My V-day gift
 

Momma called and said I need to get my trailer dug out of the snow so we can go pick up my v-day gift, she bought me a 129! She's such a good girl! Gonna borrow the engine for the 124 for the rest of winter while I rebuild the one that the rod broke. Will put up pics when I get it home this afternoon. Is there anything in particular I should keep my eye on while bringin her back to life? Any problem areas? Hope everybody has as nice of a vday as i am!

Got it home. Its rough but some parts are there. Have the cast front and hood looks straight. Gonna swap engines over tonight. To see if it runs. Definetly worth the 80$ she got it for. Kid wanted 300 and my gorl offered him 50 and got it for 80! Kid had to dig it out and then push it through a foot of snow for about 200 ft. So he earned that 80!

Well worth the money! Hope the engine is in good shape.

If your wife really cared she would have bought you one with hydraulic lift.:biggrin2: Congrats on your new toy.:beerchug:

She likes me to stay in shape Tim! For now its just a heart doner. The castiron is there and hood is in decent shape, the release for rear to free wheel works, forward, reverse handle is stripped or busted they have pair of old vicegrips on rod. Tires all hold air and kid said he drove it and engine didnt smoke or make noise although not sure he could hear anything since there is no muffler. Will try getting it running in the morning if weather permits and find out...

Spring time will see about giving it a make over to run the tiller I built. How big of a pain is it to put hydro lift on? I have a spool valve setup from an older hydrolic snowplow from a truck that has both up and down and left and right, is it possible to use the double valve and run front and rear hydrolics?

124 is alive! No smoke, no noise!
