With or without the big show? That’s 650 miles each way, five or take. 2018 and 2019 I brought home at least 3 more than I came with. Otherwise, probably Uncle Jim’s in WI... but went for other reasons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregor 4,846 #8954 Posted January 30, 2021 Someone tell me again, when and where is the "big show". All I know for sure is a fairgrounds some place, the Friday after Fathers Day. I need to Mapquest it. Thanks Greg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's put it this way " Eric would just as soon Trina did that tractor". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I'll do is open/rebuild/close transmission. Maybe a little assembly. No wiring. No cables. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Thunder Channel 178 #8962 Posted January 30, 2021 Round two of the tire challenge is coming up shortly. I have my slightly disfigured triangle of a replacement tire and the HF mini tire changer arrived. Hoping this round goes smoother. If not.... It's tube time. Anyone have a standard tube size / part number available? I couldn't find one in my search with the correct valve stem. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently ok as the shop was able to mount it in two shakes of a lambs tail. Good luck! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the possible exception that I might run the shut-off switch up to the dash instead of leaving it on the engine. Rope or drill start.

Tuneup 1,433 #8967 Posted January 30, 2021 Very nice! I used Shoo Goo on the 120 and the 125. It's been a year. No issues. The brakes are too sensitive. Makes one want to squirt just a little oil on them - almost. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #8968 Posted January 30, 2021 Big thanks to Triple Jack in Sharpsburg and a 225 mile roundtrip right through Atlanta town, I was able to secure a very nice 520H so I have both the 48" deck AND the 1100 trans I've always wanted. The hydraulic lift is just a nice add - the front ags are sweet and will go onto the 125 ASAP. I'll strip it in the summer for a full restore. The 20 has to come apart for cylinder inspection but Jack says it will run. Everything appears to be there and I didn't even have to leave Georgia to get it! P216 gets its other head done today so might have it running next weekend. I actually have a couple pics! The old Ranger made it home with plenty of downshifting into the mountains. The old girl worked hard and burned about 3/4 of a tank. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
