Today I finished rebuilding a different carb for my 1282. I got to hear it run for the first time since I bought the tractor. :biggrin2.gif: The old carb was rusted shut so I used a carb from an old 10hp Kohler I had, changed out he linkage and new float too. Runs real smooth, without skipping a beat. I was really expecting the engine to smoke but I got lucky and it didn't.
I changed two of the tie-rod ends a while back. Today I thought I'd get a better tire alignment and while doing that I broke the one that didn't get changed. Looks like Monday I have a new project after I see my local NAPA dealer.
Started sanding the grill shell. I think that will get painted along with the front and rear axles soon.
