I had that problem occur with my 100 many years back. Removing the shifter cover revealed that the bolt for the first reverse shifter fork had backed itself out. By replacing the lock washer and installing the bolt back in the issue was solved. Do not attempt to drive the machine forward under power...

Lew,
what are your plans for that one?

Well not a whole lot yet but it's coming down pretty good out there, about 3 to 4 so far so I'm using the blade. It's powder. Can't see putting the seat back on the 126 till I really need that one At least the ground is good and frozen. DSCN1405.JPG The big problem is my clutch foot is really bother...

It looks as though Winter coverage has finally arrived here. 6 to 12 is about what I'm expecting

I agree with Mike. Others have reported lifting travel issues in the past because the wrong lift rod was being used, if I'm not mistaken there were at least 3 lengths made. I wanted to counter that issue and was looking for more than a chain. A length of black pipe with bungs welded into both ends a...

Jeff, that is such good news
wishing you both all the best

Here's what they look like.
McMaster-Carr #91785A581 5/16- 18NC x 3/4 lg. 18-8 stainless steel.
I really like them, they make removal a breeze years later on

We are learning the hard way that while pretty photo shoots of your dog or cat hanging out underneath the Christmas tree is cute it can turn into dangerous or fatal results. While Tommy here got his jollies every year playing with the stuff hanging from the tree we had no idea he had been chewing on...

Well, since everyone seems so eager

That's a nice find Lewis ;) When I came home with my 100 it too had a stuck exhaust valve. Spraying it with Liquid Wrench from inside of the valve margin and working it up and down at first with the rubber mallet and then by rotating the crank shaft got it moving again nicely in a couple of minutes....

This year I am going to run 10.5s on the thrower fitted machine.
As it has not yet really snowed I don't know how that's going to work out for me But I'll let ya know

Just an opinion on my part but I feel that the game days of the seller holding out for top dollar over a common model ended in 2008. More and more folks are leaning toward the throw away zero turns and don't care about them- if it' means a lot to him then he can keep it as far as I'm concerned. And ...

Yup, that was it alright :D I turned the key and she touched right off. I recorded the idle and power screw settings before taking them out, 2 1/8 turns power and 2 5/8 turns idle- I ain't even bothering touuchin em. DSCN1370.JPG One other thing that turned up- that pesky muffler backfire after shut...

Vince, If you look at the photo of the before pic with the bowl off you can make out that the groove where the square rubber ring sets the groove is packed with yellow powder residue. It was not leaking at all. Also, I checked the float close off setting before taking it apart- it was way too high a...

I'm pretty sure that a washed, satin black looking center electrode is a sign of water contimation in gasoline
Anyhow, we shall see soon enough-

Wow. This thing got pretty darn crunchy since the last time I rebuilt it only eight years ago Or was it nine? :lol: DSCN1360.JPG Anyhow, now that I have my sense of smell more or less back it's pretty clear the gas had gone bad too. I took the head off for decarbon, new head gasket, and then adjuste...

I have a nasty little sinus cold right now but somehow I don't think the gasoline smells right even though it was recently topped off.
I removed the spark plug- this is an Autolite 216 with one hour run time on it What to you guys think about it?

So what would cause my 126 to belch black smoke, backfire inside the muffler and generally be a royal pain in the neck to cold startup? Once it's finally going after giving its self an enema the thing runs great :? The last time I checked about a month ago the timing was spot on with a timing light ...

My little 102 has more or less evolved into the go to beater tractor, he plays in the snow or mud while the others watch

Todd is correct, the cast iron end plate ran a 17mm (.669) bearing. The aluminum end plate ran a .500 bushing.
If you are searching for a new old stock here is what to look for- These can be very hard to find however it's possible that you could- good luck.

Well, there are some sizes that Miller does not carry. I have been looking for replacement 8.5 x 15's in an ag pattern for a long time now. I have seen these on other machines but can't recall what kind it was, and those were in worse shape than the ones I have now (and these are pretty bad too- the...

One other thing I neglected to mention, I swear we had nothing to do with this :shock: DSCN1223.JPG I guess a pallet ton of pellets, two passengers, and a tool compartment full of stuff (roughly about 2600 ponds in a half ton) were too much for it :? It's OK to have a little excitement now and then ...

Just wondering if any of you have ever seen a clutch disc failure like this before, I myself have not. My Son was heading up the long hill at the base of Mt. Ascutney on I-91 South and made an overdrive to fourth downshift to pull the grade. The truck had a very heavy load on at the time. Edit that,...

My Friends- We had a very tragic hunting accident occur around these parts over the weekend. Three men entered the woods deer hunting and only one man ( a coworker of mine) left. In spite of the internet chatter going on about foolishness and drink, or whatever :x I do know that these guys were prof...

Maybe it's one of those super rare Mason jar spin on types

Joey, No. For your application do not attach any wire to any terminal on the regulator marked L, (LOAD). That application is for the O, 70-100 series only. Terminal locations vary greatly from unit to unit!!! Read and follow the instruction card chart supplied in the box. Wire mounting locations- Ye...

The NAPA VR 896 is a direct replacement part. I have had very good luck with one for over 25 years. It is suitable for both the 3 and 4 terminal applications. Last I knew, the buyer needed to state if he wanted an import or the USA made version as both carry the same part number. 497977.jpg However,...

Not taken that way at all Craig- They can be had in stainless steel as well however given the marginal combustion chamber clearances in these engines that's probably not a good idea should one ever work itself loose or snap off which is probably why they were made of brass to begin with. This thrott...

My bad It had nothing to do with being rude to anyone. That image has been sitting in my downloads file for over two years.
I uploaded the image and hit preview just to see how it looked before adding a caption to Joe.
Only it was the submit button I hit
Then I went to bed
