I'll tell you like my 17 yr old grand son....measure the length of old hoses BEFORE taking apart and pay attention to how they fit on the ends lengthwise. The rad hoses are just straight hose. The bypass hose can be bought at auto supply as a trim to fit 90. Probably all available from AGCO but maybe cheaper from NAPA.

That used to be true in our area, but NAPA has gone absolutely crazy on prices around here. I like NAPA's stuff, but I have found that I can buy most stuff from a dealer cheaper than NAPA.

i have to get a new radiator. what do i do with the old one

a bypass hose is normally a bout 3/4 inch diameter... and goes around the thermostat.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

That particular carb part was NEVER available from AC some 50 or more years ago. Roberts should know that !! Call Bill Deppe in Maquoketa and get a used carb or he probably has one ready to go.

I wouldn't waste my time. Use it for any good parts it might have. Get a different carb.

Bill Deppe will not have a "new" carb, but will probably have a used/rebuilt carb ready to go. 563-357-2615

With the new radiator in place and a different lower radiator hose the tractor doesn't get over 120 much.
The hosr came from a different wd and had been on that tractor for at least 50 years with no damage

3/4"

If they haven't been turned for a while, they turn very hard. I spray them for a couple days with Kroil before I even try them. I always use a 6 point socket. I have a long 3/4" drive breaker bar and two 3/4" drive 3/4" impact sockets; one regular and one deep well. I have never had this setup fail me yet.

When I was a kid, I remember Dad using a 1/2" drive 3/4" socket, extension and a 1/2" breaker bar (all Craftsmen). If he couldn't turn them, he would put his Handyman jack under the breaker bar. Many times, he actually jacked the back tire off the ground. If it still didn't loosen, he would hit it with a sledgehammer. It either loosened or broke the socket, extension or breaker bar. Sears replaced a lot of them!!!

A good video but I do not reuse lock washers. Once flattened they loose their lock the next time. Found that out on a Onan engine after I replaced the sump gasket. Had to pull the engine again to replace the lock washers after the engine vibrated loose and began leaking oil. No issue after replacing them.

What would happen if I put the wrong carburetor on a tractor.
For example a Ford carburetor on ona wd45

how does the rod with thegreen arrow pointing at it attach to the tractor. one of mine is broken.

Can you mark the connection point

An attempt to answer the carburetor question: A carburetor is spec'd and configured to fit and work properly on a specific engine. It is designed to start well at almost any temperature. It is designed to allow the engine to operate from 400 RPM idle speed up to the maximum speed the engineers designed the engine for. It is designed to produce a specific HP and fuel consumpion at a specific engine speed. I can't imagine what you're trying to do, but you'll save yourself a lot of time and $$$$ by just using what carb the tractor/engine was designed for.

how exactly do i acces the brake rod toggel bolt so i can replace the rod and remove the broken part from the toggel pin

Thanks
How do I get to the bolt so I can remove it
Is the brake rod on a wd the same as a wd45
