Finished the wire harness on my dad's 417a. Also had to shim the starter, worm gear worn on end. New drive belt, and guess what? IT WON'T STAY ON!!! IT'S GOTTA BE ME.😣

 

 

Did you ever get a laser level on it?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that by the time I get a week out of it I have a concussion.

 

One time I caught a flyback of an 8 lb deadblow hammer in the face. Everything was hilarious for two weeks.

Not really. The Novocain injections and the 8 stitches hurt more than the hammer impact.

 

I was squatting when it happened, literally knocked me on my butt.

Are you going to put any sort of a gusset from the receiver hitch down to the frame you built? I know you probably aren't going to put much weight on it, but I can see where it might snap off if you did happen to.

Throwback Friday.... playing with the one that got me started in this mess of an addiction!

Hey pullstart, my recollection of the 60s makes me think that muffler is a Cherry Bomb glasspak

[The Tuul Crib 7,332]

IRV got some head lights today . 

I put in some 1156 LEDs from Amazon on it .

and they were really brite! I lined the 

bezel with HVAC silver tape which seemed to help!

I think you're right! Looks to be about an 18"... Have a set of 18" on my dad's 70 Charger. I think the Superbee has 24", which are a little quieter.

It is a Cherry Bomb, with a Honda Shadow Spirit 750 muffler silencer welded into it.  It’s pretty darn quiet actually.  Here’s a quick walk around with it running.

Wow! That sounds pretty dang good. I expected it to sound a lot different, but I guess they respond differently to a small single cylinder engine than they do to a big block!

Picked up my 312 after lunch with the new 

37SD deck mounted and properly leveled. 

 What a difference the new deck and clean carb makes.👍 the picture taken after dark does not do it justice. 

Cuts beautifully.  

 I loaded up the 857 and hauled it to storage. 

  Thinking I'll keep the 312 for lake front duty and sell the 857.  But I love the little square hood too. Hard to part with it.

Why not keep both for when one is in for maintenance?

I replaced the out side PTO bearing. It had got so bad It was shaking the deck. The deck has mowed 2+ acres for 41 years so all the lift hardware is loose. I had ordered some spindle bearings many years ago and a bearing with a John Deere no. had got mixed in.  I checked it out and found it to be the same bearing as the Wheel Horse no.109842  so I bagged it marked for the PTO.  I found it in my box of extra  parts, I try it out later today.  I also installed new 3/4" C-clips as the old ones were getting lose.

Finally got a round tuit.

The exhaust is on the cinnamon horse.

I used a piece of an old brake band to make a spacer to go between the muffler and the chrome pipe.

 

That extra 20 plus inches of piping makes quite a bit of difference in the sound. It's a lot quieter and sounds more even.

Started cleaning up my Big Show buy, an 877. It didn't have a seat, I managed to find one there, just had to stretch the vynal back around the seat pan and reglue it. It runs dog-gone good and moves well too. No problem with the hill in my driveway.  The next project will be cleaning up and painting the wheels. Then doing the same to the wheel weights l bought there too.

Is it an actual "🍒 💣" or Walker "Thrush'' woodpecker glasspack?

[squonk 38,983]

Removed the silly putty from the new 953's fuel pump mounting location to stop oil peeing  out. Those front noses in those things are HEAVY!!!

[AMC RULES 36,954]

Sounds like tha same guy must've been working on this little Techy powered RJ I picked up from Ed Kennell at the show. Was going to try to get it running as is until I discovered this carb nightmare semi attached to that motor. I Decided to just swap rhe whole thing out instead using a K-90 I had just sitting in stock.

I’m pretty sure it’s a Cherry Bomb.  Not that I can completely recall the 6 or 7 years ago I put it on, it was given to me.  Another “I figured you could do something with this.” gift!

Dude prolly went broke from buying carb gaskets trying to get the Tecky to run right!  

[AMC RULES 36,954]

I know, right?

Who in their right mind thinks nonsense like this is gonna work?

 Like them poor Techy's don't have enough strikes going against them already.
