Well I got all most all of my toys out today for a picture, I have one more snapper mower with no Battery. in it, and my portable welder a Miller Bob Cat, and I have 7 Yes "Seven" Utility Trailers, What more could A Guy ask for?
Oh and Yes I have the most Wonderfull Wife in the World, She even lets me use the Dinning room table for a work Bench to paint my new wheels for the new tractor.

Looking good.

Now that its together, a few service items that I didn't know when I first got mine. Those two holes in the hood are to allow you to use an oil can of some description to oil the generator. Since yours is converted you may not have oil cups anymore. Mine does.

The rear wheel reduction drives, on both sides, they have a pan beneath them, you pull the pan and clean it out, and put gear lube in it. Then bolt it back up, there is a fill hole as well, but I do it by depth. They will howl if you don't.

Brakes look like they are adjusted but if they aren't you can tighten those linkages to make them both work.

There is a weird oiling situation on the fan shaft. see manual.

I would also probably drain the trans gear lube and replace, and the touch control hydraulics and refill.

PBG: Thanks for all the help and advice, I plan on going through everything and bringing the old girl back to life and making her new again, I'm sure I will need to pull the rear end apart and put on new break bands. but the next thing is to pull the gas tank & hood off and clean the tank out and rewire everything what a mess that is. two spark plug wires just fell off today, I know she looks good But she needs a lot more help,, Oh and I'm still not an Expert on the front end, But I know a lot more now than when I started LOL.

Ah ha guitars. Cool. Loofa's well I had nothing to say.

Although I previously had no clue that natural loofa was from a gourd. I would have thought it was something aquatic like natural sponges.

Yes Please Post A Picture of your guitars, I started playing when I was 16,
But never got any better, I just play for my self, I'm not to bad , but I could never play in a Band. I do try to sing, And I have wrote a lot of songs that have gone no where, but there is always hope.

And Frank you need to put up some more pictures of what your working on.:MTF_wel2:

all i have planned right now is replacing an auger bearing on a snowblower im going to sell. I just spent the last hour putting new plugs and coil boots on my fathers F350. Its hard for me to get motivated when its windy and in the 20's. i still need to do Christmas shopping too.

Well oldandred She didn't realy let me paint them on the table, we had painted them in the shop and wanted them to dry real good before we had the tires put on them the next day, so we brough them in for the night because it was cold in the shop, and I set them on the table just to take a picture, But what you said about the guy using the living room did happen to us, We had a Rent trailer in little Rock Arkansas that we didn't check on to often, and one day we stoped in to check on it AND the Guy And His Wife had a 283 chev. engine took apart in the living room Oil every where.
My wife didn't say a word, She walk to the back door of the trailor and just started throughing everything they owned out in the yard, in 30 minutes they were Gone. so we have sold all our rent property now, and are we Glad.:sidelaugh

well I'm not always this lucky, the guy I got it from lived down the street from me, and is getting " Devorced " and lost the house to the wife, and is storing his Boat at my place and had the CUB stored at a bad place in town and offered it to me before it got Ripped Off from him, So I Just Had to Help A Friend Out, Plus he needs Money, So What Could I Do.
So he is Happy, I'M Happy, My Wife Is Well So So :ROF
