Stoped and saw kenny before this noon & my pickup will likely be done tomarow. I asked if their was any more suprises for me? guess one rod & piston was needed.
Speaking of a piston, today on e-bay I spyed a big old pistion in the Rumely tractors, I can not be sure if it's right for my 14-28 but it's very close as it is just under 7" in dia. and I always thought mine were around 7" I maybe sould watch that one close as if one was ever needed it could be years to never finding one. mine is a 1918 model H This was my dads and before that My grampas Company threashing Tractor. or Star Threashing Co. est. 1921 to 1952

Yes all was good for the 1st 12 miles or so, the plow gives it some class lol got to be carefull not to make my red tractors jellious of my green one. I have 3 walking plows and one sulkyplow I think this early JD tractor plow of around 1936 or so will make a kool desplay out around my new shop when it gets all organised and from time to time I can put my John Deere 1944 hand start B with it. Kinda extending my "STEEL" magnolah flower beds LOL.

Well Sir Willam 111 [bills old truck] is still feeding me lemon's as it is siting at the Verdigre ball park and woun't srart, just clicks loud when I try to start it. No I do not think it's the battery or a conection, at least at the terminals. This is starting to be fustrating.

Sounds like the starter took a crap on you Bounce. Not unusual to have happen after you rebuild an engine's bottom end. If you have a weak starter and then you have a bottom end rebuilt it really shows up any weaknesses in the starting system. I have had two engines do this to me when I had the bottom end or the whole engine rebuilt. My guess is when you finally get the bugs worked out that old truck is going to go another 100,000 if you don't get pissed and sell it first. By the looks of things its a good thing for you that I sold it too you cheap.

The symptoms sound like it might be the solenoid attached to the starter.

Good point Jack. I'm not sure if the solenoid is attatched to the starter on that Ford. Many of the Fords have the solenoid on the fender. If that is the case they are reasonably cheap and easy to change. Many of todays starters with the solenoid attatched are riveted on forcing you to change the starter and solenoid as a unit. One would have to look to be sure.
Bill's right, increasing compression will find the weakest link which is usually the starter.

If you have to sell a vehicle to a friend or relative, it's a good idea to sell it cheap, might save a friendship or prevent a family squabble. My dad traded a '59 Plymouth Station wagon to his brother in law for a black & white TV in '66. The car was our family car, so it seemed to be in good running order. A couple days later my uncle headed off to Florida in it. He made it about 40 miles and the engine blew.... Oh yeah, we used that old TV for 6 or 7 years.... ;D

That's why I sold it for less than I was offered for it on a trade. ;D That and the fact I did not want to have to drag it all the way back to where I bought my truck from. It actually saved me money selling it for less than I would of received in a trade. Bounce was looking for a truck and I thought what the heck. Save him some money and myself some at the same time. I never dreamed that the oil pump might go out. Always figured that he would need to get new tires long before he would have an engine problem. Its my bet that that truck will be on the road a long time to come though. I know Bounce. Put it this way, IF and WHEN Bounce gets rid of a vehicle there isn't enough left to make it worth fixing up for anyone. His motto is good to the last drop. ;D
