Got the ole girl out and put her to work. Still amazing how good it runs and operates. https://youtu.be/njEDX6gEMzM

For my first tattoo I decided to make it a tribute to my favorite brand of tractors that I've loved for the past 13 years. It's right over my heart.

Here we go again. Can't resist posting this!

39... back in those days I was on benders that lasted longer....

I was 39 before I got married. My arm would have been to short...

You just xxxxx them out and put the new name underneath.. .

Better than the name of a gal you had to get rid of twenty years ago!

this 805roadkong channel is awesome! 4 cylinder Briggs, 2 cylinder Briggs, hit and miss Briggs... and @AMC RULES they swear by the PC 7 brand!

Hello everyone. I’ve just got hold of a b80 4 speed. It’s the first one I’ve had after looking for one for a few years. Engine well and all gears work ok but the clutch doesn’t seem right. It didn’t seem to engage properly. When I lifted of the pedal bit did engage when the pedal was pushed all the way down. However I think I’ve damaged the belt by doing this. It must have rubbed on something. Can the clutch pedal be adjusted or could it just be an old stretched belt that’s causing the problem? Heres a picture of the old lass. cheers everyone

I was thinking it was a nut harvester of some sort, your reply gave that a whole new meaning!

The brand is always the subject of debate.Single weight or multiweight is as well.One thing is not so much.Since these single cylinder aircooled engines have no oil filter, change the oil at 20 hour intervals.Hour meters are worth the trouble and expense to install.

I thought maybe unused props from the failed Edwards Scissorhands/CATS collaboration.

I think I would use it to cut a hunk of Spam straight. I just hate when the wife cuts the Spam at an angle. You guys are going to fast for me to play with any seriousness.

Used by a Cooper to make a groove for a barrel lid.

We got to talk to the moderators of Google Maps to include a “tractor” button

Hit the walk button Ritchie.. heard tell you need some exercise. They need a tractor button down there!

WOW!! Where have I been?? I just found this thread while I'm waiting for the grass to dry a bit. What a great read That's some awesome engineering and work Kevin as well as a great write up.

First off, You should be able get a suitable spring from an engineering/agricultural suppliers. That is if the old one is still there to compare. You'll have to pop along to Newby Hall. June 8th-9th. There'll be some of us UK lads there. Some of the Yorkshire lads may live near you.

There’s no way he will change the John Deere ovies. He would go to bed in them if he could😂

If you have some alligator clip bite jumpers hook one end to the battery + and the utter to the coil + and give it a try. That bypasses all the safety switches and any old wiring issues.

Just got a text from my friend who has my rj35 hood saying he was going to be dropping off tomorrow morning. Exciting since he has had it for 10 months to do some body work to it. Thankfully we have both been busy and I havent had time to finish my 35. The hoods the last critical piece I need to put it all together minus the pulley with the friction disk. I will need to prime and paint it but I'm happy with that.

rocking it up with a western maine rockabilly band Ragged Jack!

Expecting the kids to show up for Mom's Day and knowing my sons legendary appetite I asked his mom to double up on the munchies for her day.First batch.I wondered how many of my beers she was using for the baste and she wouldn't say.

Nothing better than cooking with adult beverages, even if you decide to use some on the food.

I try to use Rotella straight 30. I'm by no means an expert. Just what I do.

Change 2 Seats. Because my last Seattime with my Beast i got some bumps in my Back. So i decided to Change the Seat with a Damped one. Therefore i must drill few holes, then the Seat fits. looks nice and the Seatfeeling is perfect. After that i have it’s Seat as spare, but what shall i do with it - hum, The Seat on my Horse is also Strongly worn, so i changed it to the spare, Therefore i keep the Springs for good Seattime and make 2 mounting plates to Fit the Seat to the Horse. the Seat feeling was unusal but not Bad. a bit more space for the feets make it more comfortable while using and also i get a bit more Weight on the Rearaxle. After that i do a testride and mow arround the House. That was the best issue, because of the aslant way... the Grip was much better and also sideway driving is better. After that i changed to the Beast and drove about 2h trip thru the Forrest, later a bit onroad... I enjoyed this Seattime, also at harder Offroad, because i got no beatings in the back. Even if the way is realy bumpy. so far both operations was a Success.

Eric, if I ever get serious...slap me and wake me up.

Never mind. Include Spike. Can't raise wishi-washi children. @LengerichKA88 disregard my no Spike idea

I have figured out that the previous owner has bypassed the PTO safety switch so the starter will work. I will replace or adjust that switch later to eliminate the bypass wire. He also had a block of wood under the seat to activate the seat safety switch so no butt is required. Now that the points and plug are cleaned I have good spark. I removed and cleaned the Walbro carb. It looked good inside. The fuel pump works great. When I removed the fuel line from the bottom of the gas tank, under the seat, the grommet disentegrated. It was leaking badly already. I will have to rig up a temporary tank until I can, I hope, find a replacement grommet. I found the head bolts were not as tight as the should be so I "snugged them down a bit. I didn't have a torque wrench handy and I didn't remove the head because I don't have a new gasket on hand. I hope the gasket will reseal at least till I can see if this engine will run, or not. I hope it checks out. The more I look at this C-85 the more I like it and would like to restore it, if the mechanicals all check out.

I got to start getting out the hard stuff. Too many woodworkers out there. Care to provide tools actual name?

Same idea as the wheels, but for a rocking horse?

And you know this 'Apples 'cause ?!?!?

Another option if it doesn't work to fix it and you want to use a different tank like @19richie66 would be to cut out the front portion of the tank and mount it to the nose, then put a different tank in behind it. That way it would still look original from the outside. Just a thought. Randy

I use this from work called trim lock Works good for me

Maybe he was using it to storm something, and someone else was doing the shooting. Maybe the farmer caught him coming for the daughter.

Before you go replacing parts, do you own a multimeter? If you don't, invest in one. Check to see if you're getting power to the coil. It isn't uncommon for 40+ year old things to have wiring problems.

Great looking tractor!! You might want to get the little one some more appropriate clothing though.

I set up a new obstacle course, thanks to the local tree sale. Who wants to come competitively mow my lawn?

I still use some tools like those pattern making ones when I recreated a part for our Wheel Horses, but for forming the part out of clay or wax.

This may not be a good tool to keep around wife when she is mad at you.

Me too for the most part but it's fun to read. Can't be serious all the time.

Well Never mind then 😂

I can see your logic there Kyle. Good thinking.

My 1-1/4" wide bandsaw blades used to come from Lennox with a plastic cover over the teeth to protect them and anyone handling a blade. The sides of the U-shaped plastic are about 7/8" deep and the bottom about 1/8". Fits perfect over the flange on the dash housing and being almost like nylon allow for movement without squeaking. I see 1-0300-6 for a model number and 74076 for a serial number. Am I correct? Garry

As I stated in my other recent post, one division of the company I work for has a scrap yard/recycling center; In addition to the dump cart I posted in implements the other day, this got turned in for scrap 4 yrs ago, just the way you see it here; in good running order(just needed a tune up); and it came with a blade. And this wasn't the first complete , running Horse I rescued, I just don't have pictures of that one.

One thing I have encountered is the foot rest on the right side being in too far causing interference with the clutch arm movement. Love the stone work on the house and drive way, looks wonderful.

Red Lion, Pa. has been referred to as the cigar capital of the USA with several large production factories and over a hundred small operations in garages and basements. The House of Windsor Company in Windsor, Pa. is one of the lager factories.

Guess I don't know what your saying about the thicker seal but I use a 11124 SKF seal from NAPA. Works fine lasts a long time for me. Installation issues perhaps we can help out with?

If the motor isn't stuck that's a good deal. Get it running and "put er to work"!!

All my work paid off. It works well 20190506_175119.mp4
