I recently stumbled across a YT channel that is mostly heavy metal versions of old hymns. I'm liking it.

Found this article interesting and about a good song too. But a sad one. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/harry-chapins-1974-no-1-134411189.html

@Ed Kennell noting your pto . I also disconnected my related brake pad set up , while going thru, my upgrade years ago , on anything with rotational drag , collectively that bearing drag , eats clutches , and and was just something , i was going to improve, often refer to my mule drive down belt easily moving by hand and also no related frayed belts , from incremental bearing hang up , that mower deck , spindle belt , with added flat idler on back return side , eliminated that long unsupported belt bounce . have not had any bearing issues of any kind , noise/ rough , my pto spindle still spins , when I turn off the engine , silently . like a repetitive problem , for track down and elimination . you can see what fails , often find other related areas , for me once I start , just keep going , my plow frame , was unrelating trouble spots , just me and a roller stool , it completely exposed itself , swings like butter , pete .

401 Suburban Resto
Easton Rich replied to Achto's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
It doesn't look like it. The board is original, but someone built the frame it looks like. I could be wrong -
What are you hoping to accomplish by modifying the carb? Is the engine already modified?

Some assembly today. No, not on the tractor. I put together the plow that I painted a few weeks ago. Normally I spread grease on the shiny portions of my plows for storage. This plow I plan to display with the tractor this year so I really don't want do deal with a plow full of grease when I'm handling and transporting it around. So instead of grease I choose to spray the shiny portions with Till-Guard. This paint is designed to protect the polished surface and to scour off when the plow is put back in use. One up front warning - this stuff really thin and runs very easily. Very thin coats or spray like normal paint and wait for your runs to reach the bottom of the share & let them drip off. Question time - Can anyone tell me if this is actually a plow?. Reason that I ask is because in the pictures that I find the plows have a turn buckle to adjust pitch. This one has an L bolt with 2 nuts on the adjuster.

WH D 250 steering box to power steering.

A Simplicity Sunstar tractor has power steering. Any way you do it modifications will need to be done. There isn't going to be a bolt on kit for it. https://jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/manufacturer/simplicity/simplicity/simplicity/garden-tractors/sunstar-series/1691381-sunstar-20hp/steering-group-power -
I might take you up on that. I am not sure if we have any of those seat pans in stock but I will definitely let you know. Thank you.

I do believe it was Don. If Casual Jason was still around he could shed more light on it. Hi guys, I'm still around once in a while. Just usually not much to say. That sweeper in the original post is not a Litter Whisk, it's one of the later Wheel Horse branded ones that were made by Parker. The bracket Jim circled is where the brush height adjuster goes. You can see good pic of the whole unit in this topic below. The one in the original post is missing many parts. The Litter Whisk sweeper has a flat front shield above the drive rollers, and yes the unit required two holes to be drilled in the back of the fender to be mounted and hang from a bracket that goes under the fender. The suspended weight of the unit pressing the rollers against the rear wheels are what drives it.

Click right on the link you posted in your first post and scroll down. Click #23 bronze bushing. But $21.00 seems kinda steep. I believe they are a common 7/8 OD x 3/4 ID bronze bushing. Probably find them longer in length than what you need but then cut off the excess after tapping it into the hole. A fine round file or even sandpaper can be used to smooth that cut edge. I haven't changed any of those but added quite a few bushings to the ones that didn't come with a bushing in them. Most of my tractors are older

I've used the XIKe bearings for 15 years haven't had any problems with them. It's not likely the bearings are the problem that they are loose in the wheels. The wheels get worn and won't hold the bearing tight . I have had a few wheel to get badly worn, all were on a tractor used for mowing.

I have an original carb off my K341 and want to modify it. bigger bore, more fuel. what do I do?

We had a walk-in tub installed back in the summer of 2016. It holds 70 gallons...I was told then that my 40 gallon gas water heater was marginal for year round use and a larger one would be needed by winter. I did not have the physical space for an 80 or 100 gallon unit. I did have room though for a 30 gallon second tank on the other side of the chimney to "temper" the incoming water to about 80 degrees first and then feed the 40. Works so well that i can turn the 30 way down in the summer...

Finishing the 2nd floor bathroom
SylvanLakeWH replied to JCM's topic in non tractor related discussion
Nice! uhm... please don't show any of this thread to Mrs Sylvan... -
Oh ok, that sounds a lot better than trying to get the fan gear out... Where can I get a new bushing for this?

Back in 2009 I enlarged the footprint of the 1980 original 2nd floor 3/4 bathroom. I figured it was time because one wall still had the insulation exposed with fiberglass encapsulated by Johns - Mansville with a 2009 date on it. Ordered a new Andersen double casement that just came in after 6 weeks which is average for Windows.Also ordered a new Deep Soaking Tub which was 6 weeks as well. The last house had a Kohler cast iron 550 lb whirlpool tub on the 2nd floor. Pictured is the new Deep soaking tub with built in lumbar support and built in armrests. This tub is up on the 2nd floor awaiting window install so I can proceed. Can't wait to enjoy it. Feels nice to finally do Plumbing at home instead of traveling all around putting in10 and 12 hours days on the road with overnight stays. Stay tuned

They’ve still got that Gibson on display I see. It’s been there since at least 2000 when I went through there. If I remember correctly, the 420LSE was given to the city of South Bend by WH when it was new. Great museum. Steve

Yeah a fixed pulley works on the drive side or the clutch side. I put mine on the top side to push the belt down below the lowered tunnel and got the better wrap on the tranny pulley as a bonus.

I would think if you rebuild the steering block you should be good much better. I don't think I have ever done much to the lower shaft except for cleaning and painting to make it look better.
