Lawn mower build update ( video added )
Don`t want to leave you guys hanging about the mower, had to order a bigger sprocket and should be here tomorrow or Tuesday hoping it works.
Marvin you didn`t say anything wrong or have anything to do with me leaving i`m just having a hard time with this hip thing and my one and only good neighbor sold out and is moving away so been kinda bummed out.
So i`ll post when we get the mower going.

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.

Yup. It's really just that simple. Do right by God and those around you. Strength don't come from muscles.

Re: Lawn mower build update
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

No problem. Take a deep breath and do your own thing.
Re: Lawn mower build update
Pitchy, As late as it is in the summer now, have you started thinking about how to convert the reel mower into a snow thrower yet?
Re: Lawn mower build update
Ain`t far off is it, sprocket is out for delivery so maybe a test run today.

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!

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.

Re: Lawn mower build update ( video added )
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.
