    314H cleanup and repair.

    This machine is weird in that some little bits are badly corroded but most is good. Even the hood was easy to buff to a decent shine. I do agree that it likely spent a bit of time outside in it's previous life and likely rarely if ever got cleaned. The rear axle was a terrible mess of greasy mucky goop, likely enough to fill a good sized pail. I don't know where it came from as I have not found a leak anywhere.

    855 leaking axle seals

    I jacked it up to give it a pre-repair check... both hubs are loose on the axles, or the bearings are shot... or the shafts or hubs are wollered out... I dunno. I'll know more when I pull them off.

    Day Lilies and my neighbor buddy Greg

    I was afraid I hadn’t back filled enough soil on the lilies. I had the big trailer full of dirt that needed to be emptied. I am happy to see fresh growth on the greens! Trailer is empty, maybe another good drink for the plants, and they should be good to go according to my mentors.

    1973 18 HP {1-0610 8} With Some Implements

    Got everything unloaded today and used the air gun to blow out all of the years of debris accumulation. The tractor is actually in overall pretty good condition considering it sat outside unused for at least 12 years. The engine does turn over and has compression so the first task will be to replace the fuel line, fuel filter and probably pull the carburetor and clean it in the ultrasonic cleaner. The engine oil looks good and the same for the gearbox oil. I plan on changing the engine oil before trying to start it and once the engine is running I'll change the gearbox oil and filter and then see if it will move under it's own power. After inspecting the gas tank I realized that it's not the original tank So I'm now on the hunt for an original replacement tank. I also found that while the air filter base is correct, it had the wrong filter and was using a hub cap for the cover So I'm also on the hunt for the correct air filter cover. While fiddling with the front grille I noticed that there were no holes for the bottom pins to fit into. Looking closer I found that the lower front cross member was installed upside down. I have since rotated the cross member and now the grille fits properly. I wonder how many years it has been like that. It doesn't have a battery tray so I've been searching for some sort of replacement. More than likely I'll just fabricate one myself so if anyone knows the dimensions that would help tremendously

    What did you do today?

    Down to Massachusetts helping my mom for a day. Trina pressure washed the entire back deck. Scraped the old paint off. Repeat. Repeat. Then... Removed the chicken wire that stapled all over the inside to keep the former dog in. I added a few screws to the ballusters. We replaced a post off the back steps. Then Trina painted ALL of the vertical parts and rails and ballusters. Inside. Outside. Steps. New. Old. Completed, not like it used to be - half covered. Tomorrow morning she's intending to paint the deck surface.

    The Things People Toss…

    That is why Dollar General is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the United States, driven by aggressive store expansion, high consumable sales, and a surge in budget-conscious shoppers. The discount chain operates over 20,000 stores across 48 states. People will buy lower quality products thinking they are getting a good buy when in reality the price per pound (square foot or any other unit) is higher than others charge.

    310-8 problem

    I pretty sure the newer ones had some kind of Numb Nuts switch arrangement that turned off the engine if the brake was on and clutches released i think it was a 315-8 Also had a neutral start switch. It was magnetic switch. it really complicated wiring, and added relays, must have happened a lot in

    Just one, how about all six of them on the Indianapolis Speedway. Can you say speedy sausages?

    520-HC 9 pin

    You will probably be best off buying a five pin relay socket from any good auto parts store. The relay will have the numbers cast into the base.

    Kohler KS 595 No Start

    Kohler Command engines are somewhat prone to have sheared flywheel keys that will allow the ignition to occur at the wrong time.

    310-8 problem

    The problem was the noise from the Trac Vac is so loud i could not hear the engine bog down. When it kept slowing down and stopping I thought it was running out of fuel. Guess I cleaned all the grease off the brake lining. Yeah, I should probably move this gear drive down the road before I total it. I've had some near misses when I push the left pedal to stop and it just goes faster.

    310-8 problem

    That's amusing..... and concerning to me.... because I'm no flatlander. Mebbe just too tilted???

    310-8 problem

    I always put my foot on the clutch and brake pedals while shifting so have never experienced this but can see where a flatlander could have it happen.
