Mowing with the 128
 
Had to mow a little bit today, so I decided to play around with my new video camera. This sure isn't anything special...just something to look at!

Cub Kong,

Looks like you are giving it a thorough inspection :biggrin2.gif:

Cub Kong,
I counted four wrenches and two pairs of pliers. That's almost all it takes to tear it all the way down and apart. Oh wait. You know that already. :biggrin2.gif:

Nice work, Cub Kong! Please keep us updated, on the progress of your Original. :beerchug:

Let me tell you a lil about my original. First off I feel I stole the thing at $100.
Second I bouoght it sight unseen. It belonged to a guy I know and he claims he bought it new. He told me he had a buddy put a new short block on it years ago and it never ran right so he stuck it in the shed and forgot about it.
I started messing with it this morning and figured I'd see if I could get it to run. I looked it over and put fresh oil in it and tried it and it fired right up.
That would have been cool but the hammer in the engine took the fun out if it. When I checked over the engine I missed the throttle cable going straight to the carb (no governor) I didnt over rev it but someone had years ago and knocked the rod bearing out and scored the cylinder a little. So now I've got to find a rod. I think the piston will live. had real good compression and when it was running it didnt smoke.:OhOh:

I sure am, its seems to be a tough tractor!! I think that its my favorite with the 1862 coming second. The 127 is my daughter's, so she thinks!!! The 1882 with loader is just plain cool...but I don't use it much.
