Have a nice Holiday Weekend!So from the replies the votes are in and for now it is run it like you stole it.
When I got home from a very good day at work,
I completed both projects that were my current workload. Grab a barley pop and down to the shop where I got the reduction drive out of the lathe, stored the indicator, and reinstalled the R.D, with shims and spacers to reduce the pedal crankshaft side play, A little more adjusting and it will be ready for chains.
But first thing tomorrow is a road trip to Minneapolis for a couple of days or more. Brother in Law Mark turns 74 and we rarely miss helping him wish he wasn't so old
I was supposed to take advantage of this Northerly trip and extend it to visit Bike Camp but that isn't working out as I had hoped. So do your best to keep this thread alive until I return.

Time is short and is always getting shorter the older we get. How time flies I guess and not enough time in a day to getSorry we missed meeting up this summer,Tom. Hope your brother in law has a great 74th birthday. I'm just 31/2 weeks away from 76 myself. I'm planning my next summer like it was a military operation.
So many people to see and much to do.
Steve.
Well, we got 1/2" of rain here this AM and now the grass will really be popping up to greater heights!Here on the Wet Coast summer has been drier than a soda cracker Rick. We now have three days of rain which of course will fall on the last long weekend of the summer. Good to hear that your getting some relief as well. Sounds like EZL will be spending quality time with his lawn mower.
Mostly evergreen trees around us but I was over at one of our local malls where they have a lot of deciduous trees getting some parts for the gas tanks a second time since the first bunch were put away so I could find them quickly and the parking lot was full of fallen leaves.
I'm not ready for the seasons to change but who is other than the skiers and snowmobile crowd.

Curtis, thanks I ordered a brandnew one off of Ebay for $40 and I see on Craig's list the prices on lawn tractors are gettingThat must be a old mower with starter windings yet! Most starters are solid magnets now, just glued in. To bad I didn’t live closer, could of gave you one. Good luck with it, now that you will have everything fixed maybe it will last a while, LOL..........Curt
Curt, take a look at this crazy/sharp young fella and his go kart, guarantee you and the fellas would get a laugh and love to seeIf I were you and have a lot to mow, get a zero turn, ya hearts when it takes money for fun stuff.........Curt.
Ha Ha, yeah when we were A LOT YOUNGERLOL. KOOL. That would be fun, but not aloud here.closest thing you could do now would, be a garden tractor with a slow moving triangle sign on it.
I built a small one back in the 50’s and the cops were after me, stoped me a few times and then had to give it up, had motor bikes after that, till I got my model A. .......Curt
Well, zero-turn would be nice but I'm on fixed budget and the idea of spending big bucks on a nice new mower and mowingIf I were you and have a lot to mow, get a zero turn, ya hearts when it takes money form fun stuff.........Curt.
I'm not set on it but I thought the fella was crazy for not strapping it down correctly. A friend of mine has a restored '67 Dodge DartLOL, my kart frame was made out bed rail and pipe for steering wheel hoop, with hard rubber tires on rear. Good thing as only last one summer before I had to park it.
After I was first married I bought one new push mower, neighbor bow ward it, and his kids put sand in the oil pan. Ever since it has been used ones, or free. Always want a zero turn but to new to by even used. No need in town now, that I sold my lake place. Got a 30” rear engine rider this summer off FB market place that had a fire and burnt the wires $150, fixed all the bad stuff and have it running now.
If the housing is cracked or broke you may be able to find another on eBay, just make sure you get the module number off the rear end while looking. Lot of tractors used the same parts...........Curt
One ole timer in a small town 5 miles from here use to ride his tractor up town to the tavern even though he lost his licenseLOL. KOOL. That would be fun, but not aloud here.closest thing you could do now would, be a garden tractor with a slow moving triangle sign on it.
