Removing Mower deck pulleys
Brockport Bill replied to Brockport Bill's topic in Implements and Attachments
did not get pulley collar red hot - the kit did not come with coil that fit tight to pulley collar so that might have prevented the heat conduction from making red hot ??????? - Today

Install Snow Blower Chute aiming cable??
Ed Kennell replied to Machria's topic in Implements and Attachments
FYI, the later model chute cranks had a spool on the crank to increase the diameter of the wrapped cable. It worked much better. -
Install Snow Blower Chute aiming cable??
Machria replied to Machria's topic in Implements and Attachments
Thanks again! I was just thinking about this, if the 7 turns does the 90 deg, and I thought the other 90 deg would be from wrapping the other direction (7 more turns) as you continue cranking. So maybe the directions are wrong as to when to point the shoot forward. It states make the wraps with the chute pointing right, then turn it to forward (center position), then tighten cable. Maybe I should be doing the wrap with the chute facing forward, then tighten. Thatt way 7 CCW turns will go 90 deg to left, and 7 CW turns back to center/forward, and 7 more CW turns to reach 90 deg right? I'll try again tomorrow, and take a few pics if I can't figure out. Seems so simple but confusing! -
Install Snow Blower Chute aiming cable??
Ed Kennell replied to Machria's topic in Implements and Attachments
Yeah, 7-8 wraps should work. Can you post a picture so we can compare your pic to the manual pic. I think the written instructions are correct. The illustration of the beginning of the wire wind does not look exactly correct where it comes out of the crank hole. The ccw wind direction does seem correct which would put the wire on top of the crank . With this set up the crank would need to turn CCW to rotate the chute Left and CW to rotate right which seems correct as when the crank handle is at the top, it will be moving the same direct as the chute. -

A quick calc of the diameters of the chute and the rod show 8 wraps should give you 180 degrees rotation. -

Machria replied to Machria's topic in Implements and Attachments
Hmmmm. interesting, never thought of trying that. But I thought after you "unwound" the 7 wraps, it would simply start wrapping the opposite direction 7 new wraps (if you started on left and then went all the way to the right side for example)? No? 14 wraps seems like it would be a tangled mess, but I'll give it a whirl tomorrow, ran out of light today while scratching my head with this puzzle (which doesn't take much!). Thanks -

Try 14 wraps. It doesn't really matter which way you wrap the wire. The wrap direction only fixes the direction you will need to turn the crank to turn the chute L or R -
If you got a tombstome weight with that for $25 you've been on quite a roll. You better send that tombome to me, Ill even pay shipping to help you avoid the Look like it might even have good tires on it. I like the look of those rear ones!

You try walking around with a woody when your junk is that close to the ground. You'd walk funny too.

I left this 6 point and a 5 point walk earlier in bow season hoping to get a shot at the Piebald that I saw in July. I only saw him one time in 30 days of hunting. With bow season coming to a close I decided to take the next legal buck that offered a good shot. At 4 pm today this buck walked into my shooting lane, I grunted and stopped him at 17 yards, made the perfect shot and saw him drop 40 yds away.

Two tractors and lots of parts

Well dang, you are close. I still have pretty much everything. I might even consider delivering to you (my cargo trailer is full of stuff I'd have to unload first). Will give you a call, if that's your preference. -
42" Snowblower Model 6-9121 (instructions attached) I found an old thread talking about what cable to use to replace the cable that aims the chute, its a Stainless Steel 1/16" (1.5mm) cable with 7x19 strands. Found on Amazon for $7.59 for 6 meters (about 20 feet which is plenty). Perfect, matches my old cable that broke. Replacement cable found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFC77LVD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 HOWEVER, I can't seem to get it installed properly, I attached the instructions and they are pretty simple except for it is a bit inconsistent. Step 3 says "...then wrap 7 complete turns in direction shown in Figure 4. Finish last turn on top of crank." Well, if you look at the image, it is wrapping the wrong direction in order to finish on the top side of the crank and head toward the shoot. In addition the diagram says "DIRECTION OF WRAP" w/ an arrow, and the arrow wraps the opposite direction of the wrap on the crank in the picture! OK, so a typo and/or the guy doing the drawing screwed it up a bit, BUT I tried it every which way and it seems no matter how I do it, it can only get the shoot to move 90 deg, from pointing far left to pointing straight forward and then it stops (cable has nowhere to go and stops). It's not a rocket science, but I'll be darned if I could figure this simple thing out! I'm perplexed and it seems like a little trick puzzle, and I'm TERRIBLE at puzzles!! Anyone have advice/help here?? Thanks in advance!!! PS-Think I'm going to list my GT-14, 42" Snowblower and cart for sale. It's killing me as I really LOVE this tractor, she's a workhorse but I just don't have room to store it anymore. Snow Blower CableWrap Instructions.pdf

This one needs an E clip: I ran it all afternoon on lawn sweeper duty with a piece of electric fence wire holding the link in the governor arm.

I was back in Ky working on our property there last week. I put a bit of time on EJ the 8n using the grader blade to smooth some gravel I had delivered. While I was parking the grader blade, I gave the right rear wheel a shake - loose. Out of time on that trip, I parked EJ and made a mental note to get a wrench on that hub nut before I use him next trip. Hopefully, it just worked loose, as there is no provision for the factory style locking clip, and the special key supplied with the repair nut didn't fit the axle.

C-145 Auto electrical problems

A new set of points will have a slight film over the contact areas, Use a dollar bill or brown paper bag to remove this. Do not use sandpaper or a file. Have you used static timing to accurately set your points? I attached a YouTube video to a prior post to guide you through it. -
Dear Lord, your servant Stephen Jones, affectionately known as “Rollerman,” will begin clinical trials for cancer treatments. Please guide the medical decisions made on his behalf and should it become necessary, allow the surgeon's hands to be steady and effective to do the task at hand, and not create any further damage. We pray against any infection or complications. Calm the heart of his family. Lord, please allow this temporary trial to bring an end to Stephen’s battel with cancer and help speed the needed approvals to allow others to benefit from this treatment in the future. When he has infusions, please let the side effects be minimal. Work a miracle in this whole situation and bless it from beginning to end. Thank you, Lord, we praise you as we know we are in good hands- the very hands of God. In Jesus name, we thank you for each day. Amen.

Camper cover building construction thread
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
This past weekend was the typical super busy type for us. Our friend showed up around 10:00 Saturday morning and stayed til noon today helping Trina work on the new camper building this morning. More friends came by Saturday afternoon for a visit. Saturday night and Sunday night were both campfire nights. Both of those were also experimentations with the new fryer. Saturday we did a whole chicken. Sunday we tried out various small things that Trina found in the freezer. All of them were excellent. Here is the wall they built this morning. Here's the anchors and straps I'm hoping will hold the whole shed down in the wind. There's 16 of em. - Yesterday

Nice find. Interresting S/G double pulley only on the engine, 701 style. That may be why the belt guerd is not seen... The removable side panel foe the deck on yours is missing - refer to ML3's picture. You got one on the other side? The 702 - the one that got me started...
