The fenders came with the C-101 that I picked up Sunday. Don't worry about your fender supply, I'm thinkin' that a set of 520 fenders might look even better on it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #2956 Posted August 28, 2019 Because Zach isn’t old enough to have his own account yet...I’m posting this one for him...but it is a BIG ONE. He got to drive his GT-14 named “Blackbeard” for the very first time today—SOLO! He was so stoked! He has owned it for three full years but it has been too tired to do much for the last two years. We just finished repowering it with a monster Magnum 16 and he loves it. Just like that and he was gone to investigate the back acreage!

Cetan08 311 #2959 Posted August 28, 2019 Been a somewhat productive summer. Haven't gotten all the house chores done yet but have gotten several gt,s going. Just yesterday I finally finished the exhaust on my 416-8 with the BF Onan. Been tinkering with this off and on since last summer. Now I am jumping on my yardpro steering issues, then my 1949 Simplicity L walk behind and over the winter I am getting my C-121 back to its old glory. Picked up a new Tig welder to help with the repairs. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burnerman 758 #2963 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) The engine knocks and rattles on the old girl have been bugging me for years now. So I figured I’d see what closing the point gap would do. She got a brand new plug too. 👍 Dialed them back to 0.016 runs very smooth and a lot quieter. I know for sure now I have a loose camshaft and piston slap. Time to start hiding $$ for a rebuild. 😁😇 Edited August 28, 2019 by Burnerman 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burnerman 758 #2964 Posted August 31, 2019 I put on the parts I needed to build a new 42” RD deck for my resurrected horse. Thanks to 76c12091520h I got the new pulleys installed. A quick trip to TSC for a drive belt cause the last deck I had on was a SD and I guess they’re different. I got to mow my little yard for the first time in 5 yrs with the tractor! It’s crazy overkill for my little yard but it’s fun. I had to layout the stuff in the yard so it’s easier to mow 😂. Happy Labor Day all! Have a great weekend. Hang tight Floridians!

Achto 27,594 #2969 Posted September 1, 2019 I purchase a C-141 with a locked up engine last weekend. On Monday I filled the cylinder with ATF, on Wednesday I removed the spark plug again & was able to turn the engine over by hand. Score !!! Today my wife wanted me to smoke up some ribs, so as a side project during the 6hr cook time I thought that I would see if I could get the C-141 running. I installed a new fuel tank grommet, petcock, fuel line, fuel filter, & rebuilt the carburetor. After this was complete I left the fuel line off of the carb, installed a new battery, removed the spark plug & cranked the engine over until gas was coming out of the fuel line. This process also sprayed ATF out of the plug hole which manage to go all over the place, so there was that to clean up. Next a little clean up & reset on the points to achieve some spark, then it was time to see if it would run. The great news is that it fired right up. The bad news.... I think that some of the ATF may have worked it's way into the muffler. Soaked the left front tire with ATF & smoked out the neighborhood. It took about 15min to burn all of the ATF out of the muffler, after that the tractor ran, charged and drove very well with no smoking. Makes me wonder why this tractor was ever taken out of service & parked in the weeds to rust away. Very happy with the out come of my new tractor so far. Now it's time to eat. 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,064 #2972 Posted September 2, 2019 I got to work on the HY pump I got from Lane. I only got the pump head, which was a PU-100-B, to replace my damaged PU-100. There are some minor differences, like the location of the fluid level plug, and apparently the bore diameter for the spool valve. If I worked it and used a little swinging persuasion I could get the valve in the hole, but it was too tight and it would bind up tight. Half an hour with a drill and a brake hone and the valve now works in easy, spins by hand, but is good and tight to the bore. The odd thing is that even though the roll pin and snap ring both sit where they should the legs of both of my return springs don't seem to sit in their holes very deep, almost as if the inner face sits at a different depth. Unfortunately the fit is shallow enough that one foot always pops out, which means I need a new spring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
