By the way... in case anyone is interested... I used enerpac hydraulics... which not everyone is going to do... because enerpac costs like 2,800$

I say it costs 2,800$... that is just for the parts I used... for the whole kit... 4,900 smackers... (I have the whole kit, and with hydraulics on my tractor... I can lift and pull anything with all the extra cylinders I have...)

Drove back to our 'primary location' yesterday - @pullstart, we waved when we flew through your neighborhood - don't think you saw us, though.

 

The lawn hadn't been mowed for 2 weeks, so it was a little ragged and unruley.  Took time to mount the new set of Stens medium lift blades I got recently on the SD deck, swap the RD deck off of the tractor for the SD deck and went mowing.  Next acquisition will be a set of new blades for the RD deck.

 

Anybody out there standardize spindles between SD and RD decks so they use the same blades?

@Tractorhead What year is the El Camino ? I have new gauges for sale if your friend is interested and a new printed circuit board for the dash.

Who did you get to rebuild that S/G for you? I have one that is in need of an overhaul, one that is suspect, and two more of unknown condition because the tractors they belong to don't run. I have been looking for someone here to do them for over two years and can find nobody doing that kind of work in my area.

If it's simply a matter of clean up and replace brushes and bearings they're fairly easy to do. 

There are kits and instructions on the interwebs. 

[Dan.gerous 2,696]

Some new parts arrived in the post today

 

Hopefully that will sort out the fuel pump issue with the C125.

You might call and see if Mr. Wagner can redo if you ship them.

I find it hard to believe there isn't a Mennonite run shop in your area of Pa that does that type of work. They are all over the place up here. This is the one I use

I don’t know if you want to do it yourself but here’s a how to I stumbled across and remembered reading that you need a rebuild. It may or may not help but here you go. Video

There is one close to me in Springvale, Pa.       Probably 25 mile South of Dillsburg.   If you are interested, I will get contact info.

I think you meant Springvale that is not on many maps.  It is next to Red Lion, PA.  I understand Mundis retired and I don't know the current status, I hear it is still open.

[Stormin 9,981]

 Got the C81 and C121 aka The Black Horse to give them a run. I must try the sat nav on the Black Horse. With the bigger tyres on the rear, it can really gallop along. I'm sure it's faster than the Sears. That will do 6.3 mph.

 

 I then did a little re-arranging in the workshop.

Yeah, if there is a place closer that will do it that would be great.

 

With the current state of the logistics industry I'd rather not ship things to Indiana if I don't have to, but I will if it's my only option.

 

 

@squonk There are not as many Mennonites in my area as you might expect. And if they are here I have somehow managed to miss them for over 30 years.

  Yeah Springvale....darn twisted arthritic fingers.     I stopped in to see Bill.    He retired in 2013, but is still working and will work on SG sets.

Put some new shoes on the ole grass cutter  800 special.Found some nice ag tires at the PA WH show for a nice price.

Man let me tell you these tires were a pia to get  on with hand tools.😂

 

Everyone recommend soap and water to help get the tires on but I found wire pulling lube to work much better.I believe it’s just KY lube packaged different 😆

Try it next time changing tires ,it works like a charm !

I think The tires look good but tear up the grass on steep hills but I already was expecting that , at least I’ll look good doing it 

I also replaced the PTO clutch pad and up graded the belt to a b95 much less slap.

 

Next on list is to figure out how to put a better trans in .This one has the lighter Peerless 1400 trans in it.

Slight angle at the end of the bar design, looks like Carlisles. but maybe not

Mounted the new pump on the loader tonight  no leaks and works smooth and quiet. 

[Tuneup 1,433]

Kudos to the list. The slimy green Lucas grease has been applied to the 48" deck spindle #1 - applied in bulk with a large screwdriver to save pumping a gun for 20 minutes. Add the zerk - No! Won't start. Here on the list, it was said that zerks are always 1/4 - 28 and this deck was missing two of them. Neighborhood Ace had it (not @Home Crappo), though the youngster didn't know what the heck a zerk was. "It's that nipple that gets the gun" - "oh, grease fitting". Took all of 10 minutes to apply all three zerks to the spindles. I'll have these new silent running spindles done tomorrow after spraying the Rustoleum truck bed liner on the underside. It's getting closer!

I always wondered if that was a good idea, or if it left too rough of a surface. I have several decks I could spray.

I really like the black rim with the red hub. That looks nice.

I think you’d find that jacking up the lug nuts and rolling another tractor in place would be easier than swapping that trans.  I think the frame is completely different.  It sure looks nice with those Carlisles though!
