Toro/Frankensteins' Greens aerator dumper
ri702bill replied to sjoemie himself's topic in other brands
Nice! The starter spinning but not engaging sounds like the starter drive Bendix is gummed up and sticking. It has nothing to do with the solenoid... Clean the drive, do not use oil or grease. Dry lube only. -
The D series are much larger than the C series; they are a true Compact Tractor. They were made in Belgium - the 2 smaller ones - D180 and D200 had Onan engines I believe. The big boy, the D250 had a 25HP liquid 4 cylinder Renault car engine. The two biggest drawbacks are that no implements for the D series interchange with other models. And since they were made roughly 45 years ago, finding replacement parts can be a challenge.....

"Another topic!?" I hear you think.. yes.. this thing has been sitting in my yard for way to long. Now with the darker, colder and wetter weather coming up I would like to get it going. The idea is to use it around the house and for the better half to use it to rid the paddocks of horse crêpe.. Bought it off my neighbour a few years ago where it had been sitting long enough a small tree grew through it. "It" in this case is what started it's life as a walk behind Toro Greens Aerator. Kind of a coring machine specifically for golf courses. Somewhere in it's previous life somebody deleted the aerating part of the machine and put a dumping bed on the frame along with a seat. What you see below remains. Lots of stuff to do. Started to clean up the rims, ordered new tires, valve stems and a bit of paint yesterday. Took the fueltank which was full of water off along with the improvised hydraulic oil tank which was also full of water. I'm hoping the pump has survived, if not I might have to order one for it. Good news is that it has a Kohler 16hp engine which seems to be in good condition. Carbs' clean, airfilter Ok-ish, oil on the dipstick. Only thing is the starter does turn when connected directly to a battery however does nog engage the flywheel gear thingamabob.. might be a solenoid issue?? Stripped down a bit for cleaning/inspecting Other side. Note the hydraulic pump is driven off the flywheel side of the engine. New rubbah.. Quite a wide load. Thanks for reading!

Cool! That looks like a Wisconsin V4 engine up front. Those poor little front wheels sure take a beating with that big an engine on the nose of that machine. Edit: that IS a Wisconsin engine as seen on the engine plate

Nicely done! We're planning on adding a small mud room to the front and replacing the side deck next spring.

Checked the trail cam this afternoon. First time I've caught them going at it. Seems like a bit of a mismatch though.

That wasn't a good picture of that structure. It was from the realtor shots years ago. Here's a current shot. Those two smaller windows are at the kitchen sink. The door to the right of them goes into a mud/laundry room. The garage starts just to the right of that door. The far right door does go in the garage. The fenced area is to keep the abundant coyote population away from our little fur babies. The structure was screened in but the screen was a mess. I just removed it all. We no longer even have an outdoor grill. My wife has a countertop gizmo that does just as good for the two of us. We have put a smoker in the room now and then. It does sit on a special mat. The bottom line is that we just want it gone. We don't use it. It is a decent structure Richard. Ideally we find somebody that has the means to move it to another property. At 12' x 12' moving it down the road would be an issue. I can't help but think it's doomed for destruction and a dumpster. That's the first I've heard of sealing the ends on composite decking. Over last winter I gathered 10-12 samples and literature packs of all flavors of decking. Talked to countless contractors and sales people and watched a gazillion videos. I can't say it wouldn't be a good idea but it was never mentioned.

Camper cover building construction thread

We used to erect Cover-All buildings for the company and many of the things I was looking at looked familiar to the way they were put together so that was the reason for my inquirery. I didn't think they had products that small. -

It is a Cover Tech. I had it made and shipped from New Brunswick. Frame is still perfect but it will need a new cover in the next year or two. -
widen rear wheels
kpinnc replied to sqrlgtr's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I ran the wheel opposite of the direction of the grinder. With both wheels off the ground the differential makes it difficult. Again regardless of direction- don't bear down on the grinder just let it run. The cuts are far better if the grinder creates a straight groove to follow. -

Some people use railroad ties for a base when installing metal buildings. If you have a good source they should outlast the new generation of treated lumber. -

Eric, Who did you purchase your car/camper port from? Thanks. -
Such a short run on a momentous topic. Seven months and a lot of crass opinions later, she's back doing Celebrity Roasts along with Don Rickels and Phylis Diller...

Did you hear the rumor about butter? Well, I'm not going to go spreading it!

The word on the street is that Trex or any of the composites require you to seal any cut ends because they are basically plastic coated compressed glued sawdust on the inside... Why not move the offending structure over to be in front of the two garage windows instead? A screened in sun room is a nice feature during the summer... a comfortable living space on the inside, bugs on the outside... I did not see an outdoor gas grill in back - a word of caution if you have one on a Trex surface. Grease drippings from the grill that land on the decking will leave stubborn, almost non removable stains. Home stores sell a containment tray that the grill sits on - it looks like an oversized boot tray. 953 types faster than I do......
