Lenn,
Thanks for the update buddy. Prayers sent for some relief from the pain. Finish your mower when you feel better. Don't overdo it.
We love you, buddy.

Prayers sent for healing. I am glad to know that it wasn't anyone on here causing you to leave. I enjoy seeing the things you build.

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
This lawn mower is one of your most exciting builds...we've all been looking forward to it. You may have been pressured by us putting pressure on you. Relax bro......pretty sure you know where I'm coming from so that means..............
Can you please have it ready before we get to page 100 on the M-1 Garand Post? Me and Gunny are fightin' terrible on who has dibs on it. (I know your laughing)----6
Ain`t far off is it, sprocket is out for delivery so maybe a test run today.

She was like having My Mom next door for ten years. I was sick worrying about some idiot moving in. and then this spring a Young couple moved in with two little Boys . they are totally Nut's with four wheelers, hunt, shoot, and Do all kind of normal things that country people do. The Lord was listening to My Prayers.

Way to go bro. Works like a champ! Thanks for showing everyone the video, it's great.
Got the front clip back on my 49 pickup today, not bolted down but sitting back almost in place. It's back to the surgeon tomorrow for a check-up on the knee whlich is better but not near as good as before I fell out of bed.

That my friend is great! I'm very happy you got it all dialed in! I would suggest you put a floor on your sulky, that 1" square tubing ain't much for keeping yer limbs out from under the back wheels!
Hey thanks friends i`m real happy with how it works and good idea Gunny on the floor boards.

Yup upside down on my phone too but we get the idea. I've not seen one of those 2 wheel tractors but one time, during a snow storm, guy was plowing sidewalks. Seemed to do the job very well.
Grandpa had a HUGE roto-tiller that had a little hitch on it. Could pull stuff with it if the tillers were turned off. I was probably in grade school, but, I think I remember that correctly.

I got to much on my plate now to mess with one Bill, i`m switching the drive on the mower to belt drive with a tensioner, it`s just too fast because the clutch doesn`t engage until about 2,000 rpm.

Thanks GK, just pulled the head too and valves stuck also mt cylinder looks like new.
If it frees up i`m sure there won`t be any spark which means taking the fly wheel off which can be trouble.
