Charlie-
It's simply amazing what some people come up with as "money savers". That PO needed a mechanic to tell him no more air was needed for that breather. The only advantage I see is gas might leak out the from the outside in the case of a needle stuck open letting the operator know sooner. It's not much of an advantage. And the carriage/stove bolt in place of the fiber button...what's up with that? I'm guessing he had to lengthen the adjusting rod in order for it to work. I'd like to see his "shop". I bet it's full of these money savers. That's the first I've seen of homemade pulley covers. The covers are usually just tossed and forgotten. I also see where the dirt daubers found the set screw holes in the pto. They are apparently the perfect size.
At least it has been rescued and doesn't smoke which is a biggy. I'm with Kraig...that poor 105.
Now are you going to tell us of the extra wheel weights, the tiller, the snow thrower, etc that came with it?
