Side panel screws
 

Made some screws for my 1250 side panels. Thumb screws, couplers, T-nuts and red Loctite. Makes it easier to get to the fuel shut-off valve.

Why would you need to get to the fuel shut of valve that often?

Most hardware stores carry wing nuts and bolts....

I like it! Anything that makes life a little easier is a good thing!

Cool, the panels seem to have to come off as quickly as I install then back on. Especially while I continue to iron out kinks. This would make the removal that much faster.

I shut it off every time I'm finished with it.

Yes they do. That's where I got these. I wanted something one piece, the right length, and something so I didn't have to deal with washers. This is what I came up with.

Why? :Unknown:

Do you shut the gas off on your truck when you put it in the garage?

I always shut the fuel off on the 784 but i added a shut off right before the fuel pump so all i have to do is lift the hood. I once had a Cub that developed a pin hole in the float and it emptied a full tank of fuel on my shed floor, sure wish i would have shut the fuel off on that tractor, took forever for the smell to go away.

Why? Because with a gravity fed fuel system there is constant fuel pressure on the carburetor if there is fuel in the tank. There may be a week or even longer between mowing times. I've walked in my garage and it reeked of gas. The pressure forced gas out any orifice it could find. So, I now shut it off and run it dry and haven't had that problem since.

My truck? It's not gravity fed.

Nice setup there Mr wnkl.:beerchug:

I shut my fuel off too.:ThumbsUp:

But what do I know. I clean my spark plugs too.

It only leaks if the needle valve in the carb is bad. Put in a new one, and leave the gas on. Easy fix, and no need to take the panel off all the time. Really no need to change the tractor over a cheap fix.
