Come on Mike, the leaves on the trees are still green, winter is at least a three months away.     On second thought you are in Central New York, guess you better mount the snow blower too.

Here in Va some of the leaves are starting to turn and fall.Won't be long and the leaf harvest begins.

Just trying to get things done whilst I have the time and energy to do it. Retirement is 9 yrs. away!

Looks great Mike.

Love that ole Power King.

I think that is about the nicest Power King I have seen!! 

 

Those look like the same wheel weights as my VAC Case.

Trying to upload some pics of the hyd belt replacment. You have to pull the engine or trans to do it. Not a bad job. I'm bored today. TOO HOT 95 ++++

Working on converting pics to something usable. Here are a few. You have to pull off the gas tank, The panel the headlights mount in and the dash panel. Not really a hard job. I had done some painting in the process. prolly would have been a 3 hr. job with out the sprucing up. I'll have some before pics when I get them converted.

 

Hood off you can see the K321

 

 

New belt is on the pump. There is another belt in there tied off for when this one wears out. You can see the heavy tie strap and part of the other belt in the last pic.

Nice job Mike, looking good 

[squonk 41,118]

It was harder to convert all these pics than doing the job itself. after this I'm going to try to find my loader build pics and post those.

 

This is what Elvis looked like under the hood before I did any work on it.

 

 

Like I said the dash board comes off. Most of the bolts also holds the trans to the engine.

You can see how worn that belt was.

 

Engine slid away from trans

 

I cleaned up and painted the engine bay. Couldn't leave it like this! 

 

 

 

 

Replace the head gasket whilst the big block was out.

 

New belt much better.

I like the idea of keeping a spare... like a snowmobile.  How many miles from home do you get on a tank of fuel?
