149 getting some TLC
 
1 Attachment(s)
Now that the weather is cooling off I decided to get off my lazy butt and get started on some issues with my 149. Trans linkage is shall we say sloppy at best. It also has a leak that I'm pretty sure is the infamous cork gasket. Haven't run it since the spring when I tilled the garden, put a battery in it, turned on the gas and the old girl fired on about the 2nd turn, unbelievable. It's up on the lift and ready to work on.

Fix the tranny linkage and the leaking cork gasket.

Seat is just fine, I only use the 149 to till the garden. It has the Super Exclusive IKEA seat cover and that is covered with a Generic seat cover. All good in the tushy dept.

This one is all about the go and not about the show. :beerchug:

Sam, I'm jealous of your lift. That's pretty nice.

Glad it's getting fixed up Sam, nice lift!

Big Thanks to Cubcrazy for the tip on the lift. It is a back saver. :beerchug:

It COULD be about the show, just saying..... I mean after all, you got to take the rear all the way out, and clean it up just to replace a $3 gasket. Now if you were to go ahead and apply some paint and decals, it won't seem like near as much work.:BlahBlah::BlahBlah: You're right about the show, I wouldn't waste time on blacking the tires, they'll just get dirty next spring.:biggrin2:

You NEED to splurge for some heat in one corner of that shop! :biggrin2:
How in the heck do you spend all winter indoors watching daytime TV? Besides, if you stay in front of the computer all day, how are we gonna stir up any mischief?:bigthink:
