John, there are a few in OH, I checked :p

Also some on CL here, but neighbor down the road has one in the barn.. haha

Would it be better than a tractor trying to plow my garden? 70hp JD doesnt fit too well. by the time I let it down, Im done to the other side. lol

Haven't really looked yet. My Brother has a small Ferd 4x4 tractor i am trying to get. It needs lots of work ! Motor and hood. Think the block is cracked.
Plus it has turf tires !
 
Poor Burt!

I like spark testers. I have the cheap $5 kind. It works OK, but I recommend spending a bit extra to get the kind with a length of wire between the tester and clip. Makes it a lot easier for saws.

Thanks for the advice and good luck with the 450!

Bout ready to send this MS170 to Ron ! LOL

Stihl tossing contest !

I throw first,then he does. Winner gets to burn it !

The noise was from the new coil rubbing the flywheel. The guy I got it from did that.

Great spark,getting plenty of fuel,compression is 125 , little low but should stihl fire. But it won't hit a lick ? Pulled the flywheel to see if it had spun,nope good shape. Pulled the carb apart,all looks fine. No scoring or anything I can see pulling the muffler.
Time to tear it all the way down to have a look see ? My only guess is compression is just to low ? But it pulls fuel in,seems it should fire ?
Just going to check the piston,maybe new rings and seals. ................................... Sometime ? LOL
 
Mowed the dog lot, weedeated, tilled the garden, tore the 3point and tires off Bota, and still done before 3? Just cant get motivated today.

Turf tires will work well enough with weight.

I made 6" extensions out of 8" dia stock. Filled the wide tires with fluid at 5-6 psi.

That Gravely 812 would waddle up most any hill.

Let me know if ya ness extensions on the Furd.

And there is a tractor graveyard near me too. Has some lil 4X4s too.

What i found last time,,on a small steal,,with that problem was the crank bearing was bad on the coil side,,causing it to hit the coil under compression.
with plug out,pull over easy,,good spark,,plug in,,spark but air leak...
I got 30 feet out of one,,,how far you get !! ??
