Re: New member introduction

Thanks, I didn't notice the washers. I actually bought this off my co-worker who bought it from the original owner, the original owner has since passed away and apparently a snowcaster was left behind. I may try to recover that somehow. My plan is to getting it functional again, tune up, oil change...

Re: What would you do?

:drink: I will drink to that, even though I don't drink much anymore. I dream of living in a tropical place with cooling breezes, where I would open a margarita bar called the Salty Rim. It also has to be nice, but I am rich enough not to care about how much money I have made. I only want it to be a...

Re: Onan intake valve seat

I remembered the name of what they needed to do! It is called staking the valve seat. And, to be properly staked the valve seat has to sit a bit deeper into the block. It is then the block material that gets moved to cover the top edge of the valve seat. Some engines use valve stakes a bone stock en...

Re: What would you do?

I have a 1975 646 that is mostly in good shape, except for the few things that are not and are the opposite of peaceful. I have a perfectly good new short block; all I have to do to the new block is match the crankshafts. The carb will need to be rebuilt. It did start and run well. The engine just h...

What would you do?

I was first known on the forums as ssmewing, and then later, I became Hemlock Case Guy. So, as Hemlock Case Guy, I have fixed an endless line of tractors. Most were no quotes, but I will tell you how it is going. I call it going down the rabbit hole. But, you truly can have no idea what you are goin...

Re: Marketplace rant

Marketplace has wrecked so much of what once was a Craigslist domain. You are certainly right about finding parts. I believe you could be told what exactly is the most sold item on Marketplace, and if you were to do a search verbatim for that item, you would get at most three items that are close to...

Re: Onan intake valve seat

I'm still in awe at what this guy tried to pull. I'm disappointed I let it sit with him this long and continued to let him practice damaging my engine. He denied dropping the engine on the ground. Said he hit it with a hammer. Caught him in multiple lies. Said he did another Intake valve seat on an...

Re: Ez Adjust Clutch

I did see that posting on the other site from Robinhood. :peace: Harry Maybe copy and paste this in a PM from you and a nobody. Using my name may get you in trouble. Otherwise, you read it. He is about to spend a lot of money. Try to talk him into going back to a regular 1/2" nut so that the t...

Re: Ez Adjust Clutch

The EZ-Adjust clutch is EZ. The instruction manual from Case is well written. Things have forever gone wrong when people use parts that are not in that little bag or whatever has the part number on it. This part was from Case, which makes it 100% correct. In this case, the part is 129-125. The parts...
