1965 L-155 Lawn Ranger "Refresh"
Easton Rich replied to Easton Rich's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Here I took off the battery tray off to clean it up. Dawn Powerwash and a scrub brush works wonders on grease and grime. I need your opinion on should I paint it or not? -
1986 F250 I bought five years ago. Here's the thread: No injection on this one. It currently has a one barrel. The thread has a post describing my list of high performance parts to be installed.

What particularity of Ferd you got there? The 80s EFI systems aren't difficult to understand, but can be cantankerous until you do, particularly the TFI ignition.

I remember the mystery of the green plastic. Looks great! -

Next, I removed the head and cleaned it up. First I used a wire wheel, then used 400 grit on the mounting surface, and finally stepped my way down to 1000. I painted it with a high temp metallic silver that I had kicking around. -
Last night, we realized that we were both pretty much whupped and not completely ready for our trip to our Michigan location for the summer. We declared that today would be a minimal work day. Sleep in, double check our packing list, finish up a lot of small tasks, etc. It is good to be retired - you can do things like this. I did get some seat time on the GC1720, using the FEL to put the propane grill back up on what is left of the deck. We will get the truck loaded and hit the road tomorrow. @Pullstart, we'll wave when we fly through your neighborhood. Still got those wheels and hubs we talked about last year? I'll have to see about making a visit in the next couple three weeks if you do.

Had the Kennell clan here for breakfast. Coffee, 3 doz eggs to order, home fries, bacon, ham, sausage, scrapple, toast, and Mrs. Ks blueberry French toast casserole and maple syrup. Sorry, no pics...I was too busy cooking and eating.

Fair amount of various things done. Got the '86 Ford Partially de-buried. Huge plus. I'm lookin forward to seeing this run & drive again. Hopefully it all works out without much drama.

Took the dogs, and the kids, for a nice walk. It's about 3 miles round trip.

After mowing this morning did some maintenance on 654. Have had to tighten left rear hub set bolt a few times- seems to keep coming loose. Gave it a much needed wash too. We've had so much rain & my back yard is really wet. I usually dont take off the wheel weights & 100lbs that I put on hitch for winter plowing. Decided to take all the weight off to help from making ruts in grass. Of course it would help if I lost some weight too! Its not much of a looker with its crappy paint job but its really a good working tractor. -

Absolutely not. Sometimes she has a camera handy but not often at home. Seriously though... My physical health issues prevent me from being in go mode all day. Anyone who knows Trina personally can vouch. She has incredible energy. More than anyone I've ever seen. She just goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes and goes..... -

After I pulled the engine, I tore into the new one. Its off of a 656, so that means its an HH60. It looks pretty good on the inside, but I'll still be re-ringing and resealing it. -

Here is my 65' Lawn Ranger we named "Randy". Last July at a show it quit. I figured out the intake valve was stuck shut. I've previously made some posts about it, but never really in-depth ones. Here I will take a HH60 Tecumseh of a 656, rebuild it, paint it, and refresh the tractor. Here are some before and after photos before I pulled it apart. It still needs cleaned, but this will be a progressive thread. -
Getting last of the pool sand removed on a rather warm and muggy day. Gonna enlist my neighbor and his tiller once it's cleared. Would like to have tested out the "new to me" C-160 today but I decided to wait on my hydraulic filter to arrive to complete its initial service.

What did you do today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Mickwhitt's topic in non tractor related discussion
I dunno @ebinmaine….or a lot of caution. If it was me I wouldn’t provoke someone who could split you in half using the coil like a lightsaber….😄 -

Yep, I think I've mentioned that a few times on here. First one I've been able to find that is relatively unmolested and priced in my range.
