Before you order one check with your local stores to see if they rent one or if any employees or accounts have one to loan/rent.(or if they sell one at a reasonable price) The reason being you need an adapter to fit your tractors radiator. Buying one online and finding it does not come with that size adapter would be a bummer to say the least. If they think they can help you bring your cap with you to check it against the adapters they have.
You're right, that looks like a basic Stant $50.00 kit!
The local Shucks store used to rent tools. Now that they have been bought out by O'Reileys who knows?
Harbor Freights proud of thiers:http://www.harborfreight.com/c…..ure+tester
You can get a cooling system pressure tester pretty cheap. I think I paid around $50.00 for mine years ago from Mac tools, if Harbor freight has one I would think 20-30.00? If any of your local parts houses rent tools that would be the way to go. It's just a pump with a gauge and assorted caps that connect to it.
Oakland Ca. Last I checked Oakland Or. was a nice little town. I had a lot of good times growing up in Oakland Ca. Not any better or worse than any big city I figure, certainly not the hellhole it seems to have a reputation for.
Were you able to see which cylinder had the leak when you removed the head? What size tractor/which engine?
Growing up in Oakland I saw this up close years before it became a national problem. Lost a lot of friends to overdose, suicide, and murdered in drug deals gone bad. It's here in our neck of the woods now, just like it's infesting communities everywhere.
I hear ya Larry. I've been putting off remodeling the sun porch, thats a must do. The garden is 45×80 with a 8' fence to keep the deer out. I have a little time to start things, tomatoes don't go in the ground here 'till the 2nd week of June. I do need to get the brussel sprouts and onions started in the greenhouse pretty soon though. Hard to think about that right now, it was 1 degree this morning. Better than LaPine, 40 miles south, higher up and close to the Cascades, -21 with wind chill of -50
Right now it's simply a money issue, I simply don't have the money to build one!
The tractor shed (26×16) was built with free mobile home trusses, free used shed tin for the roof, mostly free used 2x4s, cheap reject wood siding, and 6x16x4″ cinder blocks donated for my greenhouse that never got used for that project. No doors on the front but the total for the project around $200.00
