That's why we load it with the skid steer and dump it when we get to the destination...;)

Dang! I don't even have a decent lawn tractor. I still mow my yard with a 1983? John Deere 38" cut 11.5 hp rider. The thing won't die!

Some day I'll have some money for toys. Until then I'll just keep looking at all the good ideas you guys have and planning...

I really really wish i could come up with a way to mount a wild thing coil to an XL925! If I machined a retro fit kit I bet I could sell them!

I'm working on making a Wild Thingy coil work on a Pioneer Farmsaw. I've almost got the kinks worked out with some minor hillbilly machine work. If I ever get it going I'll do a thread on it.
 
Hey mark, looks like Levi's little shindiawa has a coil issue...
It'll run like a top till it gets some time on it, then it'll just cut out and it's done..
WHOP!!!
Let sit for a whole and come back, and she'll start again... Spark is weak when it's there even..

Once mine got warm it would backfire and quit. Spark was decent until the saw was about 10 or 15 minutes in to a good run. Let it cool down and it would run like a top again. This was my solution:

You can buy it now for more money; I was in no rush so I just put in the minimum bid and got a couple other things when I won the action. I know it's Chinese, but the OEM's are pricey. I have about 3 tanks on the new coil and it's done fine so far. The only part I replaced was the part next to the carburetor.

That would make it more of a challenge. Do you change out both parts or one part at a time?

I only replaced the part of the unit near the carburetor. They call the part next to the flywheel the "ignition exciter" and the part I replaced was called the "ignition coil". Go figure?
