I have had my Ford 1964 650 Tractor for 8 months now. I have completed the Hydraulic lift rebuild with the help of the good folks on this forum. Again I am a newbie when it comes to
mechanics so bear with me on the basic questions below. In my short time owning this old beauty, I have learned if its still working but maybe not 100%, hold off on the repair, as I have
broken so many other things attempting to fix the task at hand. However, its been a lot fo fun. Plan on posting pics once completed with everything. But I have got to use it to mow and
box blade the driveway!!!
1. Temp Gauge - does it have to have power to it to work? I installed he new gauge and cable into the block of engine (wish I would have drained coolant first hahaha) and still not
working.
2. Exhaust tail pipe bracket needed? I purchased http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Ford-600_Exhaust-Pipe-Horizontal_R1613.html , and have the mounts to attach to muffler, but not
sure what and where to attach underneath the tractor.
3. Headlights - Well the were working but when I ungraded the gauges, the cooper oil pressure line touched the power wire to the on/off switch and sparked like crazy! SO not lights not
working. Not sure where to start.
PS- Gauges were a Pain In the A$$ getting in and the cables attached to the engine... not sure they were worth the trouble.... main one I care about the temp gauge and is not working
