Nice looking you have there. How long have you owned it? I've owned it since August, but I restored a 1056 for my nephew. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIGHTYMO 50 #1959 Posted March 7, 2019 Made a new hitch adapter for a tow ball to tow my boat trailer out of an old piece of bed frame. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but have any of ya'll ever thought about making attachments? I've got this crazy idea to build a log splitter that runs off the PTO much like the tiller does 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy I'm gettin them from said he got them to fire about a year and a half ago but never really messed with them after that. And also they should run cuz they have briggs motors...not ford motors. Otherwise I'd be gettin them off the side of the road lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but the mower decks are palletized and covered with snow. Maybe next weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1972 Posted March 10, 2019 Eric you’re gonna have to tell them to turn off the snowmaking machine! It’s still beautiful though to see the winter wonderland. I don’t want to tell you it’s 67° here today! I got the horses out of the stall today and gave em some sunshine! 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,590 #1973 Posted March 11, 2019 Ended up with about 5" of heavy snow today. Went around the yard with the snowblower first and scraped the driveway with the cinnamon horse. 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,905 #1974 Posted March 12, 2019 Last night I put an air cleaner on my new 10/1276, then realized the fuel system is just not capable of priming itself after a couple days. Pulled it off, started it up and drove it forward/backward about 10’. It’s landlocked in the back barn for now, but slightly promising. Then I pulled Putt Putt in. It was HardStart, then NoStart. Not even PullStart could pull start it! I went to the normal things. Plug is soaked. Cleaned the points then set the gap to .020”. I didn’t check, but the gap was closer to 5 or 8 thousandths by the look of it. I gapped the plug to .025”, used a torch to clean off the plug, sanded the electrode, used the torch to clean out the cylinder, reassembled for still a wet plug. There was plenty of spark. Obviously there’s plenty of fuel! I stopped this morning and picked up a new plug. Champion was all they had in stock, so that’s what I settled for. A few pulls, some heavy smoke, then kaboom we’re Putt Putt-in’ again! Tink Tink Tink 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #1975 Posted March 15, 2019 Mud season is here. Time to swap out turfs and chains for AGs on the L-107. Switched her to Studs and Lugs a couple years ago . Change over is almost as fast as a NASCAR pit stop. So much easier!!!! 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
