Most people...The behemoth tractor, really is HEAVY! Most people do not know, that to pull the plough (with how many discs? I wonder ...) the tractor has to dig the ground to get enaugh traction. The BIG rear wheels are close to 90% filled with WATTER, to add more weight.un AUTiSTA DiSLÉXiCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135347635396373231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207547656747240266.post-54128109539026205012012-09-14T12:27:33.736-04:002012-09-14T12:27:33.736-04:00When working as a nomadic jungle mechanic, in 1974...When working as a nomadic jungle mechanic, in 1974, one of the engines I was giving maintenance, was a Ferguson Morse kerosene engine. Very much like an Otto motor: a one horizontal piston engine, one had to krank by hand, after opening the exhaust valve with a hand lever.<br /><br />The flywheel was like a steam locomotive wheel! The carburetor had to be emptied & filled with gasoline prior to kranking. The head had no cooling, the were called Hot Ball heads (Bola Caliente in Spanish) or the kerosene would not get ignited, by the GiGANTIC spark plug.<br /><br />Very much like the trailer, after the one you did not know what purpose, full of gears: my guess, its a drivable multypurpose power plant, for all types of farm work & processing machines.un AUTiSTA DiSLÉXiCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135347635396373231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207547656747240266.post-10675525436145947442012-09-14T12:08:42.866-04:002012-09-14T12:08:42.866-04:00HELLO! I see you got lucky with your Album. I once...HELLO! I see you got lucky with your Album. I once had a Tractor shop (1975, those were he days!), in the small village of Nepopualco, 10 min. drive above Talyacapan. There were some Farmalls & Fordsons working the fields: one Ford tractor, had a Fort model T gasoline engine! Still could get parts, in downtown Mexico city. Gaskets had to be hand-made. I like this tractor Album & the tools are fantastik1!.<br /><br />Google Service is very-very GOOD. This morning, my two blogs were unlocked, fully functional & NO more indecipherable capchas!un AUTiSTA DiSLÉXiCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135347635396373231noreply@blogger.com
