Off Topic Anything 2023

I did the same thing with my yard trailer last year!  So much better.  I'll go out and see if I can get a pic.

Edit:

You know what they say @MightyRaze ... great minds think alike! Lol.


Alright so another project bites the dust and is up for sale!

Not sure what the dollar figure I paid on it would be, maybe $40? I got it in a package deal with the Trailblazer last year. This morning I tore it down, cleaned it up and painted it then this evening I reassembled it.

Now that I'm getting some projects cleared away I'll be able to get back to work on the Silver Bullet soon! First I'll need to almost gut and then reorganize my workshed and tools so I can actually find stuff and have space to work! Lol.

So, I have one for you guys.  Back in the late 80's early 90's when craftsman was the GT18 maybe even the newer GT6000 styling.  I remember seeing a RED Craftsman version at the local SEARS store.  It always seemed like it was their top of the line model and had a sleeve hitch and they always surrounded it with implements.  Anyone else ever remember seeing a Red square-nose Craftsman instead of grey from the factory?  I asked my dad if he remember, and he did.  I cannot find one of those online anywhere.  Almost like I dreamed it, but like I said.  My dad remembers it too.

I actually had one of those.


It seems it was painted tho

I think we can all appreciate the photoshop job and chrome hubcabs on this JD... XD

Got the all clear from the eye specialist for an eye injury from a couple weeks ago. Got home to a leaking hot water heater. Yay, good news then had to deal with the hot water heater. Luckily, it's just a screw it in and reconnect power job. Original home owner was forward thinking at some time. No solder and brazing needed.

Little limb cleanup after a storm a few days ago while they are out of town. Got their Kubota out for it.

Any tips on gx390 swapping a sears ss12?

My friend did the same swap on the same tractor, its really strait forward and if you have the engine far enough forward you can put a 8" pulley on.

Little lunchtime project today.

Replaced the old 35-watt 4 Ohm speakers on the RV that were shot and torn, with new 180-watt 4 Ohm speakers.  They work great!

Busy day around here eh!?

Seems like it. I like it.

I had been neglecting updating things for a while haha

As much as I would like to build my wheel horse, I think I will bring the GT6k up to standard for a backup tractor at LCQ. Need to go pick up another trans.

Hey man don't apologize for doing a good job and especially not to me!

So I didnt know where else to post this but i have a question about Roper/Peerless 633a.
Should I think of Hi/Lo as a low range inside the transmission like a Big Rig would have make their 6 speed a 12 speed or should I think of it as a 2 speed diff? I always thought 2 speed diff but i saw and @RCG
video on own torn apart and I was just curious. Thanks!

Something I never thought about. I just keep it in Hi unless I am using ground engaging implements, then I go low range. Flipping the lever just changes a gear ratio. Beyond that, I've never thought more about it.

Ahh ok. I uise my tractor for mostly utility based stuff so the long range is and added benefit for how i use it. Maybe some one along the way will know more. Thanks!

Straight from the manual.

It seams like to me they think of it as a low range in the diff or like a transfercase as other wise they would just say 5th gear or 3th gear instead of 2h or 3l right?

Hi Guys!
I was wondering if anyone knew if an OH160 Tecumssh Carb would
A. Work with an electronic fuel pump.
B. Bolt onto a HH120.
Just been looking for more power for my HH120 and found this carb and wanted to know if it would work, as I am currently running a K181 carb and becasue of that and the air cleaner design I do not have choke either.

Thanks!

I think yes to both. I know my tractor had an electronic fuel pump when it had the oh160. Why not use a Briggs style pump?

Simply because I already have one on my tractor as at full throttle it couldn't keep the bowl filled with fuel and we had the e-pump lying around. If I need I wouldnt mind throwing a briggs style pump on.
