Thank you Bill. Finally, dedicated tractors. The only solution.
-
I think you should buy a second one for mowing and yard cart duties. 😉

Maybe I should quit laughing at the Facebook people posting pictures of their tractors with blowers, weights, chains and snow cabs that they installed over the Labor Day weekend.

She's a very gentle filly... knows how to get her rider home safely and never ever bucks them off... even if they have a few too many Capt'ns under their belt... Or... so I've heard... from reliable sources... -
Fixed it for ya...
-
Sounds about right lol
-
You're close. 5 tractors. I loaded one. That's it. And she took the pics too. I should also probably clarify... SHE bought the log splitter too.

As I understood it BBT loaded the trailer and you took the pictures.

Logs..... I guess ????

Hello Everyone, I redid my procedure and maybe being tired last night and with my eyesight not being what it once was everything turned out fine. Thanks for all your input. I did see those pushrods mentioned by Paul on EBAY if anyone ever needs them. Price points are all over the place. I am getting a little bit closer to remounting the engine on the frame. I redid the rings, re-honed the cylinders, cleaned the valves, and brought them up to standard clearances. I am hoping she will start up in a couple of weeks. Regards, Bob

You gave her a log splitter, what more could a girl ask for.

It is a simple hairpin put in a hole to retain the rear of the lift tube. Now imagine doing that in the dirt or snow laying under the tractor with the parts too close to focus your eyes on them.

That's why Trina - aka The Paint Department - does all our work.

I did the combination or cards and tape for the back wheels so I feel fairly safe there but this will be the first time just using cards for the front. Fingers crossed I don't get paint where I don't want it.

Sounds like you haven't adjusted the ignition points correctly. Have you set the ignition points using this method? Find the wide opening: Rotate the engine crankshaft or flywheel by hand until the lobe forces the breaker points to their widest possible opening. Loosen the screw: Slightly loosen the mounting screw that holds the points bracket so the plate can slide with gentle pressure. Set the gap: Insert a 0.020-inch feeler gauge between the point contacts. Adjust the bracket using a screwdriver in the adjustment slot until you feel a slight drag on the feeler gauge. Tighten and verify: Tighten the securing screw firmly. Recheck the gap with the feeler gauge to make sure it did not shift when tightened.

I'm SOOOOO glad my S/O is such a not girly girl.

I have not painted them yet. Hopefully tomorrow as it was very windy today. I am starting with grey primer then silver aluminum paint as I have a few cans of that here. I like a bright silver wheel on this generation.
-
Sounds like a Park Pawl bit the dust. Toss the slush box and flip a stick in there!
-
Thar's all I see. I'll pull it down tomorrow and look closer. Dave
-
Any other decals?
-
I will go along with the LUCK part, we could have broadsided the truck if I hadn't taken evasive action. If the other driver hadn't stopped he would have broadsided us.
-
Found this engine in the back of the shipping container of my wife's grandfather's barn. Wondering what size this is. Thanks, Dave
-
IMO, once it's running those settings have no value. Find the center between rich and lean and then do final adjustments for acceleration and under load. When those are optimal or just a bit rich, set the idle speed and high RPM.

@cleat what color did you use for the rims? The 312 and 308 are due for a refresh as the 308’s are too bright and the 312’s are chipping off so I thought I’d fix that.
