Glad to be working with the B -80- 8

[Retired Wrencher 5,847]

I brought out the old Sears 70`s vintage,conversion 10cu cart that I had to take to get my 3rd B-80 many years a go. I had this 6cu tub hanging around so put on the frame and made it work. The B-80- 8 runs and works good now after many weeks of tweaking after I bought it. I hope you enjoy the picks.

Looks great, would like a picture of how your throttle cable is hooked up, sir.

Glad to see you're putting the B through it's paces.

Love the wheel barrow cart!

Thanks Eric. Just making good use of what we have. I also have a set of deep dish tires = early 80 vintage need paint  and bearings will post when done.

I made one up several years back as a dump cart, works great. Not the best picture, but it ain't very photogenic anyway.

I love the little 7 and 8 horse kohlers! The still have some torque but sips fuel and a little quieter than their big brothers!

Nice Richard. With these it is a two part. 1. the are lighter that 10cu dump cart  2. they take up less room.

Randy I agree. I had full load going up a short hill in 3rd basically at idle walk up it like it was not there.

Chris I belive this is original set up because I never had one like this. 1. is off the starter. Also get one these to lube the cable. I had this for least 15 years. Hope this helps.

A little up date. Paint and new bearings. I like these deep dish front wheels. Cool looking from the side.

Rim looks great.  I like that gloss almond from Rust-Oleum.

I used the same paint, but in rattle can form, for my Commando 8. I liked that it wasn't pure white, but didn't look too beige or tan
