Another update, sucked it up, bought two new yokes. 1-1/8” shaft, 6 coarse spline, 1200 series PTO shaft yoke. They were $66 a piece plus tax. The new ones had holes on either side for a roll pin to go through so I tapped them, and put in bolts, with a jam but to really secure them on the splines. Worked very well actually, those two new yokes don’t wobble at all, but the front yoke right at the gearbox for the controls, wobbles a lot still. Never even thought to get a new yoke for the front. I should get a new yoke for it as well.
rad cap was not sealing in the least, so I put on a new one, and oh my lanta did I figure out how much my rad leaks when under pressure. I really don’t feel like repairing all the leaks, so I dumped a thing of rad stop leak into it. See how it works out, if it helps at all.
Engine still won’t fire without ether down the throat turning over, my batteries aren’t strong enough to keep it turning at the fully charged battery state. Also tried to get the generator phased and I couldn’t figure it out. From my memory of taking the field wire off the generator and then sparking it from the positive battery post a couple times did make a decent spark, but when I stuck my volt meter on it to see if it was charging I had no voltage coming from the field post. Or the other one.
grader has fresh oil, fresh fuel filters, topped up coolant with rad stop leak, new yokes and U joints on the pto shafts.
I took it out for a little work on the drive way again, last time I did it I left washboards in it. I wanted to improve it. So made a few passes.
Second time playing in the grader since my surgery.
