It was missing all the parts to hook up the throttle cable to the governor. I have a old parts tractor out back and was able to steal the parts from it. Found out the throttle cable has been shortened at some point in its life. I will need to find a new one. I also found the choke cable I had stashed away (amazing how parts just seem to disappear when you need them). Unfortunately it's missing the nut for the back side. Back to the drawing board. A certain 7 year old will be happy once it's all done. Great to see another youngster loving these old tractors! My son is more into the tractors than I am. lol 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,508 #1732 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Put my “rusty parts” I got from @953 nut on the 953. Trying to keep this one mostly original. Richard was kind enough to swap me some original parts for my painted parts. My brother n law toted them up and met him close to his hometown. Going to look great in it’s original skin tones.👍 Edited January 8, 2019 by 19richie66 4 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going to look great in it’s original skin tones.👍 Glad I could be of some help. I was about to strip them down to bare metal as the 953 they came from is being restored. When Richie posted his conundrum of a half painted, half patinaed 953 it was a no brainer,they belonged on his horse. Those are some high mileage parts. They cam off the 963 I bought from today's Birthday Boy, @Ed Kennell, that was hauled from PA to NC by Van @Wheel-N-It and then picked up by @19richie66's brother-in-law Chris and on to Florida!

Now, if you want the original organic free range moss Jim, here's the recipe. Just drag it out to Western Maryland and place it in a drainage ditch. I have the GPS lat. and long. Then return 21 years later and pluck it out of the ditch with an excavator. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A light coating of sour cream or yogurt, sprinkle some fine moss shavings over it followed by a several days in the shade will do the trick. At least that worked on some new stones added to an old moss covered stone fence. So long as a bear or other critter doesn't lick it off you will have moss. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You serious Richard or you pulling our leg??? Is ther a certain species of moss or does it have to be Ed's organic free range hybrid? Anything on the north side of trees work? Does the base coat of sour cream change the original patina? Does it grow that fast you have to it? I got a 604 hood that...never mind your 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No cream or yogurt in my fridge, so I used Coors Lite mixed with moss in a blender to start moss on my brick walk. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cetan08 311 #1749 Posted January 9, 2019 Finished the upper half of my Onan BF MS yesterday and was surprised that it fired right up after just a few cranks. Had it sitting on the bench so couldn't do to much tuning. To busy holding it still. Took it over and put it on the 416-8. Originally the got had a Kohler single 16 but used it on my D-160 so it would be factory. This will have all my horses back in action. Just need to build the exhaust, do the wiring and bolt everything down tight. Around 50 outside yesterday so got a lot done. No heat in my garage and temps dropping hard today so going to be a while before I get back at it. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
