I don’t think I ever seen a legit wheel horse with this set up!! Fix that sheet up!!

 

Is this a vote to keep it Onan powered?

 

Onan powA

 

My vote is yes. I like my '78 C161A.
Dumb question, did you try new spark plugs?

 

I haven't tried anything except drive it on and off the trailer.

 

Slacker

 

Lol. That's something I'm not often called.

 

Back to the dirty hoe on a Sunday.
Jacked up tractor, rotate valve stem, remove air and not the sealant. Tire sealant sealed off this puncture.

Pull and plug away, lost count of plugs, atleast 3 of bigger plugs maybe 9 regular plugs, I only think I push one plug into the tire. Gonna rotate plug area down and add 50% air wait hour then top off air. If holds after putting heavy loads on tractor, I will Sawzall off half of the exposed plugs. If it don't hold up, then off to the shop, I'm not removing this filled tire.

 

Damn.

 

Lol I figured, since you seem to have something always being repaired/serviced

 

Looking for advice, probably clean this area up, bend it back and weld it… or break it and weld it …. Customer states mower leaves a Mohawk stripe… didn’t see this until I took the deck off, loaded it in my truck to clean up and give it a once over…. Needs both spindles and blades…. And a weld. Only ever see the yellow decks break like this …. I’m not a fan of yellow

 

I'd cut that entire weld.

Attach it to some 3/8" plate with 4 holes. Then drill corresponding holes in the deck. Body panel washers on the bottom side of bolts to spread the stress . Bolted down it will never give you troubles again.

 

Lurking market place:

I think I found my next project. Imma gonna low ball him ta see what sticks.

 

Ran when parked. Needs battery and fuel pump...

 

In other news, just found this.

 

That's a steal if it has a 3-pt hitch

 

No 3 pt hitch. Has a good motor. Just got done talking to the owner.
I bought it.
I'll switch motors next week.

Cross your fingers mine with the bad engine can be repaired.

Then we will have 2.

 

Sweet. I don't think you'll regret that purchase. The 3-pt may be difficult to find.

 

The one already has the hitch, so I don't really care that the one I pick tomorrow doesn't have one.

It was purchased purely as a motor donor.

If I can get the bad motor repaired, I'll put it in the parts machine. I'll ask if the owner of the 1st unit wants a second tractor. She has many, if not all the attachments that came with these units. She can keep the snow blower in one and the mower deck on the other.

I like these machines, but I'm more of a Case garden tractor guy.

 

Just found this Tractor, Mower, & Trailer Talk thread and wanted to say Hi. I got a new John Deere 3025E a few months ago.
