Home made; spring from a trailer truck trailer brake.

I borrowed one from Auto Zone.

If you'd consider a 125, I've got one on ME and NH Craigslist.

Hone and re-ring, see if I get away with it.

I got the head off the K301 that was blowing smoke and had that little chunk of metal in the oil. Here's how the cylinder wall looks. I can see something, I can't feel it with my fingernail but maybe a little bit with a pick. Bad? (The orange you see is RTV sealant that the DPO used on both sides of...

CC 125 has been blowing blue smoke out the breather vent. Checked it; it wasn't upside down. Drained the oil, it was black and this piece of metal was on the magnetic drain plug. Can anyone identify it?

I had the same experience -- old inlet valve was 3/8" and I had a small socket turned down so it'd fit in; new kit's valve was 10mm and nothing would fit to screw it in. Used the gaskets, stopped the leak.

Was going to take the snow tires off the truck Saturday, now guess I'll wait for July 4th.

It's in the mail.

Mike, send me your address and I'll mail you a decent used pulley.

Over the years I've tried various combinations. One time I thought ag tires would be sufficient -- weren't. Put chains on them -- still not good. Ended up with turf tires with 2-link chains, and weight: 100 pounds of wheel weights on each rear tire and 100 on the rear bracket. Been using these for s...

The 22nd Antique Tractor & Engine Show at the Raitt Homestead Farm Museum in Eliot, Maine is July 28th - 30th. Featuring Minneapolis Moline Tractors & Jacobson Engines. We will be celebrating the last 22 years and will have a slideshow playing again so everyone that missed it 2 years ago can see it;...

Blades aren't that rare -- I've got three of them, could sell you one if you were a bit closer. And a snowblower, too.

ATV tires didn't work well at all, went back to turfs with 2 link chains, they're super.

On a recently acquired 125. I greased the shaft underneath and changed the spring, still won't come back up by itself. I split the tractor and now the pedal comes up OK, so it's the internal brake that's maybe not releasing? I haven't had this problem on other 125's -- is it common? And I've never h...

Yup.

I didn't want to but I couldn't help it. Tractor and deck were torn down and completely repainted (Why red? Seller said that when he was doing it CC yellow wasn't available in the Valspar Restoration series paint, so he got the red). Rebuilt engine, rebuilt deck, many new parts -- he gave me the fol...

My Father's Day card --

Rotating tubs/bins of nails!

Yep -- snow off a metal roof. It finally warmed up enough to clear my barn roof. Sounded like an earthquake.

ATV tires and trailer fenders

Great minds think alike! But I had to use a come along.

A few more pics:

After a week of cold rain, Saturday dawned clear, bright, and a little warmer, perfect for Johnnie D's Annual Tractor Day in Salem, NH. Tractors of all colors, shapes and sizes showed up and we enjoyed good talk, good food, and an altogether fine time as Fall winds down.

That's it exactly -- looks like the same machine.

Not mine, I just saw it on craigslist.

[/b]Temperature shock! Got back last night from this:

They told us to expect 5 to 8 inches and all we got was a dusting too small to measure. But the arctic vortex is back.

Hey, Oleg, welcome to the clan --

I've got 124s and 125's here, they're the same as 104s and 105s. I've got a steering tower you can have if you want to come get it. I'm in York, ME, not too far from Merrimack.
