    New from Texas - Original and 100

    Welcome Tyler Green!!! I live close to Waco, so not so very far from you. I mostly try to keep something working to use, have not done a restoration yet. If I had a pretty tractor I would not want to get it dirty. Have Cadet 60, 70, 102, 122, 128, and 149 w/ tiller. Not all those are working...

    Points cleaning?

    I have been using one of Mr Kirk's little do-daddys for several years now down here in Texas where there is no snow (for the most part), and my 128 sits under a carport. My experience is the points won't fire without cleaning them after sitting unused from about December to March. I probably use...

    How Cold Is IT?

    Yes Sir on the snow blower play time. Sometimes I feel deprived that we cannot find a reason to own one here but then I realize I would need to go out in that cold to get to use it. On another note, our weather forecast was not so agreeable just a week ago when all those temp highs were 100...

    Useful tips / vids / how-to's and whatnot

    This is in reference to those little spring clips that keep the grille in place on my 128. They look like they are just waiting for an opportunity to jump off, but if they are clipped on good they seem to stay ok. After a few hours of mowing one day I discovered one had come off and the grille...

    Poor mowing

    Heat treated was my choice, I use my bench grinder very slow and sparingly when necessary, but use the vise and a file mostly. Thanks for the information.

    Poor mowing

    I am sure my 128 has the original blades. The original owner had one of those spring loaded check books that would snap closed on his hand if he tried to spend money. I have sharpened them each mowing season since I have owned it (last 15 years or so). The blades are looking like it wouldn't...

    Poor mowing

    I need new blades for my 42" but there are nearly as many to choose from as there are flavors of ice cream. What is the difference in heat treated, tungsten carbide, or hard surface, and which seem to be the most popular?

    Wheelhorse

    I tried that, when got to checkout they referred to their new website which does not seem to have the book. If anyone has better luck please share. Thanks

    Tiller questions.

    My tractor and tiller had been sitting unused for some time. All I know about the tiller at this point is that it turns freely but has some slack in the chain. I have not looked inside to clean or grease it but I will. Right now I am gathering information that may help me do the best job. Thank...
