Very nice, John!

Hope to get some seat time, if it doesn't rain.

Today, I got the K341 home from having it rebuilt. Might get it dropped in the 1200 this weekend...After installing the new clutch spring, and steel ISO mounts. :beerchug:







Also got my 2165 going, and got to mow with it...after MANY calls to my buddy who works at the dealer! :beerchug: :biggrin2:


Really like this machine! :ThumbsUp:

Cool deal, Conner! My wife loves her 2130, it's a mowing machine.

Tonight the 1712 came back to life!

I fired up the engine, checked the iginition with my timing light, set the idle and high speed RPMs with my STIHL digital tach, then I let it idle for 5 minutes, and immediatly drained the oil... After sitting for a few minutes, a tilt of the catch pan showed that I 'did the right thing'-metal flecks!

I refilled with fresh NAP-o-line 30wt non-detergent, fired it up again, fiddled with carb settings again. I'm letting it sit overnight to cool, and then I'll retorque the head bolts.

Conner and Bill

Awesome news in the engine department!

That's awesome, Bill!

Spent a few hours on the 149 yesterday.
Got all the mowing done.

Then it was time for a much needed bath. I had got into a little mud and was just hosing it off. The Daughter grabbed a bucket & brush and give it a good scrubbing :biggrin2: It needed it.

Worked on the 71 to fix a broken teaser spring on the clutch.After looking at I replaced the disc and the plates with it right on the tractor.The drive shaft and t.o. bearing were good so It left them be.
