I pulled the tin off the gas 440 tonight as I'm going to try and shake the rust flakes out of the tank, inspect with flashlight and maybe reseal it as flakes sometimes plug lines. Red-kote liner the way to go?
I had a few other questions and will appreciate any answers to get me started.
Is the 20 psi oil pressure that I remember from last summer okay? There is a pressure gauge off block by dipstick but I plan to plumb it up behind steering wheel where I can see it and hopefully do so without cutting dash. I assume the sensor I saw where it came out of the block used to run an idiot light on the dash? I'd like to get that sorted as well. Yeah, I'm sourcing an operators manual tonight as I can't find the one I thought I had.
The coolant temp line coming out of the head has a tiny braided line that goes all the way to a non working gauge. Is that something I can test with a multitester or can someone point me toward a replacement sender and gauge?
Neck of radiator is open to atmosphere from tiny hole but it hasn't overheated yet. Should I JB weld that hole or have a radiator shop repair it? Tractor sees 50 hours of use a summer. Thanks for any help.
Oh, I've serviced one other type oil bath air cleaner before but never this one. Anything special about it? I assume it has a wire mesh element I clean with solvent, then air dry and refill with oil, is there a line to refill to? Thanks.
