    Yeah, it’d mean breaking out the “gazintas”. 24 gazinta 48 two times
  3. If you are looking for help identifying the model, we’ll need some pictures!

    With six children, our family rides were 9-seater International Travelalls with the three on the tree. Took my drivers test with it and got a compliment from the evaluator at my smooth clutch and shifting work. Failed, though, for making a left turn from the right lane of a one-way street. Learned something new that day!

    Certainly could, but that would add quite a bit of mental fingering to my 48" cuts for everything "jig"...

    I wondered if they could be offset and nested. It would complicate the support.
  9. I've decided I need a mid mount grader blade for my 18 HP Automatic and I realize the odds of finding one are pretty much non existent so I'm going to make one. I found someone that's willing to provide me with dimensions so I've started the ball rolling. It took a few weeks but the fab shop was able to roll 1/4" steel plate so I now have the blade, the blade backing plate and some 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" tubing. I'll post pictures and build information for anyone that wants to fabricate their own setup. The two round discs are for fabrication of a rear hub puller for the 18 HP. More to come....

    Excellent question...! While i really want the old straight skis, they are harder to come by as time goes on... there's actually quite a market for ski furniture and ski wainscoting, fencing, etc... I use the straighter middle section of the ski and then use the wider tips for accents or accessory tables... pic 1 is shape skis with xc skis. Pic 2 is straight skis with the tips on the small table... examples:

    How do you deal with the tapered skis?
  13. Thanks for the info! I didn't see your response until today, I keep forgetting to click "notify me of replies" I tried searching for the 9599 rod from a Raider 10 but had no success.
  14. Today
  15. I'm not currently planning on adding a second pedal. From what I've found in the documentation for a Raider 8 and Raider 10 is they were equipped with the 5086 transmission which has 1" axles and is an 8-speed. After comparing the parts breakdown of a Raider 10 with my 656 the only difference in the linkage is one brake rod. The Raider 10 brake rod is part # 9599 and the 656 uses a # 3935. The difference is the 3935 is straight and the 9599 has a kink in it of around 30 degrees to account for the actuation point being above the drum instead of below. The picture below shows a Raider 10 with the 9599. The parts breakdown picture is from a Raider 10 manual. I've purchased a 103538 rod that is used on the B100 8-speed tractors. The shallow bend is in the wrong direction but I'm hoping I can bend it the other direction. Based on what I've found by searching the forum is the rod is to long so I'll have to add threads and shorten the rod. 103538 should arrive today so I should know if I'm on the right path by the end of the day

    trying to ID a 36 rear discharge deck

    When comparing decks it is quicker to use an onsite look-up such as this. Just enter the model numbers as posted. https://www.partstree.com/ You can also see what is still available from Toro if it is priced. Armed with original and superseded part numbers you can search out the aftermarket sources.

    Is nine months long enough?

    The key is here. I hope to get to it this afternoon! The shaft has also been cleaned.

    What did the farmer get when he crossed an owl with a goat? a 'Hootinanny' Why did the farmer feed his pigs sugar and vinegar? He wanted sweet and sour pork! What did the farmer say when he lost one of his cows? What a miss-steak. Who takes care of the farm when the farmer is sick? The farmacist (pharmacist). Why did the lamb call the police? He had been fleeced. Why was the cucumber mad? Because it was in a pickle! How did the farmer find his lost cow? He tractor down. What do you call cattle with a sense of humor? Laughing stock. What grows when fed but dies when watered? Fire. What do you give a sick horse? Cough stirrup! What do you call a dog on the farm? A Corn Dog.

    The ultimate theft deterrent device, kids today wouldn't know how to steal it.
  25. Oh I should add that I am also look for the PART # for the (left/right) deck wheels at the rear of the deck. they appear to be well made - the bearings are fine... the rubber on the wheels is nearly gone. thanks Dave.
