Welcome! That is a rugged old worker that you have there.... Just an observation - AG tires are not the better choice for snow plowing. There are special "X" style chains available, but pricey. regular cross link chains tend to fall into the valleys between the cleats and end up not effective, Turf tires, filled with the proper fluid and full complement chains have worked the best for me. And a set of wheel weights make a difference too...

Keep in mind, those settings in the manual are the initial settings or preliminary settings to get it started and running. They are not meant to be Gospel for every engine There is no specific amount of turns that will work for every engine. Those factory specs are so it will start and run. Then final adjustments should be made. EVERY engine is different so adjusting the carb afterwards to that particular engine and that particular carb should always be done. Engines and carbs wear over time so adjusting the carb to each particular situation will "dial it in" so it runs efficiently. I know a lot of people will just set those turns of the jets exactly to the manual and call it good but then skip the important part about making the final adjustments because it runs.

I plan on using atv tires to plow snow as I’ve done in the past and had great luck with

A few more pictures, a lot more messing with the steering and getting the right clearance and Ackerman angle. Chain out from front axle Another test run - and a photogenic picture

Some racehorses are staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. “In the last 15 races, I’ve won eight of them!” Another horse breaks in: “Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!” “Oh that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!” says another. At this point, the horses notice a greyhound, who has been sitting there listening. “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!” The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog!”

Happy Birthday @Desko, we are glad you were born.

September 10, 1897, a 25-year-old London taxi driver named George Smith becomes the first person ever arrested for drunk driving after slamming his electric cab into a building. Smith later pleaded guilty and was fined 20 shillings.

Why did the man stand behind the horse? He was hoping to get a kick out of it How do you make an appaloosa? Shake the tree

Nice tractor ! Looks like some one up graded your dash to a newer style. Not a bad choice, the lever throttle & choke are much more user friendly than the push/pull style.

An engine may also run fine under no load and then have issues as it's actually "working" and visa versa. All of my big blocks have an intermittent blip with no load but are fine with the hydro engaged or in gear moving.

Thanks for your input! I already did it.

Thank you for the link and info

All good info guys. I will mess with it in the AM. Hopping to run this at Zagray in October. Last show of the year.

I dunno. I work on these things for a living. The ADAS stuff is a giant pain in the butt, until you get way back into the early days of just audible park aides, and even sometimes those throw me. So many of the problems are software driven, and not an actual mechanical issues that I can actually fix, but every day I see more and more people just flat out not paying attention, expecting these systems to take up the slack, with no concept of the limits of the system (most adaptive cruise or collision avoidance systems will not actually bring the car to a full stop). Meanwhile I'm over here still driving my 87 Ranger and 04/05 Explorers with none of those systems, and I've never been in an accident where one of those systems would have made a lick of difference. I have been "at fault" for four accidents in the last 25 years. One may have been prevented by a park aide or backup camera of some sort. I had a cap on the truck, all the windows on it were iced, and I backed into a white car in a snowy field. One other I took off in a merge lane while watching the lane I was merging into. The car in front of me did more of a "staying still" type maneuver. The other two involved sliding through sharp turns in low-traction events. Every other accident I have ever been in the other car, or the deer, hit me, usually because they weren't paying attention.

Although this is not a dad joke, it's one of my wife's favorites and it's more of a "got ya" joke: When Pam is around someone with whom she thinks she can pull this joke on she'll talk about her "dog vein". She rubs her neck as if feeling her dog vein and asks if the person, if he/she wants to feel her dog vein. Once the person places their finger on Pam's dog vein, she immediately growls and snaps at the hand like a dog. Catches unsuspecting persons off guard and they pull their hand back rather quickly. So far, I never seen anyone slap Pam for this prank.

Yes I noted all the positions on video and used a paint pen on the shaft and connection of the thing on the exhaust side that I had to take off to install the exhaust. I guess that's the governor shaft? I then went thru my previous videos and took screenshots and had 6-8 print outs at the tractor while reinstalling. So I'm certain everything is in its same position. If you still think it needs this procedure I'll do it.

Wow don't see many originals of those these days.

I’ve had one for HH60 and one for HH100--good and so-so, respectively.

Lumber sales guy asks the apprentice carpenter shopping for lumber how long does he want the 2x4’s. Apprentice says “a long time, we’re building a house"

Yep looks a little tilted to the right a bit. Looks like the crank might have pushed up on that side too?

Hillbilly Knows Best A hillbilly farmer from back in the hills walked twelve miles, one way, to the general store. 'Heya, Wilbur,' said Ron, the store owner. 'Tell me, are you and Myrtle still making fires up there by rubbing stones and flint together?' 'You betcha, Ron. Ain't no 'tother way. Why?' 'Got something to show you. Something to make fire. It's called a "match". 'Match? Never heard of it.' 'Watch this. If you want a fire you just do this,' Ron says, taking a match and striking it on his trousers. 'Huh. Well, that's something, but that ain't for me, Ron.' 'Well, why not?' 'I can't be walking twelve miles every time I want a fire and borrow your trousers.

There Is a procedure to reinstall the lever correctly on the governor shaft that must be done - properly - prior to starting the engine. It is covered in the Kohler manual. This prevents over-revving the engine on startup... did you note the link position in the set of holes on the arm & carb? It is always best to take a couple of phone pictures any time there are multiple possible settings. again, the manual should have linkage diagrams...

CL find... B-80 $50 - 20 minutes away!!! Cranks over with jumpers. Wiring, tie rods, battery, few other odds and ends will need some love. Oh, and the hand painted patina is to die for...

Nice to see that the support strap is in good condition - it is required!. Do you have experience setting the governor arm position & throttle?? It is rather basic, but needs to be done properly...

Sputtering can occur when the throttle shaft has too much play.

The Carter carbs are usually the better ones. A good starting point is 2 turns on the main jet (top screw) and 1 1/2 turns on the low speed jet (side screw)

1985 since my engine spec is 47812 on the sticker (from my pictures link).

Happy Borned on Day, @Desko
