I agree with Jim, you need to make sure this A/C flap isn't mouse related. 3 years ago I traded an 05 Malibu in because the 7th problem relating to shorted wiring showed up two weeks after my extended warranty period was up...the estimate was $3100.00 and they actually said they still weren't sure i...

That Mini-Beep is even neater than the big one. Kinda reminds me of a "Watchamacallit" ( well it articulates too ) Love that front mounted deck...anybody know of something like that deck for Cubs

SWEET !!

After the 3 day rain I loaded up the 149 w/replicated International #40 and went to my son's and our rental property. Paint has cured well over a month so it's time to put it to work. Tractor and implement simply blew my mind how they worked together and NEVER spun out with a box load of gravel. I'...

What can be said other than WOW
Nice transformation
Jim

The cart looks nice

The engines are looking good too

The "green thing" in that size and larger are pretty good units its the little belt drives in green that I don't have much use for...

Looks like you've had a productive summer
Jim

I agree, Loaders is cool

BigMike said "How does ANYONE live without a loader(a FUNCTIONING loader AW )?"

It's easy, ya stock up on IB-profen, menthol back rub, and marry a masseuse

I'm a new member and I'm sure glad you all have worked and continue to work hard to make it go...
Thanks,
Jim

I'm sorry for your loss and frustration. I understand your anger. I too have found bad apples at auctions, work, neighborhoods, in family, and even at church. I have learned to let it go. Which is much easier said than done. Holding on to the anger will eat us up (high blood pressure etc.) and doesn...

Now that's some straight talking :!: steppin out on faith. Thanks big Jim, I'm leaving at 3 am to go be with my best bud who is having a hip replaced Wed 24th in New Albany. He's about 6' 4'' ~ 260 his wife is about 5' 2'' and 115lbs. He is a former U.S. Marine and doesn't like having to ask for hel...

Jude, Fantastic Job I've really enjoyed following your work. The unit looks like a show winner to me.

Keith, I don't know Tom Scott, but his reasoning from 1 - 3 is right on, take it to the bank, rock-solid... 4,5,and 6 are pretty darn good too
Jim

I too have a project like this, so I am very interested in the responses. I was told by an "old-timer"to just fill the cylinders up with ATF and wait. I have a Packard V-8 that is soaking currently. I once broke a Honda 2 cylinder (aluminum pistons) free by putting "Liquid Wrench" in liquid form in ...

Nice Thanks for sharing. I've always liked the "B" model...somehow it is what I've always thought trucks should look like. I'd forgotten about the Jr's. haven't seen one of those in years.
Jim

"Small World" is truly amazing... I'm driving thru Cambridge when the wife says, "hey, I got a coupon for a free drink @ Sheetz. We pull in. I go to the "magic room" shes getting a soda. I see a guy in there and you know we all do this..."he looks familiar" and we go on. I'm walking out the door wit...

Yeah, too lean and it melted part of the piston. Is that near the exhaust valve by chance? Never re-use an aluminum connecting rod; they have a finite life span. For the price of a new one it's not worth taking a gamble on the old one lasting. Went back and looked at the photo from when I had just ...

Glad to hear it wasn't worse. Did you get up to National Pike? I'm putting photos from Sat in my album. One of my sons and I went. Met some nice people and had a great time. Still would like to find a plow day this fall that I can afford to drive to. (o' ya' that deserves another)
Jim

Got some more time in the barn tonight. Continued on the "knocker" I agree the crank looks like it is saveable. The cylinder wall looks like a quick hone and it will be o.k. The piston though, not so lucky. Photo attached. :?: I need to see more photos of cams or shop manual to determine about that ...

Hi Scott,
Yes, I did say Hay! to y'all. It was great to put some faces to names. I'm the guy from south of Cambridge (Rt 77 & RT 70 ) Ohio with a number of Ford granny gear 4spds. I have a bunch more photos too, but I have to get the camera back from the kids.
Jim

We went to the National Pike show today, my first time, what a blast !! Took lots of photos, I'll try to put them in my album area. Saw things I've never seen before and saw some that I haven't seen since I was just a pup. Met some nice folks, had a really good time.

Needed some barn time after mandatory tolerance training today at work... 4 more days of it, UGH! :roll: (ya got to be kidding) :roll: Anyway the "knocker" had to come out and I was curious so I took a peek. The rod bolts were working loose which apparently allowed some scoring and galling. Had to e...

Yep ! that looks like a keeper. Sweeter when you get the fenders on. The other one looks like it could still be saved. I've not seen even one of these pull starts in person, yet.

Sure was nice to meet you and your family. I too wish we could have spent more time. I would have loved pulling up some cardboard and just laying down beside the "whatchamacallit" and just absorbing the way it is put together. That has to be one of the neatest units I've ever seen. I'm guessing that...

:?: Yep 80 some nice folks looked at this w/o the photos...Oppps...Anyway here is my second attempt... I had to buy the whole box to get the cub stuff I wanted. I'm not sure what this does or fits but ALL 10 bolts have JD clearly stamped on them. It looks like somebody started to open it up, appears...

:shock: Yikes !! No-body should be allowed to paint that poor thing like that :o In defense of the QL series, I have a Quiet line 1000 that has lived through my buying it used and the raising of 4 teenage boys (24 year span) and finally last year the clutch was "wadded up" to the point of forward an...
