Pullstart 62,906 #9427 Posted February 24, 2021 Tractor Ride nap! The sugar snow is wet and heavy and the 1/2 mile long trail in the field that I plowed last week is drifted shut. We tore up the yard for an hour and now she’s sleeping to the simple idle of the Wisconsin AEN. 5 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily i push all my snow from yard and driveway down a 6 foot tall retaining wall at the end of the driveway. Its very enjoyable pushing a huge pile down it, as soon as the blade goes over the edge its all gone then back up and grab some more😂 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a thought, make sure everything is ready for spring, Then look at last year and think, was there anything I wanted to build attachment wise, or even alter a bit! A cab for the beast, A air rator to get the air deeper into the lawn? Start on next years wood pile? Make sure the deck blades are good and sharp, I saw here that someone added mulcher blades on top of the regular cutting blades to aid in a better and cleaner cut. Invent something that wheel horse never thought of during there years of business? Hmmm look for another wheel horse to build, ops better ask the wife 1st on that one heheheheh, if she objects you say but it was ment for her heheheheh. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured I did enough damage and she would soon be waking up. Parked out of the wind and she slept another 40 minutes sitting there! Her mother (my sister in law) was “due” to deliver her little sister yesterday, so she’s all kinds of rambunctious when she’s moving... but I’m the only person who can get her to nap regularly. I took advantage of the passing time and recorded an ASMR video. Rhythms and noises, some visuals, repeat. 1 5 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELP!!! ;--) There is a way to fix that, you smooth it off and drill a hole to go to the later style nipple. Maybe someone will remember the thread.

The GT-14's have a nipple molded in, so you have to cut it off and smooth it flat, then drill a hole for the grommet. I know there is a thread somewhere here on it, but I can't find it!!

I re-installed my re-built carborator, and then proceeded to break the nipple of the fuel tank trying to get the fuel line back on. I need a Fuel Tank for a GT14!!! HELP!!! ;--) Like others stated though. Cut the nipple off from the gas tank. Sand it down so that the surface is good & flush. Drill the hole out to 33/64" and install a grommet and valve set up. Problem solved without purchasing a new tank. https://www.amazon.com/Grommet-Generators-Craftsman-Coleman-Generac/dp/B07HR6K547/ref=asc_df_B07HR6K547/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309760559241&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6749014850818010037&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019452&hvtargid=pla-653703807007&psc=1 You can also find these parts at a local shop, many companies used this set up.
