    First I screwed the pieces together on the tractor. Then I used superglue to attach 2 small broken off pieces, then deep pour epoxy to rebuild it one section at a time. Used aluminum duct tape to form each section I poured the epoxy into. Then grinding the back side to get a good fit and glazing / sanding the front. Painted it with Ace International Red. Overall, I’d give it a 8 out of 10, but way better than how it was or no bumper at all.

    Just purchased this from my neighbor. Always wanted one since I was a kid, and seeing my grandpa with older tractors. Came with a plow, and mower deck. Neighbor said it hadn't ran in 3 years. Changed fuel, oil, and transmission oil, new spark and fired right up. Did just recently clean the carb. Only issue I'm having is, it seems like it's surging. Any ideas? Thank you all. Wanting to tear it apart this winter and restore it.

    More progress on the hydrolift retrofit. The valve block and lines are now attached to the ram. It is semi permanent as it’s a PITA to put in. I made a mounting plate out of aluminum, that the valve block bolts to then bolted to the frame. It’s relatively close to where the original was. So as of tonight everything but the hard lines and the handle are in, that will be tomorrow’s project.

    We took a drive down to Lansing to attend the 2026 Lansing Sexton High School Athletic Hall of Fame inductions. My wife's dad and uncle were inductees for their performance on the wrestling team. Her dad in 1954 and her uncle in 1957.

    Unfortunately all good things have bad things happen. I was able to get the piston up enough to remove the crankshaft. After removing it that’s when I noticed the block had a crank in the cylinder and when I shined a flash light on it there was a chunk missing. Went to think on it and upon looking at good ole marketplace I found the exact same model for sale. Upon meeting with the gentleman I discovered he was also a like minded horse fanatic and had the shifter I needed as a spare part. I was able to Pick the motor and shifter up this morning. I spent most of this afternoon hunkered down swapping accessories over and fabing up a temporary solinoid mount with a new solinoid as the old school switch is seized. I was also able to weld up the battery box and make a new retaining part to hold the battery in. I also ordered up some new choke and throttle cables for it to get it temporarily running around the yard. @ri702bill I was able to flip the frame up after removing the motor and found no cracks on the transmission and the plow shows little to no signs of wear on it so I’m hoping that means it was not used (or lightly used) as a plow machine. Hopefully the storm eases up tomorrow and I can get it mounted down and attempt to pop it off before diving into tires, exhaust and brake work.

    I just picked up a B-80 myself! Great little tractor! Did everything you did as well. Had to soak the carb 3 times before it ran. Change entire fuel line, filter, and the fuel shut off / rubber grommet at tank. Clean out the gas tank - a couple times... Replace the whole petcock / grommet etc. Old fuel line will keep feeding the carb a steady stream of gunk... Also, adjust the governor. Surging went away for me when I did that.

    Never seen these headlights before… are they easy to come by and how much do they usually sell for?

    Excellent! Post the model and spec # for the tractor and engine. Download manuals from this site and look through them. Verify that the governor is adjusted correctly and focus on the fuel system to stop the surging. Other advice will be coming...

    I've concluded over the last decade that a total cleaning and replacement of the entire fuel system is a necessity on a tractor (or any machine) that's new to us.

    Surging is likely a fuel to air ratio problem. I have had success eliminating these problems by using alcohol-free gas https://www.pure-gas.org/ and adding Berrymans B-12 fuel additive at double the recommended rate for a couple of tanks of gas to get the small passages in the carburetor clean.

    A farmer drove to a neighbor’s farmhouse and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door. "Is your dad or mom home?" said the farmer. "No, they went to town." "How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?" "No, he went with Mom and Dad." The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, mumbling to himself, when the young boy says, "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give Dad a message." "Well," said the farmer uncomfortably. "No, I really want to talk to your Dad, about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy pregnant". The boy thought for a moment, then says, "You'll have to talk to my Dad about that. I know he charges $100 for the bull's service and $60 for the bore pig's service, but I have no idea how much he charges for Howard."

    C/S "engine is missing". Tech notes: Unable to verify, opened hood, visually inspected, found engine to be in proper location. Started and noted engine runs rough, recommend diagnosing.

    Yes, it will work. Weights and chains make better traction. I even use #40 roller chain wrapped around the fronts for much better steering. Adjust the ground speed as necessary to keep it loaded up and keep it from clogging

    Like the title says what is it? It is marked Charger 10 on the side. But the motor looks original and is a 1976? Hydro drive manual lift. Starts right up too. Thanks

    Relaxed, mostly. Slept in, went to the next lake east to have breakfast at the mom & pop diner, drove around the lake and took back roads home, walked the dog, and took a pontoon ride around the lake - first time in about a month. I did actually accomplish something - I determined that the inoperative outlet in the A Liner camper seems to be because of a bad GFCI unit in the outlet. Got power to the outlet, but no power coming out of the outlet. The test and reset buttond don't feel right, and pressing them with the power on does not produce the normal clicks and klunks. Replacement is scheduled.

    I have apparently acquired a kitten. The dogs cornered it in the wood pile and would let off it. I had to dig it out, and currently have it in a pen in the garage with a dog bed and a towel. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. I got her to eat some grilled chicken, and left her a bowl of water, but she feels all skin and bones.

    I had this issue on my deck pullies last year. Even with sharp blades and new belts it was slipping in thick grass. I had to get in the single pulley with some 80 grit and bust the glaze off the surface.

    After cleaning carb,I have found most fuel related problems can be attributed to this. I will add fuel pump is often full of gunk also which will keep filling carb up with junk untill cleaned up/rebuilt.

    Part of the problem here is a lack of hunters. Not enough guys moving the deer around. I don't do archery. Last year during rifle I fired one shot, and honestly, I shouldn't have taken that one. I knew the deer was too far away, but it was the first one I'd had a shot at, and very near the end of the season, so I tried.
