I had to watch 3 of my grandsons the other day while my wife and daughter went to a funeral. They got kinda' antsy, so I figured "why not take them for a ride with ole' rusty". Went all around the property, up into the woods and back. They had a blast. So did I.

I picked this up today thinking it may go to my grandson, but….then I saw it - it’s really nice and I’m keeping it! Sorry kid 🤪 The deck is like new…the paint is good, it’s very clean and don’t ever get me started on the seat

Thank all of you for the Birthday wishes! I reached the Required Minimum Distribution Age today! Ruth already had it spent before the check came! I had my customary steak, with the bonus of tater tots and caprese salad! Also today I got one of my oldest RJs out today and started it for the first time with the new Nova Ii electronic ignition module! After the first pull fired it up I can believe I haven’t changed from Points to one of these before!

Yep same tractor ... 1067 My first one and first resto. Was supposed to be a trailer queen and parked in my living room to look at. @Achto 's restos are a hell of alot nicer than mine and he has no qualms about sticking them in the dirt so who am I? Used to plow with it after resto till I set up a dedicated 1257 plow mule. Would like to find a rough molested 1267 to resto. Only model I would ever resto again.

Happy Happy Lane ! Only guy I know who sacrifices trailer real estate for lounge chairs !

Thanks! Yeah, been pretty busy, and will continue to be for a while. Next up is priming and coating that metal roof with black silicone (not great for heat dissipation, but going for the resale value curb appeal...). Garage is already done and it looks great. After that, I have some wood floors to sand and refinish, then new kitchen countertops, sink, and some painting to do. Whew!

Happy Birthday Lane!

WHX Are these the same tractor? If so the 2nd pick came out very nice. To nice to work in my book. You have to have one you pull out and have a cold beer an just look at it on a nice day like this and yours. Enjoy the ride.

Spec # checks out as a ... they used the original shroud. Short block maybe? Just keeps gettin better... Found this under seat debris... regular freakin hardware store there... Now I gotta see if I can save the rusted tight needle nose... Whatthehellisthematta with a clown like me...

Check out the Spec. Number on the engine, could be a pump/generator engine with a tapered shaft that a PO put s kit on. Looking at the end of the crank shaft in your photo it looks that way to me.

Kevin and 702Bill I Learned a while back about old seats. If you clean them well I use Gorilla tape in the hot sun and keep pressing down on the spots that need fixing. In bad areas you can use a weight to hold it down. So far I have done few this way. It is the sun that does the work and good Quilty tape.

I ran across an 856 I just couldn't leave behind also. It is now one of my most reliable machines.

Im struggling with that very thing now ! I just wish that guy turned around so I can see his face

B-I-L and I did that with a wrecked Chevy Chevette ! Priceless!

Nice Wrencher... My favorite model and looks orginal to boot.

I did a few final tweaks on the B-80 Reborn. I had to replace the fuel filter due to a little leak. Then it was time for it's maiden voyage. I have no clue why but it took just shy of 7 hours to download this. It never occurred to me that I could have added a little chit-chat but I think I was just enjoying how well the K-181 sounded. I think it's pretty cool. 48 years ago I loaded this brand new B-80 up at Chandler Sales. It wasn't long before I 'converted' it to a C-160. 40+ years later it's back to being a B-80

Well I finished this 1067 last week. She is a good worker now. went thru it front to back. I hope you enjoy the picks.

That there's just wonderful.

All is ready for next oil change. Think I’m going to like this set up.

Vertical Ed Dog... I believe the tank is above and behind the dash. Was on the 244H I have anyway. Not sure f there is a even a pump might just be gravity fed??? Should be one tho. Does a shot of sniffin salts get her roaring? Did you happen to look in the files to see if there is a manual for this motor?

Yup... put a price on that.... That thar jus' might be a Calendar shot, fo' sure....

Other than my wife and I, my whole family is on iPhones. I guess when they all have 6-figure incomes, the cost of the phone is not a problem. To that end, I have no problem communicating via voice, text, or email with them. I don't know why anyone needs to, or for that matter, wants to see my face when talking to me.

Have yet to run that number but will do Richard. Would like to grind off them welds and check it out as the pulley could go in another 1/8. Not serious tho and if it ain't broke don't fix it I guess.

::just let it soak in the recovery process :: I am with you on this Pete.

Install a marine primer bulb between the fuel tank and fuel pump. https://www.amazon.com/Attwood-93516LP7-Universal-High-Output-Certified/dp/B00546EOAM/ref=asc_df_B00546EOAM?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80333123589147&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583932699771448&th=1

That looks like the stage of production where they should have put Never-Seize on the steering shaft and the roll pin that goes through it!! 😂

Been busy fixing some drainage issues around the low end of the house. Used a small excavator hoe last weekend. Using the GT-1848 and trailer, and muscle power, to get the dirt back where it belongs.

I'm like you Mick. I have a house full of stuff that serve no purpose, I just like them. Kinda like why I have a garage full of Wheel Horses but live in the city and cut my grass with a push mower.

Don I think you're absolutely right there. It is a piece of functional art, it's form dictated by it's function. But still beautiful in it's design. I have many objects that I have no use for, but they fascinate me, or impress my engineering mind, or just feel good to have around. I do wonder about what I will do with my collection as I approach the cold, cold grave. No young uns to pass things onto At all. Maybe I'll have to sell off a load of stuff pre death. Or I need to buy a big viking longboat and get buried with it.

How often are your cheeks hanging out to get pinched!?!?

Seller mentioned that he has 150 in the seat. Thought is Wrencher after the EB check list is to put a eight inch plow on it and use it for a house tractor at plow day since I sold the no '73 name 8 I had set up. If that happens yah the seat will get swapped out for a beater. Either way it will probaly go on a resto or a more refined tractor. It will get a gentle power washing. The tunnel is filled with dirt and crap but after that just something for the to die for patina. Fer sure leave it rough Mike. Paint has never been messed with. I shoulda got a pic before we moved it. Grass and weeds growing up thru it and filled with grass clippings. Choke and throttle froze up solid so saving those is going to be work.

Fixed that egregious verbiage muddlation for ya.

Here jld see if there is anything in here. You may have gotten your pic out of here so you may have it. 492-4714 Onan E125V & E140V SM.pdf

Happy Birthday Big Show Neighbor!

Like Lynn said, all 520Hs came with the Eaton 1100. Yes, we are very interested to see the condition of the hub IDs and axle ODs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LANE!

Have a great one

Hey! Leave some good parts for the rest of us... My 312 sounding like a train is getting old...

What RPM did the electric motor run at and what size pulley did it have? Cage blowers like this are designed for higher volume at lower pressures with low-ish RPM. Lots of electric motors run at ~1,800 RPM vs. the ~3,000 RPM of that Onan You’ll need to do the math to decide if it’s being overdriven.

Great score for a benny! If it was me I probably would get it mechanically right and leave it in the rough.

Those were my first two. Also place an ad in our classifieds. There are still low hour chassis of various machines around sometimes.

I’ve spent the last 12 years as a mobile application software engineer and I could fill some pages up with related info, but let me be brief. Until Google (Android) and Apple can be friends (way way off in the future) there are a couple of gotchas with mixing the 2 within a family and friends group. FaceTime video calling is Apple only. In order to do that type of thing with Android users, you’d have to use something like Facebook Messenger’s video calling (it’s ok, but not a great feature) which is available on both platforms. Same sort of limitation with Android. Similarly, text messaging between individuals and groups between the 2 platforms is hindered by competing forces. Sending pics and videos via text (iMessage for Apple, SMS mostly for Android) results in low (like sometimes really, really bad) quality pics/videos for the user(s) on the other end. In short, if there is a mix of Android and Apple in your family/friend group, you’ll have to settle for not such a wonderful experience. If everyone in your group is on one of the platforms only, then communications will be as good as it can get. It doesn’t matter which platform as long as it’s across the board. Just one person on a different platform means everyone’s experience with communications (whether text or video calling) will suffer. There have been lawsuits filed and there has been some movement to get Apple and Google to cooperate, but it’s not here today. Both platforms are great. Both companies are innovative. And if you don’t text or video call with people then it doesn’t even matter, lol. edit: I blame Apple for not playing nice. 😊 edit 2: because Google does have a larger market share, so Apple has to innovate and make their platform special. edit 3: remember the browser wars? Yeah, that’s still a thing, and now we have mobile OS wars where Apple and Google are the only players left. edit 4: I used to recommend Android. I now use Apple and have to communicate with some Android users who I recommended it to back then; sigh, lol. Now I recommend what I said in the paragraphs above.

After soaking in Berryman's for a week I did a thorough cleansing and added brass throttle bushings...along with a OEM carb kit... Reinstalled and no more running on choke only@

Working on a little magnetic flag holder for the 414-8 hood. A few more tweaks and I think this will work perfectly!

amazing stuff ,to be born into a family that had horses before you were born is pretty neat
