Sparky-(Admin) 21,988 #23301 Posted Sunday at 08:06 PM Tackled a bunch of smaller tasks on the 510-8 today. Charging system repaired. I don’t think the volt gage has moved in a looooong time! Check out how it isn’t faded where the needle has been sitting. Wiring cleaned up (about 96% done) All gages are working (volts, hour meter and fuel gage) although I dont know how accurate the fuel gage is yet. Steering wheel center cap glued on. Front tire resealed (leaked down in 24 hours) 3 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,595 #23303 Posted Sunday at 10:17 PM I got the mower deck back on, still need to do my Spring lube job and get a pipe elbow to reposition one of my hydraulic hoses. The hoses I got from Lowell are nice and high quality, but the one has me locked out of 2nd gear. I need to put an elbow on to raise it an inch or so. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 932 #23304 Posted Sunday at 10:58 PM (edited) Took my Ag tires and weights off and put on my 10.00" turf tires. I had to use 2" spacers because the rims have a deep offset. I may go ahead and throw the weights back on. Edited Sunday at 11:00 PM by Bar Nuthin 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, you weren't kidding how long that needle sat there like that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,329 #23308 Posted 16 hours ago (edited) The little 12 volts that operates the computer and starts the car .a hybrid had aged out and was time for replacement. When it was cold out a neighbor had borrowed the car and made an error that left a discharged battery. I could not even get in the back compartment to change it with the hatch open Plenty of onions left for a 14 magnum on a 314. All she took was post to thread converters Edited 16 hours ago by ohiofarmer 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,329 #23309 Posted 16 hours ago After a slow leak became a faster one ,this is what I found. Bias cords just pulled loose from the inside. I bought several Kendas on sale at TSC some time back and will finish it up the Good Lord willing and no pinch flats 😜 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a call to that number and sending them that picture might get you a new tire? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 1,371 #23311 Posted 8 hours ago Mounted the lift cylinder and valve on the '73. Cylinder works great but the hoses leak at most of the fittings so I put an order in with Lowell . Pulled the 165 up to the shop to dust it off for spring. Didn't change the oil in the fall like I normally do so that's on the top of the list. The 312 was next door with the neighbor aerating. I could hear it but not sure where he's off to with it. Maybe another neighbor's place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
