Morning gents. Hope everyone had a good weekend. I picked up a used swisher 44" pull behind mower over the weekend. It's missing a few nuts and bolts, but runs real good and I was able to mow a little with it yesterday. Makes for a good excuse to get the 4 wheeler out and play a little. It's a finish cut mower. I'd rather have the rough cut, but I couldn't pass up the price. The fella sold it to me as non-running and when I got it home I found and spliced a broken wire back together and it started on the first pull.

Good morning everyone! This has been my view of the world for the last couple weeks.

I learned a few things this weekend. Residential PRO snap steel roofing covers 16" not 17" like Menard's figured.............. And never lay steel after dark....

Is there any seed left in it after the pounding it took?

I picked up a decent stihl 026 yesterday it not running. Thanks to Mr. Miller from miller mods. It was bad flooded.

Ahh, yeah. That reminds me. My second set of piston rings came in the mail while I was on vacation, and I got an 026 fixed and put back together last week. Only thing that I really found wrong with it was a scored piston and a soggy fuel line. Vac and pressure were spot on. Runs pretty good now, but seems to be a pretty heavy oiler.

It is dead..... ok to take .. all the ones I'm getting lately are that way

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Man I missed a lot last night .

Good morning all. Nice out.

 

[67L36Driver]

Morning midlanders!

Missed what? Near dead in here.

Fixed a Poulan 220. New oil pump, serviceable sprocket and 14" bar/chain. Trying to resist messing with the muffler as we are upside down in him by now.[emoji19]. Labor rates for retired engineers being what they are.[emoji6]

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Good morning Carl. Looks like everyone else is still sleeping.

 

[67L36Driver]

Yeah but you going to work, I'm going back to bed.[emoji3]

Spent another 15 minutes on the 220. Drilled some holes in the muffler. Was two tiny slits. We can't abide that![emoji13]

How is the 2150 coming Kenneth?

Yup, it'll take a hurricane or hail to knock it out of a well laid swath. The rain did make the Clover and undergrowth overtake the swath, making it much harder to get picked up off the stubble.

 

[Hinerman]

Good day friends. How are all of you Swaheelians doing? Any potential charity cuts or mini-GTGs on the horizon? I miss cutting with you guys and listening to your BS. Have a good one. Carry on.....

 

[67L36Driver]

Freakin 220 won't deliver oil to the chain! And, can't find my oil pump worm drive tool.[emoji35]

New rule: All small Poulans get shoved to the end of the driveway!

new case is in waiting on muffler parts.
