Have we been hacked?

I got notifications of private messages from Dag and Tom both saying “hi”
Seems odd, even for Dag. :ugeek:

Very nice. With all those white "accent" pieces I can't tell if the machine is new or old? Again good job on confusing me. :roll:

Drove outside, moved a pile, drove it back and nothing is broken(that I can see)!
You can unclench Dag! LOL!!
Sounds like success.

You need “small engine mechanic” from YouTube.

Re: 129 =Time for a new Engine

As much as it pains me……Dag makes a good point.
Wide frame were built for the engine to set down in between the frame rails where as the 82 series and newer had lowered rails so the engine went over the top.
Trying to fit an opposed twin in a wide frame, while possible, is going to be a tough fit.

Re: Lumber shortage

I have been at a Menards and a Lowe’s and both had a large number of units of treated lumber.
This time last year I needed to replace a small section deck hand rail and had to use some salvage material as 5/4 decking was all but nonexistent.

Re: Plow days?

In my case my interests have changed. I still have a 4 Cubs but the gathering, collecting, working on and selling has slowed significantly. I use the 2072 a handful of times a year and mow/pick up leaves with the 125. The 100 has set for at least 5 years and the 126 longer. I simply have less Cub ne...

Charlie, I needed a seat for another project and had a decent pan and some covers I bought at a swap meet many years ago. I had never put one of those covers on so I called a friend that does upholstery and she said to use a heat gun. I was a little nervous but I did and it worked great! You just ne...

Re: My quietline

Ok you too! :lol:
I have a cage for it. It's a bear enough to work on topless let alone having the cage on it. It is a factory add on cage and not very ergonomic. I will likely build a more user friendly cage after I get it usable.
NOW, let's get back to the Quietline that's not getting restored! :D
