Hey, at least he has a 1964 Pontiac Catalina!
And an Olds Cutlass. Can't tell year from pic but 70-72 timeframe.
1971 Olds 442; '67 442 above the Pontiac. We restored the Pontiac for some good folks down at NOLA. The hurricane hurt their house and we went and got the Catalina to hold for them as the house was repaired. JD #1 has 1k hours; #2 has 600. My neighbor got too old to keep his place up and sold me the #2 for $750. Those 345's are as tough as the Cubs. Cost 20+ years ago new was $6k+.They are not from the box stores.

Looks like those jd's could use some hubcaps
Got any of those?
Nice collection and indoor space to store them. What do you call that interesting black structure that stores the 67 above the 64? Is that custom made or did you buy it off the shelf? Can it lower the 67 to the ground?
The black structure is a 4 post auto lift. Direct Lift is the mfg. It cost about $3k and is Chinese made and I don't trust it. We have a couple of 2 post Rotary Lifts at the shop and those are real good. Don't scrimp on those lifts.

Try the ones I sent you on the jd.
Ok. I'm too ignorant to figure that out on my own!
Here is that 1177 with the new hub caps. Mighty handsome now. Also that 108 which now will not crank. I let it sit too long even with non-eth gas in it.

When you say "will not crank".. does it mean the starter does not spin the engine over, or it just does not fire and run?
It turns over (new battery.) Will not fire. I let it sit for too long.

Might be dirty points too. Depending on your relative humidity and sealing of the cover, the points will get dirty enough not to work if not used enough.
Unlike most of the folks on here, I cannot fix anything. I've got a great mower mechanic (he really works on boats but he helps me with these mowers.) He is going to look at the 108 this week. Points could be the issue and I appreciate the help. I bought the 108 in 1979 for $900. It has had one new engine and two rebuilds on this one. Doesn't have a hours gauge but it has tons of hours. I bought a JD345 in '98 and retired the 108. Runs great (when it runs!)
