As a parts counter man I'd love to do a physical inventory on Charlie's newly acquired bins I'd bet there's very interesting stuff to be had there

SHULTZY - My sister-in-law was driving my wife's car bringing my mother-in-law home from work as a 5th grade school teacher. Old lady in a new Coupe DeVille pulls out of the grocery store parking lot right in front of them, Sister-in-law swerved clear over to the left side curb, luckily no on-coming cars. Old lady never really did stop, the crease started right behind the front wheel and ended at the back bumper of the '70 Firebird, car had just been repainted 2 months before, incidently, at the bodyshop just 2-3 feet from where the accident happened. Cop Shop was a block away, Mother-in-law stopped in to file accident report. The Official Illinois Insurance Commission came back as my Sister-in-law's fault. Cops recognized the description of the Caddy, They call the old lady's Son, who ran one of the insurance company's in town.
Old lady finally made a mistake a year or so later, pulled out in front of a service truck belonging to the rural electric company. Cops and the old lady's son tried to once again sweep the incident under the rug but the manager of the power company, who happened to live next door to my in-laws suggested to the Son to tear up Mom's license and sell the car or prepare to fight a court battle he couldn't afford or ever win.

Moral of this story is, I hope your video is enough to make the cops change who was at fault, but I wouldn't want to bet on it like it's a sure thing.

Charlie,

The RER Cadet 60 was the only Tecumseh engine used in IH Cadets that I know of. Later RER models and Cadet Lawn Tractors used B&S 5-11 hp engines. Cub Cadets were all Kohler up until the low cost QL 1100 model was introduced which used a B&S 11 hp engine. The 82 Series was more diversified utilizing B&S (482/582 16hp), Kohler (682/782) 17 hp and Onan (982 19.9 hp).

After MTD took over, I'm sure the engine makes changed radically but never kept up with all that.

Everyone must be on vacation this Labor Day weekend.
I am spending it at home laboring mostly on my tractors.

 

[digger]

We've all been on vacation for some time now Marty.

 

[mfrade]

I've been lurking..

Nothing to really report, still need to make time for the 169, and waiting for Harry to give us an update / evaluation on his engine modification.

 

[eford]

I had a very productive yesterday. Finally got dad's 1450 rear end swapped with one from my roller. Did like Steve B. Had suggested and changed pumps from one to the other. Along with the brake rod because it now has internal brakes. Other than some final adjustment today for drive speed and brake pedal, it's good to go for dad finally.

 

[eford]

Decided to mess with 782 today, carb is still giving me problems. Testing tank mounted above engine and jets open until loose, full choke, it's still starving for gas. New clean plugs and points, adjusted properly. I'm at a loss. Would it be better to find another good carb and start over?

And dad's 1450 is dry underneath! I'm happy for that! No leaks!

 

[mgonitzke]

Earl-

Why not rebuild the current carb?

 

[eford]

I've rebuilt it once and torn back apart 3 times now. Either I messed something up or there is something I just don't see. No matter what right now it can't get enough fuel.

 

[eford]

Could worn throttle are/or choke shafts be causing this? I didn't think about it until now. I had that issue on the 100 carb last year and ended up just swapping it for another I had. I didn't have a problem with lack of fuel, I just couldn't tune it. I may go try the grease trick to see what happens

 

[danderson]

That will make it run lean

 

[digger]

Must be cold where he's at!

 

[danderson]

Get warm and exphyxiated at the same time.

 

[ekincaid]

That's one "effed"up exhaust on that 149.carbon monoxide sale in isle three

 

[mfrade]

Maybe that's why the fender is red in that one spot?

 

[sblunier]

Earl,

Are you setting the float correctly? If the needle valve won't open, you won't get any fuel.....

"Asking for a friend" Recently serviced '67 123 hydro filter came off during operation. Believe it may have run dry. Pulled the backing plate, drained fluid, cleaned the housing, installed a new filter/ fluid.....not moving. Friend would appreciate any help!
