Night John. Glad you got everything done. Sit on your flippy cap tomorrow and relax. I've got tons to do. Loads of firewood, trim a row of pine branches, mow at least 2 lawns if not 3, try to fix a Ryobi weed wacker for a neighbor, and I'm sure there's more. At least I'll be loosing weight.

 

[BigDaddyR]

Is a spark tester worth having. If so is a Harbor Freight or Autozone cheep model sufficient?

Weed wacker I'm looking at doesn't seem to have spark and can't get a screwdriver to ground to body because of lack of space. Plug looks original and doesn't seem to be sparking even after using sandpaper to clean up the electrode and top part of the plug.

Just got my 12 hp Gravely Pro running tonight. Thing sounds great, there were some parts robbed off of it at some point but I was able to round up enough parts around my junk pile and online to get her going. Thing fires up nice and just purrs when it runs. Can't wait to throw an attachment on it and so how she does.

You have your days too !


This thread is where I learned 99% of what I know about saws !

There is good info in here?! I thought it was all just mindless chit chat and John on his flippy cap!

Actually the diverse knowledge here never ceases to amaze me.

She is just mad cause I forgot to stop and eat lunch again. LOL I get busy and don't think about it ?

John did you remind her that Spam and Dew isn't what most would really call lunch anyways?

Ohh yeah...Morning guys. Got the ceiling painted in the kitchen and breakfast room yesterday, load of scrap metal sold, trim painted, most of base boards and shoe pulled, and 80% of my camper interior removed.

Today we have to paint the walls and try to get the plywood under layment down on the floor. If we get that done I'll be happy but the wife thinks we'll get that by lunch.

You are right Jimmy. Wonderful knowledge little seen elsewhere.....

Hey Jimmy!!!!!

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Morning Rob. What's going on? Thought I was getting another Gravely today but just found the tractor I was to be getting on another forum...now living in VA. Seller gave directions and everything to his house and phone number. Said he couldn't meet until today so that's when dad was going to go get it. Bit pissed right now. Should call him and give him a piece of my mind....

Slept in a tad this morning.....come up with what I think is a good plan last night...gonna mock up the engine mounts that are in the boat out of a couple scrap 4 X 12s mounted on a half sheet of plywood, exactly the same dimensions/size/shape as the ones in the boat. With centerlines for the motor mounts. Have that set up on a pair of hosses on the shop floor and set the motor down onto the fake stringers and see what has to be removed. Hard to see clearances with the motor in the boat....not any extra room...... would have to use mirrors....no room to get yer head down in there to see. Some very spendy/fragil chit on the lower sides if this motor that can't be rubbing on anything. Like the fuel cooler with the boost pump....in a plastic box....and the raw water pump etc. Some "Stuff" on the motor can be rerouted....some can't.... Anyway, Then I can alter and fuss with the fake ones until I have a good fit, proper access and clearances....then move all that info into the real stringers in one shot....leaving a little extra room for new glass.....sounds good on paper anyway.....we'll sea......
