Yes, I have all the sheetmetal including the exhaust cover/protection part. That kinda fits kinda doesn't.. the 'restoration me' wants to keep it in one piece/original but then it won't sit quite right. The 'getting things done' me says cut it and make it fit. Not 100% sure on that one.. Same thing about cutting the exhaust, it's in good condition and another one is 'Unobtanium' around here.. Third option for a shroud like cover would be to make something from scratch.. I do have some perforated sheet laying around. -
Alright, after installing the new belt had no issues for a couple weeks. Now Im having issues with the mower going up any incline. The engine does not bog down, I dont lose traction, it just slows down or doesn't make it and the wheels dont spin. Checking the drive belt, Im getting a inch or more of deflection which seems like a lot. Also Im not sure if the tension spring is installed in the right spot or maybe stretched. Attached is picture of tension spring. Any ideas on this? Maybe belt slipping?

Absolutely agreed. My Uncle Ron does as well. -

Normally I try to remember to delete the pics from a "quote" but I left this one on purpose. Two things: 1. Was it me, I'd be prone to cut off most of that exhaust pipe and aim the heat oit sideways if possible. I do NOT know what other components are in that heat path/direction/zone. 2. Do you have the engine top cover? The sheet metal that goes over the cylinder head is pretty important for the cooling system as a whole. -
Thank you for doing that.

Oooooooooo. YES! I've invented new "sentence enhancers" after doing just that.

Here's the link just for kicks. Truck seats? Possibly a tractor. I'm guessing late 70s C series.

I couldn't find the existing MIRROR thread. Not much to go on, but how good are you?

Put six of them to bed for the winter. 312H, 520-8, 416H, 520H (X2), 312-8 Siphoned out most of gas then ran till empty. Pulled battery. These were barely ran all summer so I didn't bother doing oil changes etc. Got the 520HC with the plow moved up and I will get it all checked out and ready for winter duty. The 520 with the mower deck is still in service to grind up leaves for the next few weeks. -

Update time. Went to the local mower shop and figured surely they should have something laying around. Well that was a no go. In an entire building filled with mowerparts not one cap that would fit my Kohler gastank I tried looking up several numbers on the Interwebs as suggested by @ebinmaine and others mentioned in several topics but all those caps once delivered to my doorstep cost $50 and upwards. Anyhow, enough with that. Here are some things that did work out. Made a new support structure for the seat. The PO welded pieces of shelving to the headstuds to place a seat. I could not bring myself to leave that as it was so made something else. Installed a new seat that flips up to access the fueltank, engine dipstick and newly fabricated and installed oiltank. New seat installed. Seat flips up to reveal the gastank, dipstick and oil reservoir. Even made a 'hold-the-seat-up-stick' to make life a bit easier. One thing I have to adress here is the way the exhaust ends. It's a bit too close for comfort to the right leg. Thinking about adding a (bit of) elbow to the tip to point it away from the drivers leg or adding somekind of mesh, maybe both. Oil tank made from a reservoir that's normally used for hand operated pumps on (car) trailers. Added a filler neck and cap, breather and a large fitting with barb to hook up the feed-line to the oilpump. New tank holds about 2L or ~0.5 gal. Made a elbow thingy that adapts to the original tiny oil-reservoir to the larger tank. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark -
Have a Great Day Jim

Despite the struggles looks like you're making headway. Be sure to be safe out there though! Parts damaged is no fun but breaking bones or losing a limb is far worse. P.s. is that a Massey cab you're fitting to the Ford?
