Yep and and all the NAPA counter guys like you ... hire the handicap... fun to watch... didn't you tell me how inadept your local NAPA was staffed your self included? I will not go to NAPA for diddly squat after the $27 for a $8 Briggs oil filter ... they are done. Correct sir ... but see above ... and TSC says they have it but don't .. there's some gas and hours off my life I'll never get back. I mistakenly put my trust in what they knew Mike. That and they had the correct Part no. listed. Obviously they didn't have the correct part number to the required part ... OK it happens in this computerized day. Really C? This actually was a good bigger sized GT in the day. Parts now forget it tho. Had bells & whistles till no end ... front & rear PTOs a nice pretty leak proof HY system & power steering to boot. I just miss the old days I guess.

Struggling to properly route the 87 inch drive belt on my 417xt. The old belt broke, so I have no reference to go off of. I removed the PTO belt, the clutch bracket, and idler spring. Anyone that could take a picture of their routing or have any tips would be appreciated

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS REAR BAGGER WILL WORK ON A 1986 417A. IT LOOKS LIKE ALL PARTS A THERE - IT JUST DOES NOT COME WITH A BLOWER? I AM LOOKING MAINLY TO USE FOR FALL LEAF CLEAN UP, NOT GRASS

So, do I get extra credit for finishing early? LMAO 🤣. Had the service truck so I used the torch to heat nuts, pipe expander to save downpipe and muffler.....

I've got scars up and down both of my shins from BOTH of those nasty things....

Lots of miscellaneous stuff. Will add more descriptions later, or if you see something specific you're curious about, just ask. Just to reiterate, if someone buys both tractors, you get ALL this stuff with them for no extra charge - EXCEPT maybe the 42" SD deck and 3 spindles directly in front of it. I may still decide to rebuild that deck for my 312-A. The tins indicated belong to the 520-H, regardless of what else happens, as well as one of the mules and PTO bells/mounting hardware. This box has a KT-17 block, 2 cranks, a pair of new pistons, and a bunch of other Kohler gaskets and stuff in it. -

A 520-H hood that doesn't have any dents but needs cleanup/repaint, plus 2 fender tins. 416-H Frame with working hydro (Eaton 1100) rear and hoses. I thought it had a lift cylinder but apparently not. (I have 2 hydraulic controllers in the miscellaneous stuff to follow). 48" SD deck that needs the baffle re-shaped and welded. This was a great working deck before the baffle "incident". It has had numerous heavy-duty patches over time. Spindles and belt all good. Can't remember if I have the belt covers. -

Okay, here we go. There's probably more small stuff lurking about in the garage... oh, one thing I just remembered is a 416 steering wheel, that had the shaft split (cut in half) and re-joined using a steel sleeve. I'll get that picture soon. First, the 2 tractors. These are pretty much the main things I'd like to get some money for, but I'm not looking for top dollar, far from it. 1992 416-H, the one that I've been having trouble keeping running longer than 10-15 minutes. This has been a serious mowing worker, and I haven't done much to it since I bought it 4-5 years ago other than change the oil, filters, etc. Seat is in pretty good shape. 48" SD deck may or may not be included.... or I may include the one that needs the baffle re-welded. I'm keeping 2 out of 4 tractors so I'll probably want to keep 2 decks. The deck that really belongs with my 312-A is the 42" SD that needs a lot of work that I haven't found time to do (more on that later). The "Project" tractor I mentioned, which is a 520-H with a Kohler KT17 Series II and a custom motion pedal. It has the swept front axle. Seat has 2 small spots that have been repaired. There is a brand new wiring harness in there but not much is wired. I had been hot-wiring the starter with a wire from the solenoid to start it. It hasn't been run since last fall and I tried briefly to get it going today, but it wouldn't start. Probably need to pull the carb and clean it. There is a new set of 12.5" rear tires included, all the tins, hardware for the Tach-a-Matic, a mule and PTO bell. I think all the parts are available for the PTO engagement lever, etc. This was fun to drive around when I had it running, and it sounds great. Again, I'm pretty sure this engine was a fresh rebuild but can't guarantee that. I think I may have some more new decals for the side towers and other things. I'm the most sad to let this go - I had big plans for it but reality has set in. I'm going to save the rest of the stuff for another post after this. Ideally, I'd like to see someone buy both tractors AND take all the other stuff I'm looking to be rid of. -
Wife just told me "It hurts to sit" I immediately asked if she had tried a laxative. I am now getting the death stare.

Today was largely spent working on the trailer. The whip to connect to the vehicle got damaged and I had to replace that, along with a damaged light. I had to run all over for supplies, the wire set I got appears to have had the wires installed in incorrect positions, so there was some figuring to do, and I am still not thinking as clearly as usual. I did grab new deck belts for both of the Rm-326 decks while I was out, and we coated the underside of the one that was repaired this summer with some POR-15 I had left over from another project. I would have liked to do two full coats, but only had enough for one.

I would gladly pay for a correct screen 😜. The muffler is driving me nuts seeing it upside down. Definitely getting put in it's correct configuration 😁. Had to get other work done before I could do much more with it but, since the girlfriend is visiting new grand baby, I got plans for the evening! 🤣. Steam cleaning definitely has improved its image! Can't believe how hot water and soap can change appearance

Florida Flywheelers show; Wheelhorse Presence?
953 nut replied to FLtractor's topic in General Shows and events
If I were going I would take a garden tractor and a trailer. The grounds are huge and the flea market takes up about half of it. Here are a couple pictures of the trailer I took there a few years ago. -
Or a rod bolt broke.

One of these suitable Bumper for 856?

I’m finding this thread interesting. Many years ago my family was a good sized Ariens (along with W/H). We sold a lot of Ariens GTs (since they bought them from New Holland) and a few front PTO belt sets. So I was wondering why is getting these belts is so difficult now and I did a quick look and can see why this is such a struggle. My first thought was why not just get OEM ones, but I see that’s not possible and I’m very surprised that Ariens doesn’t offer them! Anyways, these used to come as a matched set. Like others, Ariens was famous for making their belts an odd size or different taper so you had to buy their belts. C-85

See quite a few of those "radiators" at our steam pageant.

Lots of new machinery in the “museum” area. This Make and Break engine had a waterfall cooling system (kinda like rooftop chillers) instead of the more common simple water jacket. I’ve never seen this before on engines of this era. Temp gauge showed the heated water was at around 100º F.

I want to thank you in front for trying to save my back !! Each one of your revolutions is two (maybe 3) that do not need me !! Thanks Tom !! That does look incredable Mate.

Busted cam = no valves opening = lots of compressionI Also no rattle or hitches so my vote is rod came off the crank close to the crank
-
No idea, was maybe half throttle at the time. No horseplay was involved We’ll pull the head, see what’s not connected. Maybe the cam busted??
