September 13, 1969 "Scooby-Doo Where are You" by Hanna-Barbera debuts on CBS in the US.

It was a great show even if the starter went out of the raider 1/2 through the day! Didn’t get enough pictures now that I looked

Not saying it was or wasn't, but I've never seen a cam lobe worn down by a fuel pump arm. However, an electric pump is a good replacement.

luv that Workmate - - looks like mine after its 30 plus years

@WHX?? dry camping is no hookups. We take a generator and our own water. WARNING You're gonna see some of my off brand stuff lol IMG_20260910_101038.heic

or get a lower PTO hoop holder (or make one) and use spacers like this

There really isn't much of a lobe to begin with but for the sake of discussion: My C160 would be a beast to get the carb primed if I ran out of gas. so I thought the pump was bad and replaced it. Couldn't get any gas to the carb at all. I unbolted it with the lines connected and could get it to pump like crazy by hand. Tried installing it like 10 times with no luck. Went electric and never looked back.

Solves several problems. Instant starts save batteries and starters. And eliminates the risk of a leaking diaphragm pumping fuel into the crankcase and destroying an engine and possibly the operator.

I'm pretty frugal and opted to use 1/2" x 1 1/2".

Edy had a cabinet in the garage that she wanted gone. I didn’t need to use the Roper to move it but I wanted to.😁😁😁 I transported it to the workshop and installed it in a corner of my office.

We found the pedal assembly we need, on eBay. That deal is complete, we are just waiting on shipping. It’ll be time soon to pull the trans, and swap the flexplate out for a flywheel.

You had me at "boom"... I thought this was going to be another story about the connecting rod getting a sudden urge to vacate the premises....

Couple shots from @JCM & @Raven 's Annual North Berwick Meet n Greet.

I just went the rigid mount bushings from performance machine and design...and they do work...but the installation is definitely not easy...if I were to do this again I would do what @pfrederi did above.

Happy Birthday @Lane Ranger, we are all glad you were born.

Filter should be between the pump and tank.

Sorry no pics Eric, but I have eliminated this engine mounting design that depends on four rubber sponges and the drive and PTO belt tension to position the engine. Some I replaced the rubbers with solid spacers and some I cut the angled wings off the cradle plate, removed the tapered bars and bolted the plate directly to the frame with the correct spacers to put the engine at the correct height. All worked well and IMO had the same or less vibration than the rubber mounts. Here is a link to my Low Rider build where I altered the cradle plate to a solid mount. Page #2 shows the mods.

I would rather deal with the seller but I might have to go the eBay route.

Oh yeah, that one tube being almost completely smashed shut isn't going to affect the flow at all. And if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. I have a cooler flusher at work with a flow meter on it that I would use if I received a part looking like that. Most people don't have that kind of access.

Thanks to all !

I hate when one of my "OLD Stand-by" tools goes south! Knowing that I will never be able to replace it with anything even close to that quality or durability.

Have a Great Day Lane

This is the most important step IMO. I do this on all of mine but definitely necessary if you're increasing the air intake or doing any porting.

How do you install the bushings? I’d assume you’d have to lift the engine somehow?

Happy Birthday Lane!!

E Bay will make it good. Just start a return.

They have a 98.8 positive feedback, since 2017. They are selling electrical and mechanical stuff. I have had little problems with eBay sellers, I guess it was time for that to change.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

Happy Birthday Lane

HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY @23 Reo

1960 550 and 61 551. First time these 2 have been run in awhile but both fired right up. I had forgotten how much easier these are to mount and dismount than the horses with running boards.

Great morning on the Chesapeake Bay with the boys. The blue claws were cooperating. VID_20260903_091532229~2.mp4

1257 and C160-8 sporting there wheel weights.

Every married man should forget his mistakes, there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Rubber ones. Sorry couldn't help myself

Not ours but a buddy of ours

I couldn’t help but take a few more “side shots.”

That is a one off home made tractor with a 1950s Crossley motor, and a 1950s Studebaker Champion rear end. A local guy made it to mow big fields around his Honda motor spots dealer back in the late 70s-80s. also has a huge mower deck that goes under it as well.

Nice! I'm not much for making promises but I can promise that missing the connection in your name won't lead to my last stupid comment Looks spectacular. Worthy of non-tractor-related discussion if you haven't shown it off there yet

Here is a picture of @BOWTIE's predator swap. I believe he used a plate like you did and I think everything else lined up.
