I took the head off and the piston, she no move. So at the very least the rod is broken. It's a 12 hp B&S. I wonder if the rod out of an 8 hp is the same?....Probably not, eh?

I found that it is missing some parts....The blade, the shaft and the pulley that goes on top of the deck. Wondering where and how much this stuff will cost....and how hard it will be to find. I think finding a 28" blade is going to be hard.

Most of you know, this tractor had a serious leak on the hydraulic brake unit due to o-rings that were completely shot. I ordered a new set of o-rings from Salem Power Equipment, and to my surprise they were incorrect. Well, Brian did some digging and found the correct ones and sent them too me. I received them today and the first thing I did was go out and start putting it back together when I got home. Now its perfect, ...

It fought the whole way, but with the battery out and the inpection cover loose I was able to get the old throttle that only stayed put with a stick wedged next to it out, and a better, properly working throttle installed. I fought a headache, a lost screw, tight clearances, and other obstacles to get it done, so I will test it tomorrow, but it seems to ...

Got the steering box greased today too. Next on the list is an oil change, both in the engine and tranny, as well as a battery and some new wiring, and also a bath. Notice the new muffler is on now too. The old one was rusted on pretty good, but I was finally able to get it off. Here's a couple pics without the plow.

Today I went and picked it up. It's a '66 Case 150. Overall, it runs pretty good, with an occasional puff of smoke from the Kohler K241. It definitely will need to be repainted as someone painted the sheet metal in the past with a much yellower color than original. The main problem with it is the hydraulic system has a leak so it is not able to go up hills. Here are some ...

I figured out why the headlight wire was cut in half today, the wire went right past the tiller belt and therefore was worn in half by the belt. I decided to add a new section of wire but before I went to the trouble I jumpered the lights for a test, both worked so I added the length of wire. Easy fix ya know.... I turned them on and only one came on..... so I thought mabey the other one wasnt getting good contact through the splice, so I replaced the ...
