You need someone to cut those for you???
Cause Stephen, I know, is waiting on a part for his haybine...

Yea but I got two big 40x400 problems right now. But I would love to go cutting I haven't seen a saw except for the 044 today using it to do some redneck framing inside the chicken house.

Most cuts end up within a 1/2" of what I needed, one side of the mark or the other. :msp_mad:

Man that saw looks fast in Pine.

I am pretty sure those are just aluminum decks. I have welded a few; I'm pretty sure they are not magnesium.

Feel fortunate you did not encounter during your welding efforts one of the "M" series unstamped decks Dave. And then try to douse the resulting fire with water.:D



Some are stamped magnesium Dave and some are not and are still mag decks. They also had aluminum decks.

I've seen a couple of ally decks (around 1980+ vintage) and I wondered when they started to switch…...:baffle:
 
I see you like wheelhorses Steven, I wanted to get one recently but when I came across this MF10 Massey Ferguson I couldn't resist.

Who built that for Massey ferguson Andy?
Levi's Allis Chalmers was built by simplicity.
 
I am contemplating undertaking the posting of pics on a thread here.....

Pics of a 353 Detroit.



Nothing quite sounds like a Detroit…….'specially when yer givin her hell. You just git one or sumpin? Dan gets all the cool toys, I wanna play in that sandbox :feel_good:

You ought to see a chunk of mag deck set on fire and then tossed in the river and watch it burn up under water.
Jason PM me the model# off your mower deck and I will check on a coil for you.

Jason, I've got a set of Lawnboy dealer manuals. If you need one for your mower just let me know the model number.

Sorry guys, should have lead off with that. Model# 0392 8351 Serial# 9033303. Thanks much.:bowdown:
 
How about the sound of this diesel?:msp_rolleyes:

Yesterday I was torching some aluminum fuel tanks off a semi. You know that aluminum doesn't cut as well as steel. But it cuts.

Don't worry I drained most of the fuel on the ground under the tanks before I started. :)

I'm usually not cutting tanks off of trucks; I generally weld the rust holes closed and re-install. :msp_scared:

I've got it down to a pretty good science. I haven't had one ignite/blow up for quite a few years. Even then, it was only exciting for a couple of moments. Shucks, when I was younger, I just drained them good, rinsed them out a bit with water, left the cap off and started welding. They never "light up" more than once.

BTW: No, aluminum does not cut at all, at least not any that I ever hit with a torch. You can melt it down, but you'll do better with a big heating tip than you will with a cutting torch.

Ahhh...just another example of how I lead a charmed existence. And that was long before I learned about hot magnesium and water, too. I learned about burning magnesium back in high school chemistry, though. I used to have a vial of pure magnesium chips to light up whenever I felt the need for a bright light.



....I think that may still be down in the garage...I'll have to look for that. :msp_sneaky:

No, had it for about 15 plus years. Had to resurrect it from the 'Museum'. Need a little cash.











Who am I kidding? I need a lot of cash. :msp_w00t:
