102 broke a rod, look what happened!
 
Loaded the 102 in the truck to go mow the grass at Mom's old house yesterday. I got unloaded and made 1 lap around the perimeter. All the sudden it sounded like I ran over a stump, then it slowly wound to a stop.:bash2: Broken rod near the bottom from what I can tell. No window, have a better K301 to go in anyway. I got it loaded with ratchet straps and the starter. By 10am today this is what I had.

My first restoration has officially begun! :beerchug:

Will do jay! I decided to pull the motor when I got home and it spiraled out of control after only taking 20 minutes to get out. I would have been to this point by 10 last night but decided to wait for daylight before I flipped it to pull the column and drive shaft.

I still swear that the engine bolts is what holds it all together! The same exact thing happened to mine when my oil pan gasket was leaking. Took the engine out next thing I know it was exploded all over my shed

That's cool,restore and save for another 30yrs.

That's one reason I still really like those early narrow frames.. They are so stinking easy to work on.. True rugged simplicity that works and will still be working 50 more years later!!:beerchug:

Time for a spray gun, mask, and a few quarts of Case/IH ironguard paint! The only problem after painting mine is that I can't imagine ever cutting grass with it. It'll get dirty!

Got the grease knocked off.
 
Did some power washing and drained the rear.

Well, I have not made much progress on the restoration. I have really been missing my NF, so I pulled the 67 out of the barn and put the "good" K301 in it. Added a 3 point, headlights, changed dashes, and did a half fast steering box rebuild. I put the blade on it today and drove it around the yard. This thing is nice, don't let the po's paint job fool you! I love these NFs!:beerchug:
