Possible 682
 

Just got pictures of a 682 that might be possibly coming my way this week. It's a little rough, and needs some TLC...But talking about trading a NF blade, chains, and $25 for it. So, if the motor is junk (Worse scenario)..I'm not out a terrible amount. :beerchug:

Been messaging back and forth this evening..And it looks like he's gonna be delivering Tuesday evening! :beerchug:

Congrats buddy!

I'll go ahead and take it off your hands for you, to save you the aggravation of working on it.:biggrin2:

Thanks, Allen! :beerchug:





Unless I somehow blow it up, I think I will keep it to work on! :biggrin2:

Well, it looks like I will be expecting the 682 tomorrow. The guy is coming from OH, near Lima..and should be here sometime around 7:00 PM. Will be getting some pictures as soon as it gets here! Pretty excited to get my first actual red 82 series. :beerchug:



I'm sure I will also have a "wanted" ad, for the parts I will need to get this bad boy running. :ThumbsUp:

Cool deal, Conner! Can't wait to see your pics.

Thanks, Allen! :beerchug:




They will be posted! :biggrin2: :beer2:

Here she is! :beerchug:




Not extremely pretty, but with some new wiring..Should be a good running tractor, AND my first red 82 series! :ThumbsUp:







Tomorrow, I am planning on putting my True Powers/rims on (since I'm not using them), and pulling the motor so that I can get in there better to thoroughly re-wire this thing.

Looks good Conner!:beer2:
Sure is a project but it will be fun!:biggrin2:

Thanks, Sam!




Yeah, I think It will look ALOT better once I get some good tires on it, and get things like the grille back on. :beerchug:

Oh man Conner you better watch out for that
Red Fever
Cause once you get it you can`t ever get rid of it.:biggrin2:

""Not extremely pretty, but with some new wiring..Should be a good running tractor, AND my first red 82 series! :ThumbsUp:""



It sure won't be your last red one. I started with one red one and now have two. Of course, the yellow ones still out number the red ones. :biggrin2:

Nice find and save on the 682. Now ya need a 782. :beerchug:

Nice 682, you'll have it going in no time.

Very nice, Conner! Good luck on your 682.

I hear it's worse than yellow fever! :beer2:

Thanks! I think she still has a lot of life left in her!


A 782 would be nice, someday! :biggrin2:

Thanks, Tyler!...I sure hope so!

Thanks, Allen!




I suspect there will be more pictures tomorrow! :biggrin2:

Can someone tell me what 2050595U688025 on the serial number tag would make it? I can't find a look up.. :bash2:

Looks like its a January of 81.:beerchug:

Last year!! Sweet!! :beerchug:

Today I got the engine out, and examined my electrical issue. The old harness has been cut in many places, and the one he bought on Ebay is a home-made, cobbed up, wiry mess! :biggrin2:




So, I worked on getting the bad out...And have decided to make a temporary "redneck wiring harness". I'm going to run electric from the battery to a push button, then to the starter. That will take care of my starting situation. Then, I'm going to run another wire from the battery, to a switch, to the coil. That will take care of my spark. :beerchug:





I will probably run it like this for awhile. When I paint it..I can do it the proper way. :ThumbsUp:

ok...where do you people find these great deals?

Conner you took the engine out the hard way. When you put it back in, I would recommend bolting the engine to the plate and then bolting the plate to the frame. Also be sure that you have the spacers between the plate and the engine installed.

AJ

They find me! :beer2:





Well, you see...It was already unbolted, and was just sitting on the plate. So I just lifted it out. :biggrin2:



What are these spacers like? I never saw any while taking it out..but it seemed lined up with the shaft... :bigthink:

Anyone have pictures of these spacers? I do not see any here..But the engine seemed to be aligned with the shaft ok.

They are 0.469" long (IIRC) with a 5/16" ID and perhaps a 5/8" OD. There's one under each mounting bolt, and the engine is not properly aligned without them.

You're off to a great start, buddy!

So, do they go under the plate? Or between the engine and the plate?





Thanks, Allen! :beerchug:

The spacers go between the plate and the engine. In other words, the spacers sit on top of the plate, then you set the engine on top of the spacers.

I've checked...I defiantly don't have the spacers. Looks like I'm just going to take the dimensions to the hardware store and pick 4 up. :beerchug:

Got some better rears on the back, to help in rolling. Now just need to get a tube in the front right tire. :beerchug:





Once my new push button starter from Ebay comes in, and I get some spacers, I can try and see if she will run.









At first, I was a little overwhelmed by this tractor. But looking at it, now...It really doesn't look so bad. :ThumbsUp:

Maybe I should have sold you my 682 Connor. The one I have is not a whole lot more disassembled that that one!

AJ

I will take another!

It may need more than a push button starter to run. Maybe an engine? :biggrin2:

Yes, doctor...I do indeed plan on putting the engine back in! :biggrin2:
