Yeah, it seems like more and more we have to practice extreme diligence to avoid getting ripped off.The jungle site is getting worse, have to read the reviews and research things, and even then you may end up with a piece of junk and the hassle of trying to return it. I recently bought a 1-to-4 garden hose splitter with cutoff valves. Dang thing leaks in 2 places. We're trying to use that site less and buy from smaller businesses when possible. To your point, even if buying something in person you have to be careful and double-check. Just because it's in a sealed box doesn't guarantee anything.

My suspicion is when you arced the rush of power broke down a sheet metal to sheet metal contact point in the ground path that was somewhat corroded anyway. -

Hallelujah. My persistence paid off and all your help she runs again!! Took ground from battery to engine mount and she's alive! From the mower graveyard given new life then I killed her and brought her back to life again haha 😄 -
After 50 years of marriage, my wife's iron finally gave up the ghost. It was a good iron, made in Germany and she kept it looking new. Her former boss gifted it to her as it was on the list for things we needed. Sadly, the same company makes them in China now. More sadly when she opened the box the 100 dollar iron was not in there, but an old used iron was taking its place. Now we need to open the box at the counter before we buy stuff, I suppose. We try to avoid clothes that require ironing these days, but that iron is used primarily to make NICU {neonatal intensive Care Unit] blankets for newborn babies . There is a constant need for them as a certain number have to be discarded as not all of them can be washed. She does this at church as they cut out bolts of fabric and she brings the pieces home to sew and it takes an iron to seam them. I tested the iron and the cord had continuity, but it did not pass through to the innards of the iron. i will take it down further to investigate

No, just ground the engine. Battery + to red wire, and battery + to starter solenoid to crank.

So the folks working on my house cleaned up most of the debris from the fire. That being said there is alot of small stuff everywhere. Siding, drywall, burnt pieces of lumber, and whatever else you can imagine. Of course this makes mowing a bit of a challenge. So I bought something to drag around and pick it up. Not to mention it will help smooth some of the ruts left by heavy equipment. At least to the point they won't snag the mower deck. I'll report back how it works later this evening.

Sorry I never drove the Little Red Wagon but I did drive the original Ammon R Smith Old Reliable a few times. -
The service manual says the cylinder—which they call the shift shaft—can be removed. Unless anyone has a better suggestion, I’m planning to pull it out this weekend to take a look. Stay tuned!

Not to hijack Paul's thread. Getting ready to bench run a 220 Red lead & condenser to coil positive from pickup. Black lead to negative. Does one need to ground coil negative post to the engine block?

I think that it would hold up very well for about .0025 milliseconds, just like any other oil. It is 30 weight oil that I would use for chain lube in a chainsaw.

Is that a vinyl decal or is it a thicker plastic? I have an early 70's lawn sweeper with that style plastic name. I believe that most, if not all, trailers and carts were manufactured for Wheel Horse.

Im on a major ground check mission I got a very good clue yesterday see if it pans out! -
Years ago, I bought aftermarket ignition coils for my Arctic Cat snowmobile from Dennis Kirk. First time with the new coils they failed several miles back in the woods on a little used trail. It was getting dark and snow started falling and I was at the bottom of a steep trail with no chance of towing it out with the other sled. After exhausting all options, I banged the spark plug gaps to just a few thousandths and it fired right up. Made it to road where it completely died in the middle. We rode double on a single passenger sled and got the trailer to retrieve it. Kirk said to send them back, after which they said there is no warranty on electrical items even with the juice running out of them. Never again from those clowns.

Being a 1054 you will need to remove the transmission to get at the dog point screw. -
That matches the decal on the back of my '73 No Name. I don't recall seeing it on anything later than that. I've seen a couple listed around here for crazy money and not in nearly as good condition. Nice score!

I remember the "Little Red Wagon", was that @Ed Kennell driving it ? ? ? ? -
Cylinder head removed. Cylinder head bead blasted. Head bolts as removed. Head bolts bead blasted. Head bolts ready for paint. Head bolt washers as removed. These are not cleaned up as I have new hardened washers to install. Engine with head removed. There is very little carbon buildup or obvious wear.

Sorry everyone I just checked the message board. I had a typo it is not a 1045 it's a 1054 -

There is a member on here, @953 nut who always says, CHECK THE GROUNDS FIRST. Good advice. -
I bought a lift table from Harbor Freight years ago, one of the best tools ever made for us old codgers.
