Cool build. I really like it.

This made me chuckle. "Lowers his WH then adds flag so people can see him" 

Looking good man 

Thanks and since you put it that way. 😂. 
I don’t have the lights wired up yet  and that’ll make me more visible on the street.

I am going to add holders on the rear so I can add flags easy when I want. 
My current flag holder is a piece of 3/4” pex tubing zip tied to the hitch. Lol

I found this sign cleaning out the garage. I found it in my father in laws shed during the clean out. It had been painted over pretty thick. 
I cleaned it up on the sander at work today and it looked cool. I thinks it’s fitting. 😁

Yup looks right at home.

Totally diggin this!!!

[Burnerman 758]

Does anyone know if this pump is rebuild able?

I can’t find anything online on it. It’s off a 64 K181.

@Burnerman... does this help?

It certainly is rebuildable, but you'll have to get a hold of @buckrancher for the diaphragm that's needed for the rebuild.

[Handy Don 12,217]

There are other sources, though I cannot speak to quality as I haven't compared them side-by-side.

I got a kit from the jungle site like this and it's working just fine.

 

You can search this site nicely by putting something like: "fuel pump" rebuild in the search bar (yes, use the quotes)

 

Among a bunch of posts, you'll find this one and this one by me which mention why the diaphragm might seem too large but it isn't. Also, give the one-way valves a careful cleaning without removing them.

Thank you! I haven’t had the balls to take it apart. I know the diaphragm is totally different then the cam driven ones. 
Thanks for the link. I’ll order one up as soon as I can convince the wife how necessary it is. 😁

I PMd him thanks

@Handy Don those pumps use a different diaphragm. I’ve used those kits before. 

[Burnerman 758]

Ok so I found out that the folks at Wheelhorse parts and more have the correct diaphragms. They’re not listed on their site so contact them if you’d like to rebuild one of the old Kohler pulse pumps. 
The diaphragm I needed is circled in red. The one circled in green is for the mechanical pumps. Specifically the plastic ones.

Got some time to work on the tool tray. Still unsure about fenders. 🤔

Call the people at Then and Now, they can fix you up with the fuel pump parts.  https://www.then-now-auto.com/kohler-fuel-pumps-2/

got my little barn find wagon. I wanna paint it to match but the factory stencil is so cool.

I would hate to get caught in one of the wheels and looks like you need a cup holder.

[Burnerman 758]

The coozie is Velcroed to the hood. 😁

I got into one of those tires during driveline testing and my seat pan wasn’t secure. Lol had a nice raspberry on my thigh. 
I might finish the fenders over the winter.

I’m not sure if @Vinylguy could digitize them with a good square picture?

I am home all winter so if I had a large resolution straight on image to work with I would certainly see if I could make a paint mask stencil so you could paint the logo back on your wagon

@Vinylguy Sweet. I’ll PM you!

Been busy. Since I picked up a barnfind Snapper with a bagger I can get the 520 ready for winter early. I’m reskinning the plow. Got some rust thru behind the cutting edge.
I’ve also got to reseal the intake on the Onan. I had an aftermarket carb on it that ran pretty good while I rebuilt the stocker. I swapped the stock back on recently and I think my gaskets are leaking. Got to clean up the big deck up for storage.
