Epic Trip, for a Horrible Purpose! Planned New RV turns Remorseful…
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Pullstart's topic in non tractor related discussion
Went through the pictures on the auction website. I’ll say this, the winner can’t ever say “I didn’t know XX was broke or leaked”. Those pictures really covered all the flaws. -
Yep, great traction and they look cool

Pressure washed the wheels and tires off on the 520H I been working on. Some wet shoes and a ruined pack of cigs later and waaa laaa. -
My little Stihl 250 has one on side but not on top. Above the letter I in Stihl.

Thanks so much John. I sent message. Fingers crossed. I see he hasn't logged in since March 2nd, so not sure if message will make it to him anytime soon. No hurry anyway. Thanks again!

Best way to clean the backed on looking grime off the tractor and engine?
Handy Don replied to bo dawg's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I test solvent cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first. Some brake cleaners will soften and remove some kinds of paint--especially if left to stand, which is an advantage in some situations! 😉 -

Dawn Power Wash dish soap works well. -
Appreciate any guidance, or feedback: 70's B-80?

Won't have much time to work on it till the weekend, but I did follow the guide, and get the shifter back in place with the screw. However it doesn't move. Gonna watch some of the stuff and plan to drain and clean it. These guides make it seem very doable. -

Brake clean in spray cans.... By the case. Also any one of several "color named" cleaners. Purple Power. Incredible Pink. Castrol Super Clean. Simple Green. Generic versions of them too. Also a decent spray engine degreaser can help. Air compressor is also excellent. -
Oh yea, completely understood my friend.

I "let" Trina take care of it. She uses a push mower. Claims she likes mowing but clearly is mentally unstable. (She lives with me on purpose.) For the rough section down back we picked up a wheeled string trimmer. That should be fun too. -
How do many of you clean the years of caked on grime off of the tractor and the engine with out getting water where it shouldn’t be. I normally hand clean what I can reach or see with out taring down tractor. What cleaning products is used? -
Oh absolutely..... I'm certainly NOT saying to go over the recommended change interval. What I'm saying is that if a machine gets used 5 or 10 hours a year theres no point in changing the oil annually. Ours get changed around 25 - 30 hours of use. (None of ours has a filter.)
-
out of 7 tractors I have I change 3 of them every season but their the most used during the summers. No matter if 100 hrs or not, if it’s dirty looking I change it. But that’s me I guess. Lol

I have two saws in my workshop to look at today. A late 1990s Jonsered 2054 Turbo 49cc, and a 2017 Echo CS490 49cc. Jonsered has a black top. Echo is mostly orange. The Jonsered has a mold line up just as your Husky. The Echo does not. This does have some logic because Husky and Jonsered are the same parent company.

Contact Jason @whtractors24 He had some originals and some repops of those covers.

What did you do today?

Many years ago, I bought an inexpensive 5x8 trailer. I used it quite a bit until about 15 years ago when it was just sitting. I recently bought a golf cart to bring camping with me, and seemed natural to get the little trailer going again. So it got 2 new tires and rims and today new LED lights and wiring with ground wires running to each light. IMG_1076.mov -
New to me as well. I've never had a husky brand. I've always used the actual bar as my directional implement. You guys got me curious now.

My saws have part of the handle that is at 90 degrees from the blade. I use that as a sight.

Thanks Mikey. I was going through purchase receipts today and noticed the name of the woman’s “business” had changed on her Cash App account. New name, new scams, same deadbeat. When I sent the first money of many transactions for the deposit, Cash App did warn me that the account could be a scammer. While we talked on the phone, she was so convincing. -
Follow that line then you cut your mouth, that’s where your tree should fall. Video explanation on the way…
