    Finally finished Miss Daisy. Parts came under the cover of darkness. New key switch, fuel lines, fuel shutoff and grommet, used ammeter, changed the fluids 3 used tires and the patina treatment. Runs flawless. Didn't have to touch the carb at all, Belt rattles at low engine speed. Thinking of a new belt even though the old one looks ok and an idler pulley. On to the deck to see if I can salvage it and sell it as a unit.

    Here are some photos from the show. On our third day there and still probably only made it through half of the displays, vendors and swap meet area. Picked up a really straight hood for $5.00 in the consignment barn!

    None. The only thing I touched on the carb was look at the air filter.

    I used penetrol on a C101 I did a few months ago, I was very impressed with the result. What was left of the original paint was to the point it was turning loose in little chips, so I ended up using steel wool to apply the penetrol and smooth it out some, it was pretty messy

    Again I mowed the Fire Stationwith the 312, ran it out of gas 3/4 of the way through. Then had to walk back to get my ATV and a gas can. It's just far enough away to not want to drag a significantly full gas can that far. I finished up the Fire Station, and took my tractor home, then got the ATV, and saw a co worker who saw me go there with the tractor but not back Then he got the short version of events.

    The solenoid is a switch. That switch is activated by electricity flowing from one of the small terminals to the other small terminal through a coil of wire inside the solenoid producing a magnetic field that pulls the switch closed. If the solenoid clicks that is because not enough electrical current is flowing through the magnet coil. This can be caused by bad battery or a loose or corroded connection from either of the small terminals which acts as a resistor thus reducing the voltage at the coil inside the solenoid. A pair of small jumper wires can be used for testing with one connected to each of the small terminals of the solenoid and one connected to the battery + and the other connected to the battery -. It doesn't matter which one connects to which terminal.

    What did the groom say after he spent $500 to rent a limousine, then realized he had to hire the driver separately? “I spent all that money, and I have nothing to chauffeur it.”

    Is yours also cable steer? Years back VinsRJ and his brother Matt found a cable steer RJ35 at the Zagray show. Think they paid something like $250 for it. Vin made a fiberglass hood like the prototype was and did an incredible job restoring it, pretty sure he did a Youtube video of it.

    My 416-H has almost 1800 hours. No engine problems other than the normal carburetor stuff. That 16hp Onan is more reliable in the valve seat department than the 20hp in my opinion. As far as the muffler, keep an eye on eBay, or contact Lincoln at A to Z, or some of our other vendors. You could also place a want ad in the classified section.

    if you have a 42 rear discharge deck ( not a recycler ) I suggest you consider adding a deflector on the rear - - i use vinyl base cove molding and carriage bolts - - it deflects the grass down rather than straight back - keeps the rear underneath of tractor much cleaner

    PA Folks, let's get some horses at the Nittany Antique Machinery show this year! There is usually only a handful of horses there and they belong to me! This years feature is IH so show out and bring a different kind of red! Dry camping is available on site on a first come first served basis. See the link for more details. https://www.nittanyantique.org/

    My radio guy installed this one on my 2010 F-150. The black thingy is slid up and down to tune and locked with set screws.

    If there is a major truck stop over there on I95, you might want to check it out. I have seen things at truck stops that might not be found elsewhere.

    The tree guys were highly impressed. My cart is rated up to 700 lbs and we got close on a couple of loads but the 854 seemed to be asking “Is that all? Let’s use 3rd gear!”

    There were improvements made to decks over the years so that generated different model numbers. The model number format also changed so two identical decks will have two model numbers. As the company expanded they struggled to keep up with methods for appropriate model identification and tried different formats. In the end Toro's model numbers stayed the same and they use the serial numbers to identify changes to the product. To think Wheel Horse was able to manage a system without computers is amazing. Their sales volume was huge and growing.

    I need to do the same thing on my two stage. I don’t mind the manual crank to turn the chute, it works easy and fast. But I’d like to change the deflector from inside the cab! Seems like this might be a good time to post one of my favorite videos! My wife took it back in January. IMG_4058.mov

    Tomorrow, I'll see if I can get some pictures that show the massive scale of the event. Garden tractors are only a small segment. Acres and acres of swap meet vendors, antique tractors, hit and miss engines, food vendors, consignment barn...

    Flat or semi gloss black on the tower parts. Flat is more forgiving later if you have to touch up here and there from scratches too. The more gloss, the more blemishes will show up. Personally, flat looks better to me.

    Thinking this may be a topic that a lot of us can relate to. I myself had a few friends that had both but myself only cars. I have a few pics here of the 70 Chevelle SS installing the 402/ 396 back into where it belongs. The 2 friends that are looking at the engine are 2 very good friends, the one on the left at that time owned an original 1971 Nova SS 350 4 speed 3.73 rear that I found for him in a local add from the original owner and the other friend has a 1967 Chevelle SS with a 427 Aluminum head engine 4 speed 4.88 rear. Unfortunately both are no longer with us and the 67 still sits in his garage with no future. I think of them every day and remember the fun we had with all 3 cars lined up. I have pics of both just need to locate them . My brother in law is the one to the far right and the one bent over taking care of the engine mount bolts and has owned my baby since 1999. Enjoy.

    For those that have not seen one, I hadn't until I acquired a couple '73 Autos. This dash is not in great shape but you can see that "start" returns to "run" without power to the PTO. Counter-clockwise one step powers accessories which in my case would be lights and PTO (clutch).

    Figure out how you can measure 12 volts DC (Direct Current). Your meter may show 100VDC which just means it will measure up to 100 volts. Ground the negative wire to a good chassis ground or battery negative. Now with the red test lead follow the power from the battery to the solenoid checking for battery voltage into each switch and out of each switch. There are notes in the schematic showing the state of the switches - operator in seat, pto off as examples. You are testing the start circuit so you may need a helping hand to hold the ignition switch in the start position. Notice the start relay gets it's power directly from battery + on a purple wire. The rest of the circuit controls what the start relay does. Wired like this so the start relay gets maximum power via a short cut without going through all the safety switches. Keep us posted on what you find and help will walk you through it.

    Thank you. I'm dumber than a bag of rocks when it comes to electrical/electronics. I don't really understand the schematic, all I can understand is that the wire to the starter solenoid is the one that has no power. How to test it, I have no clue. Where to start to test it, I have no clue. How to use a multimeter, I have no clue, but I do actually have a couple of them.

    I had a number of muscle cars as a kid - this was one of my better ones 1969 Hurst Olds rare car - just 906 1969 Hurst Olds were produced ; ironic thing was there were was another 69 Hurst Olds in my neighborhood 68 Hurst Olds - silver and black - was more rare ... they made just over 500 of the 68's (515 I believe)

    YES!!!!!!!!!! Way to go @JCM not sure why I didn’t start a thread like this a few years back but I’ll gladly participate. These are a few that are currently in our family... My ‘69 GTO that most on here are familiar with. Dad’s ‘67 GTO. Both of these cars we restored as father/son projects years ago. My Cousins 1980 Bandit T/A with 454 BBC and Tremec TKO600 I’ll add some of the cars that we’ve let slip through our fingers later on when I have time to dig out the pics... can’t wait to see what the other guys post...

    Not a muscle car but other than no power and crazy emissions equipment (it is to me a continuation of the 70s) with my twist on it...

    I built this '48 Ford F1 street rod in 1987 and have put a little over 100,000 miles on it since, still going strong.
