Well I finally decided to bite the bullet and ordered a water pump kit from Hoye tractor. The 1700 does OK but I'm always watching the temp gauge I had put on.
Hopefully the new pump will keep the temp at 190 or below. Time wll tell. Any how I'm anxious to get it installed.
Does anyone have any comments on this welder. They are sold by TSC and claim will weld up to 3/16 inch. 110 V.
Thinking about buying one for general repairs. I have a 200 amp stick welder now, 220V.
What parts are needed to put a water pump on a YM1700. I've seen a kit advertised but it didn't list what all was in it. Mine wants to run 200-210 degrees when using a 4 foot bush hog on field grass. I'd rather see it around 160-180. Thanks for any info.
