    When I worked 2nd shift at the hospital we were given the task of cleaning all the ceiling vents in one office. The guy with me says how we gonna do all these in one night? I told him get them all down and wait until the kitchen staff leaves. A commercial conveyor dishwashing machine works wonders!

    Finally unloaded this from my truck on Saturday with the help of a neighbor, then removed my plow from my 312-8 and with the help of another neighbor we got the mower deck on and I commenced the 2026 lawn mowing season. Afterwards, I relaxed looking over my efforts while listening to good music and enjoying one of two very refreshing gin and tonics!

    I failed to clean the tub before the warden saw it. Cost me $15K for a new bathroom. Don't ever use the wardens tub to tan a bear hide.

    Haha! Reminds me of when I was still living at home right around 21yrs old. My grandpa owned 2 Cadillac dealerships so of course thats what we typically all drove. I was cleaning my Coupe deVille on a weekend & spending too much time trying to clean the wire wheel hubcaps. Got creative, removed them & put them in dishwasher! Mom was suspicious cause I was running dishwasher & her suspicion was right. Let's just say she wasn't really happy & what made things worse was when my dad found out he thought it was a great idea too!

    April 7, 1970, the legendary actor John Wayne wins his first—and only—acting Academy Award, for his star turn in the director Henry Hathaway’s Western True Grit. Wayne appeared in some 150 movies over the course of his long and storied career. He established his tough, rugged, uniquely American screen persona most vividly in the many acclaimed films he made for the directors John Ford and Howard Hawks from the late 1940s into the early 1960s. He earned his first Oscar nomination, in the Best Actor category, for Sands of Iwo Jima (1949). The Alamo (1960), which Wayne produced, directed and starred in, earned a Best Picture nomination.

    Washed the mud off then remover the tiller from the 312H. Then installed the 48" SD. The electric hoist really makes it easy to pick a deck from the storage skid and roll it in position under the raised tractor.

    We had a new children's director join the staff at our church. The previous director always hand washed all of he small toys after the children left for the day, the new director ran them through the kitchen dish washer for the first and last time. Some of the plastic toys looked rather frightening after being sanitized at about 190 degrees and the ones that retained their shape had a good deal of water in them.

    Mrs P is traveling to Boston for work this week, and flew in to NJ on the way. She was upgraded to first class on her flight too! I think her sunrise wins.

    Welcome to Red Square The preferred transmission filter for all models is a Wix 51410 or Napa 1410 because it does not have a by-pass valve

    Honestly I don't mind the column hydro controls, when i was growing up my dad had the old red cub cadet's that had the column hydro's so I got used to it. Will do! Hopefully I can start digging into it tonight! Good, it didn't run so I was a little nervous about the hydro pump. It seems like it was well cared for, the guy I got it from, it was his grandfather's and he bought it new. He passed away a few years ago and it sat since then. The battery has a 2020 date on it so it hasn't been sitting horribly long. He had a 1054, a 1075 and an 854 sitting there as well as a tub cart, but he didn't want to part with any of that lol I told him I didn't blame him.

    There are some odd things in the (presumed) quote. Calories that are invisible to or not registered by the brain…What does that mean? Also, hydrogenated fats are not “known as trans fats.” Some hydrogenated fats are trans. Some are cis. Some are fully hydrogenated so can’t be cis nor trans…all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. It’s true that trans hydrogenated fats are not healthy, but it’s not going to be very common to find them in significant amounts in margarine these days since they are no longer permitted. And there are naturally occurring trans fats, although not dietarily common. Lots of artery cloggers out there, but margarine’s not the prime suspect some may suggest. It’s also not particularly delicious, but that’s a different issue. Steve

    Growing up on a dairy farm we made our own butter. While visiting one of my dad's nephews I happened to be in the kitchen while his wife was blending the dye into the margarine. Never having seen margarine I told my mother they were serving colored lard instead of butter, she corrected me promptly bur everyone kept an eye on me to see if I would eat any of it. I DIDN'T.

    Decided to take on a little yard work today and bust out both machines. Taking my yard back one gaffucci garden at a time. Then decided to finally make a front hitch using an idea I saw on here of using an old mule drive. What a world of difference.

    I'm jealous that you have such convenient access to the KATY. The appropriate rider’s etiquette is to call out “On your left” from well behind and/or (as I do) to use a bell to announce one’s presence. Cyclist are mostly oblivious to this, sadly, having not had any instruction. Sometimes BOTH voice and bell are needed as I daily encounter two- or three-abreast walkers totally engrossed in their conversation or their phone who then loudly voice naughty words at being passed. Other hazards are the pet walkers using leashes much longer than the trail-rules-mandated six feet and the frequently un-helmeted kids on all manner of wheeled things being given no guidance on safe behavior.

    Guess I'm in the minority I just can't get comfortable with the foot control, but around here you have to be able to slide around on the seat to keep right side up . I can see the foot control being handy pushing with dozer blade or using front end loader though. BTW great score on the 314-H.

    Congratulations on that 314H! Great tractor. Love the bagger setup as well. Personally I hate the hydro controls on the column so I built foot pedals for all of mine.

    My self I have to drive a little over an hour. I can Handel that. It is really worth it because no degrading of fuel lines. That’s the problem with regular fuel. it just eats away the fuel lines causing all kinds of problems.

    @Handy Don got you covered on dimensions and an old Throttle cable is good to make one out of. Couple z bends and get close to the dimensions posted above and should be good to go.

    On my K181 it measures 2-⅝” (2.625 inches) from outside to outside at the parts of the wire that pass through the governor arm and the throttle actuator. The wire is 5/64” (0.07812 inches) thick.

    Well that’s a good question. I was trusting my memory but now I’ll have to go out and measure it! Edit: Went out and measured. ⅝ (0.625 it is). I clearly recall the shortness of the shaft because I needed an input pulley with the setscrew set in the valley of the sheave--not enough room for a longer hub to the “outside” and the sheave had to hug the transaxle case to be in line with the engine drive pulley and fit under the belt guard

    Cleaned Eaton 1100 fan on 520H. Its amazing what a little dish soap will do. Know I Gotta go clean sink out before warden gets home. All the chrome came off air cleaner lid so painted black and put American flag sticker on for the 250th anniversary of America. I did put everything but the hood back on and drove around the barn a couple times but forgot to take pictures. I know I know no pics didn’t happen rule applies. I believe I may get rid of foot control and go back to the column control, just cant get used to the foot control.

    Saturday I got the 416-H ready for mowing duty by installing the 60” deck and Peco vacuum system. I cut real low to vacuum up the small sticks and debris from the winter, then put the C-101 to light duty work spreading lime. Tractor and spreader are both about the same age. The spreader I picked up off an estate I was working on, it was in the basement like new!

    Happy Easter Gentlemen! This morning I began the process of figuring out what is leaking on the 312A’s hydro pump. Lot of cleaning ahead of me… I also ordered a new motion control plate as this one is pretty wallowed out.

    I blew some paint on a hood I got from a member here. Original had tree damage. I will shoot the grill satin black when red is good and dry. This was a Toro black stripe hood but will become a burgundy stripe hood. I power washed and serviced the little 36 inch deck. The tractor will go to camp for summer.

    First mowing this year. Used the 310-8 and Trac Vac to clean up all the winter duff. Did my lawn and all the right o ways around the farm. Then paid a visit to my neighbors green house for flowers.

    Todays adventure - rebuild the steering system. To start off I turned a portion of 5/8" stock down to 9/16" and threaded it to 12 pitch. Next drill a hole in it and tap the inside of it to 3/8-24. Then use a parting tool to cut it to length. OK, what am I building here ?? Remember the fan gear that the PO messed up by welding the drag link to it? The hole in it was too large for a heal-a-coil. So I tapped the hole in it to 9/16-12. What I made was an insert to repair the require 3/8-24 hole in the fan gear. Inserted with Loctite plus I peened the edges to ensure that it does not move. Next - take a peace of 5/8" x 4.5" stock, turn a 15/16" length of each end down to 7/16" and thread it to a 20 pitch. One new drag link. Now for the tie rod that was butchered up. First off, position the front axle and spindles so that everything is held strait. Then cut a 1" x 5/16" flat bar to length. Use a transfer punch to mark the outer holes. Drill the 1/2" holes in each end and the 3/8" hole for the drag link and test bolt things together. Looking good, now it was time to turn the two 1/2' bolts into part #3949 clevis pins. Cut to length and then drill an 1/8" hole 1" deep into the end of the bolt. Drill & tap the end to 1/4-28 to a depth of 3/8" for a grease zerk. Drill an 1/8" cross hole to meet up with the 1/8" length wise hole so that grease can get to the pivot point. Front end repaired & almost ready for some paint.

    More sheet metal repair. The bolt hole in the seat was busted out, fact it was so big the the head of a 1/2 carriage bolt would drop right through it. I used a hole saw to make a washer out of 10ga sheet metal. Welded this washer in place plus took care of a couple of stress cracks. Ground all the welds smooth, Squared the hole to fit a 1/2" carriage bolt. The seat and front rims then made a trip through the blast cabinet. Moved on to the hood which had some cracks around the front mounting hole, plus plenty of dents. Spent a couple hours with a hammer in my hand bouncing back & forth between the anvil, a sand bag, and some hand dollies to get it as straight as I could. It will still need some minor body filler work to be perfect. After it was straitened out I drilled some holes at the end of the cracks, beveled the cracks out, weld & grind. Other than that all I have to show is a bucket full of sand blasted parts.
