Now I didn't start this ... credit goes to Brian @76c12091520h ... This is Busty with the bus seat that Pullstart give me. Replaced it with a home made seat that was a little more comfy and easier on the eyes. A go to tub puller and a ride around at every show. The boys said I shoulda renamed it Horny since I put this on ...

Here is something for your optical entertainment Sylvia. Maybe I should paint this on the hood for @WHX?? ??

Finally ready for install. Had to go additional 2” to the right in the front and reduce the overall length by 1/2”. .125 steel Sunrise Red

I think someone put Jimmy in "time out".

Did my civic duty today. We are getting new neighbors across the road and I saw them struggling to clear the now packed snow from the driveway with plastic shovels. I asked if I might help and then plowed it down to the tire tracks that I couldn't get under. Turns out the father has a 416-8 ,with many attachments, that he might bring over when he gets the missing parts. I just didn't want them to be unprepared for the possible big snow coming Sunday.

Your too much. Busty and Horny. @WHX??

I‘ll join in once again

Are these the guys that started the Army ROTC? Run Off To Canada.

Hey I do have one, kind of. it was a c120 now it has a mag 10

I have a coworker who jokingly said sometimes, you just have to start the conversation with "look b**ch". So when I told my wife what he said, I slept by myself that night. Somehow, being a joke didn't matter... And I didn't even say it! Sometimes I'm sorta glad that the ladies aren't as physically strong as we are.

Is this engine not equipped with an axial thrust bearing to handle the thrust from a manual PTO. Seems the Manual would exert more thrust than tightening that bolt on the lectric PTO ? But, I guess we never start up with the manual PTO engaged. Might be interesting to bypass the PTO safety switch to see if one would start with it engaged. Still thinking about this. The engaged manual PTO exerts a true axial force at the center of the shaft which the thrust bearing can handle. Tightening the bolt shown exerts a bending force on the electric PTO bearings that may be causing enough friction in the PTO to make the engine difficult to start.

Refresh and a magnum.

I’ll join in. Heres mine bit rough and needs some work though. But definitely not as nice as @76c12091520h!

It's priceless to have neighbors who do things for each other. We've been lucky that way in our present location on a short dead-end road where almost everyone knows each other. We help each other out in far too many different ways to list here, and I hope that never changes.

Old Black Betty has been ready since yr 1973 Looks like we are going to finally get something that’s plowable , hopefully not ice. Even added a little extra weight to the tool box.

@Achto and @WHX?? I can see you two have been hitting the curds rather hard of late... pace yourselves boys... You don't want to peak before @Pullstart's plow day... we need the entertainment...

To early to tell I guess but Ive heard 4 inches up to 12. Maybe in a couple days I/they will know better. Anyway I got plenty of propane and kerosene in case of a power outage. We are just getting out of a deep freeze now and warming but bitter cold coming back again. S.W. Pa.

Glad I'm retired. If it gets bad I'll just wait till it melts

January 21, 1977, U.S. President Jimmy Carter grants an unconditional pardon to hundreds of thousands of men who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War. In total, some 100,000 young Americans went abroad in the late 1960s and early '70s to avoid serving in the war. Ninety percent went to Canada, where after some initial controversy they were eventually welcomed as immigrants. Still others hid inside the United States.

Remember all the things you said you said you would only do when H**L froze over?...Could be a busy week ahead

The whole fam damly can ride on that one. I couldn't help but notice you look weirdly quiet in that middle pic.

Fully restored back in the early 90's, new deck at that time, it's been my everyday tractor/grasscutter since 1996.

Can I have that 1045 in the back there?

Regular rocket scientist today ther Sparky for figurin that one out .... That's alright I had to go look in my pics to see if I owned a 120 ... Looks like I got a C-121 for tomorrow too ...

DAYUM!!! I believe that heffer is of the dairy variety...

Well kinda hard to be cruisin chicks when the missus is along and as @Achto would say that tractor is a real pan...nevermind ...

Yup, just took the air cleaner base off and found that I had somehow wedged the throttle linkage wide open. Oops. All fixed.

Reeling this fish story in… I still am not sure whether to call it a B-120 or B-121…

or somebody's house broke!

We're done with snow for a few days... 3" fresh today, but bottom drops out shortly... Meh... shorts and t-shirt weather...

I'll believe it when I see it, but they are calling for somewhere between 12 and 18 inches of snow and ice here over the weekend. Last "significant" snowfall here was 2007 when we had 6 to 8 inches. Everything since was a light dusting at most. It will be great to see a good snow. ...if it actually happens.

Steering column “upgrade”. well, as I had mentioned before, it was impossible to get the old pin out of the steering wheel to be able to pull the column apart… So I found a nice shaft collar, painted it to match and it does a nice job. I slightly drilled a detent into the shaft so that the Alan key bolts would seat into it for a good positive contact. Got the decals on and turning my attention now to electrical and engine tear down. That may take a little while, with those pesky work requirements stealing my time away from the shop.🤓

Rock Auto has the Wix 51410 for $8.69 each.

Only 8 " of snow...but the temperature single digits as it snows???

So sorry to hear Dan, sending you and Gretel my best…

Wen encountering a new problem it is best to ask yourself what you did just before the problem began.

I found the problem. Had this bolt to tight. It should actually be a Pin and cotter key. It was putting to much pressure on the crankshaft towards the flywheel side And actually turning engine over hard. Causing a voltage drop enough to Cause the intermittent spark.

Intermittent spark ??? Are you losing spark at high RPMs, when it gets warm, or all the time? Cutting out at high RPMs could be the condenser. Cutting out after a short period of time could be wrong coil - "with out an internal resistor". Battery voltage builds up above 13vdc and collapses the coil. Cutting out all the time could be dirty points or a bad plug. After you file or run sand paper through the points, you should follow up with paper or a dollar bill. Could also be a bad wire connection.

120… I like what ya did there.. Beautiful machine!

My wife recorded me plowing snow on Dec 11 but I just got the video from her now to post it. The 520HC worked well as always.

We have a couple breeds that have horns regardless. Not usually true with dairy cows, but the ropers have horns no matter the plumbing.

I don't think so .

I sold it years ago. Yes it did have the pump on the PTO side. I bought it with 30 hours on it. The original owner had it on a late model, 96 or 7 520 -H and he passed and I received a call from the dealer that he was buying the complete package back. I would have bought the 520 but already had 2 of them. It mounts on a factory bracket in front of the footrest on the subframe, @AHS

Forcast for around here next couple days, hope thae freezing rain does not happen. @cafoose you seeing this.

Unfortunately my services were required at work on Saturday so it was kind of an unproductive weekend for me. A big Thank You to @WHX?? for the nice steering wheel. It cleaned up very nicely. I also painted a few small items for the engine today. Fly wheel, governor arm pieces, & little trinkets & doo dad's. I did get side tracked with another project. I'm helping a friend set up his Simple-city with a Magnum 16 Kohler. This was a yank start engine that we converted to electric start. Fits perfectly in the frame. He carved out an adapter that bolts to the flywheel so that the drive shaft can be connected. A few little kinks to work out on this yet but it is coming along well.

Well, we got around 6" or so of snow last night and it is snowing heavily right now. Another foot or so is forecast for today so I plowed some just to stay ahead of it. If I get too much then the big tractor and blower may need to come out. The 520HC is resting in the heated shop now. It is currently 9F with a wind chill of -2F so I wore my warm jacket and insulated pants to stay warm.

Changed out the powered worm gear snowblower chute with a powered chain drive.
