I think the 982 fire tractor was red power 2007 at Bloomsburg. Frame is from a 2082 I bought with no engine or tires. Funny part is I bought that 2082 around 2012? I just bought the tires/rims in February and deck from the same guy last week! I’ve been watching Dave’s projects for years now, this on...

I have a 2082 I’m planing on selling soon, I’m thinking 1500 as a starting price, it has a 54” deck. If I included a 551 blower I’d want a bit more, your not far off. I’m guessing it has a 3pt? Mine does not.

Rich Manuals are a free download from here on the site! Up top to the drop down and then downloads, in the MTD section you’ll find owners manal and a service manual s/n 737000 and up. I would change the oil and oil filter, gas filter wouldn’t hurt, air filter as needed, at least blow it out with com...

Sounds like someone was having starting issues and added a ground. It’s not a bad idea, I never liked how the ground went to the frame and not to the engine block. If it’s a worker, I would go to the engine mounting bolt and run it like that.

I helped a friend one time with a frozen AC clutch on his pick up truck, we thought starter and battery sure enough the AC was frozen. It would nearly crank over

Dave Great idea! I never thought of using it as a welding table! Why not? It would be a bit of work to take the door on/off but it could come off for welding work back on when I’m doing a bunch of painting! I’ve got some sheet metal from work we toss 42”x42” peices often enough, I can line the whole...

After lawn boy IH signed with toro to make push mowers and IH taged 2 stroke snow throwers. From the small iPhone picture it looks like a toro painted white to me!
As for a cover or parts, I can’t help!

Your picture is the IH. NArrow frame spring assist it will work on the 147.

The first picture is of the brinly assist it will help lift all attachments but mounts directly to the sleeve hitch.

Do you have a rear sleeve hitch? If so then yes it will work. If you do not have the sleeve hitch option then, no it will not work. Due to the way the rock shaft works, it will assist all attachments front mid rear.

Door! More calk, and a test run of a few parts!

Fan is installed and working, paint on the inside for the sake of sealing the wood and to give more light to reflect off of. After lunch I’ll build a door. The parts washer might actually live inside the booth! I’ll try that out later today too!

Pictures are nice!
I have a few spring assists if your looking for OEM

IH with the 95 rider and GE with the electric garden tractor where both ahead of there time.

The early narrow frames the wiring went over the clutch cover, I believe that was only for the 70/100’s. All replacement harness I’ve seen have enough wire to run them through the frame next to the steering column, to the right of the clutch, under the flywheel starter, and then up the right side of...

The whole point of the door is to keep the dust out of the paint. I was thinking of buying a piece of the clear plastic used for an added layer of Insulation over your windows for winter. It’s faril insulation over your windows for the winter it’s fairly cheep and clear. I’ll make a plywood frame fr...

The fan came today! I spent a couple hours as I got home a bit early today. I set the fan on top just to see. The big project was the filter holder. I cut the side so I couldn’t slip in a 30x14 filet and made a way to hold it in place. I used scrap angle from some shelf’s. I’ve had them for 5 years,...

All 147’s had electric lift. If converted, it could have been converted to either Crome or painted manual lift.

Dag the plan is to hang uni-strut (kindorf) on the inside.
I do like hanging spinning idea, the plan was to get one for the bottom.
Our A/c unit in the house uses 14x30 I’m going use the same size In case it clogs up, I always keep a few around.

So I stopped at Home Depot on the way home $50 bought me 2 2’ LED lights and 10’ duct for the fan, my only expense so far. I looked at plexiglass for the door, super thin and 75$ for a piece that is a few inches to small. I could make it work. I would need to build a frame of some sort to stiffen th...

So I’m in the middle of doing a working “refresh” of a 86 I have. Also a friend it here working on a “restoration” of a 72. Lots of painting and sand blasting. Between the overspray and the fumes I decided to look into a small “booth”. After looking around on line it seams that the cheep units are j...

Out side to outside I have 32 3/8”

Year after year we see wash out ice and spin outs on your driveway. I’ve never been to your place, but it’s seams like a boat load of cash and a couple days with a excavator and some pipe/new gravel are all in order! ?!?

Scott I have all the parts you need, I’m guessing the first one is the bracket on the Plow that the lift rod hooks to? Send me a email I’ll do good on the spring and bracket. As for the lift rod, I think it’s about 31” I make new ones from a good used factory rod as a sample. I’ll see if I can get y...

Dag I think you mean qa42 vs qa42a. The “a” is newer and most people say it refers to the fact that it’s adjustable for the wide frame. I’m not a fan of the single stage blowers, 2 stage or nothing for me! I have 2 147’s one I converted to manual for the original owner. Now it just sits on the shelf...

Great pictures and memories!

Ken
I think I’d rather have the 6-12 it looks like your getting then the 1/2” of ice they are calling for here! I’d like to stay home tomorrow, but I’m guessing I’ll leave on time and show up late! I’ll get up early and sand the driveway so I’m not in the woods across the street as I try to leave...

Well the fuel pump didn’t change much. I messed with carb and gov. Settings and finally tossed the air filter completely. I got 30-50 feet as advertised! These things can be picky and it would take some getting used to the amount you can take in one bite. But they do work quite well! I also see why ...

Thanks Steve I’ll swap pumps and go from there. I found 2 oem idlers a bit cheeper then direct at a dealer with an old price list. The 551 isn’t really the upgrade, the 2082 is! If the 1863 sells as is I’ll need to order a push to lift bracket as that’s the old one I have and the 2082 has the newer ...

Steve
It seams the P.O. left it at the deal for service work and they installed a electric fuel pump when the vacuum pump went bad. Think I should swap it out for a new China vacuum pump? I listed it just for kicks, I’ve got a 2082 out back 6” pto and a 551 here too... if it sells I’ll up grade!

IH logo looks correct In the last picture.
I don’t think I’ve seen the IH and the no step decal on the same deck?
Safety decal goes on the discharge side facing outward.
