I've noticed that the fan blade wobbles and it leaks when it is moved by hand. Strangly it's ok when running, no leaks. I have ordered a new one, is there anything I should look for or be aware of when changing it out next week?

Who makes the best aftermarket snap-coupler to 3pt conversion? Mine has one but it is a cobbled mess and I still have to remove it to use the drawbar.


Can an AC 3 bottom plow be easily converted to 3pt? Or will it be impossible to get it setup/tuned correctly?

I'm going to have it converted from generator to alt and should I switch it over to negitive ground at this time, or will that be more trouble that it is worth.

I'm not worried about it's collector value (if there even is any), but rather having a handly reliable tractor. jh

I have an allis 3 bottom plow I think was converted from snap coupler. If you go to Link there are some pictures of a 3 bottom. The main bar just below were the top link hooks is were the two bottom links will attach. My plow looks exactly like this except that main bar has attachments on each end for the tractor bottom link. A good machine shop might be able to make a bar.

I can only help with one of your questions, if your going with an alternator it has the be negitive ground or you will burn out the alternator the first time you turn the key on.

Old- Thanks for the reply. In your post, when you say "it" must be (-) negative ground, are you refering to the alternator or the tractor must be wired for (-) negative ground?

This whole (+) ground this is really screwy! The generator has never worked since I bought the tractor last year, and I really cringe everytime I go to charge the battery..... hahaha jh

Well the way an alternator works its case is ground and if its not negative it will burn it out, also means you need to switch your coil wires to get a good spark.
