Steve B - thanks for the info on oils, good stuff.
Terry D - I was also thinking maybe the fix was to have a new keyway machined 180 degrees from the one you've got - but it's good to know there's another way to skin this cat!
Mowed again with the 126 and 48 inch deck. It's amazing how quick this engine starts with a fresh battery...
Can't put my finger on it - but it seems the S/G in the 126 spins faster than the one on the 109. Is this possible? I figured both were electric motors when in the starter mode and the RPM's would be the same.
Still giving the 2nd gear for mowing on the 126 a try. 1st is definitely to slow, for rougher ground, 2nd is almost to fast from a buttox point of view...
I'd like to get my hands on a 128 and try the 2nd gear on that model and see how it compares to the 126 where I'm mowing.
I'm very surprised as how well the 48 inch deck cuts. I expected the quality of cut to be something less as compared to the 44a deck I've got on the 109.
Made a little progress the other night with the 1650 (very little). Hooked up all the electrical and turn my attention to the gas tank. Gas tank valve is clogged. I'll try to get the valve going again, but I should think a better solution is to fit the tank with some kind of bulkhead fitting, use an inline filter and shut-off valve. Anyone done this?
The 122 is still in the parts donor mode. I was looking over the 3 point hitch and the lift handle. I kind of like the floating bail on the 122 vs the button used on my 126 (which is missing) and my 109. I assume when you folks are moldboard plowing you are in float position? With the 126, inspite of the bumpy ride, I can really knock out some grass with it and I gather the 122 shares the same 2nd gear ratio. In as much as the 122 needs an engine and I've got a deck, front plow, a lift lever that works (float position) and a 3 point hitch already installed, I'm thinking about maybe hanging on to this tractor for another day. We'll see. I think Momma would like to see them all go and in place of them a small RER that starts everytime, doesn't have flat tires, dead batteries or take-up a whole basement, with parts scattered about....
