Thought I would follow up on the status of the 1918 30-60 Aultman Taylor that we started for the first time in about ten years. First I was planning on taking a bunch of pictures of how to go about changing the oil and other maintenance on a tractor like this but the sun wasn’t out so I didn’t take that kind of pictures will do later and create a nice maintenance instructions for all to see if interested. It may surprise you to know that this tractor has a 1360 cubic inch engine but yet the crankcase only holds about 3 quarts of 40-wt non-detergent oil. There is a oilier though that feeds some of the parts. The radiator holds about 100 gallons of water. There is about 30 grease points. Normal maintenance and first start up normally takes me about 4 hours working at a average pace. The one thing that I had to do this year was have the gas tank boiled out and lined both inside and out. This cost a little over $100 and was done at Browns Radiator shop here in Evansville In. Also put on some new 3/8 pipe for gas line and replaced the settlement bowl. Added Stabil, Lead additive, and a carb cleaner to the gas. Now its time to oil all the exposed rocker arms, valves. Also primed the oilier by placing some oil into the lines. To start it we primed the cylinders and took the 3-foot long crank and turned it over. To are surprise it fired on the second pull, and started on the fourth pull. It ran decent but it was only running on two cylinders so we replaced two fouled spark plugs and know is running really good. Yep I know I was lucky for it to start that easy and run that good after sitting for about ten years. I hope to start it a little more often once I get it up to my barn. I think my son will enjoy that. Charlie English Jr.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
