Dumb?) thought - we've got a lever steer registry. Would there be any value of building a registry for 520-8's and another for C-195's? Both of these are low volume models. Comments? I’d be up for that being a limited production machine. Unfortunatly I bet many of the stickers with the serial numbers have faded or gotten ruined somehow. My decal is holding in there still… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 71,256 #23653 Posted 13 hours ago Production numbers are something I really wish the Pond Family and later ownership companies would have released. It would be neat for us minutiae lovers and also settle some long standing questions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've ordered a couple types of steel rods for which I'll cut some pieces off and use that as a punch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not on a K341 unless you remove the other parts or break the gears. I don't want to do either of those things. IMHO the safest and easiest way is to drive the pins through unto the crankcase. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 28,998 #23666 Posted 1 hour ago Woke my pulling tractor up from hibernation. Fired right up and came out to see the light with it's hibernation slipper still on the back. Got the engine good & warm, dropped the front weight bracket off and did an oil change. Also greased & oiled all the moving parts. Did some weight rearranging. Last but not least, put its work boots back on. Ready for duty. Sure like the looks of the 26x12x12's on it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
