| Thanks and yeah, just went with a bit heavier stuff this time because I'll be at haspin running for hours in the heat. Figured go a tad thicker than usual. It doesn't seem to use much oil or smoke, but it has a lot of hours on it from when it was on the walk behind mower it used to power.
My eventual plan for after haspin is to build an I/C engine and use a pumper carb like a tillotson. Something that won't dump gas out the vent every time there's a little vibration. When I changed the oil after haspin last time and also recently this time, I noticed aluminum filings in the oil. Not heavy flakes or anything, just very fine aluminum mixed in. This time is wasn't that heavy, but it had less run time between changes this time. I think some is normal but I'd rather not see much at all. I think most of it probably comes from the cylinder wall. It's also possible that my previous airbox issues let some haspin dust through in 2016 which may have accelerated cylinder wear a bit.
From what I can see above the piston today with the head off, it's fairly well worn but no serious gouges. The original cross hatching is barely visible in places. The spark plug was pretty decent, no serious carbon build up from burning a lot of oil. So I don't think anything is going to change really quick with that. The extra compression from the new head may be a little harder on things, but we'll see. | |

| Greased all the joints and oiled up everything. Did a short test run to try things out and the jackshaft brake works perfect. It will go right into gear if you hit it before shifting. Only issue is the band broke where I had it bolted together. But I have a wider piece to use so all I need to do it cut another band to the right size and it should hold together this time. The brakes work 100% better with the flat side of the belt on the hub too. Everything seems to be good to go. Have it back at home now and I might take it to a swap meet to ride around on saturday just to test things a bit further before haspin. | |

| Previously I didn't notice much performance issues with the brakes when wet. Maybe a different story with the flat side down but who knows. I was happy with the extra stopping power, they work way better this way. As good as any brakes I would say. We'll have to see how they go on hills.
And thanks mightyraze, I'll be trying to get as much footage as I can! | |

| Yeah I think it should work really good, especially once I get used to it. I should have done that a long time ago, just never got to it. Now all the temporary stuff I had rigged up for haspin 2016 is finally fixed up. Only things I would still like to add is a back up light and maybe a 12 volt outlet in the dash. And it needs a small tool box somewhere. Maybe under the seat opposite of the battery, there's some space there. | |

| Thanks guys and yeah an ammo box would be great on the other side. Only issue is I think they are a bit too tall to fit under the seat. And probably even if it fit, the lid swinging open wouldn't clear too well either. I may eventually have to make my own box if I can't find anything else. But one way or the other, I really do need a permanent spot for a tool kit, even if it's just basic stuff. | |

| I'll try to find a picture, on my old utility trailer i had a 25mm can on it to hold straps and stuff. It was to tall so I cut it down and welded the bottom back on and it had 2 latchs, i converted it to hold downs so I didn't need 5" on each side to open the lid | |

| Those engines are heavy though mattD, cast iron block. I think a lot bigger too. Actually, the guy who gave it to me wants the engine and wheels back. I always get stuff from him, he's got all kinds of mower stuff. He had a few suburbans but now he's clearing out some of his older stuff.
And bigasmowers, I need the trans! Actually I was thinking I could build a second simplicity if I ever found another one to get parts from. Who knows though. | |
