We'll take you out on our forest trails. Rough. Terrain. Mebbe hike across the street. I'm willing to supply coffee. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ML3 2,441 #26604 Posted Saturday at 03:03 PM Got the Bervac swapped onto 416. Also swapped rear hitch, larger wheels/tires from Workhorse. Still have a few more preventive maint items to get done. Got lift assist springs installed/adjusted & 150lbs of weight on hitch. Now I gotta figure out what to do with the Workhorse. Be nice to have it for parts but dont really want it sitting around...... 20260814_133023.mp4 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 3,502 #26607 Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM (edited) Installed front wheel weights on my 312-8 Edited Saturday at 06:07 PM by sqrlgtr 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,682 #26608 Posted Saturday at 07:55 PM Did a diesel fuel flush and gear oil change on the 161 before installing the ARK for the first time. Lessons learned...black hoods are too wide to clear the hydraulic pump and a shaker plate calls for an inch or so shorter belt It's always something. 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 2,973 #26609 Posted Saturday at 08:30 PM Mowed the Fire Station and my lawn. Halfway through my lawn I broke a deck belt. Fortunately when the deck belt broke on the 312 it was at my house and not at the Fire Station. The 308 finished up the lawn, but that is needing attention as it REALLY doesn’t like running the PTO under load. It’s to the extent it starts sputtering, spitting black smoke and shutting off at idle. I’ve got that other running M12 if needed though. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an engine here, but no good way to get it to you. There are NOS engines on ebay. Old Craftsman tractors may also yield a usable engine.

Direct bolt 🔩 in replacement. Super common tractors too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super common tractors too. Been searching since Oct of last year for an engine w/no luck.....and yes looked for Craftsman engines too. Even tried to find a Kohler, Vanguard too. Im out a lot less $$, time, & aggravation with the 416. Was gonna part out 1848 but dont want a dead tractor sitting around. Probably just sell it cheap & hopefully with the 37" deck too. Just really want it out of the way. I live in town so space is limited 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 9,129 #26616 Posted 2 hours ago I installed new rear anti scalp rollers on my 42" SD deck. No bushings needed in the new rollers, as they have a 1/2" bore. Rounded edges on the rollers too - should cut down on the axial load on the snap rings that retain them. No, I didn't have my phone with me so no pictures. Y'all are just going to have to believe me!
