Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[little possum]

Been out ridin around on the JD H and the IH H troubleshooting and test runs before the Southeast Wheat Threshers reunion. Sister wants to do the ride through the country with all of them. I cant afford to run mine that long! hah 88degrees, too hot to be out messin with them anyway! Got some decent pictures though.

I rebuilt and cleaned it with no change in the way it ran

All passages clean new jet new gaskets

Cleaned fuel pump including the breather on it

Shouldn't be the carb then.

Just had nother idea , the fuel tanks have a screen in them , wonder if its half plugged ?

100% mowing grass ! Way to much grass !

I know the feeling. Thought I was done once I mowed mine today, 2 neighbors yesterday. Sprayed the grass and weeds along my pine trees and then went to do my neighbors since he's still layed up recovering from knee replacement. I was there and his other neighbor calls, "you still cut grass? Yep. " Lawn #4 for the weekend and a few extra bucks, now his place looks better than it has since the spring.

FIL says to use bee and wasp killer on the carpenter bees and than I'll wood putty them up. Will repaint it one night this week or next Friday. Need to get paid again before I go buying paint.

I've got a 5.5HP Craftsman Motor on a pushmower with a bad self propelled setup. Can I use that on a wood splitter? I guess that it would be a vertical shaft motor and aren't horizontal shaft motors usually used? Just curious. Either that or I want to find a go cart that needs a motor for my 11yo.

Stuck in the stone age, sent the pics to sister cause shes got a smartphone.. Hopefully she will load them up for me since I moved the IH to get her Deere out, then fueled and started hers. Got mine going while she was ridin one of the dogs around in the yardcart. Then run outta gas and she had to pull me home.. Then she went back off and run out so I had to take moms mower to pull her home.
Mom mows right around 5+acres here. Cuttin 120" at a time with the swisher. Bota has internal problems that will not let mid shaft engage. Gonna have to tear it down and stick it in the corner. Boat has first priority then the 454 IH with stuck piston. Somewhere there is the mudtruck, k10 restoration, dirtbike, maybe a motorcycle. Hahaha Babysittin a friends 95 z28 camaro right now A lot of fun to drive !!! May need me a fast car lol

LOL. That would be nice. They pay me but I don't charge like a business. I do okay and it pays to take care of the lawn tractor and helps pay for the new lawn tools like my Husqvarna 128LD trimmer/combo kit, backpack blower and hopefully future zero turn to make things quicker for me in the future. If I can get a few more lawns and a trailer then I'll be able to score a splitter and zero turn a little quicker.

Vert shaft motors can be used. But ours shook pretty bad. But cheap motors, are cheap motors Ol 5hp split a lot of wood before givin up

You can mount the pump either way.

I just sprayed them bees with bug spray then plugged the holes with caulking. Haven't had any more trouble with them ? I do re-coat the deck every other year. Maybe that helps ?

Gots to kill the larva....????

I read that if you seal them in they won't burrow to get out and without pollen or food to eat goodbye bees.

Used that way by many .

Good old fasion brake wash / parts cleaner in areosol cans work great for insect killing , kills them fast as long as you're using the type that has the most and longest warnings LOL
