How many horse powers does this modification add?

probably a couple haha !

yeah today im tearing the peerless 920 out of the rig because its all worn out and it makes a gear skipping/grinding noise.

Holy thread revival

Pulled the deck off my dad's Ryobi (MTD) rider, he shredded the deck belt. Put one of mine on but its a 1/2" instead of 5/8" so it slipps, and so I'll have to get a 5/8 belt and pull the deck off again. I am going to buy a belt for the landlord's deck so I can mow with it. Can't find a definite length for it though.

Eh I havent done much, I just got a welder but finding a place to get metal cheap is a big pain, im still hunting for a place. Whats cool is if you actually have ONE mower that ACTUALLY mows and you buy a set of flashing led cop lights, and mow the lawn.....The odd person the does drive buy is always slowing down its way to funny......Or when hauling hay with it and people come outta their houses like what the heck

I sanded down my gas tank and repainted it

pushed it over so i could mow the lawn... with a push mower....

This was yesterday, but I drove the CraftsmanQuad for the first time!! Lots of tuning to be done, but it was a lot of fun

Yesterday + the previous 2 (Stretch and I working on my tractor):
Changed the oil
Checked air filter
Replaced/upgraded tie rod
Updated clutch
Fixed frame panels that separated
Replaced front bearings
Greased spindles, wheels, and axles
Cleaned and serviced brake
Took it for a nice leisurely test drive...

I fixed belt issues, mounted hood and exhaust and brought it home. now I need to drive it more

I finished prep on my tractor for the upcoming Haspin trip with the addition of 2 flush mounted LED headlights to replace the busted up incandescents that I had on it. They are nice and bright!

I ripped all the deck lift parts out of my MTD, then welded some angle iron in on a couple spots. No more "cookie sheet" frame!

got a fnr tranny for my second electric tractor..

Added to the bumper of my murray! Tried to get it stuck but could not. :-)

staring at the widebody thinking of color I already got a black pan frame murray.

Cut the governor fan off so it doesn't murder my entire engine without the governor gear there

got my roper back in the shop so i can work on it some more.

Greetings,

I hassled with the rewiring job I have been working on for a week and a half on my JD D125, I finally got the starter working again (wasn't grounded to the engine block for some reason, even though it is mounted to it) using an extra ground wire, now to figure out why she won't crank..... oh, and recharge the battery, drained it somehow.

Put a new bearing in a pulley, made a hood cowl, cleaned up some wiring and added a 3rd clutch spring lol

Howdy guys,

I got the no spark condition figured out, my coils/magnetos have too much resistance to get good spark supposed to be 2.5k-5k, mine are sitting at 7k, so getting some spark but not enough to go vroom. Will update when I get the coils replaced.

Tested the strength my Doc Locker 2.0. Used Li'l Red to tug a 6' tall 3' diameter tree stump/trunk over that was partially cut. Held up well.

An attempt to make some lug nuts for the Sears. The angle isnt right...
I dont know that it really matters all that much but still.

Built spacers and put duals on the Sears.

My 2017 buildoff tractor I busted the sump casing.

Li'l Red I put on new front tires and played in the empty lot.

So the exhaust blew up this past winter on my ... um... Im not sure what it is, but a Sears tractor with a 14hp OHV Tecumseh.

So I fixed it!



Chicken poop welds!



Yeah, Im not sure what that little blob all by itself is doing out there... lol

spent the last coupla days reviving a dead mtd (white outdoor) 12 HP riding mower that was sitting in the yard when I arrived here in Illinois. welded the broken spindle where the tie rod bolts on, aired up all 4 flats, added oil, gas, charged battery... and WHAM! it started and ran. bit of a knock, and a good bit of smoke, but it was running well enough I cut about half the lawn.... then the death rattle occurred.

Seems that the knock I was hearing was from a LOT of rod wear at the crank, and the thing finally just galled itself to death.

Cousins son in law had an 18 hp oppy under his porch that had quit on him, he didn't know why.... so I checked the first thing every non running briggs owner should check... the shear pin was sheared. went over the engine, rebuilt the starter, added some gas and oil, and the beastie lives.

Putting an old hood on a newer tractor!
