Moved some stuff from the garage to the new shed today. (metal) Kinda got over ambitious. Started out ok, moved it a little for a photo shot and big surprise. Decided to pull some off to drive it. lol I put my sam on for other loads and taught him a little about driving with a light front end. Could not take a pic cuz I had to hold down the front while he drove.

Cool pics of the 782!

Nice cub pics!:beerchug:

Got the new belt on the 551 yesterday and I am going to put it to the test later this afternoon. :Salute:

I hope this works.

Great pic of your cub and load of wood!

Got a "new" engine for my 1811. Doesn't smoke, starts good, has about the same hours but better PO care, so I'm told. Came out of an 1862 that had tranny problems and fuel tank problems. My 129 found a new home so I could get this motor. I did the swap last night and it runs great, compared to the old motor :biggrin2: No smoke, no knocking, and didn't burn any oil (plus it had the flywheel guard and an air cleaner with no holes in it). Good news is now I've got a spare M18 sitting in my shop for parts should they ever be needed. Anywho, here's a pic of the new motor next to the old one. The new is the dirtier one :biggrin2: In this pic, I hadn't wiped it down or anything else. After I took it, I removed the shrouds and found a surprisingly clean motor. This had been sitting for about a year so that accounts for the dirt...I guess :bigthink:

Sugaring with a 1711
 

Spent most of today running sugaring tubing with the 1711. We have over a foot of snow in the woods but with the help of a mini dozer I built a few years ago and the 1711 I was able to plow a road down back and start setting up for the next sap run. Will be using the 1711 to haul sap as well.

Like to see some pics of the mini dozer. So when do you guys start sapping? Certain day/month or certain temps? (I have no clue, so I'm asking just because, :biggrin2:).

Glad you found a nice engine!
