We moved from the blistering heat of Florida to the lovely cool weather of CT for work, my wife got a job as a director at a local hospital system, I am a computer consultant, so it doesn't matter where I live. I grew up in upstate NY, so I like the cold, it was 103 degrees at 9AM the day we left FL, I don't miss that. The economy in FL is in free fall, here in CT it is though there was no recession, the difference is amazing.
I will take some pictures of the tractor tomorrow, I am really interested in hearing your thoughts on the modified mower deck.
I removed and cleaned the carb today, replaced the fuel lines and filter, the glass bowl is missing. I started removing the PTO clutch and noticed the lower ear from the starter generator is broken clear off, I think that might be the cause of the "engine knock" the previous owner spoke about. The electric lift has been removed and replaced with a manual lift, and the rear of the starter/generator is just floating free in space, I would imagine there should be some kind of bracket there.
Thanks for your welcome everyone.
