Runs good I guess I’ve never had one of these motors till now. I don’t have a comparable good running motor, but this one seems fine. My plan is to strip and repaint and replace broken and worn parts this winter. I get I shot of smoke about every 10 min when mowing out of the grill. I just figured the valves are probably getting a little rough. It also uses a little oil.

Thanks for the pics, guys! That snowblower on the Gravely, was that built directly inside the town square of Osha, Wisconsin?

I have a 1985 314 A. Does anyone know if a rebuild kit is available some for the engine?

More explanation is probably helpful. My idea is to run this up the side and staple it in place, a little glue near the cuts to make a better seal of course. I’ll run aluminum sheet along the walls and over the rubber. In my mind, it’s like building a shower pan. I don’t intend for it to be water proof, but withstand a strategic wash if needed.

July 14, 1968, Atlanta Braves slugger Henry “Hank” Aaron hits the 500th home run of his career in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Henry Aaron was born February 5, 1934, in Mobile, Alabama. The third of eight children, Aaron was a star football player, third baseman and outfielder in high school, and signed with the ***** League’s Mobile Black Bears while still a teenager. He joined the Indianapolis Clowns in 1952 at age 18 and helped them win the ***** League World Series. The next year, his contract was sold to the Milwaukee Braves of the National League. On April 13, 1954, Aaron became the last former ***** League player to make his debut in the major leagues.

@Fj40z more pics of mochine would be helpful in seeing what your have or have not"s are. If you are missing the lift handle, rock shaft, etc. you may be better off purchasing a whole parts mochine... -

At Home sandblasting?
Brockport Bill replied to Natejc_98's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I do a few rehab projects with grandsons each year...mostly decks, seat pans, few footrests, an occasional plow blade, etc.....some need more rust cleaning than others..if not very severe rust or pitting, then grinder, wire wheel, scaler etc often get job done. However, I did do some consideration couple years ago to buy blaster....Instead, I use a nearby fairly priced professional sand blaster who has done various projects for me... Every one of us has different considerations, but for me I'd rather have him deal with all the downside issues of doing the blasting than me. .... I'm happy dropping project with him and picking it up few days later. No $ cost for me to buy and maintain equipment, buy media, no mess, no labor, no sweating, no clean up, no health considerations, etc....and great perfectly finished beautiful bare metal piece -

A C-160 should have came with a manual lift bar and mid mount rockshaft for a lift cable. -
Guys from NJ that were at the BS came to it! It was a good show aside from the rain. Daytime was really sunny, hot & humid. Ate good that's fer sure! My main man Jacob @jeremi3210's boy up to his usual antics. A old bhind cultivator with a tecky snow blower repo. He even took his contraption in the parade and a couple of blocks down to A&W.

Thanks for the info @WHX?? and @AlexR Those pics help a lot. I can see where a clevis hitch or a slot hitches would fit around the drawbar. I guess I would have to come up with my own lift system or maybe a manual lift if there is such a thing? -
Saw our oldest son yesterday. He mentioned that the Big Boy is scheduled to pass through Hobart Indiana in the near future not too far from his house. Hope he gets a picture or two when it does.

I've got similar footage of the Challanger rolling through Sedalia a number of years ago. We are in our Mo. base of operation tonight. Got our Finnish guests off on their way home from O'Hara yesterday. One piece of me is glad to see them off, 'cause they were ready, but another side of me is a bit sad to see them go. Good time was had by all. We've driven about 3,000 miles in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Still have another 700 miles to go to get back to our Michigan location next week.

Others might be able to tell you for sure but it looks like you need a rockshaft to me I made one of my sleeve hitches. Even making it back around 2018 I think it cost me around $60-70 in material to make one. I also didn't need the rockshaft. Like mentioned you can get everything from wheelhorsepartsandmore. It's not really that easy to get the setup used for cheaper, because not that many people will get rid of those parts. -

There fixed that... The HF cab works good and even with all the mods bet I ain't got 200 in it. Lots of threads here on them and like said y tube. Make your own cyclone bucket works too. I use the coal slag form TSC. Yah big thing is the air supply. 11-12 cfm @90 PSI minimum for most cabs. -
@sqrlgtr You may end up with the Onan when it's finished
