As kids we had a sort of third set of grandparents. They had a Ringer in their second home. I definitely don't recall ever being allowed to mess with it. Probably a good thing. @Stepney may even have one today. I did in fact own a Westinghouse electric ironing machine from a local hotel. It was scrapped after trying to give it away for several months.. Still have a pair of Maytag wringer/tub washers (one gas, one electric) and a twin tub Easy Spindrier in service though. On the subject of bodily harm.. if I had a nickel for every time at a show some elderly gent or lady offered a tale of fingers/hair lost to the power wringers, I .. well I could have a lot of things. Another rather unsettling story came from an elderly, long retired P.I. who recounted an even earlier story relating to using such a machine in .. more questionable ways to get a fella to talk.. but I cant go into much more detail on a family friendly forum lol. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvski80085 161 #23180 Posted March 24 I have that 68 raider 9 with 10 horse hh100. I bought a 420cc predator to throw on just so I can move around easy for now. Was positive the tecumseh was locked up and tried to get it free for two weeks. Took it off the tractor and put it in the garage. Yesterday decided I would dig a little deeper. Well, It's not froze up now. I was going to remove the pto to save that and when I did the whole thing started turning over. It appears the pulley closest to the block was smashed up against it not letting it spin. Later this week I will see if I can get running. If so the 420 will go on my MB200 minibike. It feels like it has good compression. I changed the oil and normal stuff and will try starting soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blasterdad 3,043 #23183 Posted March 25 Started getting one of the C-81's ready for @Pullstart's plowday. Dropped the deck, changed the oil, & greased all the fittings. Gear oil checked, just changed last summer, no moisture. While switching out hitches I found a leaking axle seal & loose hub. I'll fix both tomorrow after work. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 70,820 #23185 Posted March 25 9 minutes ago, Ed Kennell said: Loose???, what kept that wheel from falling off? I've had a couple got loose like that. For some reason they have a propensity to go inward. Not so much out. Even a damaged set screw will have a tendency to catch up on the outside of the key preventing it from falling off most of the time. @Blasterdad You got nice new set screws? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got my set in the jungle. It is a complete set but a guy could get by with just the 1" & 1/18 bushings & broach for hubs. I think I only needed anything else but once. Cheaper sets are good nuff for hobby work. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought the broach set several years ago and have rehabbed several hubs. I am not a machinist or metal worker. I did find that for me it easier to drill and tap the new set screw hole first then line the broach up with it. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,501 #23194 Posted March 25 Finally got a-round-tuit and fixed the oil leak on my 416H. The oil drain tube elbow has been loose for, I don’t know 28 years or so, and finally got it tightened up. Had to loosen up the engine and turn it slightly to get the pipe elbow tightened, but finally…. Got-er-done! Then changed the oil, filter, greased all the fittings and sharpened the blades. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
