I replaced the carb on the 1650 with a new one today. When I got it there was a broken screw that holds the air cleaner base on and the PO gave me a replacement carb to replace the carb. So I finally got around to it today. He'll be here in the morning with a load of stuff from our latest trade. Hard telling what all is going to be in the boxes! I'm ready to replace the ISO mounts with some new CC mounts that is part of the trade. Once I get the ISO mounts replaced it'll be time to ge the 1650 ready for the tiller as it's patato planting time!:Woo: I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Looking forward to your pics, Duke.

No pics today he woke up sick and it looks like maybe Sat. he'll be stopping by. I hope he feels better by then.

ohhh!
 

A lot of that going on around NC these days!!!

We'll cut you some slack on the pictures :-)

I pulled the heads on the 1812 to put new head gaskets in it and redid the heads. Did some wiring work on my 128 and ordered my rebuild kit. I can't wait to sink the plow in the ground this year!

Well i bought some parts today for the 128. I got a lower debris shield for 5$ and a set of 16x6.50-12 for 25$. I think i was a good day.

Ordered rear gasket , hydro fan , shaft coupler bushing thingers , new filter. Put in an order for Bosch blue coil , new plug wire and PointSlayer Photo-Transistor Breakerless Ignition System from http://www.kirkengines.com/index.php...IgnitionSystem ....

Thanks Duke! I was thinking i would his place with nothing but not this time!

Went and picked up a good deck for my 100. Found it on Craigslist along with some other parts(driveshaft/clutch, clutch shield, hitch plate, snowblade bracket.). paid 20 for the deck and 60 for everything else. Think I did pretty good.:biggrin2:

Sounds like a good deal mharrison :ThumbsUp:

I'm with, Diz! You did very well.

Today i put my 3pt hitch, suitcase weights and bracket on the 108, hooked up the box blade and did some driveway leveling! Ill need a spring assist if i keep using this thing, but had a great time working the cub anyway.

Nice setup, the suitcase weights look cool on the front :ThumbsUp:

Nice job!

Man, work sure gets in the way of some good hobbies!

John

Thanks Diz!

John you got that right! :biggrin2:

Stopped at the local metal shop today and picked up my parts. I got a top link for my back blade made and a new top for my cap project made. The best part was that he only charged 20 bucks!!! So then tonight I worked on fitting the cap on the 108. The front is mounted and the top is ready. I just need to trim som on the back and find a way to mount it wihout drilling the fenders. So here's what I came up with today

Looks great Nick!

Thanks for the nice pics, guys!

Did quite a bit on the O today, tightened the drive belt, while I was under it I noticed the steering box was loose. So out comes the battery and steering wheel,and the dash tower. Since I had it that far I wondered how old that grease is:bigthink: so out with the steering box! Well it was 50 year old grease:biggrin2: but the box,follower pin, and bearings are perfect! Just needed is a good cleaning and new grease:beerchug: No slop in the steering now! Also figured out my carb leak,the bowl had a tiny pin hole in it, replaced it. Then I took the shifter cover off to check it out, clean oil and zero rust or water in it. It was a good day:beer2:

I got my rebuild kit in yesterday in the mail. I started to rebuild the motor out of my 128. I got alot of it done but i don't have a valve spring compressere so i can't put in the valve yet. I can't wait to fire it up for the first time!:beer2: Than a plow day with my friend!!:biggrin2:

I use a spring compressor that you can find at any auto parts store. It is designed to compress those door springs that was used in those 80's vehicles. Think they might run about $10.

Thanks Dwayne! I'll try that.

You got a pic of that thing Dwayne?

Sounds like a great day to me!

Awesome news Sam!

Yep, found a pic on google:

My grandpa said that when he had to compress a valve spring without a tool, he put a couple pieces of wire through it, then compressed the spring in a vice. When it was compressed, he would tie the wires so that they held the spring closed. Install spring, clip wires, pull out wires, done. I call it the poor mans' way.

Cheers :beerchug:

Nate

You guys have been busy!

HausFraus mend things that way, too!!!:beerchug:

Cool! Thanks Dwayne!

Expecting another inch or so of rain in about an hour, so I thought I would go ahead and get the tomato garden plowed, so it can be settling in for a couple of weeks then I can disc it. The ground was a bit wet, but the ole BRS pulled without a problem, even when the plow encountered a few tree roots.

Great pics, DWayne! BRS did a nice job!

DWayne I like both oth those pics! Looks like you had some fun! I need to start up a pool to see when your going to run out of grass to mow with all these garden beds.:biggrin2:

Where's the gravy plot at?:bigthink:

Nice looking dirt too!

Thanks Allen, the more I use it, the more I am impressed with it. :beerchug:
Well that is a part of the front yard, LOL. I still have to find a spot for the gourds and watermelon. :biggrin2: I have to find a good milk cow to support my gravy for tomatoes and breakfast. LOL
That is the first time that dirt has been turned. It should be a good spot for growing this year.

Nice job! Makes me want to get the 982 and do more plowing.:biggrin2:

NO better time than the present. :beerchug:

My garden spot is now filled with rain water. Got it done just in time.

Nice plowing _DX3_ all the dirt is turned nice and even. I think that's about the nicest plowing job i have ever seen:beerchug:
I have a great time plowing... But it don't look like that when i am done :biggrin2:

Dwayne when did you get the new truck.

Thanks Diz. The secret is to plow it a little wet :biggrin2:

Unfortunately, that's my dad's truck. The cub hauling van is at the dealership getting resuscitated. Had a few coolant leaks we could not find. It's ready to be picked up in the morning. Going from a Hemi to a V6 is a big shock, LOL. Sad part is, the MPG aren't much better on the V6, LOL.
