Rebuilding the D14 backhoe/loader

On my D-17 Series I, that rod goes from the choke shaft to a slot in the side shield near your left foot.  I don't have any pics of it.  It doesn't come close to the instrument panel.  Maybe somebody on here has a pic?  I'll look and see what I can find.

OK ,,Ted,,,i see it in the pic,,, this tractor didn't have the side covers when I got it and don't think,,at this point,,that I'll make some for it, so I'll have to fashion some small bolt on brackets for the rod. Thanks for your takin time to look into this for me,,,,,
Dismounted the old wore out front caissons, and cleaned up and primered the front wheels. These look to have been all orange inside and outside,,,,Right,,,????

hehehehehe...gimme yer hand....i'll lead you!

It's still too cold for me to vist the 'boys' BUT the wheels go on either way depending on the 'width' or 'track' or 'spread' you want to run the tractor on. That depends on crop spacing. I think there's 2" offset, so 4" overall. So you've got a 50-50 chance of the valve stems being outside as opposed to inside....

Hey Jay,,,yeah, I had checked the back spacing,,,just seems that the "smooth" side would be on the side the valve hole is,,but no matter,,,I'm gonna put the smooth, pretty side to the outside,,,,,
Hey 1953,,,thanks for that info, Guy,,,,,I appreciate your time and efforts,,,

and I see.....(gasp)...something green in that pic! I gots a tear running down my cheek....I feel...so...

    I gots a tear running down my cheek""
   whimper,,,,snif,,,snif,,,whimper,,,,was you feelin bad for that POS carb,,,,,or ole Joe,,,,,??? makes a difference,,,Ya know,,,,,,

Hey Thanks Darrel,,,,,I'm thinkin you're right in that this one is goin to be more of a "work tractor,,,but I AM goin to paint it up to copy one in a video of an industrial backhoe/loader I saw a long time ago,,I think on Youtube and it was all orange too,,, if I remember right the Guy said his had a "Shawnee" loader, where this one has the Allis hoe and loader,,
Ya know,,,I just can't leave things alone, cause I like for them to look nice as well as run and work well. Fact is,,,a contractor friend of mine is supposed to come over Tuesday morning and brush blast and primer the backhoe and loader for me,,,so things are movin along.
I'm STILL having issues with the dang carb flooding tho,,, so I took it off AGAIN Grrrrr,,!!!! but I did find something odd,,,, the dang floats had collapsed inwards,,,,????Now,,what the hades caused that,,??? I had another carb off the B engine and is the same float,,but it was collapsed the same way,,,!!!!?????? what the hades????? Put em both in some gas and they WILL float,,,, but barely,,,?????
Fixin to call Rick see if he got one,,puzzling,,,for sure

My floats on the 15 carb were collapsed in.  And the sidewall of the bowl busted out.  I always thought it was rain water filling the bowl and freezing.

Yeah.. I haven't had a chance to post a little short video I shot where I fired it up for second!

Blow up the front tires.... There is a chance you got a couple of the lines crossed to the control valve.   I remember reading about that a while back. I would be more concerned that it is a problem with the pump though sounds alot like when I run out of oil in my d15. Not sure if there is a good place to test the pressure in that setup but you need to figure out if the lines to the control valve are correct and then if the pump is working.

   Thanks for chiming in Dan,,,The only line I took off was the big suction line from the reservoir, and the other lines were left intact when I removed the whols assy and I sealed up the two openings. It looks to be a BFJ to get the pump off and was hopin for an easier fix or borry'in somebody's magic wand,,,,
You can't even get to the adjustment screw, to see if relief valve is stuck open,,unless I torch cut a chunk out of the right hand main side support,,,,,what to do,,,,what to do,,,????

Well,,,I didn't do CHIT to anything today,,,,it been colder than Blair for the last 3 days it was 31 this morn and I think the high was all the way up to 38,,,,, BUT,,,BUT,,,it gonna be in the hi 60's tomorrow,,,,,!!!
In between the drizzles, I run out to the D14 and took a quick look to see how big a job it gonna be to remove the pump,,,and Like I said,,,it goin to be a BFJ,,,!!!! Much as I HATE to consider it,,,,prolly faster to remove the whole PS reservoir to get to the pump,,,,CHIT ,,CHIT,,,CHIT,,,,

I like the idea of testing it with the front wheels in the air. Best part is you have that built in hydraulic lift.... have to love the loader when you need to do anything to the front wheels.
