went shopping for a new tool box

[vince_o]

Tim aka the preacher called last night and asked if Id ride with him to look at a new to him tool box for his shop. I said sure, never know there may be a cub in the driveway for sale.

It has a date with a porta band in the next 2 weeks, unless my friend Paul wants it. When you run the eng and shut it off it shakes so bad it hits the side pannels! #1 reason I hate QLs!

Vince is that your version of the cradle upgrade i see?

Vince , your not gonna cut up a hydrolift QL , are ya ?? My loader tractors a 1450 and I know all about the shakes .....
Thats why i went with a cradle upgrade and solid mounts .
I see a lot of good parts on that machine .....muffler air duct , headlights , side panels , even those tailight bases ( if not broken ) are worth a few bucks .
You decide to part it I might be interested in some of the parts , but I would rather see ya fix it up .

Ok guys its gone, like in pieces. Lurker Paul got all the skins for his 1650. Other stuff went to some guys here local that needed some stuff.

Any way I get the tin off and there sits a 10 bolt head, a 16hp. Ran great no smoke starts right up and charges, ect.

Now can I stick this in one of my 82's with a solid mount some how. If I MUST keep a QL style it may as well be a 16hp.
