And it’s covered in automotive stuff. I've done that too.... but as we all know the BBT isn't exactly the average either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's how it always is, there's no other way in life. It's still better than going and buying a new green thing though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy N. 2,378 #24157 Posted Wednesday at 01:30 AM I noticed during the last few months of mowing with the refurbed 312-8 that one of the fuel tank captured nuts had developed a seep. No worries, had some about to expire fuel tank sealant at work so I sealed up both captured nuts and add a flat washer. Leak check was good using the blue dinosaur juice. 3 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 41,856 #24159 Posted Wednesday at 09:03 PM (edited) Started on the 314A project. Added Sta-Bil and fresh fuel. Tuned the carb ...opened low idle jet almost 1 turn, high jet was OK Started soaking fasteners with PB Cleaned up the hub caps and wheels Jack up one wheel and spin it while using the wire brush on a grinder, then aluminum foil rub. Ya think the fronts were well greased Pete? Edited Wednesday at 09:03 PM by Ed Kennell 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 1,482 #24162 Posted yesterday at 02:58 AM Today, after giving my yard a haircut. I attempted for the 5th, 6th and 7th time to make a headlight lens for the C-141. By the 7th time SUCCESS! It’s still a work in progress, as I’m painting in the black part that’s like the original in a bit at a time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 12,173 #24163 Posted 21 hours ago Unsure if you're planning on it, but if you're going to use that tractor at night, some LED bulbs will make a world of difference. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still need to wire up the headlights but I figured the lens is a small fairly quick morale booster project. Both of my other tractors are LED so yes it does. Eventually, I’ll get there.

The LEDs run cooler, as well, so less likely to warp your new bezel! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 1,482 #24167 Posted 9 hours ago When I started… What it looks like now. Today was more progress on the new Bezel. It just has to dry fully then test fitting and tweaking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
