Is that a TJD Wisconsin? I used to work on those back in the 80's. Had a farm supply dealer that ran several of them on various different pieces of equipment.. They had a very unique sound especially under a hard load..
Good engines though... just bulky and heavy  |
It is a TF, we think. Long story short the original engine blew about 15 -20 years ago in the middle of baling wheat straw. Someone had give dad this one but it didn't have electric start. So we had to transfer all of the sheet metal over to this one. The IH dealer dad worked for was also a Wisconsin dealer. Back in the 80's they worked on a ton of these. I just robbed the starter and starter gear off a TJD to go on this one, going to switch carb to. Hopefully the new carb will work, its a fixed jet. The old one is shot where the throttle shaft goes through the body. Being on a baler, you can imagine how bad the governor surge is with every plunger stroke. I doubt Kohler or Onan either one ever built an engine that would tolerate the abuse a Wisconsin will.
