    Onan P220 oil filter gasket

    With the filter installed, spray it and the grommet with windex. Spray as many times as needed until it's on. Windex will make both parts slick but evaporates and won't harm anything. Also works well for decals and bike grips...

    Washing the shop rags

    I buy $5 packs of microfiber towels at Horror Fright, and wash them when I get a big pile dirty. If they get really nasty they go in the trash. They're cheap enough to be semi- reusable.

  7. FWIW — I had my mitral and aortic valves replaced 28 years ago. My surgery was NOT “minimally invasive”; 6-8 inch opening in my chest which was wired back together (makes for really impressive chest x-rays). I would not be here now without that surgery; in my case my left ventricle was to the point of losing pumping efficiency due to enlargement (leaking mitral valve). I was only 46 at the time and feeling fine but on restricted activity; took 2-3 months of recovery which didn’t feel good; several trips back to the hospital for some know postoperative issues (chest congestion). My layman’s understanding was that the open thoracic surgery was a major factor in my extended recovery. Your minimally invasive procedure should lessen those. Get the valve replaced!! I went from restricted activity pre-surgery to being told by my heart doctor to get off my butt and do whatever I wanted (back to playing basketball for me).

    Cheap tiller

    Somebody made that one up using alot of D series tiller parts. An extra tine on both ends and has the extentions on the top cover. But it does look decent. It's not far from me but mine works just fine. I'm sure someone will jump on it.
  9. I'm a bit too big to comfortably drive a Surburban, which is why I sold my RJ and my 551. Your restoration makes me question my decision. It looks awesome!
  10. Pilot or crew member? Your tractor looks fantastic. Well done!
  11. My favorite Frankentractor started acting up this week. Slow to crank sometimes, and shut off unexpectedly every 15-20 mins. Crank right back up and die 5 mins later. Swapped both magnetos, since both originals "tested" within specs. Best I can tell one of them flaked out when hot. Once again purrs like a kitten (a dang big one ) now. I really love this machine. It was my first Wheel Horse and it has been awesome for 30 years!

    What’s this 520H Worth?

    You could, just be prepared to remove it when the engine stops.

    Washing the shop rags

    Excellent idea!! I had once thought about picking up a gas powered Maytag for washing shop rags.
  19. Well if you two cant digure it out Im probably of no use to ya. Coil?
  20. Yep but the condenser ... which is brand new ... is behind the flywheel. Points which is like most others is right out front. He claims he played with everything ... including himself ... to get it to run right. Did you try tea bagging?!?!?!? I have no idea Dan but gotta be a a points/ condenser thing. Just don't see how it could be magneto related. I almost think you have two problems that are making diagnosis difficult. Maybe carb/ignition ? FYI guys it had a NOVAR pointless on it before resto and ran what Dan OK??
  21. Yes it does, in fact it has a brand new set of Kohler points. Also had a brand new Kohler condenser.
  22. WHX??

    Washing the shop rags

    Just do when she ain't lookin...
  23. Crappy day out so got to work on her abit. The three piece RJ axle bushings from @wheelhorseman are always a little tight so got them honed down and the gearcase back together. Made the high level decision not to replace the axle and re-make the the pawl carriers. Bushed the wallowed out hole in the existing axle and calling it a day. This whole resto is going against my character of doing it right ... but I don't think what I am doing will take away from the value of the tractor. I'm not doing anything that is not reversible or made impossible to be done right. If this was a full blown paint might be a different story. To me that would be sacrilege tho. The plan is for this girl to get sold after this year's show circuit so let the next guy do it if he wants. Strictly a trailer queen anyway and will never get run around. I still get the joy of working on a tractor that the Ponds had their hands on. Rear wheels did come out nice with rear tear offs from the flame and the flat black . @Lane Ranger the originals were way beyond tire paint. Tubes bulging out thru side walls.

    Washing the shop rags

    Shop rags can get expensive and I don’t like to put them in my washing machine. I’ve had this cement mixer around for a while now and figured I’d put it to good use IMG_4450.mov
