I told my boss that I had a terrible fall. He said, "That's fine, don't come in to work today." Tomorrow I'll tell him I had a horrible summer, too.

Check with McMaster Carr. You will need to know what series of roller chain (40, 41, etc) you have first. Some of theirs have a ball bearing, others a bronze sleeve. Looks like yours has an "open" design ball bearing - those need a slinger installed to help keep water, snow, & dirt out. A sealed (or shielded) design is better suited for the application.

Its funny how we all sleep differently. I sleep on my side, my brother sleeps on his back, my ex sleeps with everybody...that sorta thing.

I'm glad I could take part in getting this gem to the home it deserves.

It certainly did @Ed Kennell !! I thank you again for helping me acquire that beautiful tractor! I still think it has probably not but a few hours on it. Paint still on the muffler and nubs on the tires! You can tell when you drive it, it feels like brand new. It will spend the winter in my warm basement with some other C-Series.

That C-101 slept in my barn for a couple months.

Shuffling a few tractors around before winter sets in, the C-101, 418-C and 418-8 were in my enclosed trailer. So I took them out for a quick check up!

Did you hear the one about the roof? Never mind, it's over your head.

Have to admit @Pullstart that was an enjoyable video. I would have run out of gas after ten whacks.

I'm worried I will fall down the stairs one day... I'd take steps to avoid it, but that's sort of the problem.

Air used to be free at the gas station, now it costs $ 2.50. You want to know why? Inflation.

The parking brake uses a pawl inside the transaxle. Many (most) of them get the teeth shaved off from being engaged while the tractor is rolling and become useless. The parking brake should also disengage the idler pulley, so the drive belt no longer engages the hydrostat. The foot brake only moves the motion lever back to the neutral/stop position. Adjusting the tension of the motion control is done here. Part 6-50 is adjusted to increase tension after loosening the retaining nut. Resistance is created by parts 6-45 & 6-43 and need to be clean, NOT lubricated.

I would be about the same. That's exactly why I bought more tools for manual labor.

After putting in 50 years in the Plumbing & Heating trade 90% of the work is unfortunately ALL OVERHEAD.

I figured leaf pickup was a good job for the 502 that I recently got from @WHX??

I just did. Thanks. Put it here as well in case any one of our electrical experts know why it might be putting out voltage (not totally dead) but not the 20+ AC volts per spec.

Wonder how the spindle pulleys ended up at the correct height? Could they just be turned over?

I think the question is: Why is the PTO belt on the bottom? The pulley could be inverted to be big on top and small on the bottom to get the same speeds.

What kind of milk comes from a pampered cow? Spoiled milk. What's a sea monster's favorite lunch? Fish and ships. What do you call an alligator in a vest? An in-vest-i-gator. Why are pigs so bad at sports? They always hog the ball.

A newcomer looks around a packed church service and whispers to the usher, "Wow, there are a lot of good people here today." The usher chuckles and whispers back, "Oh, don't let the nice clothes fool you. This is just a massive support group for the spiritually clumsy."

According to St. Augustine— "the church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints." The bible verse that this is based on is : Mark 2:17, where Jesus says: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Lot C is reserved for people who think their sins aren't bad enough to need God's forgiveness.

I didn't know you had been listening to my wife sleeping.

We had three channels but changing from one to another required someone going out to turn the pole mounted antenna. somehow that became my job, not too bad in the summer but in the winter I was quite satisfied with the two channels that would work with the same antenna position.

Okay, okay I know it’s not Saturday so please forgive me! Yesterday I had to move a few tractors to get my Peco vacuum trailer out, so I figured I’d take a few pictures for you boys!

Yeah I have the same blower I use on my 93 520 H it works great. Throws snow 35 to 40 feet no problem. I live in west Michigan and can get some heavy wet snow it handles it easy. I do have the manual for the ber-vac if you need a copy I'll send it.
