SylvanLakeWH 32,171 #1 Posted 3 hours ago (edited) So I'm down to two Black hoods after my A-60 started it's way to Wisconsin... And, well there's this B-80 pops up on MP for $50. Motor and trans are free, tires all have air, seat is to die for... so, Here's the obligatory pics and what I've done so far: Carb dip - 3 times New battery New battery cables Motor oil change (bad) Trans oil change (really bad) New fuel line and filter Fresh rec gas New air filter Mouse house removal She runs, but still getting some surging... Still on the plate: Dial in the carb / fix surge issue Tires are tired... Grease Tie rods Rewire lights I'm sure something else will pop up... My C-125 is currently set up as a plow mule and back up snow machine. Not sure if this B-80 would be better suited to snow or mule duties...

ri702bill 12,847 #2 Posted 1 hour ago Interesting assist torsion spring return thingy on the Clutch pedal - is there a heavy spring in the OE position too? (or was this a PO backyard "fix") If that's it, there may not be enough force to keep the drivebelt tight enough... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a couple tractors with double springs. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes PO POS...! yes it works, yes it's unique, not enough pressure so no it ain't staying... I have a bunch of trampoline springs I've used on previous projects - as @Pullstart knows... it's on the list... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
