Look Tom...Ken made a nice level pad for your pop-up. Your right next to the woods out of kens way, that way you can stay as long as you like.

Oh man Dave.... that sucks! Were you able to finish hooking it up? How are you feeling now? I hate messing with mower decks. Especially the 60 inch. I'd almost rather pull the motor out..... honestly. Hopefully your all better now!

Oh man Tom, Get one of those vacuum boots like I got.....it will work wonders on those pinecones! You don't need the whole system! I just have the boot and a short length of hose. $20 bucks at a yard sale . I will drive around with the loose open end under my arm aiming it out to my side. I haven't ...

There's a new toy in town this year. This should be a game changer for spring cleanup. Sticks, branches, piles of dirt, whatever is in my way! Probably do an oil change this weekend too. I'm getting close. My neighbors are probably talking about me at their dinner tables. "When is dag gonna mow his ...

Never cease to amaze me how long winter hangs on up there. Sorry to hear about your heart issues Ken. Sounds to me your wife has the hard job of keeping you alive. Lol. That earthquake was fun yesterday. My work is the farthest most eastern point of pa. I was up on top of a 100 foot long glue coatin...

Oh please....I mailed a check! Little late Mike! It's all taken care of now thanks to me.
Somehow I think the dollar totals are off..... there's no way your more generous than me

"I'll take all things fuel related for $400 Alex"
"Question..when an engine dies, what small spray can will help check for a fuel related problems?"
It rhymes with your name.
The pulling of the choke has got me wondering
Oh yeah..... welcome!

Thanks again to the "green" guys who keep the site running! Thanks to all who have donated to help pay the bills! While winter has been easy for most of us... therefore not too many snow action shots. I think there's a better chance we will all be mowing grass real soon, so let's all get a few pictu...

Welcome Chris! A 2284...that's a whole lot of tractor right there! What do you have for attachments? Oh yeah..i almost forgot...Your initiation into our club is for you to post a picture or two of your tractor or in most of our cases, tractors.

Big Mike.....meet me outside by the monkey bars at recess! I have an idea how to pick on that nerdy kid with the two first names.

I saw this thread pop up and I was like " Tom is still at it.... doing modifications to the parts washer ". Yeah that was fun...and I'm still draining the parts washer. It's amazing how the dirt settles out while stored in the jugs.

Boy.. that's weird! So I get to work this morning and the company golf cart was acting up. Or should I say not acting up. So in my mind I run through what I have done in the past couple years to this cart. 4 new batteries about 2 years ago. New charger last year. Went completely dead this summer and...

Looks amazing! Thanks for posting on our fossil fuel website!

Happy New year guys! Thrower looks like it's working good Ken! Those pictures look like the powdery kind of snow. We had about 2" of wet sludge. Did you get any Tom? It's still early but calling for 3-5 here on Tuesday. I guess I will put some driveway markers in before the ground freezes soild. Fro...

Thanks for posting this! Its neat to see all the old IH stuff!

Everyone simmer down now. I'm back from vacation...so I'm now able to defend myself...and others if needed.
Let the games begin! Lol

I've never had a plasma cutter so not even sure what you guys are talking about but it sounds way too involved. But...as ken has been going though this thread what i have had in the back of my mind for....probably decades now. Get rid of the baffles an cut off the back lip of the deck the whole way ...

Yes the old stuff has it's "charm"! Most of us probably have these old tractors for one reason....we don't mind the occasional project. Lol. Don't climb under and get all oiled up for us. Just kick that 147 to the curb and let me know when....I will be right there. Lol. Does it have electric lift?

Nice job on the rebuild Ken. You peaked my interest when you said you are going to cut your mower blades to true them up. LOL. any picures of that? I never heard of that one before. I need new 60 inch blades pretty bad LOL.   No i have never POR15 a deck but it sounds very good at first....but im a ...

Well that stinks! You try to do a good thing and you go backwards. Story of big Mikes life. If he chimes in on this thread...whater he says or recommends , do the opposite, then you will be moving forward!   :oops:  The only way to find out is to clean it off real good run it for a little bit then s...

Big Mike....that was so rude!

Ken now you have me thinking......

That washer centering trick is good... because I'm badly in need of a set of center punches. Good update!

Wow...those links are great. Those corded attachments are amazing. The best part of the video was the woman driving the tractor... while trimming the hedges. Simply brilliant! Lol. Thanks for the update

That's cool! Keep us updated on your progress. I'm not familiar with these tractors at all so it's very interesting to see this. More pictures when you get the chance. I wonder where these were originally sold? Maybe appliance stores next to the washers and dryers and refrigerators. Lol. "Could I al...

Good to hear your getting things figured out. That carb wrench is great. Might get a dusting tonight north of Philadelphia..... might.

Oh man! That stinks! Just to get this out of my head I will ask when was the fuel system drained and nice fresh gasoline installed. I think you keep them outside. Could the warmer winter temps be causing excessive condensation.... its frozen in the tank when you first start it....then it thaws out o...

Your dedication to to that old girl is like a marriage......"for better or for worse, till death do you part". I would have be divorced long ago
Great job!!

Wow! I think I would have a panic attack at those temps! I start get nervous in the single digits....I close window blinds .. double check doors are pushed tight. Around zero I start worrying...and opening vanity cabinets, not turning heat back.... pacing around. At -20 ish, I would need a Valium......

Thanks guys. I should probably just take the carb off and give it a good cleaning.... and then adjust. Tom you might be on to something about the load. I'm recalling him saying not enough power...so he moved choke to first notch. That's probably when the black soot was occuring Actually similar to w...

Im just trying to think.... does that have the thick cardboard gasket to the block? Probably a dab of blue locker on those studs? On another topic....do you ever have to readjust your carb settings from winter to summer? I don't remember doing that on the 127, but my dad's 6 horse snowblower....we t...
