weeks ago....contacted the seller, it appears that UPS lost it somewhere

. So, here I sit (or rather stand) waiting on a seat to arrive, got it pretty much whipped except for the seat and clear coating the hood...maybe tomorrow I can get the hood done.

Good luck on your hunting, those small deer make you have to be a better shot...LOL!

Sure is looking great! I love the red and the name 147R too!

I cant see nothing in that last picture?

Westofb, thats to bad about your seat. Hope it shows up!
You could get one like mine. Its bullet proof and drys quick! lol

Looking at the shaft output of the engine, that's counterclockwise for a Kohler, right? That was something I was trying to figure out when I did my static timing. Matt's instructions just say "direction of normal rotation."

So I did some searches here and found where people said they turned counterclockwise, as I recall...

I don't know of any internal combustion engine that does NOT run clockwise. Rotation of the shaft is dependent on how you'r viewing it. Therefore turn the flywheel clockwise to set timing. I think I just set myself for some type of education on oddball engines.

Now that you mention it, I think it *was* clockwise that I was setting to. I'm pretty sure I remember the "S" coming from the bottom of the blower housing up toward the peep hole, which would indicate clockwise. I couldn't remember what I read a few weeks back.

But I'm going to double-check it...

CCW from the PTO end, or CW from the flywheel end, however you want to look at it.

If that's how you want to define the direction of 'normal' rotation, then the Kubota diesels turn backwards, because flywheel is at the front of the tractor on those models so that the transmission is turning the correct direction.

Most European aircraft reciprocating engines turn the opposite direction of American engines, as well.

LarryW · #**179** 10-26-2011, 08:24 PM

I guess an easy way to find out what way it goes without starting it is to look at the hook hub thing on the flywheel that connects the driveshaft.

Sugarmaker · #**180** 10-26-2011, 09:40 PM

Well I followed Matts instructions. And was not sure about the rotation I think its in the book some where??? Anyway I pulled a Casbohm and went to the sugarhouse and clicked over the 127. And it turns as Matt says CCW when standing in front of the tractor.
So I had the rotation correct as I did the static timing.
Matt the piston has to be on TDC on the compression stroke, right? With the head on I took off the valve cover and the valves both have a gap at or near that point (TDC) where the points break open. So thats How I set the point break using the OHM meter.
OK Carb installation question? I have a new thick plastic gasket about 3/16 thick and I also have a thin normal gasket too. Do they both go on and which one near the block?

I will try to get some pictures on later. If you guys answer the carb gasket question

Regards,
Chris
