Engine does shake quite a bit and isolators not so hot like i mentionedbefore. It will bolt to the frame and line up properly? Ive never had a wh with a cradle and isolators You could make a couple spacers like these used to mount a small base block K341 in a Charger 12 frame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking if I hook it to the top of the bar near where I'm stretching it to it will work shown in the eighth image. However, I would have to drill a hole in the top of the bar to attach the chain. It also will be very close to the gas tank when lifted as shown in the seventh image and I'm concerned whether it will damage the gas tank. Maybe I can cut off a section of the bracket where it comes near the tank? I'm also looking for a replacement idler pulley because the bearing is rusted tight. The 7-1221 tiller was designed to be lifted with a rod through the slot hitch. I used one for years on my 1976 c-series. One thing I didn't like about it was the idler setup mounted just in front of the transmission requiring you to space the running board out and use two belts. I changed things by using the later idler setup under the engine and just one belt direct to the tiller. The idler in front of the transmission was eliminated. I used a short piece of bar tock in the slot hitch to lift things. In my opinion the final result was an improvement over that style as well as the later style tillers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think at this point I'm going with the newer style mount. I'm going to need everything except the tiller itself to switch to the newer style. I'm posting a request for the parts needed in the Big Show thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,508 #2430 Posted June 6, 2019 Actually yesterday but I swapped the ags on the 418-A to the 418-C(Brian Miller’s), took the 522xi wheels and put them on the 418-A. Put the fatty ratty 24-12x12’s on the 522xi. The ags dig too much in my sandy soil. Shouldn’t get stuck now. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldann520 241 #2437 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Well, put my new battery hold down on the bomb and pulled the drive sheave.waiting on that. If that doesnt fix the belt throwing i may take a match to it. Repaired the sloppy dipstick with "steel on a stick" the maint. Guys at work gave me. We'll see what heat and vibration does. Swapped the isolators around yest. But still throwing belt. Also repacked the pto bearing. Edited June 7, 2019 by Goldann520 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,657 #2444 Posted June 8, 2019 Went down to the gravel yard this morning and picked up about a yard of sand for the chicken run. How to get it down back..... Yeah, that'll do it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,657 #2445 Posted June 8, 2019 Earlier this morning I mentioned to Trina that I'd like to have a couple areas of the yard scraped down a little bit with "her" grader. Of course, any excuse for seat time for her is just as valid as it is for most of us. Here it sits basking in the sun after she was finished. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,132 #2448 Posted June 8, 2019 Spent a 1/2 hour with a wire wheel on the grinder today. Though it's not perfect, at least not yet...it is getting there. 5 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 2,079 #2449 Posted June 8, 2019 1 hour ago, ebinmaine said: These things can happen. Did you get it back in? Well yes, yes I did. The important ones anyway. A wire got pushed up, and rubbed against one of the voltage regulator mounting bolts, shorted to ground, and burned both wires to the amp meter, and the one to the cig lighter. I replaced the amp meter wiring, and since I don't smoke and my phone was at about 75% charge I didn't bother with the cig lighter right then, I just pulled the burnt wire up out of the way and finished mowing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,833 #2450 Posted June 9, 2019 S/G looks nice Tom mine are usually full of the black brush crap that is no fun to flush out.. One of these days when I get less time I intend to do an instructional on rebuilding them. Don't like sand blasting Craig? I would have taken it allpart and blasted. Those pits marks are gonna make for some nice character even after fresh red. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
