Hello, A/C guys.
I've got a NH 1280 self-propelled baler that someone repowered with an
A/C model B-15 power unit. Who ever did the re-power did a very nice job.
Made the appropriate belt covers as needed and such.
It might be just a touch underpowered for the baler, but it works for me.
However, this year and toward the end of last year, it would run good and work for
an hour or so, the just cough, sputter and act like no gas and finally die.
So I would take the carb apart, blow it out, put it back on and away we'd go for a while.
I've kinda come to the conclusion that perhaps the Mag is a bit weak and while I was
"cleaning" the carb, the engine and Mag cooled enough so it would run again.
I have run into that over the years while I was a farm machinery mechanic.
Upon closer inspection, I see it has a different than original Mag on it.
It has a type J mag on it. I was wondering if I changed the condenser in the mag if that
would help. Also I know of a couple of little A/C combines that have power units on them.
I assume those mags would work on mine? Also not sure where to go to fine a tune up
kit for the Mag either. I'll try the Agco dealer tomorrow. that should give them a laugh!! I've worked on lots of different engines over the years, but
very few A/C's.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
