Lol. Oops.. maybe I shouldn't have posted my picture. I'll tell you what...I can take down the photo..or you can start over? Get the sandblaster out! :lol: That deck turned out beautiful!! Thanks for the compliment. I have another deck that is in pretty rough shape that I have been using while this...

Son of a ...!!! I pit the warning sticker in the wrong place!!! Geeeeez...... what to do?

Final pics

Thanks to those who have helped with this restoration.

Jonathan

Yeah, I have no idea. Both my decks were heavily repainted/abused so I have no idea. All four stickers came as a set so I figured they all go on the same deck. But maybe not? I defure to the experts...

Thanks
Jonathan

Like this?
Thanks
Jonathan

Do these sticker placements look right?

Any idea where this one goes?

Thanks
Jonathan

Let's try this again...

Some build pics
Seams that I can upload pics that are about 3.xx mb in size but not if they are 6.xx mb in size...

Jonathan

Well, it will upload a pic of my coffee cup but not the mower deck... I don't know how to make the pic smaller...

Jonathan

I have the day off work today and did some work on the mower deck.... but can't share pics because the file is too big? Using the same phone as the last pic I uploaded... anyone have any ideas? Threads with no pics are lame....

Jonathan

Finally got this done.... I guess I better get this back together.

Jonathan

Ouch!

So now i find out that i am going to have to powder coat my parts myself.... so much for co workers helping you out.

Jonathan

Still waiting on powder coat........
.

........

Errrrrr.....
By the time they get done ill be putting my snow plow back on...

Jonathan

Is the 3/8 rod to add rigidity? Ill look into the discharge side wheel. I think ill do washers for the lift brackets as the metal is still pretty thick. Thanks for the tips.

What are the two holes for at the end of the discharge chute?

Thanks
Jonathan

I spent a couple hours with a welder re-profiling the front skids and welding up the oblong roller mount holes.
Now its all off to sandblast and powder coat.

Thanks dag. Is there a recommended vender for bearings, seals, front roller, and wheels? My wheels are shot, it would be cool to get some that color matched the deck like the old ones.

Thanks
Jonathan

Sticker set ordered from maple hunter. Thanks, JMotuzick.

The one on the left is a little bent All stripped down

I think this deck has mowed a lot of grass.... Front roller axle bracket 20190814_192624.jpg Is this part supposed to be blue? 20190814_204443.jpg Are the side spindle assemblies serviceable? As in, can you take them apart and replace the bearings and seals? Mine spin freely. Should i just grease th...

The skids seem to be a bit wore down or are they supposed to be flat on the bottom? 20190814_185736.jpg Removed the blades. Chute side had these washers in thos order 20190814_192330.jpg 20190814_192344.jpg The other two only had the big metal washer. What are the correct whashers and in what sequen...

Bottom side. Am i right to assume the front end of the discharge area is supposed to be square? Mine looks like it was run into something at some point. What are these holes for? Cover off

I am planning to rebuild one of my mower decks. I think this is a 44a 20190814_185633.jpg 20190814_185706.jpg I have a lot of questions. Like is the front roller still available? 20190814_185711.jpg What did these stickers say? Are they still available? 20190814_185951.jpg 20190814_185957.jpg

Wow... that looks ugly... I think cutting the shaft was way easier. ..

Yes, powder is a nice quick way to add color to something. We use tiger drylac brand powder. I'm trying to get a sample of the yellow that matches best. We have white... Rear wheels and tires.
Thanks
Jonathan

The bucket had the teeth already welded on and they extend almost all the way back and are welded most of the way, so I thought if they don't get in my way too much then they will stay. It will be a lot of work to remove them. I added extra material between the teeth.

For those of you in the know... what if any are known leak areas on the rear end/hydro? I figure since it is covered in filth that something must be leaking. May as well address it while it's apart before I paint it. By the way, I plan to paint the rear end and engine I stead of powder coating them....

I had this bucket lying around my parents house since before I was born. I have no clue what it was made for but I decided it would work for my loader so.... I cut it down and reshaped it so it is close to the dimensions in my plans. I still have a few things to do to it. 20150410_152339.jpg 2015041...

I picked up this 169 for free some 3 or four years ago. It was all in one piece but didn't run and had flat tires and looked kinda rough. I took it home changed out the starter generator with another one that came with it, fixed some grounds, put a free battery in and bushed the throttle shaft in th...

Hmm so you don't have to have the pic on some other site like photo bucket? Cool. Maybe I will start taking pics...

Peel your eyes for a new thread.

Thanks
Jonathan

It's a time thing for me more than anything... two jobs, 4 young kids, a slough of animals, 3 older vehicles to up keep, two campers, yard work... and my wife is in school. No offense to the the pictures are worth a thousand words crowd, or the this thread is useless with out pics crowd, (this inclu...

I ended up cutting the shaft.

I am picture illiterate and have very limited time so you will have to make do with words. I will discribe what I have done for a forward/Reverse pedal when I get done powder coating the frame and resembling the chassis.

Thanks for the help
Jonathan
