Put wheel bearings in front wheels on the 701 today. Didn’t realize there was bushings instead of bearings in these 701 wheels but figured the bearings would be easier on the front spindles. I did notice that the drag link or the shouldered bolt (wheel horse calls it clevis pin part # 3049) in the drag link is wore pretty bad on left side and needs some attention. -
I've repaired 2 of those steering wheels cracked just like that with JB Weld. One recently, and one over 5 years ago still holding strong. The oil leak could be an oil pan gasket or the seal under the flywheel.

Looks like my old Simplicity blade

Squonk's idea of a magnet in the tank for the fine rust is a good idea. That is what clogged the sediment bowl up.

Yep, Why not have clean fuel in the pump and carb?
-
Filter before the pump. Grit can destroy an electric pump.

Interestingly, a company that runs numerous ferries in NY Harbor, the East River, and the North River (the actual name of the Hudson south of the GW Bridge!) revived our old route this summer for a few weekends where big events were happening in the shore points it used to connect. Passengers and bicycles only, but apparently it was heavily used and likely to be repeated next summer.

Have a set of WH front and rear cast iron weights I’m going to use. Going to give that a try before adding any fluid. Driveway is level and only about 40 feet long. -
I remember an episode where they broke something in the front end. They were in an area that was not friendly to them.

Ok From what I saw there is a bushing on both sides of that mower deck. One side is bolted with just a washers clearance leaving the side in the pic with a 1” gap. So if I make up 2 bushings that will give me a 1/2” spacing that should equal out the deck alignment pretty good. So allowing the 1/8” thickness of the inside bracket and the 1/2” space I will make some up that are 5/8” long by 5/8” diameter. That should align the deck up pretty good. BTW my deck is a 42MS01 Steve

I was thinking about buying this C-120 and was concerned about the oil under the engine and the way the engine sounds like it is "missing" I know many of you have a lot more experience with these than I do so wanted to know if you think it is a good buy. https://www.facebook.com/share/1HaWt8zWG9/

I was gone all afternoon. Got home and headed for the shop. Much to my surprise there was a snowplow sitting in front of the small overhead door. While I was looking it over a neighbor lady came and gave me a description of the person and his truck who was here. Said she knew I wasn’t home but since he was dropping off she wasn’t too concerned. It was from a friend who felt he owed me something. Told me it was a payback. I just sold two with brackets. Now I have to scrounge some or fabricate some.

Getting up an order of 94830A130 flex top lock nuts for the differential. Fall seems like a good time to go into the transmission. Watching the tranny rebuild videos now. Dave

Personal preference is filter after the pump. no reason, just what I usually do. Now that I think of it I have a couple with the filter before the pump.

I agree the varnish finish on wooden handles lacks being desirable. Good idea and process. Thanks Will probably want to use boiled linseed oil instead of raw linseed oil? We used to coat wooden extension ladders every winter with boiled linseed oil. Boiled will dry in a day or two whereas raw may take as couple of weeks. As I understand, boiled cannot be used on food surfaces whereas raw is safe for food contact surfaces--Or, I suppose, if a fellow wants to gnaw on his hammer handle.

Wasn't aware they did a wheel specific paint. Usually good products overall. Weights? Fluid filled tires? My experience shows me... the more weight - the better. But we're on gravel rocks etc. -

Lookin good Mike. That's the shade me n BBT use. -
I had issues with 953. Very fine rust particles would clog the outlet fitting. I placed a magnet in the tank and any fine rust particles flow to that.

@ri702bill ironically most of the stuff I have changed over to , you don't even initially see, when I did the plow frame over , used a roller stool to scoot around and analyze problem function , that lets you hunt around for every stage of movement . thats where you find the problems , use the same theory to eliminate / chronic problems . w/h tractors are a gold mine for improvement , bought my c-85 new in 82 , love that thing , also have 2 other units . keep in touch , pete -
