  3. We tend to get at least one, usually two or three, of these events every year in July and August, with weeks of temps consistently above 90. I'm just not handling it as well as I did in my 20s.

    Reread your posts and you stated it is a 48" deck. That means the rear cut height adjuster is on the left side if you are sitting in the seat. 42" it is on the right side. Mower DNA 48" side discharge 1966-1967 model RL-486 replaced by 1968 model 5-1481 1969 model 5-1482 1970 model 5-1483 1971 model 5-1200 1972 model 5-1201 1973 model 5-1202 1973-1974 model 5-1210 1975 model 5-1211 1976 model 65-48MS01 1976 model 65-48MS02 1977 model 75-48MS01 - These all used blades with 5/8" x 3/4" double-D center hole unless the spindles have been upgraded.

  7. Today
  8. Today I fabricated the lift link arm and the attaching block for the grader frame. I ran across an issue with the Tach-A-Matic, it is extremely sloppy. I can rock the grader frame up and down around 3/16" to 1/4" on each side and side to side about 1/4" or more. I also ran into a issue with the distance between the two pins on the lift arm. Per the specs I found here on the forum the distance is supposed to be 9-3/4" between pins. Between the sloppiness of the Tach-A-Matic and the 9-3/4" dimension I cold only raise the blade off the ground about 1/2". I found that using a floor jack to force the pivot end of the grader frame upwards in the Tach-A-Matic I could get a little more lift height but not much. I then added a new mounting hold about 1-1/8" lower than the top pin in the lift arm. This pin location change allowed me to lift the grader blade about 2" off the ground and allows the blade to still rest fully on the ground when lowered, which seems to match what I see in pictures online. I tried searching how to repair the Tach-A-Matic and didn't find anything. Just how tight should the Tach-A-Matic hold the shaft? Should there be any up/down or fore/aft movement of the arm when it's being held by the Tach-A-Matic? Suggestions welcome

    314 hydro

    What transmission? 700 (314-A) or 1100 (314-H)? They used both. Does it have a hydraulic attachment lift or is it arm strong?

    My Thumb Oilers

    Since my last post on this subject if have been lucky to find a few great "new" cans for my collection. First is an Eagle No.66 Brass Oiler And one that I found just this past Friday. I didn't know what I had until I cleaned it up. This is a thumb oiler from a 1920 Pierce Arrow tool kit.
  15. Checked it and, yes, it's the 20 amp system and the D spec, so 52 volts AC is normal according to the chart. Thanks!

    Not running smoth

    Same here but some do and some don't. More so with small blocks. Always suspected it has something to do with variable timing issues. Points variation, cam lash or something like that but could be dead nuts wrong too. Never bad enough to really worry about so I just run er.

    Sounds like you're looking in the right places. My old Kohlers splutter just a tiny bit every few seconds unless under load and I've never got them adjusted properly whatever it is.

    I think Navajo White was renamed Cottage White (insulting to native Americans maybe??) so that’s what I’ve been using for wheels.
