Some sort of craftsman... and more!

Got a couple items from an engine show/flea market.

This shroud should fit my 11hp briggs.
Peerless 700 #2!

In all cost $22!



Any ideas what this is? Fancy looking breather? I didnt really look that close...

Nice! That might be a fill plug thing for putting oil in it. Not sure. Any plans for that 700 Beal?

Looks like a neutral safety switch.

No not really.
Maybe just keep it for a spare for one of these "things" Im trying to build.

Ah, that's always a good idea. Having spares for different "things" hahaha.

You never know what sort of "things" may come about.

haha yeah... who knows, maybe Ill actually get one working!

Any over half way?

Not even close...

Went dumpster diving.... 1 wheel peel Manco yard kart. Asked about it, guy said he was tired of it sitting around and that I could take it. Dont have to tell me twice...





No plans at the moment.. took the wheels off and hung it on the side of the shed...

Yalls should be proud. I did something today...

Visited the Garbage MTD. Some fool left the seat down...


Had this deck pulley...


Drilled some holes and mounted it, Ill notch it tomorrow. Too dark for this nonsense now.


Oh, and The Craftsman Thing says hi!

Beal's doing stuff again!! Break out the good China! Haha, is that pulley gonna affect airflow though? Might not be any air getting past the fylwheel screen.

ehh, I dunno.
There is about a 1/4-ish gap between the shroud and pulley. Gona see if I can find some longer bolts, then I could stick some spacers under it.

Yeah, you'll just have to wait and see I guess, haha. You should be drifting that thing around in the snow right now! Looks like you got enough to have some fun.

Need some gas first... but still, I really dont think its going to do much. But... maybe i can try it.

Use a smaller idler pulley cause if ya use that pulley in the summer it will over heat, might be fine in the winter tho, but you might want a smaller pulley to get more rpms for easier starting and more airflow. Firstn time ive seen ya do something on a mower lol

What an adventure!

Notched the pulley... yeah, seems its too big. Cant get enough speed for the engine to fire. SO I pushed it out and jumped it... crappy turf tires, halfways flat fronts... in snow? Pfft. No.

Although, it it was all flat around here it might have done better... I was surprised to see how far it did do up a hill.

But yeah... its a non-snow machine... Ill keep it together for now, but i wont be doing much if anyhting to it. I busted the dash more... now the steerign wheel can move about 3in up, down and all around. You dont try to push, or pull on the steering wheel in the snow.

What a piece of junk!

Shoulda got some video of you getting stuck! I woulda liked to see that, hahaha.

Sounds fun. Can't imagine what woulda happened to it if I got ahold of it

Well, it would have made for a good video.... parts flying every witch way.

parts flying?

^^ If Richie got hold of it.

Just look at this junk!


Junk!


Doah!


Self adjusting spindles!


Why yes, that is a piece of plywood in there!



On another note... trying to get the st10 running. Came to the conclusion the fuel pump may be shot, or maybe clogged? Whatever... gona try a different pump.

gotta love those mtds

MTD superior race.
