Allen,
I can always count on you for support! Keep those 100's shined up!
Any projects in the works? That's neat that you have your grandfathers cart!
Regards,
Chris

I'm working one one too
 

I am having fun with the belt adj too. Just would not come loose so I cut it and drilled it and used an eazy out after heat. I going to use a gd 8 bolt with a rachet after this. I am going to repaint next spring and like that tank you made. I have some stainless strips that should work good.

FYI
 

dotoo2, Please read up on using SS in your electrolysis tank!!!! You will make a TOXIC mix.

Anytime Chris! :ThumbsUp:

I have read some articles and stainless will work but your putting your self in danger of poising your self with Hexivalant (sp) chrome from the stainless. I was very happy with the steel anodes. Reminds me I need to go out ans change a part in the tank!
My adjuster has been re-tapped by the tool shop remember its a left handed thread.
Regards,
Chris

Chris, I think you should figure out what you're going to do next. Because the speed you're going, you'll be done pretty soon:biggrin2:
Looking good, keep up the good work:beerchug:

Todd,
I laughed!
Doesn't seem very fast from my end.
But I have the mower deck for the 147 and a rototiller waiting in the wings, plus a barn fresh 125 coming with deck, snow blower and maybe even a #1 trailer, then there's the 102 or the 73 which needs engine overhaul. So I think I have way to many things in the future:) Some units I will try to just get to be functional.
I like the restoration work but it demands some cash and lots of time. having said that:).
I think I may look for some more implements. I think those would make a nice display at a local tractor show. Would like a disc and maybe a cultivator.

Cheryl told me to get those painted cub parts out of the basement tonight! That's code for spend what ever it takes get that snow thrower together!:)

January thru April you may not hear much from me as we will try to make about 200 gallons of maple syrup. Yea that's about 8,000 gallons of sap. Keeps us moving!
Regards,
Chris

Folks,
Some pictures of the progress. Cheryl keeps asking why I am spend so much money on this thing? I don't have a good answer:)
- I wire brushed the rotor and primed it.
-Removed the small bearing races and reinstalled the new bearings for the 3/4 inch stub shaft. Grease holes lined up ok.
- I used a 5/16 bolt, nut and two washers to pull the bearings into the holes.
-Completed sanding the filler on the inside of the body with the old straight line air sander and a DA.
-Primed the rest of the body.

Cheryl and I celebrate our 40 year wedding anniversary tomorrow, so we plan to go out and have a nice steak dinner!


Regards,
Chris
