6 pointsHad a great Labor Day family picnic. We picked the blue claws, then burgers, corn, potato salad, baked beans, and apple pie. Then played Bocce Ball, corn hole and tractor rides with my favorite Grand Nephew.

4 pointsThanks, now you got me started. This reminds me of a problem I had when I was still working. One of my 10 ton 600hp dynos lost a bearing and needed to be removed from the lab for rebuild. The problem was the dyno was installed before the roof was put on the building. I had a 20 ton bridge crane but the top of the dyno was above the crane hook. When I told the VP I would have to remove the roof and get a mobile crane, he stared at me for a few minutes and replied, If 10,000 Egyptians and a couple hundred donkeys can build a pyramid, you can remove that dyno without removing the roof. He was right, with four 25 ton chain falls mounted to the crane bridge I was able to lift it out of the centering joint and lower it enough to get it rigged to the crane hook.

3 pointssince you will replacing the seal and bearings maybe some heat on the pully hub will expand it enough, along with your favorite penetrating oil or wax. Bob

3 pointsWhat you talkin about Willis? I rescued this 875. Installed the lift arm, replaced the worn out engine, fixed the tranny leak, fixed the broken frame, made the fan screen, installed Town and Country's and front knobbies, painted the wheels and added the comfy but patched seat and springs.

3 pointsLip stick on the dip ... never mind Howard I'll clue you in 30 years... or shortly after you get your DL ... which ever comes first. Guessing you changed the filter too that will add a bit but yes some times new fluid can be tough to read. Dan's trick sandblasting trick works but with fresh clean oil can still be abit sketchy. 875 is a bucket lister for many of us (Squonky doesn't deserve one) and I must have missed your thread with all the I got blind out house lucky and scored this one for chump change.

2 pointsI was at an auction yesterday and bought this... It fired right up, blower works, and it moves fine. I did some reading and i just want your opinion on how decent of a mower it is? Its a 314A. I bought it to blow snow as itll be eaiser to do my sidewalks and stuff with then my quad. I gave 230bucks for it.

2 pointsMake four wooden wedges, place two on each side of the pulley and drive them evenly under both sides to apply upward pressure then use a piece of hardwood over the shaft and apply the BFH tool.

2 pointsMrs Sylvan says you are very wise... I told her what about your questionable choice of friends... She gave me the look... So i compromised...

2 pointsHere are a few photos of said tractor. I see nothing that would make me believe it is not an actual 754. I will be picking it up from @Just getting started in a couple weeks when my work takes me to Minnesota. It will mostly be for shows, parades, and joy rides - though I do have a nice period correct snowblade and enough parts to make one (if not two) nice mower decks. The tower looks like it may have had an HY-2 at one time, unless there is some other explanation for holes (last photo). This old plow may have found its special purpose!

2 pointsAll of our older warships were limited to 108' beam as that was the max you could get through the original locks...Created some design challenges...

2 pointsLooks like great day...but as I get older having Mr. Chervy coal come and dump 5 tons into my coal bin looks a lot easier

2 pointsThat's a good question. I left the PC-7 to dry overnight. I feel like doing bodywork with Bondo, if you caught it earlier, it would sand faster. I used 80 grit on a DA sander to somewhat shape it first. Then I used 180 grit not staying in one place too long. The hard part was the area where there was no bakelite at all. It was built up so thick that it took a lot of hand sanding. Now, about 2 small places on the bottom and one low spot I still need to put some more PC-7 on. This will be hand sanded since it won't be so thick. Then, adhesion promoter and flexible primer and I'll spray on the Rust Oleum truck bed liner. Dave

1 pointOld rotten tires removed from rear wheels. Inside part of wheel where the tires mount are in absolutely perfect condition. Don't even need to clean up or paint this area on them. These will seal up nicely with no need for tubes (good thing as 12" tubes are costly).

1 pointThe stator will recharge the battery, your ignition coil needs a wire from the "-" side going to the ignition points and condenser and a wire from the ignition switch to the "+" side to produce spark. Here is a wiring system guide for your , it has each system including the ignition shown sepertely.

1 pointThanks for all the replies. I am going to rebuild both and just keep them on the shelf until my Chinese replacement (currently working well) decides to take a dump.

1 pointUsually the only problem with these carburetors is debris and there is a good chance that no parts will be needed. I have bought import kits for the base gasket, bowl gasket and welch plugs, the float needles often have sharp corners causing them to hang up. Don't use intake to block gaskets from China. I blast carburetor cleaner with a straw in each hole in the hope that the area behind the welch will be cleared, if I still have problems only then will I remove the plug. I just priced the accelerator pump and carb kit from Onanparts.com, Onan was always high priced but they are now out of control.

1 pointI guess tomorrow when I get a chance I need to upload some photos that I've taken since I've gotten the tractor

1 pointThe best fix that I've found it to sandblast the lower portion of the dip stick. This makes them much easier to read.

1 pointI gave him the tractor 'cause I already have a 856 so what comes around goes around. Thanks Ed Dog ... I took a peek at the one on a 520 and all I could see is it did bolt from the top so I think it's the one. She is strictly a snow machine now the way she is decked out put I did till with it at one time.

1 pointVery busy day here this Labor Day. Trina's family was here for a mid day gathering and meal. The grandson HAD to have some tractor time. Won't be long before he's driving on his own. He gave the Sparky tractor a little test today. After all that was done Trina kept going as usual. More firewood processing with The Ugly Bruce tractor hauling the splitter and Millie pulling the loads of split wood.

1 point@Achto that paint fade and dried out seat would look in perfect PATINA STAGE , with little work , mothers back to black , vinyl / plastic for seat , penetrating oil , spray down let it sit for days / weeks , wipe down with a clean cloth / mineral oil , no scratch pads or paint scrubbing , done a lot of that , with good results , deep solid oiled finish . just my thought , pete

1 pointI really debated on getting a genny. Haven't really needed one in 38 years. I went to get ice and was going back and forth about it. When I got the last of the ice the store had I said to my self, ok I'm going to try to get one figuring they were all gone. So after putting oil in it I realize I have no gas!!! I have 3 cans and when 2 get empty I go fill them. I have no idea how this happened so I went and filled 3 cans back at the place I got the ice. I'm filling the cans and I hear my phone go off in the car. I'm thinking my wife is texting me that the power was on. but no it was just hurricane activity on my weather app. I filled that genny to the top. It ran 4 hours. When I went to drain out the gas the fuel level was still in the filler neck!

1 pointI found a P216 for $50 on FBM. It's in Cornwall on Hudson. Probably a bit far to travel.

1 pointJust going to go ahead and say if anyone else has any Onan's they are going to throw out holler at me first please.

1 pointTo answer your question, for a baby….yes 😁 For a shop to hold your tractor and not work on it…no. I would have went and gotten the tractor after about two weeks of no activity. At least you’re fixing it yourself the right way, and not paying through the nose to possibly get it fixed. With the wealth of knowledge here you should get the issue taken care of quickly.
