Yeah Ken..I love that goop! As a teenager one of my friends started calling it Camel snot....and that kinda stuck for me 40 years later. :lol: I don't think I have a clearance issue...I'm more thinking it's a rubber aging issue. The 5 or 6 year old seal was ready to pop out. Probably one slight star...

So Back a couple months ago I was mowing.... and in my fixed coma state of looking straight ahead I noticed a puff of smoke. As I woke up I noticed it again....uh-oh... I quickly stopped and gathered my thoughts. I wondered about the front seal. So I leaned over while still on the seat and looked do...

Yeah..cpvc is trash! PEX is the only way to go for that kind of pressure. And you can snake it all around without all the joinery.

Neat story Scott! Cool tractor too. That white cpvc "hydraulic" line has my interest?

...oh man....come on guys...we need to grow up. We're not kids anymore! We are adults! I finally got a job and working full time now and I will say it's awful! Gone are the days of making fun of you guys three times a day.... Getting scolded by our leader with two first names....and tinkering around...

Good stuff here guys! I can't contribute anything .....but man it takes me back to my grandparents House....and the "radio room"! Poppop lived for his radios. This is all that's left of his large collection. The blue tape is my clamp to hold while I super glue the 3 back on. Sad to say it ...

Nice Ken...that little briggs looks fun. My first motor go cart was made of some scrap wood and grandmas old reel mower engine. I was pretty young so i think dad did most of the work. He obviously did the gear ratios as well...cause it was about as fast as the reel mower. I was not wearing my helmet...

Welcome john! Any updates on this dilemma? ....ok...yes i had to look up the spelling for that last word. See...how it works around here, if i dont come clean first, Mike and Tom will call me out on it :x

Thanks for posting! Looks like a great setup you have there! Hydraulics.....and a windbreaker, what more could a man ask for! Probably makes pushing snow about fun?

B.M :) ......youll be glad to know I strapped my helmet on before I went out to catch snow flakes with my tongue this morning. Only had a few flurries so i was running around like a mad man. The frozen flag pole was very temping...but i remember the last time, I couldn't taste food for weeks after t...

I don't know of a dipstick on the cast rear ends. I think you're right about the plug in the rear cover plate. That would be your check...and your fill. I don't believe the "bucking" would be due to slightly low on fluid but I guess it's possible. I think I have mostly heard of the bucking...

This is the thread that keeps on giving. Lol. Wow .. Tom you even leave it plugged in? Your not kidding when you say it's ready to go. Lol. Mine looks rough inside but still has some paint. Steve I would be fearful if the bed liner gets a small chip...it would start to peel with the cleaner solution...

Cool Ken! I'm just thinking.... what were these used in? I guess the "generator base"
means a gen set for electric generation. Other uses.... Lawnmower? Washing machine? Farm uses? Looks like a clutch pedal sticking out the side?

Oh man ...that stinks! When you said it hasn't leaked since you parked it...i was thinking the check valves. But then I zoomed in on your first picture and I see the edges of the check valves. The look pretty dry to me. Others please chime in if I'm missing something. So based on that I'm thinking i...

Yeah same Mike. Only I have switched it up a bit now that battery power is soo nice. Used to use compressed air....then I got a plug in leaf blower for a lot more volume. I was happy using that old black and Decker for a couple years, then one day some nice red battery tools started making there way...

I miss those old country fairs. I used to go every year to one growing up. The wrightstown grange fair. Did you show your tractor/car Ken?

Oh good... Biggie's got a project! Or maybe he's cleaning out the shed? Anyway....I looked at couple different sources and seems they list that style for all narrow minded..I mean frames. 70-147. IH 399481-R91

Wow... what 5-6 inches of rain will do to grass! :o My summer was amazing, only having to mow about once a month... literally! My grass was pretty burned out all summer and when I would go out on the monthly mow it was just for high spots. Well...a couple weeks ago a storm named Debbie actually brou...

:? ...flog you? I'm not a flogger. If I remember right I'm the one being flogged around here :x As for the cooking that goes on under the hood? Yeah I run with the side panels on and it probably does run a bit hotter I would have to imagine just by the additional layer of steel. But..one thing I hav...

Looks like the waiting paid off! Very nice RED rig! Cant wait to see it with the mower deck. Maybe you can refresh my memory....or people in the crowd can, would that be a 44 A or 44 C deck on there? Im thinking a C but maybe without the front gauge wheels? I personally like the front wheels im not ...

Ken....help me out on one thing. What are all the springs about on the front plow mount? Lol. Good job on the trailer!

Sorry Ron....I don't even know where to begin on this. Sounds like you need to start reinstalling some of the safety switches one at a time. Most times they are a good thing and work properly. It's when people do all kinds of rework that gets people into trouble like you are in now. If a switch fail...

You there Richard got yourself a wise woman!

That looks like it has potential...but! I personally don't like gears. They are too slow or too fast. I'm not in the market to know current prices but Im thinking $400 for that running and driving... without too many issues. Any steering, clutch, carb or mower deck bearings, you will be into it for ...

I keep finding myself zooming in to "look around". It's like a cutaway display machine. I can see all the inner workings.

I'm sure whatever you posted is very cool and nice. Lol. But I can't see anything. Maybe just upload a normal picture.... sorry

Not real familiar with the 1806. If you are open to the yellow then the 1810, 11, 12 would be a great option. The 10 being manual lift, 11 being hydraulic lift, and 1812 being the holy Grail with hydraulic lift and remote ports on the front for a snow plow power angle. 1812 is super rare. 1811 is ve...

Ok..ok. I guess 8 years is a long enough test. I will fill it up next time and leave it full! Maybe there's some other things in my life I could change.....I will start slow....this week I will leave the radio plugged in at the end of the day and just use the off switch

I feel your pain. Been there on the long drives only to find a piece of crap at the destination. It takes a level headed wise man to walk away at that point. Sounds like you make a good call!!
