Charlie/Digger,
Thanks for the pics. What I have in a box of parts is a clamp to hook the spring to the rear lift arm and an angled bracket to attach to the rear of the frame. Is this a Brinly part? Maybe I'll just need to make a bracket for the rear anchor. It just looked like it could be useful. Well, at least that's what my right arm said....
Kurt,
Ah, yes, memories of Plow Days past. When I can coax the herd into being more photogenic, maybe they'll be worthy of shooting.
Kevin,
Did you figure out the mystery carburetor? Plus, see below.
Tom,
I think I'm okay. This is the last week before finals, so I won't have much time for a couple of weeks, anyway. Since this week's forecast looks kind of weird, with snow, sleet, and freezing rain, right now the 10 (8? 6? It may even be back up to around 9 HP.) horse is just keeping the 109 going as a backup for snow duty. It is running much better now, after some carb, ignition, and hydro adjustments, than it was at the Prophetstown Plow Day. That sure seems to be hard on an engine. When I get a chance to do a carb rebuild for the 125, that will get some snow stuff on it, then the 109 gets a new/old engine. Maybe 12, maybe 14.
Of course, I do have a pretty clean broken 72 that might be fun to plow with if it had another pile of horsepower....
