Can't say enough about then ICON magnetic mat from my favorite haunt Horror Fright! Super handy when tearing down a tractor. Bolts, parts, tools stick to it so things don't go bye bye and won't harm the paint on @WHX?? and @Achto's trailer queens! Not cheap at 25 clams but worth it in my book! https://www.harborfreight.com/large-magnetic-tool-pad-attaches-to-toolboxes-fenders-and-doors-11-in-x-9-in-mat-holds-ratchets-wrenches-and-sockets-70077.html

That is good news Eric. I hope you can find a good engine to put in there or have that one rebuilt. Keep me in the loop.

About 9:20 tonight Mrs. P and I finished the mud work! She helped a ton!

Me and the neighbor loaded a few of them up and took them to Portland, IN antique engine and tractor show. Spent the better part of the day riding around the swap meet area and picking up a few things along the way. Only managed to cover about half of the swap meet area and one pass through the antique engine area. Huge event and it doesn't even officially open until Wednesday.

Nothing special, but I moved a couple out to the barn until the house is done. It was nice to drive them around for a bit. You can see some of the debris pile behind the 523H. The contractor has removed over a dozen tandem dump truck loads so far.

Glad to hear that Eric!👍🏻

That’s some serious mileage you’re covering.

He's been on several watch lists for years related to his unnatural accumulation of tractor parts... something about manipulating the market...

The long flight (United Airlines) came in just a bit quicker at 15 hours and 35 minutes in the air…set my stopwatch on my phone . The next and final leg across Australia is with Quantas and is just over 4 hours.

I hear they will hold an AR.

@ebinmaine That’s great news. Glad to hear it!

I will give you this @WHX?? famous quote "good enough for the girls we go out with"

One of the valves is loose in the engine. The keepers were sitting right below it. Also, the cylinder bore looks extremely rough. I have several other options for engines on that tractor. A couple different Kohler 8 HP engines. And yesterday evening I was thinking about the possibilities of installing a Briggs & Stratton 8 HP that was originally on my grandfather's snowblower and now sits on one of Trina's tractors. That will be coming off, because she has the correct engine for that one now.
