I may be able to them fine from a local store - do I need any glue or just tighten the pipe to the engine?

As rattle cans go (available in quarts for HVLP also), this stuff is hard to beat. Cures a little slow but has higher gloss than regular Regal red. And Regal Red is good stuff as well. Rust-Oleum is never as durable as automotive paint but works well for what it is and scratches are repairable as well.
-
Hard to argue that point. That is a beautiful machine and you did great!
-
Thanks @Achto Dan! You know how to get ahold of me if you find something…if you do, I’ll try to arrange it so that you can swing by dad’s on your way home from work and surprise him with it😎🙌🏻
-
@ebinmaine, you might want to test this on scrap plastic first. Lacquer might be a solvent for styrene!

They finally caught it. It's all safe & sound. I ever mention that I can't eat kangaroo meat? It makes me jumpy

Looks to be a lacquer based, use as packaged putty. Wii be fine for minor imperfections. USC 32035 Red Glazing Putty is a lacquer-based, one-component, fast-drying putty. It is designed for fine-finish filling of minor imperfections like pinholes, scratches, and chips.

Let me check, I'm pretty sure that I have one in stock. If I do it's his.

@WHX?? @Achto I heard you guys had a kangaroo sighting this last week. -
But is it really worth the aggrevation to remove the fittings & you usually need to crush the block nipple anyway to get it out. All the carbon packs the NPT threads for a "lifetime" fit... I would think that inch sized pipe & fittings would be available up there ...

856… Only pre attach a matic decks fit?
ri702bill replied to FLtractor's topic in Implements and Attachments
The timing of the blades appears to be adequate, but not optimal. As shown, one should be vertical, the other horizontal. The swept path is an overlap - the blades must be timed so the tips do not collide - think about a WW1 fighter plane shooting a machinegun where the bullets go thru the spinning propeller. Similar results if not timed!!ing is done thru the mesh of the cross shaft end gears to the spindle gears. -
A #5091 will do you nicely. 8 speed with 1 1/8" axles. Common in a lot of the late 60's and 70's horses.

856… Only pre attach a matic decks fit?
Handy Don replied to FLtractor's topic in Implements and Attachments
One possible reason for the extremely light wear on the blades of that 32" gear deck (and maybe part of the incentive to sell it?) could be that the blades are on the wrong spindles and thus “leading" with their backs to cut instead of the sharpened edges. Pretty lousy cutting performance that way. Correct rotation is that the cutting ends sweep toward the rear of the deck along the outer edge and then toward the front of the deck in the center. That bracket at the rear underside of the gear deck should have an anti scalp roller in it. -
Is that a young @wallfish kneeling on the left of the banner ? @c-series don ? did he need a ride to the show. Doesn't look old enough to drive.

Hmmm. Per the Toro parts diagram, there is no bearing in the factory build! This looks to me like a PO drilled out the bracket to “re-round” the hole and then added bushings in the hope that they’d absorb the wear instead of the bracket. Only your caliper and some testing can determine the state of the bracket holes. If you have the skills (or know someone who does), I’d strongly consider doing the same thing again. My go-to for specific bearing/bushing sizes that I cannot find in the Hillmann drawers at Lowes or the hardware store is McMaster-Carr (although I did once get a lathe-owning friend to custom-turn a set down from a “stock” OD). Just keep in mind that the position of the bracket hole relative to the deck need not be overly precise-- ±0.125 inches is not a problem!
-
It looks like the right side tire has more traction? I’d flip flop that to the left, and add left side weight however you can. I stacked two weights on the left and have none on the right of my 753 sickle machine.

Any thoughts or experiences with USC 32035 ?

Our tractors are still workers (even though the 875 is on “really lite duty” these days!) dad sent me a text yesterday that he was rolling the lawn with Clyde and after he was finished he noticed something laying in the yard. He went to pick it up and realized it was the steering wheel center cap demolished😢. Any suggestions on where I can purchase a good replacement for him? Dad takes care of his things so well and is a stickler for details as you can see in the above posts. I know he is “sick” about this and I want to get it taken care of for him ASAP. Reproduction or nice original would be great. thanks for your help guys—this is such a great community!

Although it surely depends on which three heads!

I would go with Or less. This is an excellent ultra fine body filler. I use it as the very last coat when doing filler work to get rid of any pin holes or minor imperfections. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ucp-26006 This product runs a very close second. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/fantastic/u-pol-fantastic-glaze/upl2/up0922
