I don’t have much to say about this post…

Tried that and it didn't work
-
Old rotten tires removed from rear wheels. Inside part of wheel where the tires mount are in absolutely perfect condition. Don't even need to clean up or paint this area on them. These will seal up nicely with no need for tubes (good thing as 12" tubes are costly).

C120 evolve to.. C140 Custom

Update: So it was another busy weekend. Friday/saturday/sunday: I tore apart the whole deck apart. I then replaced the bearings in the spindles, cleaned up the shaft treads, replaced the idler, welded a small patch over the largest of the holes in the deck (still need more practice on the stick welder. Its been a while since i have used anything other than the mig at work.) , tightened some loose nuts and fixed the rear wheel support rod brackets so it doesn't have so much slop in it. I even touched up the blades as I must have hit some rocks with them as they were not the best looking after about 2 hours of use. Monday, the fun day.. I started mowing the fields. About 15min into it, the engine just shut off. Puzzled, I looked it over. Finally, I found on of the original wires on the engine harness going to the coil was broken off. I did the walk of shame to the house, grabbed some tools and the connector, then I repaired the machine in the field. I then started mowing and 1.5 sections of the whole field done. I then hit a massive rock which caused the center spindle to loose tension on the blade nut and allowing the blades to spin. I figured it out after about 5 mins but the damage was already done, the threads were harmed along with the nut. So, after doing the drive of shame, I got it back to the house. I cleaned up the threads again, swapped nuts around from different spindles and all is good again. Yes the blades look horrible once more, but it will cut for now. Then I completed the sections I wanted to mow in the field. Now the whole thing is mowed as I wanted it to be and I have finally completed this project I have a total of 6 hours on the machine, and every time something breaks or becomes a problem, I correct it and hopefully make it better. Like the spindle shaft, I will machine them over the winter to redo the threads and make it all good again. Right now, it will mow the grass and hopefully I only have one more mowing. Now, back to the story, as I was leaving the fields to head home, I saw a stick on the mower deck and stopped the mower to clean it all off. I got back on and then engine would not start. it didn't spin over nothing. So, tired, I did the second walk of shame to the house, grab my son and the other tractor and towed it back home. Later, after a motorcycle ride, I dug into the issue some more. I have determined its the starter somehow. Its getting 12.5v but not spinning the motor. The starter paw clutch may be slipping as it would engage but just stay stuck and make the engine seemed to be locked up. Its super weird. So, off came the starter and I took it to work so we can see whats wrong with it. Overall, I'm pleased with the way the horse project came out. It made me feel good to use the old tractor again for some series work. Future plans are for me to replace the front steering rod bearing, front wheel bearings, and then tires. For now, it will work and become a dedicated mower for the field. -
I was at an auction yesterday and bought this... It fired right up, blower works, and it moves fine. I did some reading and i just want your opinion on how decent of a mower it is? Its a 314A. I bought it to blow snow as itll be eaiser to do my sidewalks and stuff with then my quad. I gave 230bucks for it.

Yes, you have to support the pulley, If you let the pulley hit the top bearing, you can actually drive the bottom snap rig through the groove and that will break the housing at the ring groove. Don't ask how i know!

It does use a nut to secure the pulley, sorry I didn't mention that I removed the nut and lock washer first.

Thank you! Anyone else have an opinion about those? I'm most concerned with how easily the new ones go back in. Would hate to get them out and not be able to get the new ones in, or they don't seal properly. Anyone have experience with that? Thanks! -
Congratulations to both you and your bride.
