New to me, 882
 

Hey guys! wanted to share with you my acquisition news- got a 882 last week. Spent Saturday checking it out and a good cleanup-inside and out!
found the following items to attend to-
Alternator has no output- PO bought a Denso replacement but still in box.
wiring in good shape but need to chase down some gremlins
PO installed a gear reduction starter but did not do enough clearance work around the hot starter cable - almost shorting out
pressure relief valves on the hydro unit weeping out vent holes- if there anyone close to me that repairs them?
I did install the new alternator- the pivot boss from the old alt is the perfect thickness to be used as a spacer for the new alt install- so I cut it off and used it with a 60 mm bolt. Wiring was very easy- now was 14.5 volt output!
SO- gave it a through bath- fixed a few items- found some items needing attention - making plans on what to do next- adjusting the starter side engine bracket is next so there is no melt down and the hydro leak. Man- was that little tractor dirty!! It almost took more time to clean the driveway than it did to clean the tractor! more to come latter-

Looks like a great project! Have fun. Tell us more about that Jeep wagon in the background.

You have a month and a half till AJ's get it ready

Sweet tractor! Love them diesels!

Hi Mike! I was just thinking of you- I need to ask is there anyone close that repairs relief valves? I also think I need to look for some new wheels- the rust pits are really deep. Got any for sale?
I was thinking of taking it to AJ's but I have not trailer- yet.
And I really got to get the starter issues addressed asap!
It is a cool little tractor- I have always wanted one- now I got it!
thanks for your input- Pete

I believe this will be a great project- cool little tractor.
The Willis Jeep is for sale- no time and interests have wandered
It is a 1961 Wagon- Has a Chevy 350 and turbo 350 behind it, Dana 44 - 3.73 in the rear - still need to install the front one. Still have the 6 cyl flat head Hurricane and old trans that was original - fresh paint- no rust. It would look great with a trailer full of old cubs behind it!

Great looking Cub, Pete! Congrats!!:beerchug:
