squonk 41,051 #21728 Posted July 12 (edited) Made a test run on my prototype 551 air gap heat shield on a fairly warm day. No singed leg hairs and the paint held up. I'd like a little better bend in the end but I'm not metal fab guy. If I can find the right size dolly maybe I can get it a little better.

Tractorhead 9,064 #21731 Posted July 13 Firstly fixed the flat Tyre While i do this, i see the right front was also not proper filled and i increase the Pressure a little up to 0,8 Bar. but than i see the left tyre begins ti rip..🤬 Ok so far they will still be usable but 2 new tyres will be ordered soon. I don‘t trust em with heavier Load on the Trailer... 😎 T Than i fabbed me a sleeve bushing for the Steering to reduce the side gap it has. Need one more and reset the Mowerdeck to it‘s original link instead of the Chain. Than i installed the Suicidal Mower but it was not funny - zillions of Moleholes - each 2 m the belt jumps off. 3 h Sun wasn‘t enough to dry the Fields but next Rain occurs, so i decided it must go - now. I decided to give the Suicidal mower a Hydraulic Motor and check if i can better handle with the FEL. This plan was still in mind but now i give it a Try. Ok Not perfectly, i must multiple adjusting the right Angle and i have to rework the Gearratio. the high beltgear ratio consumpts too much power and it didn‘t need 7000 rpm on the Discs. it shure sounds like an Alarm - „don‘t get too close“ but on mowing task it has not enough power to stay at this rpm. have another solution prepared that reduces the ratio to 2900rpm with different Beltpulleys, what should be fine and increases the Power to mow. We will see how this turns out. At least Ed Kenells sign found it’s Way to my side door on the Shed. Thanks Ed ! 11 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sodaking27 777 #21734 Posted July 13 Had 4 of the horses out to stretch their legs today. It’s been awhile. All 4 started without any problems. Drove each one several laps around the property and parked them in the driveway so I could sweep the shed out. Went to put them away. First 3 no problem. Went to start the 416H and all I get is a click. Quick check of the fuses, battery and safety switches, wiring harness,same results. The 90 degrees weather was getting to me so I pushed it back into the shed for now. I hate wiring issues Guess I’m going to have to get the voltmeter and start tracing. Any quick thoughts on what it might be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That click (I assume solenoid) means the safety switches are working and allowing voltage to go to the solenoid. Make sure the battery is good, check your ground(s), maybe try jumper cables off your car/truck. If none of that works you might be looking at a starter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I am retired, i had to go bigger cause of the lack of free time! No strips here, just brown accents! Not much rain in the last 3 weeks. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sqrlgtr 552 #21742 Posted July 15 Sprayed some Regal Red on bottom of my cart, will wait until tomorrow and flip it over to finish it and running gears. Just barely had enough paint so hopefully can find some more in morning . 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just barely had enough paint so hopefully can find some more in morning . Keep in mind that spraying over what already has been applied can lead to issues. The instructions say "Dries tack free in 2-4 hours, to handle in 5-9 hours and fully dry in 24 hours. Primers may be top coated immediately. Apply a second coat or clear coat within 1 hour or after 48 hours." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 552 #21748 Posted July 16 Decided to go a different route while waiting on Regal Red paint, so rolled on some truck bed coating. Plan was to paint over it but it doesn’t look bad like this in my opinion. The lights make it look like there is a real dark stripe on one side of bottom of bed but doesn’t look like that in person. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
