So, this is the oem harness, meaning its been changed to something that won't cause a fire, right?

Yes, a new harness is how this project began. Thats a picture from before I disassembled the tractor. I got a new one from porch electric. Thanks!

Little progress. Haven’t had much time. Got a few things painted and flywheel removed to finish cleaning up engine. Chased threads and used cheap puller. Came off no problem.

Look at that big ole cast iron flywheel. They dont make them like that anymore.

Yeah definitely robust haha. Should I paint it after wiring brush or just leave it alone?

If I were you, I'd paint the flywheel black and then paint the timing marks a contrasting color to make them easy to find in the future when you need to reset the timing.

Not much progress to report. Truck is main focus now before cold really sets in. The cub is in heated basement so I’m not in as much of a rush.

No progress still working on truck. But on the theme of unrelated stuff here’s a neat little push mower I picked up this spring. It’s been amazing

What an odd mower. The Deck and wheels look like retro 1960's mower while the engine and controls look modern. Engine looks like a B&S 500E series....plastic carburetor.
Can you loosen that handle and rotate the handlebars to the side? Like for running alongside a building?
Made by Husqvarna?
Very interesting mower

 

[nnero]

Yeah I didn’t even think they sold them here in US. Made in 2008. Husqvarna bought them out and changed colors. Cast aluminum mulching deck with2 blades. Cuts very well, perfect for inside garden fence. Yeah you can loosen and adjust handle for getting close to buildings/fence. Like that it has hand throttle and one lever deck adjustment. Has never started in more than one pull. Got it for $80.

sounds like a good deal at $80, which ain’t much kronner.
