Sunday in the garage working on Horse's

[Rollerman 290]

First two day weekend I've had in a long time & decided to spend that extra day in the garage working on a few Horse's.

First I serviced & finished putting the 310-8/Kwik Way FEL tractor together.

I rebuilt the carb, changed the points, plug, condenser, air filter...changed the oil in the engine & trans.

New drive belt, clutch spring, checked to make sure the hub & pulleys were snug.

Hung a set of wheel weights on it & fastened a counterweight to the hitch.

Still have a few things to do yet (easy steer conversion), but pretty much ready to go to work.

 

Also brought in a clean C-85, but non running that I picked up last week for cheap.

I neglected it & let it sit outside this past week out in the back yard where it was covered in snow from Saturdays snowfall.

My Argo came in handy for dragging it around to the front of the house where I could get it in the garage & start dethawing

Checked all the fluids, changed the battery, added some fresh gas & it fired right up.

I think I'll put my weighted rear tires on it & use it this winter as my snow pusher.

C-85 is a good horse can't beat the little Kohler for buzzing around on easy to work on and is great for plowing the little 8hp seems to start easy when cold  if its dialed in good!

My C-105 is in the same category with being a "Go To" tractor. I still need to replace the fuel line that the mice/squirrels got to this past Summer. Scott's/Tom's hitch provided a nice little perch to munch away! I couldn't figure out why there appeared to be a puddle under the tractor, and why it was out of fuel!

We seem to work harder at home than we do at work . I guess because we're doing something we want to do instead of something we're forced to do........

Didn't even know that you had any horse's, thought you bought one of them there zero turns!!! Bought a new house and haven't seen the rollerman in like a coon's age! Done for the season or still rolling along the countryside??? Wished I could still handle a saw!! GLAD TO SEE THERE ARE STILL HORSES RESIDING AT THE FARM
