OldWorkHorse 3,016 #11878 Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) So decided the 1257Heavy needs a snorkel, no reason just needs 1... so made a adapter and have sum 90° silicone intake elbows coming in so somthing should come together. Also have 2 K&N air filters coming. 1 is the wrong size but the jungle site don't mess around and had that shipped within 2hrs of me ordering it so couldn't cancel it. I'll find a use sumwhere. Kinda nice having a engine sitting around for a template. Edited June 16, 2021 by OldWorkHorse 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 60,218 #11879 Posted June 16, 2021 @Snoopy11 how hard is it to pull start a 50 hp engine? Got any videos? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,324 #11880 Posted June 16, 2021 Got the “new” plow blade lubed up and working well… was very bad rust. Wear bar was almost to the bolts, which broke off with a slight turn to the right… Decided I’m just giving this one an oil bath Flipped bar, put it back on with stainless hardware to add some bling to the patina, and she’s ready for winter!!! 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will make a video soon... just haven't had the time yet. Tomorrow is going to be a really big day... so maybe I will get to making a video by this weekend. I have to get it uploaded on youtube once I do... so hopefully it will be coming soon! I will say... it is just about as hard to start as any of my other engines. You would think... as big as the engine parts are... it would be really hard to start... but really... as long as you give it a little gas when choked and move it to run quickly... I only have to pull it once or twice to get going. Regards, Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,142 #11883 Posted June 16, 2021 @SylvanLakeWH , love the oil bath reference the oil soak is so simple and saving to any metal , I don't even think about it , been doing it for so long , also did my springs to blade bolts years ago , just looking at the change , why not ? you want to retain patina ? give it a couple of oil rub downs . keep it oily , pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse 3D 3,651 #11886 Posted June 17, 2021 Last night finished up Dug's prep. Got the grease gun after all the zerts, popped on the now red front bearing caps, and finally got the LED ornament wired in to the lighting switch. Now to switch gears to camp prep for the next couple of evenings to be sure everything is there, serviceable, and have all I think we'll need. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 60,218 #11887 Posted June 17, 2021 Washed the show rigs, the haulers, and started loading! This deck is 12” shorter than Norman’s deck over bed setup. I have a feeling the Farm Truck won’t even know 5 tractors are on top of it! 4 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 8,684 #11897 Posted June 17, 2021 Doing a compare test today after Mowing. instead the Makita Accu pressure washer i used today the normal House Water Hose to clean it up. The Difference is - impressive as i found. First the Pict with the Makita Battery Pressure Washer (12 Bar) and 7 Litres of Water Next Pict with just Spray it down with the hose connected to the House Water system ( 4Bar) and about 20-30 litres of Water My own compared results confirms for me, that thing is definitely worth it‘s money. At least i finished a little Project. Will try it at the comeing Weekend how it performs- if it don‘t rain. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
