4xbill 2 Posted July 21, 2007 Picked up this little thing today, too. Cleaned out the tank, checked oil added new gas and she fired up. Ran and cut OK. Started surging and struggling under a load. Any ideas? What's a comon casue for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom_Byrne 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Probably a dirty carb, especially if it's been sitting. Take it apart and clean everything and it should be OK. The tank may also be dirty so you may want to check that too. Is that the same tractor that was on eBay a few times? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarksA-C 93 Posted July 21, 2007 Cool Deal! dOd I agree with Tom about the carb. Later on when you get the chance add a fuel filter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4xbill 2 Posted July 22, 2007 Tom, yes it was. Have you ever bought anything from that guy? I went to Clifton to pick it up. Talk about a warehouse full of "stuff", holy cow. They clean out estates. Mark, already cleaned the tank and added a filter. I'll have to take the whole carb off and clean it up. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I even have a street that has my last name on it. "Stanchak Ct." off of Allwood Rd. named after my Great Uncle, Nicholas Stanchak (whom I am named after) who was killed in WW2.

4xbill 2 Posted July 23, 2007 It's at 1500 Main Ave. It looks to be an old factory or mill, converted to warehouse/studio space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am familiar with the building. My great-grandmother worked there when it was the Woolen Mills. Neat little machine BTW. 8D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom_Byrne 0 Posted July 24, 2007 No, I never bought anthing from that guy Bill, but he seems to have some interesting stuff on his auctions when I run into them. When i first saw that tractor I thought it was neat, but it was a little pricey at the time. I know he kept lowering the price so i guess you got a deal! Good luck with it.
