Gregor 4,846 #9476 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I just like the look. Probably overkill. This one probably isn't the quality of some others, but it works well for m Edited February 28, 2021 by Gregor 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the seat I used on my 95 520... https://www.oleegoliq.com/michigan-seat-extra-highback-seat-black-model-v818-p-117829.htm Very nice. Good to know i just always recognized the 520s as having armrests. I doubt they will be very useful on this type of machine but they will look decent i hope. In the process of mounting it now 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jhook 849 #9478 Posted February 28, 2021 Well the seat is on, its very comfortable. Slides forwards and backwards about 8 inches with the adjustment lever. Folds up nicely on the factory seat mount, and the back folds down on the seat. Very easy direct bolt on replacement. Hopefully it holds up well. Next on the list is a mount for my 2 new rear weights 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briankd 817 #9480 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) finally got around to loading my tires on my c 120 washer fluid was on sale 1.10 a gallon . too tight to use rv antifreeze at 4 buck a gallon . took 7 1/2 gallon per tire. should be ready to pull the yard roller when it time for that . sure a big difference from plain tire /rim to fluid in them weight wise Edited February 28, 2021 by briankd 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,571 #9483 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Did some carburetor surgery. A friend of mine bought a 1267 and it had a china carb on it. Well it lasted a few hours for him and then gas started pouring out the air cleaner. If you tapped on the bowl it would be fine for a while but would start leaking again. Luckily the original Carter came with the tractor when he bought it, so he asked if I would be able to do anything with it. Here is ground zero on the original carb. An over night soak in Berrymans Chem dip cleaned it up real nice but there was a rather important part missing. The lever for the choke. Any one who knows me, knows that I like a challenge and like to fab my own parts. A small piece of scrap starts the repair. After making the hole oval and insuring that it was a tight/press fit on the shaft. A hole was added for the choke cable and a little shaping to make it look like something, I had my replacement part. After pressing the choke shaft on to my new part and peening the end of the shaft, I silver soldered the two parts together to ensure that the two parts would be one. The rebuilt Carter should last a lot longer than the China Carb did. Edited March 1, 2021 by Achto 4 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the first step I take when preparing to remove a pin. I drill a 3/16 hole down to the pin in each side of the lug and keep it full of PB for a month. After I remove the pin, I tap both holes for a grease zerk. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they are the correct holes, actually the metal shell is the same except the seat mounting holes. I am a bit skeptical about the online store, proceed with caution. If you do buy, let me know how that went, the price is great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldWorkHorse 3,045 #9500 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Worked on the 1257Heavy project today. Fab up the exhaust or most of it still need some hangers and clean up some welds but not to bad. Put couple flanges in so don't have to take it all out if somthing needs be worked on. PSA make sure to grind down sharp cut pipe edges.... my knuckle will thank you.
