Could be worse Kevin, Just wait until it's time for your check up after your 50th birthday.

I have a cheapo Campbell Hausfield sandblaster my neighbor gave me years ago that I've never used. Today, I made a duct tape and cardboard blasting cabinet. It worked like a charm, or at least long enough to strip the nasty, rusty wheels on the snowblower I'm restoring. The best part is, I'm pretty happy with the way most of the "cabinet" turned out. So now I can break down the cardboard, lay it flat and have a decent template for a real blasting cabinet. Redneck engineering at its finest. My Dad taught me well.

The best coffee is a nice cup of tea! I had a colonoscopy a few years ago. The procedure was easy, the pre cleansing was bloody terrible. I genuinely thought I was going to turn inside out.

Vintage K-90, model N, thing was one big ball of varnish... both inside and out!

Horse power and torque Onan Wisconsin Kohler All working the gears

Ahhh 50 - First you realize that you're a half century old, you go to the mail box & find your invite to join AARP, and then doctors wanna probe you. It just can't get any better than that, can it??

I hear ya Chris.... picked a 1077 up once and the seller said he cleaned the carb. Turns out his "carb cleaning" consisted of pulling out the main jet needle and blowing air down thru it! Alrighty then

I really can't think of a better way to spend a day

YIKES

Beans cut... test and tune? time’s running out pretty fast Winsconsin calls soon.

Hi all so I just got my pump back from now and then complete rebuild it was only a couple of dollars more than kit plus shipping fee

I wonder sometimes Do you occasionally Speak to friends haiku

You guys got wwwwaaayyyy too much time on yer hands ..... ain't you got a plow day to get ready for?!?!

Horsepower is how fast you can hit the wall. Torque is how far you can push it.

I asked my Trina something along that line at one point. Her response was (paraphrased). "I know how to buy more paint".

Some really pretty Wheel Horses ...BUT to paraphrase Donald Sutherland.... Can they work??

All shined up ready for a new owner 😉 only 20 hours . Looking for trades

This year has been great, a pair of knees, a pair of hearing aids, a pair of dental implants and just today scheduled for a pair of eyeballs. Not joking except the eyeballs are cataract surgery.

They just measured my height weight and waist and I thought his procedure was bad enough!

When i‘m younger so about 20 all doctors tells me, if you drink further that much of Coffee, you didn‘t survive you 40iest. now i‘m over 50 and my coffee consume is still the same as with 20. that say‘s me only one thing..... I have urgently to destress my Life.. 😎 nobody say‘s something about my coffee consum.

Perhaps it is a Peerless 1400 transmission. Used in the 800 Special model 1-0150 and the A-90 Special model 2-4300. Get down and look up under the dash housing for an ID plate. Garry

I've done a couple of cleanses which is exactly the same thing as the prep for the colonoscopy. I found that to be tolerable for the most part as long as you're not more than about 20 ft away from the lavatory facilities. What I'm not particularly looking forward to is being half knocked out during the procedure itself. I turn 50 in December so it's going to be sometime in the next two to four months that I go have that amount of fun...

Chiming in to get my learn on. Haven't encountered one of these transmissions in a

So much better. Lunch time I finished a turkey club with jalapeños, onion rings and half of my wife’s “thanksgiving on a bun” meal! Only had room for a cookie killer with marshmallow sauce on top.

Both finances and wisdom... out of reach for a while?

I would not mind if someday I had the finances to purchase something like that and the wisdom not to do so

You may be larger now than you were earlier in your life but I don't believe for a sweet second that you ever GREW UP any more than I did..

Occasionaly But only among nice folk Like here on Red Square

In drag race terms, torque makes acceleration, horsepower makes top speed. A Buick 455 will come off the line harder than a Buick 3.8L turbo V6, but the turbo car will likely have a higher speed through the traps. In tractor terms, torque is more important for ground engaging chores, and horse power is more important for PTO work. In engineering terms, torque is force times the radius of rotation. Horsepower is a unit of work, which is force times distance divided by time.

I'd need someone to follow me around to help me out of that thing...

What Does Horsepower Get You? When I was a kid it got me lots of speeding tickets.

Now that’s a sensible family car...

I like to utilize my ultrasonic cleaner for tiny carbs. Sure, I might be able to spray most of it out, but the vibration of the cleaner will break particles loose and work them out of passages that torch tip cleaners couldn't reach or carb cleaner bypassed. Much better to pull it off the machine and do it right!

To start with it is not stupid. It is outright clever and resourceful. Anyone can run to the store and buy a new tool to perform a certain task. It is the individuals that have imagination and are resourceful using what they have or making those tools themselves that always earn my respect and admiration. That is what using ones mind is all about.One of the most clever things I have seen anyone do in a long time.

Well did!

I dont think any of us did , And i wouldnt have it anyother way

It's looking like red frame, front axle, 3pt and wheel centers. Then with ivory grille,hood, fenders and wheel hoops. Probably an accent strip of red on the hood sides

Wait until your 62.....LOL

More HP gets you a bigger gas bill....

One and an eighth inch... that's the transaxle to use Try to break me now !!!

Sixteen, Fourteen, Twelve Kohler makes a lot of these Single Sixteen King

Fully optioned it is only $135,000.

Naw. He lives too far north of the Mason Dixon line. He is a Mish-e-gander!

I'd figure about 11 or so. @pullstart loading style of course.

It said nothing about the trailer towing capacity, how many will that rig tow?

Please don't. Rebuild it. Couple cans of brake clean and a gasket kit. Super easy. New after market carbs are not your friend.
