More mulching of leaves along the way. Rained last night, knocking , more leaves to the ground. Will have to mulch or tow the sweeper around in the near future. Gripe for today: I filled up yesterday at $1.78 per gallon. Drove by the gas station this evening and noticed the price was up to $2.15 per gallon. Anybody understand what drives these large price changes? Sure wish I did. I must have missed the dip in price, but at least you didn’t wait to fill up!

Jhook 849 #7285 Posted October 26, 2020 More progress today. Have about 45 mins after work to weld some mounting plates for the motor on the frame. Im by no means an experienced welder. Im practicing and learning as i go. They are no where near good welds but for this little engine they should hold. And if they dont, no big deal i can fix it and make it stronger as i learn more. These 3/16x3 inch flat stock will give me plenty of room to shift the engine side to side and forward and back as i fine tune it for my final installation. I am going to try my best to get it perfect and have only 4 holes rather than a slotted plate for adjustment. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,253 #7288 Posted October 26, 2020 It probably will work. I have LED lights that I added to one of my tractors and the headlight bar was polarity sensitive but the rears didn't seem to mater. The idea with the generator light is that when the generator is working the light goes out because the voltage on both sides is about equal so there is little or no electrical current flowing through the bulb. The minimal amount of current required by an LED may prevent it from going out. Give it a try and let us know how it comes out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could have done one big plate but this 3 inch flat stock was most easily accessible. Also no expert on engine swapping. Ive pulled and replaced dozens, but never one that isnt supposed to be in the machine. Going smooth so far. Good project to learn on with such a small machine and simple pullstart engine. Impressed with the new 125 welder from harbor freight though, weighs only 14 pounds and is about the size of a 6 pack! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is any continuity between either of the terminals and the housing it is wrong. This one will work. note that the lens is somewhat smaller than the original if you are a rivet counter...Cole Hersee Pilot Light PL-20-RC000-BX 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We build up kroger fuel points and on occasion they run specials of gift cards for 4 times the normal amount. when you go to the Kroger fuel price app, they give you the lowest prices in the state. If local prices are pretty close to the bottom statewide, you have at the most, a bit more than one day to cash in. So locally, they hit $1.81 and we had a dollar off a gallon. I bought the maximim of 35 gallons for $28.70 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
