Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

That is called talent by the way!

 

It is a Chromebook not a computer.
It owes me nothing -- almost 7 years old.

 

Caution, to follow:

This damn thing...Never had any luck with green tractors, this is my last one.



It lives at a flat downtown property, I keep it there to save me time over bringing the ZT on the trailer.
It cuts nice but is so s..l..o..w.. compared to the ZT.

After about 40 minutes of easy mowing it dies -- seems to be suddenly rich.
I was 5 minutes from done.

I had this problem last year, don't remember how I fixed it.
Before that the coil had a crack.

So I let the thing sit for 10 or so and get it started -- to go 10 feet...
Now it starts to rain.

Swearing with great gusto I shove it in the garage.

Of course I cranked on it some and it isn't good for a battery to be off full charge.
There is no electric in this garage.
I don't have any wrenches in the van to pull the battery.

Did I mention that I have it to save me time...

Just about as useful as a fire extinguisher filled with gasoline...

 

5 minutes more and I could have put off being ticked off for a whole week...

 

You have No Tools in your Van that is a scary thought.

I always Have my Multi tool All the times it has saved me from long walks.

 

Liked to Unlike

 

Jumper cables, flashlight, 6-1 screwdriver, tie downs, tire tools -- that is about it.

The van rarely goes more than 15 miles from home and I try to keep up on the important stuff -- and have a cell phone.

 

What the heck, other folks have bigger problems -- thought you fellows might get a laugh out of my day.

 

Ok folks ... my gut says Studebaker, what say you?


Dude was casually reading an actual paper copy newspaper while we waited for the light. He looked so chill and relaxed.

 

QFT ... can like this.

 

ive seen people read newspaper opened up driving!

 

He was too cool an old dude...casually laid it back on the passenger seat and drove on...it was a neat thing to watch.

Fortunately I have a rule -- always mow/trim/shovel/paint/etc the street side first.

That way if something bad happens what people see looks decent.

 

Ahhh, so I did buy a carburetor for the clunker... But didn't put it on.



I wonder if I found a problem, it came later or the new one was "identical" just not the same.

The plot thickens, I will have to drag the damn thing over here -- another day.

 

What's going on with that Subway sign

 

Told Cole to get a few things I’ve made. My MIL told me I should sell them, I said I’d rather my kids enjoy them while I’m still alive. The smiles were priceless

 

Something in front of it I think

 

That's what you get for buying a green tractor. Save up your money and get something red or orange... you know, ripe!

 

Has it got one of those *($*&(*#@(&$*(%&ing diaphragm fuel pumps? I have found that to be the cause of 99% of the problems with 99% of the engines that have 'em. A word to the wise: If you need to replace it, buy an OEM unit, NOT an Amazon, "Product of People's Engine Works #4, Beijing" model.
