Good morning everyone, it's going to be warm and muggy today, had a couple of pretty good showers yesterday afternoon. Having coffee and waiting for a buddy to show, so I can repair the starter on his mower. Play safe and have a good one.

Afternoon all. Back home from worship. Glad to be in the A/C for the afternoon. I think I'll spend some quality time in the basement with some saws.

Not too bad in the shop with the fans but I went out side & the humidity hit, felt like it was 20 degree hotter!

 

[Hedgerow]

Is that being serious or are you just messin' with me?

Those craftsman lawn tractors are famous for blowing that fuse that's on the right side of the tractor, under the hood, back up near the ignition...

 

[workshop]

Will they still crank the engine with the fuse blown? My neighbor has a Craftsman rider that cranks but won't start.

Got the neighbors rider figured out. They put a new coil on it but didn't have the gap set correct. 1buisness card adjusment later and it fired right up. He's happy now. I told him that's what neighbors are for.

Getting some rain here, severe storm warnings for the next 30 minutes. They are getting hammered over in Kansas and supposed to be heading this way, but the sky isn't showing it yet.
Matt I have worked on a ton of Craftsman riders and might have replaced one fuse, but that is a place to start if it won't turn over.
The tornado sirens are going off, later Jim

Yup, deputy daughter (aka chicken little) called from Gower for us to go to the basement.

 

[Mo. Jim]

Still getting a lot of rain, but I think the worst of the storm went around me. A tornado was spotted a few miles south of me. Havn't seen any of the 60 mph winds and golf ball size hail they they reported with this storm.

I spent some time outside, and sweating does no good. Has Kansas melted and slid down the river to Louisiana?
I got my TS360 running today, have some crete to cut tomorrow. All I had to do was gas it up and drop start it a bunch of times. I was a good boy and idled it dry last year, so no issues.

Emerson is teething, so a bit fussy. About to usher in the Fang Dynasty......

I was looking for an old thread that had great saw carb tuning info, and the link was expired or something. Does anyone remember where it is?

Hope everybody is doing well.

No nuthin if that fuse blows...

Put the land plane to use yesterday mainly using a chain to drag it. When I hooked to the draw bar, the pull point was too low & it wanted to pull the skids into the ground so I hooked the chain higher on the trailer hitch mounted on the 3 pt to where it had a slight up pull. With the blades level to the bottom of the skids it did well. I haven't tried it with the cutting edge lowered yet.

While dragging the drive, one of the neoprene "T" connecting the fuel lines broke. They get brittle with age. There are 6 & if one fails you have to replace all 6. This set lasted around 12 years. About a 45 minute job. So,---- I will be swinging by the dealer on the way home, about 15 miles out of my way, not too bad.

Oops, I forgot, Morning All!
