Sometimes STUPID can be good. I bought a marketplace 310-8 for $175. It was advertised as not running and a locked transmission. I saw what appeared to be a like new 42" SD deck, so I bought it un seen for the deck and parts. The PO said the clutch is locked up and it will not start. He had called a nearby lawn and garden tractor sales and service shop that would pick it up for $150 but it probably needs a new $600 transmission and some engine work. He advertised it for cheap to make room for the new tractor he bought from the same dealer. The only problem was a worn drive belt that had allowed the clutch damper plate to fall below the damper piston. The piston then popped out and locked the clutch un the up position. Of course net being able to depress the clutch and close the clutch safety switch prevented it from starting. About an hour and a new TSC drive belt and it was mowing my yard. BTW, he had installed a new deck that was used one season before the tractor died. STUPID was good to me..

I have not checked the oil yet. I will put it in gear and rock it and try that. would not surprise me if the fork isn’t broke after seeing some of the other silliness that was done. This is a C series, correct? getting ready to take the drive belt off. I have a BCD series owners manual but there is no schematic for belt route. Is that available somewhere where? Does the mower and tiller take a totally different drive dog/mule? I got two of them. Got the HF engine off today. This thing is a pig and needs a bath. I have not checked the problem getting dirty, but why not keep stuff clean or at least pressure wash it off before you start a project, always baffled me. About have it stripped down to the frame, console is all that’s left. Thanks for the input folks. Much appreciated on my end. Have fooled with a lot of tractors over the years large and small, my first go with a WH. They seem to be no overly engineered but engineered well

Spent several months in the area installing new runners in the Seneca Falls pump turbine hydro plant. Beautiful country.

Well, my fix on my bendix with a random spring lasted almost a year and a half (17 months) but when starting her up yesterday, I could hear that the starter just didn't sound right. Lo and behold, pulled the starter and the bendix was screwed up again. This time though one of the washers was stuck to the shaft for whatever reason, crushing the spring. Pulled it apart, found a new washer, and clipped off the bent portion of the spring. Unfortunately the spring is too short now, so I stretched it out and put it back together for now. So far, so good. But I'll have to source a new spring at Ace at some point. Hopefully I can find something! - Today

Check Craigslist. I think there's some left over cable for sale from the Mackinaw Bridge. Should work... Trail cam of Kevin "inspecting" the cable for possible use in his shop... -

I've used wire nuts in the past and shot silicone caulk into the connector... locks up the connection, waterproof, and was what I had on hand... never had an issue going on 5 years winter plowing... -

I've been using these heat shrink splices that have solder in them. They are the "Cats Meow"! But it does take a good hot heat gun to get it hot enough to melt the solder in them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073RMRCC3/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ANYCM9RSLDH7Y&th=1 -
Most small engine shops only want to do 2 things. Sell you equipment or service what they sell. That's about it.

I take Bella for a walk at one of the many state parks within a few miles from home every morning when I'm not working. Yesterday was Dean's Cove on Cayuga lake and today Seneca Lake St.Park.

Somehow many think that an Onan is different. If you are having problems just download the service manual, for an Onan download it here. An operators manual is available here.

It belongs to Andrew Kitson (the auctioneer at Portage), I doubt it is for sale. But I am first in line for a Power Cat, when the owner decides to sell. -

Slow race. Look closely, it is moving. They gave him a disadvantage, he started close to the finish line. IMG_5693.mov -
