The PO of my new to me Bolens painted the front axle and the carb drips a bit and is lifting the paint.  

 

I'd want to gather more info from others but I'd think something like catalyzed acrylic or two part urethane.  

I went with this. I sprayed some on a piece of scrap and let dry over night. I just soaked a rag with gas and set it on it for 10min. Removed the rag and tried scrubbing with a clean dry rag. No change to the paint.

Ah man, now your posting click bait too

Oh well, Was hoping to see something,  back to the Kardashian bikini pics

Sorry for the "click bait".  When I posted that I thought I might be away for a few days. We lost my wife's grandfather. 90yrs old. Due to the pandemic there was no admittance to the hospital. The family couldnt even be with him in his last moments.

My condolences to you and your family Sir.

That sucks! Sorry your loss.

I'm surprised.  Glad, but surprised.

Thank you

So sorry to hear.  No matter if someone feels like they’re ready for not, losing a loved one hurts.  I do agree that going quick must be much easier than suffering or prolonged exit plan.  A few years back we lost my wife’s first grandparent to Alzheimer’s.  Now, we are the only ones who notice a sense of dementia coming on to her other grandmother, but the rest of the family seems to be in denial.  
 

I’m glad you found that paint to work toward your goal!

I know what you mean with the Alzheimers. We lost a family member to that not to long ago. It's a terrible thing.

Thanks, I'm getting so close to a ride I can taste it.

[rjg854 11,362]

 so are we

Waiting with baited breath 

[Oldskool 6,644]

Well it's all done. The paint on the screws is still a bit wet. Other then that just have to add gas. I refrained from plowing my driveway just for the test drive.

What about building something like this? Used for moving race cars around. Would need to have some kind of fixed dolly for the other end, and this would allow you to pull / push the tractor around.

The snow will surely cure the screw paint!  Make Those Tracks! Make Those Tracks!

So excitinggg!!! 

 

Put to dollys underneath the back, make it so you can lift up the front by the mowingdeck lift on your WH.

It makes some interesting tracks going sideways. It's the only way I could get it out of the garage. It does not like the concrete. That being said it won't like ice either.
