Hello I'm looking for a discharge chute to suit a 30" cutting deck 3530SL02 Let me know !.

I will remember you in prayer.... first, I thank God you got to the hospital before something major happened. Praying for good care, diagnosis, and treatment.....

Mr. Domestic today: Vacuumed the whole house thoroughly using our awesome Kirby. Got four 1-gallon glass jugs (originally had apple juice in them) ready for a milk run I'll make Monday evening. (SUPER happy that a local dairy farmer decided to stop shipping their milk to the local processing plant. They are transitioning to provide raw milk, cream, butter, and cheese to the local community!) Baked two loaves of bread in cast iron loaf pans. Cleaned the kitchen, top to bottom. Got the pedestal wood stove ready to use. Cleaned up the dehumidifier we use in the house, stored it away for the winter. Got the console-style humidifier ready to use. I think that's enough for one day.......

Put a little wheel bearing or heavy grease in the groove to help hold the O-rings as you assemble it.

Hang in there, Cas. Let them take care of you and relax as much as you can. best wishes!!! Steve

Sending out a prayer for a full recovery for you.

This reminds me of my log splitter. I lent it to my son in law and told him that if I need it I’ll come get it. It’s five minutes from my house.In the meantime he can store it! One less thing on my property!
-
Wow, thanks. I’ll check that out tomorrow between football games to see if that’s the problem. I may take out the indicator module to check the circuit board, too. Nasty job.

My grandfather said to me at least 50 times while doing projects together in my youth “talk is cheap...” -- the rest has been redacted. 😁

HY 2 Hydraulic Leak
Mike'sHorseBarn replied to Mike'sHorseBarn's topic in Implements and Attachments
What is anymore. -
Getting there, but this is with no equipment in there. In my shop and have several lights (all LED tubes, now) spread around on separate switches so that I can up the brightness where needed while having basic light everywhere.

I've used Locktite 660 for some gap filling situations. So for what its worth, I asked AI to suggest a product to fill the gap around the outside of a seal in a worn bore and it suggested Locktite 660 as well. My Oliver Backhoe had a hydraulic cylinder top shaft end seal area was pitted. I embedder the seal in a thin film of JB Well. it has lasted 20+years. I seem to recall heating the part on the gas grill to burn all the oil out of the metal.

There is no easy way to get all the oil out of the charge pump, valve, hydraulic cylinder, and hoses/tubes because there is no good way to safely introduce air to replace it. The service manual assumes disassembly (which, for my money can cause more trouble that its worth). One thing I’ve used comes after as much oil as possible has been drained from the sump and the oil filter has been removed. Secure the tractor in the “nose up” position and manually exercise the hydraulic cylinder’s rod in and out while holding the control valve in the corresponding positions for lift and drop. This can force most of the oil out of the cylinder. Do this for two or three cycles or until no more oil comes out. Where does it come out? Out of the oil filter mount--so be prepared!

So I have not been feeling very well lately with my heart racing and difficulty breathing when that happens. This week has been particularly bad specially Wednesday and Thursday. Friday I decide to see doctor and as soon as he examines me he basically asks me if he should call the ambulance or if my wife will drive me. Sure enough this is what the poor woman needed now in her condition. So he states that I either already had a heart attack or am about to have one. Stubborn as I am I did not want to go in an ambulance and since my wife cannot drive a manual car I wound up calling a friend nearby to take us. Summarizing the events since then it was established that I did not have a heart attack yet but something is wrong either electrically or some type of blockage. They did find a clot in my leg which luckily has not traveled anywhere. So here I am all wired up doing all kinds of tests again. Seems like it never ends with health issues for both of us now a days. I’ll be here until Tuesday in the very least from what it looks. This may be the new normal unfortunately. Thank you to all that asked about my abrupt interruption while posting on something. From there things unfolded pretty rapidly.

There is a cement mixer that is shared between my friends & family. The ruling of it is - Who ever uses it last, has to store it until the next person needs it. My nephew currently has possession of it. I have needed it a couple times but decided to mix in a wheel barrow instead so that I did not have to store the mixer.

312-8 with a K301 engine: charging at 16 VOLTS!
Handy Don replied to Alrashid2's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
As long as there is clean electrical contact and the cable lug stays nice and snug, it’ll do just fine. Good on-the-fly remediation! -

Rj58 winter project
Achto replied to Chrishar's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The patio tractor assumed that people bought tractors based on what color they were. As stated by @kpinnc, some were repainted in order for them to sell. They have since become a big JD collector item. One of the hardest things to find for them is the seat. With out the correct color seat it is not a correct patio. -
I picked up a 400 hour P220 that had one cylinder seize while running (lots of scrap metal inside!) for very short money to strip for parts. Already paid for itself since I needed a muffler; the rest of it is insurance and convenience: carb, coil, stator, voltage regulator, ignition system, governor parts, engine wiring, solenoids (starter and kill), starter, and PTO bits. I even got a couple of the flywheel magnets off intact.

There is a tan wire going from the ignition START terminal/wire to the dash indicator light module. That is the one that would trigger the bulb check on startup. All the low oil level lights and low oil pressure lights flash when activated on all models that have them.
-
Those old style valves work so much better than the newer squealers. Smoother, slower, and quiet. If I ever have an excuse to go back into my center console on either of my 520s, I'm gonna swap those new ones out.

704 3 speed to 8 Speed Swap
DBlackston replied to DBlackston's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
I was able to get the adapter cut on the EDM by a coworker today. It fits like a dream in the SR-64 pulley. Haven't tried it on the transmission side yet, have some more paint to clean off before I get to that. One step closer to getting the 8 speed swap completed with the additional SR-64 swap! -
Sorry, could not see anything with the new purchase under my tonneau cover. It's always been my belief that if I have to borrow a tool more than twice, this means that I need to own the tool. Well, I've relied on generous friends for this tool many times. Today I found one in my price range so I could not pass it up. Not high end, but it will make a good hobby level tool for me. With out further ado, here is a couple pics of todays score. It is used but in fair shape, and there will be some tooling to purchase but I am happy with my new tool and the price I gave for it. Can't wait to turn out some parts out on this baby.

After my dad built our future home in the late 50’s he had my two brothers and me doing concrete for what seemed like forever--probably on and off for two years. We had a mixer like this one and built sidewalks, steps, shed floors, garage aprons, and drainage culvert ends. We did get really good at building forms, judging the moisture in the sand and gravel, not spilling the wheelbarrow, getting out air pockets, edging, troweling, and putting just the right amount of “tooth” on the floated surface for safe traction. It was (and is) hard labor but quite satisfying when done well.
