    Found this on fake book market place. Listed about 1.5 hrs from home so thought I would call about it. Really didn’t t need another but ya know how it is. Talked to owner and low and behold he was heading to my town. Asked if he would just bring to the house and drop it off. You cant beat that with a stick. Another 520H, this is a 91 best I can tell runs great and has almost new 10.50 BKT ags on back. I may have lost my internet privileges for a while though, but I can live with that, for a day or two anyway.

    March 12, 1973 Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In last episode ran on NBC-TV, it first aired on January 22, 1968 and was a Monday evening must watch for six seasons. Memorable phrases like the "The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award", "Here Comes the Judge" and "Sock it to me" became a part of our American vocabulary as a result.

    I was thinking about you guys Bob. Glad to see you are OK !! It went well south of us and we were more woried about the large hail. We did not get anything but the rain and wind. We haven't even had snow since I bought a new TORO snow blower before Christmas.

    Just tell the Warden you were doing me a favor and I’m on my way to pick it up. Might take me longer than 1-1/2 hours

    Just remember (and tell anyone who asks) that you can quit anytime. Just when you get ready.

    And, let us not forget the clueless Farkel Family. Sad but all too true, I used to plow snow along with a guy that was in that exact sorry situation.... his three young kids were not "his"... And they DID look like the next door neighbor...

    No problem quilting, I quit three times last week. SHHHH, the warden might hear you.

    It was close Steve but we were lucky. When it started shifting north we were the bullseye for a period I have to admit I was scared. I felt helpless. It was only about 2 miles out then. But it kept angling north. Even the neighbors felt lucky and said it was just a few scratches on the roof. They knew what it could have been. I'm thinking you might want to get a second blower as a backup. You can't be too well prepared 😀

    Isn’t it said of Michigan that you can experience all four seasons in one day?

    What's so crazy about that? I grew up in Michigan, where stuff like that was normal March weather.

    Yes sir I’ll have plenty of pics. I’ll probably start a proper restoration thread but heres three of the Onan under the hood. It can sit further forward then the KT19.

    I do believe that is it, but I found it on Fake Book Marketplace. Jim, come by anytime. I will even let you drive it around yard multiple times in a semi circle with mule drive engaged and deck down. .

    Got the hydraulic lift put together on Ol' Johnny. Now I'm wondering if the electric PTO will hold up to the Mighty Mac - or if maybe I should make this my dedicated Mowing/Leaf vac machine.

    I found this old fuel cap with a blowed out gasket, and some bracketeering materials and started fabbing a little tink tink too. I love watching them flop around, and they are practical to keep rain out in the rare occasion a tractor is outdoors when it rains.

    I've read piles of forums and spoken to zillions (give or take) of people. I've never heard of a non commercially installed foam that works right and stays in its correct form. It'd be neat if there was one.
  24. 2 points
    I believe the expanding foam requires moisture from the air for it to cure. Sealing it inside a tyre would, I imagine, have the same effect as leaving it in the can🤔. Suppose you were to insert an amount of water, (as a catalyst) into the tyre before injecting the foam, would that work? I seem to remember reading the instructions recommending wetting the areas to facilitate adhesion and curing🤔

    I wish you all up north would close the door!--looking like it's gonna let cold air in. It's suppose to be in the upper teen come Monday morning here in SW Missouri. The Bradford Pears (dadgum no good tree) are blooming and my Redbud is beginning to show color. So far the fruit trees are still closed up. Buddy of mine in Des Moines, Iowa text a few days ago nightcrawlers were out on his sidewalk. I text back: Don't let them go to waste, there's a potential catfish in every one of them.

    Sprayed the silver paint over the kast several days. Looks very good. There are a few areas that are a small nicks or dents. I'm leaving them alone on purpose because this model will be weathered. I'll call out the imperfections later in the build. I can also still see the original casting mold lines through the primer and paint. I left them alone asnwell because they actually look like the full scale version of tank divider or reinforcement lines.

    You shoulda seen the splitter I got to run. Youda been in splitter heaven EB. Log lift & adjustable up/down hydraulic fourway. Dual ram speeds. 12 HP Honda. Really the cat's meow but yah $$$... about 8500 in today's money. The neighbor I was helping his only source of heat so for him worth the investment.

    Ok got me diodes all pointing in right direction, carb adjusted, sediment bowl straightened out, added an extra clutch spring and adjusted brake. Drove around barn a couple times seems to be good to go. Had every intention of a new restoration on this one but have decided to turn my attention to the 520H instead. The 520 is just begging to be straightened out and put back to work.

    Yeah ditto, 87 degrees yesterday. Projected 30 degrees overnight. All things outside already covered in pine pollen. Weird. Temps in the twenties forecast ed. Worse is this is the second year in a row that the oaks were fooled and are leafing out. Latent buds for protection however early leaf/flower usually only happens to illiterate soft wood or stone fruit here. It is a crazy time on multiple fronts. Stay safe and warm/cool out there folks???

    they are not the same, the bore and stroke are different the front of the crank where it goes into the babbit is different and briggs made 3 different size o rings for the sump cover to block for the oil pressure. which now that im thinking about it is anther factor. im gonna get some model numbers to help narrow it down

    The problem is when the cold front moves through. Tuesday was warm and extremely humid. Then the front moved through. They said it was a super cell, 300 yards wide and it stayed on the ground all the way from the state line. We were tracking it as we huddled in the basement. It was going just to our south until it was about 5 miles west then it shifted just to the north. Fortunately there was mostly open fields and woods in it's path and the shift north was enough that it just ticked us. The neighbors to our north.

    We may have the B&S service manual but do not know the model and spec number of your engine. Post those and will link you to it if we have it. This may be it

    First, I cursed at Mother Nature for the rain and 30 degree temperature drop from yesterday. I also attempted to repair a garden trailer ATV tire that the valve stem was horizontally split in half. While I got the valve stem in it, fixing one problem created two more. It now leaks more due to old stiff rubber, and my previous failed attempts before succeeding to unseat the tire from the rusted rim. However, the tires on the trailer were 10+ years old, so I’ll either foam both tires or look at reasonable similar new replacements.

    I had a mini competition last year with @Andy N. to see who could run out of fuel the fastest at @WHX?? plow day. His 2 cylinder aircraft fuel sipper and my 16 horse one lunger with a tiny tank were very close competition. Today, I believe I increased my capacity. I might need some longer head bolts and some spacers to get the bottom a bit higher for better gravity feed to the carb.

    I decided to give one of these rakes a try to tackle the massive number of limbs and sticks that winter deposited on my property. I (temporarily) modified it to use with a slot hitch. Once I learned to slow down a little bit, the results were decent. I was worried it might destroy my turf, but it seems fine - actually does a little dethatching. Once I get everything windrowed near my large oaks, I'll hook up the Mighty Mac and make some mulch. Then breakout the Cyclone Rake for a vac job. Got about an acre to do. There are also a few limbs that will see a chainsaw and a fire pit.

    It’s a series 1 19hp, I’d say original. thanks, I agree. I will definitely need a seat pan, I’ll look him up. Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned when I shared the pics that this is going to be mostly restored and put back to work. I’ve got either a KT17 series 2 or a P220 onan that could be used. The series 1 is already out. Im also thinking of stretching a 520 gear reduction steering unit and adapting the greasable tie rods.

    I think you did well for what it is. Just about everything here in NC looks worse and folks think Wheel Horse means platinum lined.

    Come on, for 12.97 a twisted pressure treated 2x4x8 is a deal. Thankfully we have 2 local yards close. Wood is straight and actually cheaper than Lowes or depot
