Decided to do a little TLC on a W-6 I bought a few years ago. Came with a FH F10 on it. First was ti clean the sediment bowl so it could get gas. Then tires fixed enough so it could be moved with first airing tires up Then the loader came off and was parked again.
Turned out the screen I put in the sediment bowl was to tight and still couldn't fuel to the carb. Pulled the bowl assembly off and drilled the hole bigger so the rust would fall into the bowl easier.Rinsed tank out with water then let white vinegar set over night (don't think that helped any).
Tightened up the draw bar as I had to drop part of it to detach the loader. Put lots of anti-sieze in the spacers as they where froze to the bolt. Then pulled the grille and hood off to straighten both of them some. There not getting body shop treatment. Good thing I pulled the hood as I noticed the upper radiator hose kinked.
Wished I had a pressure washer as the engine needs a bath bad. Radiator has mouse nest between grille and radiator. Will have to see if I have a extra light for LH side. Will have see how it runs and then see if there any brakes left. Feels like something come apart on the bands. No pedal at all Enjoy the pictures and the story.Power steering reservoir was empty, so refill will show where the leaks are.
