Important that they get built properly!

Personally, I’ve gone down to a 12oz hammer but with a longer handle--seems easier on my arm and just as much power.

I still like a 16 Oz hammer for framing. 

 

Going in tomorrow for a rebuild on my right hand eyeball tomorrow.  Opted for the de-luxe replacement lens with astigmatism correction.  

 

If it turns out as well as the left eye rebuild, it will make my accuracy much better when using the 16 Oz framing hammer.

Finished transaxle drain and refill on the 12hp-8 No Name today. New shifter boot, magnetic drain plug and swapped the 8.50’s for some 10.50’s on back. Oh yeah installed bolts/studs on back wheels. Made mounting the loaded Carlisle alot easier.

LOTS of practice here.  

 

And a VERY well set up machine.

I guess you can train a Bahher to do anything.

Man, I really wish my 314 was an auto with a hydro lift.  That makes plowing look so much easier.  Not that its hard, and my tractor does great as is, but wow that's MUCH more efficient than all the monkeying I have to do with my levers to get my driveway done.  I suppose one of these days I'll have to bring home a dedicated plow tractor.......or maybe a good roller that I can swap all my guts and mods over onto.

Put a electric fuel pump on a 520. Only real place to put it near the tank. Had to remove the rear rockshaft which will probably go in classifieds since I have a dedicated tiller tractor. Anybody have a tip for getting the cable tube out?

We were building the red one Jimmy was using the 10 oz hammer.

Fred and I built the blue one and the 5 sided screen porch between.

Fred and I also repainted the red one in 1990.

The base of the red one is 72' square and the blue one is 60' square.

Need to slide google map to the left for the picture.

Hydro tranny with foot pedal motion control and hydraulic lift...only way to plow when you have 5 driveways to clear.

Today I plowed off what my nephew didn't get last night off my driveway with the 308. While I was at it took out the C-141 for a ride and got it mildly stuck on slush/ice. I also figured I'd stretch the legs on my ATV as well and in the process of plowing moved my Snowmobile to plow around it. Then took that for a spin.

Installed some seat springs on the 73 12hp-8 today No Name. Robbed these off a 73 14hp-H No Name. Rob Peter to pay Paul . The 14hp-H is/was a running mochine when I drove it in the shed, smoked a little but ran and had strong Hydro.

You ever get a sudden desire to pop up to Maine lemme know. 

I have 3 hydros here of various types in various stages that need new homes.

Pliers and some colorful language should get the tube out after the clamp is removed.  What kind of monster fuel pump did you put on there?
