We keep our tractors in the basement, but slowly running out of room......currently working on a shelving system to store more. Clay

I'm a little confused at this point (not unusual!!!!). In a couple of your posts you say that you have good spark - if you have a good spark then your coi, points and condenser are probably fine. The ignition timing needs to be set to fire BEFORE TDC. Tecumsehs are a little weird because instead of giving you a certain number of degrees of roatation before TDC, they give you a measurement down the bore to the top of the piston. I forget what the number is for the H55 - Chris is suggesting .070" in his post above. Unless you have this fancy Tecumseh tool: You need to have the cylinder head off so you can measure down the bore. I'm not a fan of Tecumsehs, but I think that it is a good thing that the timing is set independant of the points gap. On a Kohler you are forced to run what ever points gap that you end up with when you set the timing (or vise versa)

Looks like you're moving right along. I need to get busy with finishing mine! I like the battery location, but I can't use one like that. My big butt on a bump and I might get a burn from shorting across the posts with the seat... I had to use a motorcycle battery and a fabbed up box, but it worked great: Yeah, that's a hydraulics "project" on it too...

Well it is a huge mess right now. Will hopefully get a day or two this summer to pull everything out and reorganize the chaos.

Ok Mike, I think i got it now. Wish me luck and thanks for your help. :thumbs2:

daily update....... now were having fun........

I could tell you which one you should get, but in the end you may be unhappy with the decision of others. I'm not saying you would choose the one I tell you. In the end they both have their pro's and con's. Go with your gut and get the one you want.

I never liked a teccy till I fell in love with a H60!Its the only Tecumseh I would have in my stall!They are ready to work upon fire up!I too will go through on this winter.Your 606 sure is purdy!

Congratulations Jordon always good to have one of each Do you think all the laughing around the campfire helped things along Brian

Love the Hy setup on your Ranger!I in fact got the lil fella finished on mock up.All but spindle swap and 8 inch skinny fronts.Got the 155-12 tires mounted and relocated rear fenders.hooked up choke and throttle and tore(wheelied like a mad man!)up the street! <3 I am IN love!Plus I found a great alternate use for the tool box as the pics will show!

The engine will be gone through this winter . just going to get it going for now. Still waiting on a few HH60 parts from partstree and then I'l fire it up and see how it runs. :tools-wrench:

I think the girls would love their own tractor...but I don't know if I can handle Denny's over priced finders fees! :ychain:

Stupid paint!

My second full time job,Double Trouble on the 606.

I know what you mean, and especially when using an industrial enamel like I usually spray. It usually takes 2 days before I can start assembly! I've never been the patient type, or at least thats what my wife tells me. Its looking really good! Can't wait to see it done! Matt :flags-texas:

Looking forward to seeing you again Perry...hope you join us at the campfire. :)

I wanted to weld a pole in the middle of the trailer and put a mannequin hanging on to it with a bikini or nude but the wife said NO, and she don't tell me no very often, so no pole dancer this year.

Sorry for the second post but thought you would like to see the outside too.

Heres my so to speak "Stable"

Yeah..... the sheetmetal on that one was painted metallic maroon by someone in it's past. Most of the time it looks purple in pictures though. From a few weeks ago - on the job & with a better seat. :

My weedeater tractor: 6.00-12's with three Sears wheel weights on each side for spacers. :handgestures-thumbup:

Here's my 753 dually! What a heavy beast! KJ

Those are both some beautiful tractors! Of course I have duals. I have two tractors with them now and guarantee someday I will probably have another. Jake

Do little duals count??

Had the Tires mounted today. Now I just need to finish the trans and paint the frame and other parts so I have a rolling frame to work with. I'll just wait for good weather instead of complaining all the time . How was the weather in texas Matt?

Come on down Terry, we would be happy to have ya! It was 94 here today. The wheels look great!! I can't wait to see it all put together. Matt :flags-texas:

Had the rims powder coated last week. Here's a couple pics of them coming home in the back of my truck. I tried to pick the best available color trying to match something close to the Original color of the rims. What do you guys think? Also found the tires I wanted at of all places....Good Year. They gave me a deal that was hard to refuse and thats good because I believe in supporting the local business's when I can and supporting the venders when I can. I will post pictures of the mounted tires tommorrow if I can. Have many parts ready to be painted and have all the parts to do the tranny. JUST NEED SOME WARM WEATHER TO GET MORE DONE. It was snowing here this morning in Minnesota. Maybe I should move to Texas .
