Today we went for a drive a couple hours north to look at 5 pieces of land. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ujErC4DzcvZ4o78u6?g_st=am Saw lots of beautiful scenery and in fall color peak too! We'll be requesting more info on two of the 5 pieces for sure. Possibly 3. After that we got the garden area path bridge set in place. That's in its own thread.

Garden/ Forest access bridge & stone path project.
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
This afternoon Trina and I finished up the bridge and installed it. The last two vinyl boards to be added were the ends. That'll prevent the aggregate from going down in between the beams. After having the little stream cleaned out and reshaped by the excavator we decided to move the pathway upstream a bit. The old bridge was located just to the right of the hemlock tree at picture left. We'll now curve the path to the right more before crossing the stream. We had already set the bridge in place and were making adjustments to its base. Trina went to get the garden hoe while I held the bridge up. We dug out the dirt and rocks from under the bridge even more than the excavator had done. Once we got a good stable set, we added some of the rocks and dirt we'd taken from the bottom of the channel to the sides of the bridge. These next two pics show the channel we added and the overall set up from each side. We'll continue to add stones to both sides along with creating the approach pathway from each direction. -
And this one has been mine for 60 years. And Mrs.Ks for 80 years. She vacationed here as a 2 yo toddler. We usually spend several weeks here every year. Just got back home after a great week with our two sons and thier wives. VID_20261009_064926134~2.mp4 We had cold and wind the first couple days so we stayed on shore to crab while the Ladies shopped. First crab of the week. This guy watched my traps all day waiting for a handout. The weather really improved and we got out to do some serious crabbing. Crab omelets for breakfast, steamed for lunch, and cakes for dinner. Feeling blessed to have a family that loves it here and keeps me in the game. Blue skies and calm seas to all.

Take the fuel line off the carb crank the engine does gas spurt out???
-
You can probably resolve that by replacing the fuel line which should be done every few years. Run non-ethanol fuel if you have access to it. Another option would be to add a primer bulb or electric fuel pump. Lots of threads on here about any of those.

Eh, I'd rather have the pictures.

My first starter-generator. Is it loud?

That there is a two-fer. ID'd the belt rub and the bad bearing. Win-win. -

Bar Nuthin replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
The belt noise goes away. And I can hear that the majority of the whine is from the pulley side bearing. -

Back in January or February of 2019 my inlaw’s house burned down, 5 days after my MIL was struck by a pickup checking her mail in a polar vortex. She was heavily sedated with lots of broken ribs and bruises so my FIL wept in silence next to her as his childhood home burned down. It’s been a tough rebuild on the inside, though their new home has been finished for some time. They have been going through some of the recovered items finally and found this match book. It’s art work I don’t recall seeing before. Pretty cool!

Toro/Frankensteins' Greens aerator dumper
sjoemie himself replied to sjoemie himself's topic in other brands
It's alive.. ALIIIVVEEE! Starter freed up on it's own.. or I might have had some wires switched around.. I guess we'll never know Took the oilpump, oiltank and gastank off, rinsed, cleaned them all thoroughly. Put them away to dry out for a few days. Made a tiny test gastank and after some fiddling around I found out somebody had put the wrong sparkplug in the engine. It poked to far into the cilinder and made contact with the piston. Luckily nothing got badly damaged and I found a better sparkplug laying around so put that in. Cleaned the carb and took out all kinds of gunk and nastyness from the floatbowl, freed up the float needle and hooked up my tiny test tank. After a couple of tries the Kohler started to cough and flung debris everywhere. Succes! After that I tested the transmission which worked perfectly fine. It's a bit quirky though. It's got one high and one low forward gear and one reverse. The drive is opposite of what you would expect, the drive engages when you step on the clutch pedal and disengages when you let go. For the intended purpose this might be rather handy cause when cleaning the paddocks it's a lot of stop and go/on and off the machine. With this setup there's no need to put the machine in and out of gear everytime you get off the machine. We'll see though, only time will tell. -

If you remove the guard (for test purpose only) is it still loud?? -
In 2001 the fall New Hampshire race was postponed untin Thanksgiving weeked due to 9-11. The next race was the following week in Dover Delaware - and I was there. My wife saw me on TV carrying 2 beers back to my seat! "Yup, there he is, that's my Hubby"! It was eerie having Attack Helicopters circling above all day, as the AFB was close nearby and this was the largest outdoor gathering since the attacks....

I remember an interview done with Cale Yarborough about many of the new drivers coming into NASCAR.. He said the most of them were too skinny and lightweight to ever drive the cars he was driving a half century ago. No power steering, cool suits, head restraint systems, just jump in, hang on and turn left. Lots of the drivers would show up at the local short track on Saturday night after practice and borrow a late model from one of the local drivers and enter the race just for fun. They would intentionally drop out of the race with a few laps to go so they wouldn't screw-up the points system for the locals. Had one local race where Harry Gant was sitting next to me in the grandstands. He would comment on the driving styles of some of the racers and tell why the fastest car wasn't going to win, sure enough he was right. Last weekend they were showing the drivers leaving the driver's meeting. There were fans on both sides of the walkway wanting autographs or a simple fist bump, Kyle Larson was on one side signing everything in sight,, Ryan Blaney was on the other soide3 doing the same and here came Hamlin totally ignoring everyone, guess his s**t don't stink.

The front tab seems to be the one holding the guard too low. Proceeding cautiously so I don't f**k it up. -
Ya gotta be tough to get old. We're all glad you'r still playin Richard.

Ya, I cheated death twice so far this year, blood clots in the lungs in January and internal bleeding in February, eight units of blood (kind of like an oil change but with blood) and two trips to the operating table followed by Ferrous sulphate for several weeks to get my hemoglobin back to normal. A follow up with a cardiologist revealed another potential problem so I guess he can buy that new fishing boat he wanted. I have a little heart surgery coming up at the end of the week, I will post more on that in a few days.

I had a GT14 about 12 years ago ago, so I know what you mean.

Thank you

I have 5 aces of land, so it will be put to work pulling a yard trailer, some mowing and I was hoping to come across a snowblower or front blade for it.
