In the last pic, the transfer tape has been attached to the top of the decal. You use this to help remove the decal from the decal backing paper.

You position the decal with the backing paper removed, rub the decal with Bondo spreader, then remove the transfer tape.

Rub out any bubbles in the decal. Done deal.

 

They looked good! Any more bites on the mower for sale?

 

Been quiet. We had winter weather. I'm thinking peeps are waiting for some sunshine before opening their wallets.

 

It’s amazing how weather can affect the sell of something. If I want something it doesn’t matter what the weather is

May have to redo the poll tomorrow

 

A friend worked for years in auto parts stores, he always said that he had never sold wiper blades on a sunny day.

 

Well, shit!

Shop boiler for the floor heat developed a leak.

Took it apart to reseal the leak.

The expansion tank fitting nipple was broke.

Now I have to figure out how to get those male threads out of the expansion tank fitting.

 

Internal pipe wrench.

If needed a new air scoop isn't all that expensive either fortunately.

 

They only had up to 3/4".

Gonna have to McGyver something.

 

A new 1" air scoop is $23 at Slowes.

That, I did not look for, nor did I expect it to be that reasonable.

If I can't clean up mine, it's good to know I have until 9 to make it over there.

Thanks!

Thanks

 

McMaster - Carr has a 1" internal wrench for about $23 as well.

Usually you can use a hack saw blade to weaken the broken nipple and then curl it in with a small sharp chisel.

 

That has been my recipe in the past as well.

 

Any mower/mulching blade recommendations for a cub cadet xt42? Mines missing half the blade from the previous owner lol

running into town to go to tractor supply and Home Depot or lowes so better if I can pick them up there

 

They got the good out of those

 

I’d give it another week. The weather Michigan is having right now doesn’t make most want to think about their lawns.

 

I’ve seen a hack on YouTube or IG where you grab 4 largish bolts so there is a tight fit in thebore then twist those bolts as a bunch with a pipe wrench, causes the bolts to twist and wedge and bite into the softer pipe

I’ve use the hacksaw trick before as well

 

I just got it back together. Floor is starting to get warm again.

I was able to weld a bolt inside the broke off pipe. The threads screwed right out. I'm sure the heat from the weld softened up the pipe sealant.





Zero damage to the threads!

 

Anybody know anything about this model? Seems like the last model year was 1997.
