I noticed the late Classics had a full foot guard and after running this Winter realized why they made the change. I made up some 6x6 plates over rubber to prevent the wonderful chemical reaction between metals!

Have a great start to the next 50 years Dan.

Happy Happy Bud! Can't wait for Portage Show for a fish fry guys so taking him out to a one horse town for fish tonight!

At first I thought @pullstart was the OP!

Happy Birthday Dan! Take a day off from getting Jim out of jams.

Happy Birthday Dan Drink Wisconsinbly and have a great day.

An early escape from work yesterday gave me some time to play on a lathe. I used this time to whip up some new drag link bolts. I made them just a bit longer so that I could use washers with them when installed. Finding Stainless jamb nuts proved to be a challenge so I just faced down some standard stainless nuts. @pullstart I used my "eyecrometer" when I made the jamb nuts. Measured them later to find out that there is only .001" difference in thickness between them. Talent or just luck?? I'll let you make the call. New ones next to the old.

Follow the Blood Trail...........I hesitated to open this. Glad it was not you that sprung a leak.

With a big Group 8D battery you can make toast!

I caught my willi in my zipper ... I went waw...

I still think the 1045 is faster than the 312-8!

That may depend on which line you blew...artery or vein. Sorry Lynn, looks like we're , but, you started this blood thing.

Battery is at least 5 years old, I suspect closer to 8 or 9. I looked for a date on it but couldn't find it. The battery I bought yesterday replaced a real cheap one. Didn't last 24 months , wouldn't hold a charge. I was looking for a much bigger problem , a broken plate makes sense. It all happened WAY too quickly. , minutes. That's why it didn't make any sense to me. Appreciate the quick replies. tp

Dear Ma: Me’n Willi waw’ eggs and pig for supper. Dear Paw: Willi waw’ that Sears and Roebuck 20 gauge for Christmas. I waw’ the 12 gauge.

Be forewarned... I know a certain Squonk that can produce some violent williwaw! For reals!

I'd had 'bout a passel o' beans the night before and been creatin' a fair amount of my own (b.) williwaw. Unfortunately I was standing in a very busy grocery store checkout line so I created quite a (c.) williwaw.

I have to wait over 50years to get this great opportunity. Now i can enjoy every fract of second, what i do.

Yes still driving the tow truck as well, The shop I work at is a full service tire shop, but we also do 24 hr towing, and starting to take on more and more mechanic work as well. I will do tire work around the shop, but I made it very clear when I started that I am a mechanic and a wrecker operator, not a tire guy. I will be on 24 hr call for the wrecker for days at a time without complaints, but I refuse to take a tire call after hours. But anyhow, today’s project was getting my tool cart cleaned out, and most everything transferred over to the new truck. I’m sure I will end up reorganizing it a thousand times before I get it how I like. Just a quick picture I got of the socket drawer, will get more pics as I get it all set up.

Phfsshhh birthday luck...

Thank you all so much for the wishes & laughs !! So far today has been just another day of burning diesel fuel for my employer, but quittin' time is just around the corner. Looking forward to some time with my friends and a good meal tonight.

yep the best 20 bucks I have spent at HF.

The williwaw that is created by the tractors falling out Craig's shed when he opens the door, will suck the fillings clean out of your teeth!

Williwaw, you always goin’ on about ‘s... Don’t you think you have enough of them??? Williwaw looked on in utter confusion, unable to grasp such nonsense...

And we're nosy.

Happy Birthday @Achto Brother from another Mother. 🎁🎂 Have a fantastic Day.

Maybe?

I was able to find the sticker, apparently it's about 51yrs out of date.

Nope! Because I don't wear a kilt not being Scottish.

That's what I was thinking ,engine needs enough idle speed to splash oil for good lubrication and cooling. Bob

Man, those wiliwaws sure can make your hoobie-doobies stand out. Nice hoobie-doobies.

I had to double check the author of the post.

Definately talent!

Keep in mind Kohler idle speed is about 1250

I had a 1990 210-H. Bought it brand new with the deck, snow plow and chains for $2000. Owned it for 20 years. Even got a Simplicity blower to work on it. I replaced the seat, charging diode and a tie rod. that's it. 200 series tractors are a lot better than people give them credit for. Wait for the grass to start growing and ask $495 for it and it will sell.

“Red Square” keeper...

Your symptoms are pointing to a bad battery. I don't believe there's a problem with the PTO, save your time, don't make work for yourself. Change the battery

Happy Birthday Don't let Jimbo the clown get you into trouble today.

Had a wet weather spring where I built my shop. We had the track-hoe dig a pit at what seemed to be the wettest point and a four foot deep trench away from it and filled them with 1 1/2"-2" crushed stone. That moved the spring away from the shop about fifty feet. Works like a charm.

Happy Birthday Dan, we are all very glad you were born!

I wouldn't be afraid of the series 1.Like Craig said.Keep the oil slightly over filled.Change it regularly,.And never mow across a slope.I have two C-175's.One with a series 1.One with a series 2.Just my opinion,but they're both a hell of a tractor.I've been mowing 5 or 6 acres here the last couple years with one.The area started out as over grown crap about 3 feet high.Went through it like nothing with a 42 inch side discharge deck. Buy it.Youll like it.

and... I've read that Achto (DAN) can too.

IIRC, the engine serial #'s ending above 300 are the Series 2 models. 175's were offered with both engines, true. I mow steep, albeit short slopes with my Series 1, no problems. Owned my machine, over 5 years, oil in it is changed early, regularly, and always over filled slightly. You never move equipment safely across a slope.

With that model if your parking brake is on and you try to put in gear it will shut down. I have the same machine

$50 The carb and starter on the engine is worth those kind of bucks! Spend a little and save it from the williwaw!

That would look cool in a Wheel Horse dont ya think

Well i had it all up and running yesterday and drove it around. Now i just got ro do the final pieces and last minute touches.

Mine may need some alterations, the treads are stripped out on my frame. Don't think that it is thick enough for a Heli coil, will figure it out though. I'll be happy to make one for you though. What's your pleasure? Stainless, grade 3, grade 5, grade 8, "unobtainium" ?

Not long that's fer sure. When you say you ordered just the end cap? Not possible the end and rod come as a matched set. The crank big end also has to get measured and see if you need to go 10 under. The whole shebang should then be plasti gaged to make sure things are copastetic.
