    Needs work, paid 250. Sat for 20 years on Military type biased tires, took 30 miles of slow driving to work the lumps out. Compressor rated at 45 cfm, max pressure 200 psi.

    How much was admittance for a practice round?
  6. The kerosene wagon was used by one of the Hutterite Colony's back in 1918. Originally horse drawn later converted to a tow hitch.

    Anyone have a starter for a k241, spec number in picture below, and a s/g bottom mount that would work on a k301?

    What did you do today?

    Worked a shift at work this morning, Then worked around the house for a while. I then visited relatives for a few hours in a weekly meeting called “Happy Hour” at my cousin Brian’s, Then picked up the basement/workshop and worked on my R/C car for a few hours. It’s a 1/5 scale Redcat Rampage that I got on my 30th birthday roughly 15 years ago. BTW that’s a roughly 4 foot diameter table.

    856 Brake question

    Yep. I had a similar experience. My 314-8 had the brake adjusted about as tight as it can be without dragging. That tractor has a smaller rear and larger front pulley and will go about 15MPH. It will slide the tires on my gravel driveway. Even so, I would never trust it to stop with more weight than the tractor by itself.
  12. Hey bud, I ended up getting new tires - the guy put the same tubes back into my new tires and they're still holding air. Maybe try a tire sealer for tubes?

    What did you do today?

    It wasn’t what I did today, but over the weekend. My wife and I took our camper about an hour away to the east end of Long Island, to Montauk,NY. We got up early Saturday morning to catch the sunrise at the lighthouse. It’s a beautiful place to camp, right on the beach! In the village of Montauk I stopped to take a picture of The Memory Motel. Yes the one The Rolling Stones sang about! As they said The Memory Motel, it’s on the ocean, I guess you know it well! Technically it’s not on the ocean, it’s probably 1000’ away 😂

    What did you do today?

    As we were starting to prepare breakfast, the well drilling crew showed up at the neighbor's place. Only problem is that the location they had marked for the well was a foot or foot and a half on my side of the property line. I pointed this out to the crew and said that we have a survey ordered. No argument from the crew - they don't want to drop as well in the wrong place. They picked a new spot and started thinking about how they were going to get their rig into position when they get the final go for the job. This story continues.......

    Belt Size?

    It's not about checking stock ... its about guys like Squonky throwing 5/16 nuts in the 1/4 bin.

    Everything listed here, prices vary
  18. Well it’s not exactly in my backyard but it is only about ten-fifteen minutes from my house. It’s the 126th playing of the US Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. I went today for one of the practice rounds that started Monday. Tomorrow official play starts. This is one of the oldest golf courses in the country and it is steeped with history. Founded in 1891, it has hosted the Open several times. It is an ultra exclusive, strictly private club except during this tournament. Figured I’d take a few pictures for those of you who like me, enjoy the game of golf. First picture is Rory Mcllroy teeing off. Last pic is my ugly mug!

    856 Brake question

    I remember one time when I was maybe 10 or 11 years old, and still pretty new to driving the tractor, I ran the front of my dad's 310 off the end of the carport because the brakes didn't work at all.
  20. miller tire. maybe not the cheapest but, rock solid.

    Belt Size?

    The plumbing section in a big box is the worst. No one maintains the stock anymore.

    Belt number for the Mule Drive on a C145A (1984)

    Click on the fuzzy picture in the link. The belts are listed on the page that comes up. May not be the exact deck you have but the belts will be the same.

    856 Brake question

    Sadly the brake is the weak part on these machines. You were correct when you said these tractors can tow much more weight than they can stop. I have always heard that an 8 speed can pull 10,000 lbs without damaging it, but I promise you that brake band won't stop it. The brake (if it works properly) stops the bull gear in the transmission. If one wheel slips, the differential will not hold the tractor from moving. Of course during "normal" use on reasonably level ground, the brake is sufficient. Most of us don't regularly adjust them until we notice it won't stop...

    856 Brake question

    Safe and reliable are relative terms. Most bicycle brakes have more stopping force relative to weight than a garden tractor. I've never relied too much on garden tractor brakes, particularly the parking brake, but they are fully mechanical linkage, so no hydraulic lines to blow out. Easy to maintain is also relative. The process of adjusting them is simple enough, it's just a nut to tighten or loosed on a threaded rod. Access is the issue, it's not in a super-easy to access spot. My hand fits fine, but there is precious little room to swing a tool. If you flip the seat pan up it should all be on the left side. The lining you linked to is just the friction material. The old would need to be removed from the band and the new glued down. @rmaynardalso sells the linings. Brian at K&B@76c12091520h will sell you a whole, ready to go band with lining.
