WOW...I didn't know they still teach "Duck and Cover" in schools these days. Looks like Danny is giving it a whole new meaning though. LOL

Took some time today to do some more painting. Will have to use some elbow grease to buff out the imperfections like cotton wood and a couple small bugs and do some small paint touch ups.....But I think It's ok. added a little x-tra gloss hardener to see if I could get a little more shine out of the paint...We'll see. If I have some time in the next few days I'll maybe do some more assembly work.

Here is a picture of the Choke and Throttle unit that has the NOS nameplate (not repro) that i will be taking to the WH Show. OK, Here are 2 pictures, how does that grab you ?

Here is the vid of me performing a preesure test on the D200. I had mowed the entire yard with it earlier today then parked it for a few hours. The engine was still warm to the touch but the hard lines were ambient temp. [media=]

Alright so after a few hours of cutting, welding and grinding here is the finished (until something needs to change haha) 3 point bracket. All I need now is to make my lower links. As you can see the lift hitch still has full functionality, which it will need since that's my current plan for lifting. It's not perfect but I think it turned out pretty well. I will get a coat of primer on it then take it through a few tests. The Tiller I plan to use should do a good job of putting some stress on it to really see how well it works To those who know the hydraulics on these machines, is the current pump and lift cylinder strong enough to lift cat 0 implements? Here are some pictures from tonight

heres that service bulletin from the yahoo groups.... thanks garry... WH61-90 #391 Metric Spindle Grease Lock 36in 42in 48in.pdf

well here's "frank" cleaned up. the 50" deck is from a simplicity landlord tractor. i still need to get a starter but i'm gonna try and fire it up with the pull start. wish me luck lol.

Put it down! Your gonna hurt your back! You guys gotta quit picking up your tractors! Nice find!

Well I stayed after work today to machine some of the pieces. Finally got home and started to fit everything. So far there has only been on one minor issue. The top link supports that run down to the hitch won't be able to be welded at the top as I had planned. As it sits, there is no way to remove Pinot install the pin needed to hold those up. I plan to just bolt them to the bottom of the top link mount to solve that issue. Hope to get that done and figured out tomorrow as well d get the lower links built As for the software I use, I don't think it's terribly difficult but I've been using it for years. Its called Rhino and is really more of a product design software (I just graduated with a degree in industrial design) honestly if I had the access solid works would be my first choice Here are some progress pictures

I'll add a comment to the "best part of a Briggs" statement. Equipment with a blown INTEK can be had for a song. Once a hole gets punched in the block due to owner neglect, the item quickly hits Craigslist. Last fall I picked up a Little Wonder blower and and a pull behind Track Vac for $100 each. Both had blown Inteck 6 hp's. Both owners admitted to "someone forgot to check the oil". Another $200 for replacement engines will net me $2000 worth of lawn equipment I would otherwise not be able to justify paying for. The 3 or 4 times I will use the blower in the spring and fall will dictate an offshore clone replacement engine for $100. So in closing, a tip of my hat to those who don't do regular maintenance. Gotta go ! Time to check Craigslist for another bargain.

Oh well then shoot it. Lol!!

the local guys all know i had to talk him off the ledge once again Welcome back Jeff.

Yes I said steaks and yes they were too done but I promised yall a video. They were still juicy just a little too well done no pink in the middle. :D

I would say you need to get a smaller dog! LOL Or one that doesn't bake as many "pies"?

Thats what farmers talk about sometimes..... But , Thats ok because of all the people I've crossed paths with, farmers are some of the nicest people I've ever met... That includes tractor show folks too!

Danny and I just got back from our daily tractor ride a few minutes ago, and he did it again! While parking his tractor, I notice he has a funny look on his face, and I look down to see a huge dog pie stuck to his tire. I told him last time, if he did it again he would have to clean it himself! So without further a due, I give you Danny pulling his first shift of duty, duty. I told him to be careful while spraying it off, as it could splash back on him. So notice his position in the first picture, it wasn't until it was almost gone that he finally stood up! :ROTF: :ROTF: Matt :flags-texas:

No, but I'm all ears. :ychain:

Better than their feet.

An homage to the Allis WC? :scratchead:
