I'm wondering if a wallpaper stripping solution would work for taking off the decals. You would have to score the old decals for it to work. I used some stuff that took 25 year old wallpaper off of one of my bedrooms walls and it worked great for that. It wouldnt hurt the fiberglass either. Then all you would need is a plastic scraper, they can be found in any kitchen supply store.

Okay Now I'm an unlurker
Paint prep question.
Would it be okay to clean off parts that were sanblasted and then wire wheeled or sanded with isoprpyl alcohol?I see that it contains water. Trying not to use laquer thinner or acetone. Too much v.o.c.' s. Thanks, Lew

Rob:
I'd make doubly sure that all the external parts were OK before thinking internal - if possible by replacement off a running engine, like you did with the carb. Internally, things that could make it spit and back fire could be cam timing off or (long shot) maybe something wrong with the ACR. Also, I'd look at weak valve springs (valve float at higher RPM), or too tight on the intake valve clearance (holding the valve off the seat and getting worse as it gets warm).... The thing I always consider is that it's something marginal if it starts and runs, but has a problem (totally bad parts usually will keep it from running at all)

Rob D., just one more thought. Do you have the condensor wired to the coil correctly...BTDT with my 128. The engine would start fine, idle, anything over 1/2 throttle spit,sputter. After checking timing, carb settings, fuel flow and rechecking, I took another look at the wiring diagram. That was my DOH! moment for that day.

Did somebody say Grump? Where is that guy anyway? We need him back. With all of the lurkers showing up, everybody's all happy........and stuff.

Keith, off the topic question, but underneath your tractor is that floor painted with that rustoleum garage floor paint? My wife wants me to do our basement floor with that stuff and was just wondering how well it works. And how well it holds up and is it a pain in the butt it to apply? Thanks, Nick

I really hate to demonstrate my ignorance in public, but I need to know about the nomenclature used for bolts in the parts manual (and Parts Lookup). Specifically, what the heck does "Znd" mean?
Ex: Screw, 3/8-16 X 1-1/2 Znd Hex Hd Cap Type 8

Did this site go back to Daylight Savings Time? The time on my last post is an hour from now. Or are we doing the Rocky Horror Picture Show "Time Warp?" I know I'm not moving faster than the speed of light!

What is a "Brake set up" for a pto,on the front of the engine? I supose its self explanitory but was wondering if someone could explain.
LOL Kendell thats good!!(what the grump shaved with)
I agree Ken needs to come back on.Funny as heck, and a super wealth of info.

I've been exchanging emails the past week or two with KENtucky, aka The Grump. He's been painting lures, fishing, and organizing his MP3 files. He was also complaining about the cold weather.
Keith, nice job on the lift bracket.
Lip, interesting question,
I always thought it meant zinc plating.
I bet KENtucky would know what it means....

Jason, partway through the wide frame series they incorporated a brake on the mechanical PTO to quickly stop the implement from turning after the PTO was disengaged. It's a safety feature.
According to this site its an Airport in Zinder, Niger.

Terry, looks like it also means "Zinc-depleted", close enough for me to zinc plating, I think I may have just won something?
With my luck I've probably won a pot of KENtucky's "cow track" coffee.
