MainelyWheelhorse 1,724 #24427 Posted Thursday at 02:33 AM Today was wash and touch up day for the M &G. All three tractor got a wash, Armor All and the 308 and 312 were touched up with touch up paint. I also sanded down the C-141 hood smoother as I was on the fence about doing it and wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out last time. I figured I’d try again. 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mow them short, so they look more like grass. Every time the State resurfaces the road they come back fill in beside with trash that came out of a side ditch some where.

ebinmaine 73,314 #24430 Posted Thursday at 11:23 PM We covered up the trailer full o' tractors so they'll be happy and dry. Patiently waiting for @JCM and @Raven 's Meet n Greet in N Berwick next weekend. Other fun was drag push pulling shoving the non running 520H from beside the workshop to the interior of it. First we removed the mowing deck. Looks solid. Once in the shop I popped the rear wheel weights off. These were originally marketed by JD and were painted their yellow 🟡 over the original white ⚪️ base color. They're around 50 lbs each and stackable! I have two sets thanks to @Stepney so mebbe I'll do just that..... 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 7,255 #24441 Posted yesterday at 12:56 AM Can't find anything with that number. Tell us width of cut, side or rear discharge? I see you have a 200 series with 10 HP and 5 speed transmission.

MainelyWheelhorse 1,724 #24443 Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM Today I missed a spot on my painted C-141 hood yesterday so after work I tried to touch it up. That ended up needing to be peeled off to the previous layer with a lot of elbow grease, time, and thinner. I’ll try again tomorrow. Apparently spray paint and paint gun paint are different. It’s all a learning experience. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 73,314 #24450 Posted 23 hours ago Messing about with trying to start/ run/drive the 520H. Got the wiring connected. Turns over great. Fuel filter was cracked so I took th air cleaner off and changed the lines and filter from pump to carb. Here's how it WAS connected. Yes that's right side up. No it's not correct. I can't flip the pump because the holes are offset. Here's how it IS NOW. I want to believe that I have it connected right. But I don't. Or the fuel pump is not pumping enough. The way it sits right now I cannot use the primer to push fuel through. If I reverse the bottom two which makes it theoretically connected backwards, I can use the primer to fill the carburetor and it will run for a minute or two but then die when it's out of fuel because it's not sucking through the pump. Thoughts comments questions suggestions? I'll try again tomorrow... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
