David81 39 #77 Posted January 26, 2015 Here is a picture of my little massey with a h70 Tec as you can see the fuel line goes through the cover on it as well ......not saying it couldn't rub a spot in the hose but if your going to put some grommets on you will probably need to drill your holes out a little bigger in the cover to get it to fit .....we use mowers for years with tec motors and never had any issue with that at all any way it would look good but last time I put a new fuel hose in it fit pretty tight so just thought I would add that little bit of info.....looks great keep up the good work . not sure if you can see the fuel line in the picture or not but it goes through the very same way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse46 519 #79 Posted January 26, 2015 You know James he may be right, I was thinking whenever I ran wires through holes I always used a grommet, but with the fuel line being rubber already? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jparkes43 329 #80 Posted January 29, 2015 well not much to speak of but at least there is some!! the stickers arrived thanks Mark (meadowfield) and the 227-5 (tad of topic but related) has some new ones on too. but the ranger has the dash sticker put on with the throttle, ignition and some blanking pad put on. i need to order a choke cable!! the serial number has now been uncovered. cant wait to get all the other jobs done so that some more progress can happen! thanks james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jparkes43 329 #84 Posted March 7, 2015 Hello guys, sorry for my recent absence, but i have been waiting for my days to be free. so here i am back with some news, i have 4 new tyres and 4 new inner tube for my lawn ranger. the rear tyres are in the back of my car and i am taking them of with the tyre machine later on today so expect an update late today early tomorrow if all goes well. not much in terms of progress but a huge step forward because now i have some parts to make it a rolling chassis after i sandblast at school.

Jparkes43 329 #85 Posted March 7, 2015 Guys as promised, another update the tyres are off. a tyre machine to break the bead and then some elbow grease with some leavers because out machine didn't go small enough and eventually it came off after some tyre cutting then i got two new rubber air inserts with valves and caps now to get in with the sand blasting and painting etc ten ready to make it a roller again.

Jparkes43 329 #86 Posted March 9, 2015 it was such a shame that today there was a lesson on when i wanted to use the sand blaster so only one half of one split wheel. but at least that is done, and i got the two tubes in the two front tyres so i can test fit them. james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
