I don't think so Randy I suggested a matching 701 for the flame and he told me I was on crack

Now listen here bozos .... I may have been a little gassy but she took the cake. I need to remind you there is no privy in an ice shack so when she has to have a bowel movement ... ain't exactly a bouquet of roses. You guys all got wives you know! I told her next time to get in the truck and head for the landing.

The real problem is...nobody is going to read 25 pages of junk to see how Dan did some of the things he does.  

   That is the problem with these large threads.  Lots of good information is lost in the junk and gone forever.  A thread like this is never going to get into the reference section.

Get no argument out of me on that Steve... hence the reveals. Is abit fun tho. 

Ok idea here fellas once all the BS has been dealt out have a mod go back and shovel poop aND delete..... if the member so desires of course. Just like the classifies. We get our jollies and rocks off and the forum gets an informational resto.

Just sayin'.  Something to think about.    Jim that is never going to happen...going back and deleting posts.  Nevermind...I just feel sorry for Dan doing a serious resto (and he is not the only one lately).  

[WHX?? 48,815]

Indeed Dino... How he got that hitch pin is some good stuff.

Once it's over and done, can the thread be edited so all the baloney can be eliminated, to make it a more meaningful one?

Didn't I just say that in post 29 Randy???

@rjg854 Yes it could, but Karl does not like to delete things and besides, it is a pain in the butt to clean that much up.  It would be better for Dan to do his whole resto and then start his thread with all of his information.  I've done this a few times in my Transmission threads for this reason.

Not sure Jim  . Probably got lost in all the gobbly-****

Understood Steve I was going to start a thread in suggestions about this dilemma  but I think you just answered it. I will shut up now you tell me too Dan and pound the snot out out of the others if they dont either you wish! 

Guessing this doesn't apply to  of other 867's tho ?????

Correct! Pics of 867’s keeps the thread on topic. Plus if Dan needs a close up pic or a measurement, those of us with intact machines can chime in.

Ain't that seat purty? 

 

 

 

Anthropomorphic beagle present.

 

 

That seat... sure isn't purty... but does look familiar. IT LOOKS IDENTICAL TO MY 800 SPECIAL SEAT. Rips and all...

 

That went bye-bye pretty quick-like.

I don't want to take up too much room in your thread, @Achto... but are you planning on doing a frame-off resto on this one?

It just makes you a connoisseur of classic music, that's all.

Not this one. Stock factory legit & no other BS.  Well as close as I can get any way.

We will have to get Karl to make a poll so people can vote on our resto projects...

Todays fun adventures. I ended up finding some kinda good news and some not so good news. I'll start with the good news. I cracked open the tranny to see how much damage the water had done.

 

Pleasantly surprised when I opened it up. As I suspected, I don't think the water has been in the transmission very long. 

 

The water did lead me to open it up though and I did find a couple of gears that I will want to replace.

 

Every thing has been degreased and is patiently waiting for some seals, a couple of bearing and a couple of gears.

 

The not so good. I pulled the head to de-carbon it and see what kind of shape the cylinder was in. Well with this amount of piston wash it would need a re-ring job at the very least.

 

Then I pulled the piston to find this nice little surprise inside of the cylinder. 

 

After taking measurements, here are the results that I came up with. The bore measures up well, less than .001" variance in the bore but the rough spot will have to be machined out. Will have to go at least .010" over to fix that issue. Measured the crank pin only to get more disappointments. The crank pin is .003" out of round. Sooo, that will have to be turned down to fit a .010 under sized rod.  I have the block stripped down and it is patiently waiting for parts and a trip to the machine shop.

 

 

A few disappointment's today but I won't let them get me down.  The build must go on.

Any idea what might have possessed somebody to do this?  I sure can't figure it out.

There was some sort of a hitch welded on there. I cut it off right after I got the tractor, had for got about the remnants until I took it apart. 

[ebinmaine 67,492]

Is it like that on the other side of the sheet metal on the other side of the tractor?

Wow that's somewhere to put a hitch it may be quite effective but on That metal may not.
