Yeah, it was a fuel problem. I even posted the Carl vid of shame here when I figured it out. :D I've moved on to other problems since then like the alternator being bad (but I have multiple good battery chargers to keep things topped off for now). The new issue is a leaky rear wheel seal pushing...

I'll have to poke my head up under there but at first glance at these diagrams, the loop seems most likely. I hadn't considered the possibility of it looping though, only that the large wire went up to the gauge and there was a wire coming down from the gauge to the distribution block. It's the...

It looks to be the original meter with 2 terminals on it. I'm pretty sure that all the meters are more than likely 70 years old by the looks of them with some pretty severe fading. There's been some 'updating' to some of the wires in the past and even some of the 12V wires are showing some age...

That's more or less the conclusion I came to. The only 'questionable' part of the current wiring that differed from the diagram online is how the amp meter is wired. It is not running directly to the terminal block with a jumper to meter, but directly to the meter with a jumper to the terminal...

Sorry I don't have different colored wire but I DID continuity tests on each wire to make sure they went to the correct side of the distribution block.

So it's a fix one thing find another kind of tractor it seems. After *ahem* fixing the fuel issue, found a leak in the radiator. Long story short, 2nd replacement radiator is holding coolant so that's fixed (for now at least). During the course of burping the radiator I decided to start checking...

Have you noticed an increase or a decrease in your local roadrunner population? Are you finding random wooden crates with ACME stencils on them laying around? 😁

Checked all those things again including the clip and after pulling the sediment bowl realized that I'd failed the Carl test... despite it looking like there was gas in the tank, due to baffles... it was not full enough to feed the carb...🫣 I think I need to buy a pair of clown shoes after that...

I bought a 54 NAA from a guy a week or so ago and I'm stumped. Tractor fired up, ran around his yard, picked up a 5' Box Blade and drove onto my trailer then stalled out and battery died before getting it started again. No biggie, older battery, had started and stopped a few times so maybe not...

So, maybe the drain plug did finally work it's way out on the trip from local storage to my house. After the 'super snug' last night, this morning all seemed good other than low levels. Put around a half qt in and ran a purge sequence, little foamy. Ran another 2 sequence and it seems to be...

Yes, it's dirty and I'm a bad tractor-daddy for not giving her a proper bath after the last mow and pre-storage. All I had time for was a quick leaf blower clean before they loaded it up. These are one day after the first parts cleaner and wipe down yesterday.

Took another good look at it and video around the area and aside from a little side to side from the drain, I don't see anything wet. Gave the drain plug 'a little more' snug but it does not make sense for it to have been stored for 7 months without leaking if i hadn't tightened it up properly...

Hello, So, after shipping my cub from Washington state to Texas where it sat in bonded storage while we sold the old house and bought a new one here in Texas (Nov-July), I now have a leak in the transmission! I performed a oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, trans fluid and filter change...
