squonk 38,936 #1 Posted September 30, 2020 @rjg854 picked up a nice Raider Sunday and I scored a 75 B-80 with a 4 banger for a Grant and Lincoln (Yay North! ) at an online auction. Had to have Randy (THANKS AGAIN RANDY) pick it up as I'm currently on temporary lockdown. Had to install a used wheel and tire, used battery and put in some nice clean gas from a nice clean gas station. (Fred Flintstone reference) The old gas looked like Mountain Dew. Drained the tank, lines, fuel pump and carb and she took off! Deck has a hole in it. Haven't driven it yet but it sounds good! 12 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,936 #2 Posted September 30, 2020 Drove it around the yard with the deck on. Sounds good and cuts decent . The made it thru the first round of cleaning. going to have to get the hood stand welded by the lift arm and the deck fixed. Normal rot around the front roller. 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can pull the fuse and have no lights on any of them. I don't have bulbs in my C-120, don't know why they don't work on my 520 haven't check, they worked a few months ago.. My 312 is the only one the lights work on. 5:00 is quitting time anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cut back on the pranks. But I do hold a "prank" class 1 night a week. The kids love the cellophane tape on the electrical cord prongs trick. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,936 #13 Posted October 1, 2020 I was working in a school that a couple days later had some COVID cases emerge. DOH recommended quarantine for 14 days as I travel to multiple schools. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah see you have different rules there. In Maine we are allowed to go and get essential items. Quite frankly there's so many loopholes in our restrictions that there really aren't any restrictions that affect Trina and I because we are essential workers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,936 #22 Posted October 1, 2020 Because the DOH is involved, if I go somewhere and then there is an outbreak there, I can be in deep doo doo. 16 kids from a village next to mine are now quarantined because they went to some gathering and were exposed to someone with COVID. It's starting to blow up again all around here. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 8,611 #25 Posted October 1, 2020 😱 WTF Hey Mike, can you put out some disinfected fuel canister and maybe a neighbour will fill them up for you? 😇 14 day‘s can be a great Worktime if you have the possibillity to work on you horses or do other things they shorten the Time. We was also for 14 Day‘s in quarantine several Weeks ago. Here we was allowed to go out ( i.eg. into Forrest) but only without direct contact to others by keeping a wide distance free and if you wear a Mask when outdoor‘s Hope you can do something sensefully to shorten the Time, otherwise the 14 day‘s felt like a half year... 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
