Tach-a-matic 357 #10012 Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Attached a wall base strip to reduce blowup New Ammeter Went for a test drive to adjust the carb, test the new PTO clutch, belts and the throttle would not stay in position for long so drilled hole through the rivet and sex bolted it tight to increase friction She's just about done until I can do some mowing (~3 weeks out). If all goes well (engine and trans work under heat and a good load) next is some Firestone Tri-Ribs like on this Ariens to make the steering (a lot!) easier and raise the front a little for more cut height (and they're 40 yrs old anyway!)

Tuneup 1,433 #10016 Posted March 27, 2021 Went to Wally World and bought a couple of quarts of Mobil 1 15W-50 for the Eaton 7. Time for that oil change, but tomorrow. Connected the 516 PTO to the 520H trans - bought it non-running. Is the trans good? It marked the concrete nicely and the lift is operational so that's fun. 520H back to the shed and played at blowing Bermuda dirt around the yard with the 516 for a while. Moved the 48" shell to the other end of the garage. The HF welder sits on the bench awaiting my first training session. When I'm good enough, the deck gets the treatment. A good day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldWorkHorse 3,045 #10023 Posted March 27, 2021 Thank you all, it's a labor of love lol. It would have been more rugged but my auto dimming welding helmet decided it didn't wanna work anymore and almost blinded me half way though a weld! So grabbed my broken strap 1 and finished the weld till another day. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the short story is a friend of mine started RS as a high school project to set up a website/forum. He asked me to join so I did, that’s how I became the second member. My friend Chris @whchris has not been on this site in years, but he was member #1 although his profile shows his member number up in the 5000 plus range. 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyquil junkie 225 #10025 Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) What did we do to it today... we got it dirty. It was a nice day to attack a compost pile. This thing saves a lot of digging... I shoulda bought one 20 yrs ago. We spread a good layer of compost on the garden. Beds filled and ready for veggies. Fun fun fun. It fits in all the places our skid steer can't go.
