Congrats on your tractor. I hope you named the thing thunder or lightning ECT. I'm not nearly that lucky. It got hot enough to melt the carburetor bowl, and all the radiator solder joints. Every hose is burnt, guages, seat, wiring, basically any soft part was ruined. On the engine the paint isn't even discolored which I was glad to see. I guess all the old grease protected it in a way. The starter didnt burn either which is odd considering the burn patterns. Ill most likely replace the starter to be safe.
I have most of the parts required to make it run now. I still need the steering pump, hoses, and the ignition components. With all my hoses being burnt and gone in some cases they are proving to be more of a challenge to replace Vs. the rest of the parts. I'm hoping to find someone around the Kansas city area that has one of these tractors so I can get some measurements in the near future.
I think several of the 1970s industrials use the same hydraulic hoses. Mf20, mf30 mf40 ECT.
Thanks for the info on the pictures. I was very confused. lol
