Newbie to the site. I normally am a Farmall man. I've taken on a project to overhaul a D-14 for the wife's uncle. I've totally overhauled the engine. New radiator, hoses, water pump, new pistons, rings, head reworked, new bearings after the crank was ground, new exhaust manifold, carb overhaul, etc. Rewired the whole tractor. Working on the rear end as well. Left brake is shot, right one just barely works. New rear tires, old ones are shot with chunks missing and more coming out of the casings. (PIA to get rid of the calcium chloride) Anyway,
Question #1 It will not start. It ran when I pulled it into the garage. The timing is set to factory specs. I've installed a new carb kit including a new valve and seat. Even with the gas shut off, I get liquid fuel in the intake of the carb while I'm cranking it over. I did find the float had been rubbing on the carb housing. (I've corrected that.) Bad float? I know I'm getting spark to the spark plugs as I pulled #1 and laid it next to a ground and I am getting a spark.
Question #2 Any secrets to removing the final drive/rear axle housing? It appears the rear axle seal is leaking and I know the seal next to the transmission is leaking. Also, I suspect the brake shoes/drum are shot. I plan on replacing both sides.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
