Wonder if he used  his tongue to test the quality of the gear oil?

Ain't you got deck pullies to go bust up Waldo???  'Twant Squonky told you how to bust them proper?

How's that Don?

Make sure the ground is on a good clean metal surface as close as possible to the point you will be striking the arc.       Path of least resistance ya know.

 

     You can remove the battery, engine, and all wiring,  But with the ground at the wrong place, I would be more concerned about arcing thru bearings.

 Also not sure how @squonk knows that @Pullstart sleeps on straw, but whatever !…….

Who knows Don ... Waldo also say Squonky checks Waldo's shorts for crap... says it's good Sqounky has a hobby.

Me thinks Squonky has bedded down with Pullstart so he knows about the straw? 

 

i got my problem solved... thanks again Bill!

Truth be told Ed I kinda wished I woulda had to go that route if nothing else to sharpen my welding skills. I can't toss the required 100 arrows a day to keep my bow skills up to date and goes even  more for my welding skills.

Broach the hubs, new hardware and call it a day for this girl for now. Gotta love it when seals leak and hubs slide right off. 

 

Glad you got this figured out. How's the gas tank coming along??

 

Now that you have that tractor ready for snow duty, you can get back to work on a 701 or an Amigo or .....

Thanks for reminding us what the subject of this thread had been.          I love threads that get totally derailed to the point where nobody remembers what the problem was in the beginning.  The best part is that the solution to the problem had nothing to do with the subject line of welding!

Next show season I'm gonna put the deck on for campsite mowing duty.

solution to the problem

Just learned about that torx bit for rounded allen heads recently.  

Hopefully when I run into this issue I'll remember to try it.
