Sad... Watch the interviews they do each year on the beaches during spring break... I'm guessing maybe 10% of our college students could locate Japan on a globe without AI assistance... -
I've told my kids I want small amounts of my ashes spread in various places: Copper Harbor, off the middle of the Mackinac Bridge, backstretch at Indy track, Claybanks County Park, Greenfield Village, Daytona Beach, Beechbend Raceway, a flowerbed at the Museum of Science and Industry, in the I-70 Eisenhower-Johnson tunnel, and possibly Mt Serrat in Spain. I'm sure I can think up some other interesting (incovient?) places as well. Not sure those plans are leagal, though. One of my sister in laws ran a funeral parlor. When I mentioned those plans, she had a surprisingly strong negative reaction.

I wonder if a laquer finish would hold up against possible gas drips and spills.

Just joining finally time to work on the $40 Suburban 551

No cover on this engine. Do you think it's a Briggs or a Techumseh? All identifying numbers would have been on the shroud. Can anyone tell what it might be? Dave -
I want to be launched into the Sun. I'm told it would be prohibitively expensive.

1054 Hydraulic Pump Return Spring

I have never not had the broken piece be so stuck in the hole that it required some effort to extract, to the point that I am totally unconcerned about that possibility. -
1054 Hydraulic Pump Return Spring
adsm08 replied to 1054 Project's topic in Implements and Attachments
This is the exact type of damage I was referring to. The "mystery hole" looks like the spring broke some time ago, the owner at the time was unable to remove the broken section of spring, and and just made a new hole. -
Missing the shift rail retainer on Suburban 551
stevasaurus replied to Dave D.'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Your trans is a 5007...not a 3007 !! Any Wheel Horse shifter will work...yours has a bend about 2 or 3" up. Contact on of our vendors for a replacement...like A to Z. One of our members may even have one and offer it here. Looking at the above picture, I would guess you are in 1st gear. -
Yep, just made my request to have my dust tilled in the garden with the roadapples. Stand guard at the gate Jay.

I seen both “bare” and finished. Bare was carefully polished using aluminum-safe polishing compound followed by an auto ceramic body coating. Finished used aluminum paint due to discolorations in the original metal.

Missing the shift rail retainer on Suburban 551
Dave D. replied to Dave D.'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Retaining screw appears to still be there. I don't see any evidence of it being welded in the past. From the parts manual it looks like it used a roll pin to hold it in. Thanks, Dave -
I just put that # in Google and came up with this site https://www.danseusa.com/products/portable-ac-generator-with-gasoline-engine-mq-multiquip-ga29r-2774220133

Could welding be a last case fix?
-
I saw a couple last week with just a bare tank. Looked pretty sharp! Not sure what process was used to get into that condition, or what (if anything) was applied to preserve it.

Very sad, many brave young men and women fought for this country ( my late father being one and his brother also) so that we and the world could remain free. That is worth remembering where I come from! -

One of our vendors Wheel Horse Parts and More sells a braring and seal kit. Another vendor K & B Horse Parts probable has a good used shifter. Or JakeKuhn sell parts on eBay. -

Later 2 pc shifters have a small bead of weld to keep the collar retained and in the proper relationship to the ball end. Something to consider as part of the long term fix.... -
I’d take the hood off.

I tell my wife that everything old will be recycled, especially one hit wonder actors attempting to resurrect their carrier. Same of these people show up on "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" or other CELBRIY anything game shows. My personal favorite is "Celebrity Jeopardy", questions are so easy even I can get them right.

1054 Hydraulic Pump Return Spring
1054 Project replied to 1054 Project's topic in Implements and Attachments
OK...I definitely have the 953 style (horseshoe shaped spring) pump on my 1054. Although there is some gouging of the head I am more concerned about the second "mystery" hole on one side of the spool valve. -

Missing the shift rail retainer on Suburban 551
rmaynard replied to Dave D.'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
It may have come off in the tranny. Take picture down into the shifter hole, and let's see what's in there. Is the dog-point set screw still there? -
Missing the shift rail retainer on Suburban 551
Dave D. posted a topic in Transmissions and transaxles
On the Suburban 551 I saved, the gear stick just comes out. Missing the shift collar. Looks to be part number 3514 maybe with a roll pin? Are these available? The 551 has a 2 piece 3007 trans. Is there a kit available for the refresh? Thanks. Dave
