    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Calm down buddy lol I feel the excitement. I'm just saying what I read. But I literally just took a video like 30 minutes ago around the tractor explaining this issue. You want me to email you or message you the link so I don't violate any rules I'm not seeing?

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    That was another thing I was considering, a repower. Any ideas on an engine that would fit? Saw a guy that slapped a JD on a TD18. I've measured but that engine won't fit. Was like a jd466 or something. I did hear that a IH 560 would work. Haven't checked any further than what I am saying...

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Thank you for that info. And I forgot I asked about the water pump on red power and actually got a response. I need to pump it with a bit of grease to see if it helps reseat the seals. If not I'll probably pull it off and send it in. Also I was looking at my linkages and need to do a bit of...

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Yeah I was seeing that they were pretty thin. By the way I immediately search that Perkins setup. That is ingenious! Now I'm just looking for the best style for my situation. I figure if it works good enough I may just have a custom intake made and slap it on totally deleting the gas and saving...

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Do you remember where on the manifold you tapped that device in at? Also sorry for the quotes and stuff. Still figuring this place out. I was using redpower but that more or less turned into a joke and getting yelled at by old heads.

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Definitely appreciate that response. Sounds like a simple enough deal and it makes sense to me. Yes I have heard about the heads but I agree with you on the excessive cooling maintenance and observations. Should help anyway. I.am certainly trying to take care of this machine and make it work...

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Yeah that's what I was wondering and unsure about. From what I am starting to understand it does seem the spark plugs may be isolated altogether. It was just a thought. But I agree with the block heater suggestion. Also one would think as you suggested, because I did, that if you just idled it...

    1947 TD14 Intermittent Spark

    Well I broke it all down today and if this thing isn't all original parts minus the points I'd be surprised. The condenser broke apart as I was taking it out so that's getting replaced, points were a bit blackened so I cleaned them, one spring on the impulse is busted, and the coil has...

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Good to know. I was trying it earlier but I didn't have the diesel on. I was considering trying to put glow plugs in to help it.

    1947 TD14 direct start on Diesel?

    Is it possible to direct start these things on diesel? Just curious if a guy switched the spark plugs out for glow plugs if it would fire over that way? Also just how important is it to start on gas and shut down on gas? I've heard all the stories but still curious.

    1947 TD14 Intermittent Spark

    Completely irregular spark. It's there and then it's not. No specific pattern. It's not there more than it is. Plugs are new, wires old, cap old, rotor old and beaten, ground to short wire missing, I was getting spark directly off the Mag wire but didn't check it repeatedly to see if it was...

    1947 TD14 water pump leaking

    My td14 is leaking around the shaft that comes out of the water pump. Are these meant to be grease packed and sealed ? Or is this a different issue?

    1947 TD14 gas/diesel lever issue

    So I went out to try and start this thing and I was just wiggling switches and levers to make sure all was good. Gas/diesel lever was in the gas position and when I flipped it to diesel it flung up fast as usual but now acts spring loaded and will only remain in the diesel position. Any ideas...
