Got a point there Don. MY Z turn spinning a 48 and two hydros never gets on the gov unless I shove it into tall weeds or use it for brush hogging. Yah it's green & yellow and I abuse it like I stole it. Well ... actually I did it ... stroke is shorter on new engines. Smoother power perhaps Dan? Cheaper to make fer sure.

Excuse my ignorance Don but school me on what that would be used for? Never heard of one. -

You guys are nuts I thought they were waaayyy overpriced. Yeah I was floored ... I have the the same 753 with the same HY and I paid 400. Not rare at all EB ... sometimes a little hard to find but good things come to those who wait. Paid 350 for TWO 953's. Sure not restoed but running and driving. A mid mount blade went for for 700?? I got one on a 857 plus three other tractors with blowers & tillers & decks for 800. I think @Achto paid 70 for one. Did anyone notice the same bidder got most of the horse pieces and a few others? Both horses going to for 1017.50?? Not quite a coincidence. Thing that really floored me was the Massy 10 going for 2800! We have a expert Massey collector in our bunch that said less that half that for a immaculate restored one. Now lets add on the 10% buyers fee and another 5 if plastic used. I kinda had my eye on the reel mower & disc and really wanted @Streetrodchev to get the mower. He was throwing a few numbers on it @Andy N. Really hoping get him turned from the dark side ... Hoping @oliver2-44 was to take the 953 home for a fair price. He lives in no man's land. I have an idea who the 5109 guy with the deep pockets was. Auction smoktion ... you guys can have them. Thanks for posting PWL I didn't have the stones. -

Earlier this Summer we renovated our bathroom. Had to make new jambs and casings for the new pocket doors to match rest of house, and of course all with hand tools. Vanity also matching the beaded details throughout house all made with my Grandfather’s 98 year old plane. Woodwork is to be painted so I used clear pine which is always a pleasure to work with. I don’t use door stops or nailed on casings but rather make split jambs and casings in one assembled piece with no fasteners visible. All edges jointed straight and square by hand. All faces dressed with hand plane Beads made with Grandpa’s plane . One full bead requires planing board from face and from edge . “Secret” to my signature corner detail on jambs is a hidden precisely cut rabbet on back of one of beaded boards. This is done with a moving filister plane. Lock side of jamb for pocket door is recessed for privacy. I almost never use nailed on stops. Recess is plowed using a shoulder plane riding against a guide. My signature detail on jambs Everything is dry fitted prior to gluing and assembling in one piece. Once finished there are no visible fasteners to deal with yet one side is completely removable to allow for to be removed if needed. It can then be reinstalled without any damage to it. All pieces hand cut for dry fitting prior to assembly. After cutting the miters with miter box they are trimmed perfectly with the “guillotine”. Vanity also with beaded panels.

I am pretty much LED everything across the board. Theyre cheap and reliable, plus a huge upgrade typically. House, cars and trucks, tractors, etc...

Not I, I watched the 953 but it really jumped $$ the last afternoon -
Bought a camper trailer today - 2022 Coleman Light 1855RB. Looking forward to taking it on the road, well, mostly taking it and getting "somewhere". Haven't decided where my first camping trip will be. Probably further south for warmer weather.

Last night the Austin, TX 10pm news had pictures from viewers looking north across lake Buchanan that were amazing for this far South. We would be about at the bottom of the green zone just below the TX on the viewing area map JoeM posted.

NICE! Yer gonna love it ... I have three of them not counting the one @rjg854 give me. . I don't know how he makes them then damn near gives them away! The funny thing is is they sound different on every motor. Can two be 241s side by side with them and they will sound different. Word of warning tho they like to condensate till warm so just lean to the left when starting and let run for abit ... dries right out. @CRF857 he used to have them on fleabay too but he prefers you contact him direct so fleabay doesn't get a cut. @jimkemp

I’m not sure what the gas tank for my lawn ranger is supposed to look like. Does anybody have a picture of theirs I can use to see what I need. Thank you

Happy Birthday @AlexR!!! -
Thanks lynnmor. Since I’ll be using a hammer and punch to tighten I’m guessing there should be no play between the collar and the bearing.

When I restored the tall chute in my profile pic in 2019 one thing I forgot was the chute guides and washers on the worm gear - 2 winters my worm gear would lose contact with the chute teeth - after replacing the guides and the washers worn and rusted away on the worm gear it was a 100% success - 13 and 21 - after looking at this parts list realized my spring washer left the chat . https://www.toro.com/en/parts/partdetails?id=5616&iid=304428&pid=313959

One thing that I believe the new engines lack is torque. I believe this is because the stroke is shorter on new engines. Longer stroke = more torque.

I was thinking the same thing as I was draining the 8 n's gas tank for the winter.

Yeah, they probably do, but doing anything involving the township is a pain because I'm pretty sure it's just one guy with a roll of duct tape and a pack of chewing gum.

Wife got some better outside pictures for me today. This time of year is rough for me doing anything outside, because I'm leaving for work a little before sunrise, and I get home about 10 minutes before dark, if that. She gets to work from home at least three days a week.

Charles Darwin was just about right, survival of the fittest, demise of the dumbest. This guy is definitely paddling round in the shallow end of the gene pool.
