Nice haul Lew. I passed up one of those month or so ago. It was no where near the condition that is in.:beerchug:

You must have some good "Pick-up Lines" :biggrin2:

Nice find! Are you trying to displace Sam as the Cyclops King?:biggrin2:

you are quickly becoming the cyclops king of the tri state area, nice score

With the exception of the wasp nest, that's a nice haul Lew! :biggrin2:
Hope you didn't get bit.

Thanks guys.No time to dig into today,I will keep you posted.

Lookin good Mr. Cyclops. :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Thanks!:beerchug:

I'm wondering if Lew borrowed Cub Crazy's drone at the rate that he is hauling them in. :bigthink:

Nice find on the 1440 Lew. Those are nice grass killers. Nice and simple and dependable. :beerchug:

Okay, no drones here,maybe the bees in the tower...
Got the engine to run today,only on one cylinder,it is either the head gasket or the piston is bad,we will see during the week when I pull the motor.

Yup, I was just thinking. It's Friday and haven't' heard of Lew picking up anything this week.... Just in the nick of time:beerchug:
Congrats on yet another cyclops....:beer2:

Went to the car wash, gave it a bath before i start working on it, looks better...

Pulled of the deck,not again!!
Is this why the one cylinder has no compression?

What do upside down blades have to do with no compression? What am I missing? :bigthink:

Sam,

my 108 had upside down blades,now this one,this 1440 only runs on one cylinder, hopefully it will be a head gasket.

Hope it's a simple fix my friend. I doubt that the blades being upside down caused a problem with the engine but as I'm learning via other posts maybe it would be better if I just kept quite so I'll shut up now and go away unless summoned. :biggrin2:

It's okay Sam,all is well in yellow and white land.
Motor is out,looks like a 540 hr motor,but.....

I hate it when someone says "but"..........:bigthink:

butt on the other hand, well............:beerchug:

Yes but that one facing us is the cylinder that is dead,tomorrows project.

Hate it when a cylinder goes bad. I could get myself banned if I posted what I was going to say. Hope it turns out to be an easy fix Bud. :beerchug:

Nice find as usual, Lew. Hope it's just a valve not closing or a head gasket. Those seems to be issues with the Vanguards...

Thanks Tom

Looks like he's dead Jim...

Definitely a problem, another boat anchor...

guess this one will live on in parts

Yes or get lucky and find one that has a bad tranny,for now it will stay together.

Man that sucks the big one. :bash2:

knowing your luck you will find one this weekend

lew doesnt need a drone,the deck blades are on upside down.....

Will you be there fri,sat and sun?

Crank is toast, so is the block,PBR time :beerchug:

Lew

You know the deal, Some Days You Bite The Bear, Some Days The Bear Bites You. You got bit. :beerchug:

I have been eat'n bars for a long time then,in my Davey Crockett vernicular....
