I pieced together a RM-366 deck from a few donor decks. Doubt the 754 will get used much for mowing, but I figured "why not?" The blades had previously been installed with the left and right reversed. It wasn't cutting squat - and I figured that since there were separate part numbers for left and right that might me the issue. Went ahead and touched up the cutting edges while I had them off. Mowed some strips in the vacant park lot behind my property. I had a different shell that matched the patina better, but along with the patina were a few rust holes.

Get the 26x12’s and the widened wheels mounted on the 520H today.

Well th pacemaker is in and all is good. Anticipating discharge in a couple hours..The area representative for Medtronic was in this morning to check out the pacemaker and said as long as the only tine I am within two feet oh the welder itself for longer than a couple minutes there is no problem battered and bruised my wife is on the way to pick up the car at the Dodge dealership where she had her fall. the valve job will be done at some time in the future.

It's that time of year again - the semi annual migration of the house plants. We had our first frost threat last night so all t. he plants came back into the house. Since window space is limited in this old house, we end up grouping several in prime spots. Long story short , I built a plant stand. It's dry fitted for now, still needs a bit more work before it's ready to be put into service.

Picked up a load of leaves chopped them into teeny tiny pieces, Then my neighbor tilled them into the garden.

October 19, 1985, the first Blockbuster video-rental store opens, in Dallas, Texas. At a time when most video stores were small-scale operations featuring a limited selection of titles, Blockbuster opened with some 8,000 tapes displayed on shelves around the store and a computerized check-out process. The first store was a success and Blockbuster expanded rapidly, eventually becoming one of the world’s largest providers of in-home movies and game entertainment, before eventually filing for bankruptcy in 2010.

Wheels done and Tires mounted (26x12x12)’s on the 520H. Had to massage rear fender to get un tucked under there. Has been a fun project and glad I tackled it. Would I do it all again heck yeah. Ivstill cant get over how bright they appear in pics they are not as bright in real time. They have more clearance in real time than what appears in pics.

When the local video store went out of business years ago, the owner donated all of the “TRAINING” videos to my firehouse where we would watch them downstairs at the bar after meetings. This may help explain the local baby boom in the years to follow 🤣🤣🤣

If you eventually have to have the valve job done make sure they install a new head too.😉

Bigger heavier. Difficult to work on 3pt is a valuable option. Attachments are unique to D series.. Back blade is nothing special. Not a very maneuverable beast. Cast iron twin Kohler is an industrial engine very heavily built but parts are getting very rare. Overkill for a 48" mower deck I have a D200 with a loader...

Maybe “borrow” a lead vest from the X-Ray department on your way out?! 🙃

Did you hear about the guy who got hit in the head with a can of soda? He was lucky it was a soft drink.

Today's score: technically not a "toss", but a gift for cleaning out a garage for a neighbor, where we found it buried... Majestic 35 vice. Anyone know anything about them? Age, quality? Its ready for work in my garage so doesn't matter to me other than interest...

I'd be happier with a much more explosive result. Like the porch pirate popping boxes filled with dye or paint.

Just fluid fill them. Same amount of weight without scratching the paint.

Good afternoon. All WH sickle bars are basically the same design, except with the mounting as there are different models for different tractors. I’ve made quite a few posts about my sickle bar in the past and the one I recently got at the big show this past year. There are also a few members on here who are sickle bar pros and can tell you what models fit which tractors. Anyways, here are a couple pictures of what it should basically look like.

My bosses daughter has a Ram truck she's been fixing up with her dad's help. For whatever reason she decided that truck needed two air horns. Last Friday we compared her air horn kit to the ones in the crane. Just as loud. Mebbe a touch deeper tone.

What does a person with diarrhea and an electric car owner have in common? They both hope will make it home

They are oddball 25x13-12. ATV tires have some strange sizes!

.The Pacemaker is in, no problems and I will be going home this aftrernoon. The valve job will be done in a month or two.

The grinding marks on the end of the crankshaft aren't in line with rotation. They are horizontal or even in a slightly upward & opposite line. Here's a zoom & crop of your pic above. Notice similar straight lines in the same place. DEFINITELY AGREED. There's a LOT of damage on the journal.

Yes, both are effective, but kind of boring. I like the shock factor and embarrassment of unexpected lights and noises and it satisfies a 'get even' urge I have for somebody messing with something of mine

I have four blades staring at me. I can mount two onto a 520, and a C141. Also onto a Cub Cadet and an Elec-Trak. Thinking if I mount all four it won’t snow this winter.🥶 If I do push snow the 520 with a 48” blade is my first choice.

The fronts on the C-145 are severely cracked and leak down…in stock here I had a pair of 18x6.50x8’s on WH correct wheels that look great! And the extra inch of height over the stock 16x6.5’s will work well to get the plow up a bit more.

I got a plow frame out of the shed and it's leaning on a wall in the back shop. Still to nice out to be moutin snow eq.!

Hung the new winter/plow tires on the rear of the C-145 Auto today. Can’t push snow without weights, really going to bother me to scuff up the new wheel paint but that’s life

One question: Will it run a 60" mower deck without bogging down?

Maybe something to take your mind away or not? Well a few months back, before the big show, I ended up with a gout attack that turned septic. The infection attacking some tissue that was aggravated by loose metal in my right ankle. Long of the short, lots of antibiotics, two surgeries my foot was saved and 3 months later, I am kind of walking again. My wife in the mean time is taking care of me and the kids chipping in on the yard work etc. Then it gets worse. My wife falls and breaks both legs, one ankle just cracked and the other in a fixator, more surgery and screws and plates. Just perfect timing I still could not walk. Can't drive, can't cook, can't can't can't wow. Through the grace of God, good kids, good friends and neighbors, we got through it. (At least my issue, she is still mending) Something ironic, the Dr. that operated on me also did her surgeries. When she was in the OR he came in and said, you know I been at this over a dozen years and this is the first husband and wife procedures I have done. He said he has done relatives but not a couple. I told him that we are going for the preferred customer tee shirts. He laughed and looked at the nurse and said, maybe we can have buy 4 and get the 5th surgery free? You know like the coffee punch cards!

There were several brands in that line. I don't recall the exact lineage. Power King. Economy. Country Squire.

Not only that, but thieves get by on things going right, and doing so in a manner that doesn't attract attention. The horn going off every time the starter should be engaging is going to draw attention.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat...

Another good way to look at it... particularly if breakage is frequent & expected.

If it's going to be a mud mower I would run the cheapest stuff I could find and change it often.

That pedal is off a Kubota

I had a Coopers Hawk leave the same print on my bay window.

Mowing just grass I hardly ever need to clean it. Grinding leaves in the fall using the 48" deck, I might need to brush it as often as once a minute but with the brush in your left hand it just takes a second and you don't need to stop. The kohler screen spins so that is likely why you don't need to clear those as often. The Onan engine also has a spinning metal screen just below the stationary plastic one so I have considered removing the plastic one and run it like a Kohler to see what happens.

The volume of air pushed through by the Onans is, frankly, impressive. Consider also that two cylinders already need twice the air of a single!

Turning the dirt!

Looked for the bird that left this imprint on our window... No sign of it so it must have survived impact... Or, it's a ghost a bit early for Halloween...

I have come to accept that is just how it is with leaves blowing around in the fall. I made up a holder from a bagger bracket to hold a regular car snow brush You can use anything to hold the brush. But the main point is that I can use this brush to knock leaves and debris off of the screen while running the tractor.

My boss bought a hammer that looked much like that Doyle. And he was showing us just how great he thought it was going to be, so he was going to pull a coated nail out out of a stud, and the handle broke off just below the head. We just couldn't stop laughing. He bought a titanium hammer after that fiasco

That might be the one implement that I do not have but would get the most use from. But it's just a few miles outside my travel range...

Finally got my widened wheels painted today. They actually look better in person than in pics.

I was looking for this thread a few days ago and couldn't find it. For some reason the Search function wasn't able to find it either....
