I need to get the motor running properly before i pull the motor off the frame. Its a Walbro carb i had it running good over the summer but after the vaccum fuel pump failed (diaphram?) i put it up until recently. I rebuilt the carb the other day and put a new briggs and stratton fuel pump on not Knowing if it would work or not. Is it too much pressure? How do i adjust the carb? Is the needle under the bowl a shutoff or some type of regulator?

I now have 23x10.50x12 ags and have a set of 23x8.50x12 ags.

Everytime I try to put it back together the cable pulls out because all that holds it is that slightly curved washer. If I make it tight the pulley wont turn and if I loosen it, then it pulls out. Its very frusterating. What is the torque spec for that center nut? Am i missing something? Im ready to weld the cable to the pulley and be done with it. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Other than the transmission, the tractor & motor are in very good condition with only 540 hours on it. The attachments, especially the deck are also in good shape although the snow thrower chain is a bit stiff because it sat outside since last September.

This unit will be going to my Father who is in bad need of a hydro tractor. He currently uses a C-101 but his arthritis makes the manual lift uncomfortable.

By the way..... this near perfect condition $200 find will also be installed on the tractor for my pop

What kind of trailer would you recommend or have seen that could handle three tractors? I'm thinking maybe one of these ATV trailers that you drive up on the sides with?

Just courious.

I want to put grease fittings in some pedals I will be using on my mystery build. They're probably from a mid-80's 300 or 400 series 8 speed, but these didn't have the factory grease fittings. What size drill and tap do I need? I think (?) grease fittings are normally 1/4-28 thread, but what would the correct hole size be before tapping?

Thanks very much as always! :thanks:
