Those are usually called 36" decks (the cutting width). All of them I have seen had a 3" roller on the front. It may have been a user improvement. On my 3-blade decks, I've gotten in the habit of putting cheap 6" ball bearing mower wheels on a long 1/2 inch bolt. Rolls over tree roots and such better than the little rollers, and I don't cut real short anyway.

Hoping to pick up a mighty Mac chipper shredder attachment to use this fall. Local to CT but can travel around the area if you’re close. Thanks

Deck roller needed. Not finding one like was on there. It is 4+" high and my other tractor (and replacements) has 3" high. Both 1/2". No part number, no deck number. Tractor is 310-8. Deck is 37" OUTSIDE, 3 spindle, only 1 roller it's in front, 2 wheels in rear. And is pretty beat but has new paint lol. Got a part # ? Is it supposed to be 4"?

Curious: Service Life of a Spindle Belt
ri702bill replied to hotajax's topic in Implements and Attachments
Neither. Belts tend to fatigue when left under tension on the diameter of the pulley(s). That is why I release the spring loaded idler on my Ariens walkbehind SnoThro in the off season AND after every storm it is used. The belt tends to "Chunk" if left in that tight radius shape for a long time and suddenly relaxed. The deck belt unfortunately does not have an easy way to do that. I inspect the deck and PTO belt at the start of the cutting season & replace one or both if they are questionable. The old one(s) go back into the cardboard sleeve that is marked for the tractor & application. That way, there is a "spare" and a part number hanging on the wall... In the event of a duplicate, keep the better of th two & toss the other... -
I don't think my hand lapping made that much difference. Hopefully it will still run good as it did before I tore it apart, even with the cheap Chinese carb.

Rest in Peace Paul.

Valve seats are to be .037" to .045" wide, those appear to be almost double that.

Good recommendation. Better to keep the cash in your pocket. Besides, aircraft tires are high quality rubber. Probably much better than the rubber in the tractor tire industry.

The small blocks are fuel sippers and are at their best as a show cruiser.

I use the #1594 belt on my 48" deck. How long can I expect it to go? Do you guys change belts just because they've been on for X number of years, or just wait til they snap? Thanks.

probably just leftover bud lite

The driver, a young man in a Bryony suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?" The farmer looks at the man, obviously a city slicker, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?" The farmer thinks it over, it's a huge herd so he accepts the bet. The city slicker parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location. From there he feeds the data to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. Within seconds he receives an email on his Smart phone that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his phone and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the farmer and says, 'You have exactly 1,423 cows'. The farmer is astonished because the city slicker's figure is exactly correct. He says, 'OK, I'm a man of my word, take a cow.' The investment city slicker selects one of the animals and begins to walk away. 'Wait,' yells the farmer, 'Let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation.' The city slicker agrees readily. 'You are a Congressman for the U.S. Government,' says the farmer. 'Good grief!' splutters the city slicker, 'You are exactly right, tell me, how did you deduce that?' 'Easy,' says the farmer, 'give me back my dog, and I will tell you.' "No guessing required.' answered the farmer. 'You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows.

WHEEL WEiGHTS no good deed goes unpunished!

If you have good soldering skills, the 18v Dewalt batteries can be refurbished with new cells. My soldering skills suck! Out of 3 batteries, I successfully refurbed 1 - and it seemed a little sketchy. I ended up upgrading to all 20v stuff and gave all my 18v to a buddy. I happened across a store (chain) called Bomgaar's (link) while working in Minnesota. I bought most of the tools when they ran a deal for a free 5aH battery with purchase of bare tool. They also have frequent sales on 4 aH Dewalt batteries for $59. I have a few in reserve still in the package. -
Rest in Pease, Paul. Your race is won.

My thoughts exactly...

Valves removed. Valves wire brushed and cleaned up with a scotch brite pad. Engine cleaned up. Top of piston has some damage from what I assume was a foreign object at some time in it's life as the head also has matching marks. I don't think it will cause any issue and I will likely do more damage trying to repair so I will likely just leave it as is. Valve lapping compounds used mainly because I have it here. Valve lapping compound applied to valve. Valve inserted and lapping tool applied. Valves were both lapped in using the three compounds in order of medium fine to very fine. Valves after lapping. Valve seats after lapping. Valve stems got a thin coat of grease then valves were installed and keepers held in position with grease and valves fully installed. Intake valve clearance checked to be 0.008 to 0.010 using this step feeler gauge. The thinner part slid in easily but the 0.010 part was a tight push so intake valve clearance was perfect. Exhaust valve clearance checked to be 0.017 to 0.019 using this step feeler gauge. The thinner part slid in easily but the 0.019 part was a tight push so exhaust valve clearance was perfect.

Wow ... musta tasted like crap ...

Goober Juice... I concur that the hype was much better than the product. Had Jimmy not won, would we have missed out on this?? I refer to the Trio for this... "Don't know, don't care, don't care to know".

Yes I did

A single Billy Beer can is worth between $2 and $10, while an unopened six-pack generally sells for $15 to $25. [1]

Bet the cans are highly collectables.

RIP Paul.
