    Allright thanks everyone. I'll begin the task sometime soon. I may take you up on the offer for the manuals. I'll wait until just before I start throwing wrenches. Thanks again. I'm very grateful.

    sickle mower pitman arm length

    centered in the guards means that the tip of each blade is under the tip of each guard? And thanks for the length. probably saved me from going insane. As far as centering the blades... is there another way of doing that other that getting the arm length correct? As you can tell, I havn't...

    sickle mower pitman arm length

    I am trying to rehab an old sickle bar mower. I know its an IH and I think its a model 28 (fast hitch). Does anyone know how long the pitman arm is supposed to be? I hear these things can be a pain to work on. Any suggestions? One more thing. Other than getting the pitman arm length...

    BC144 governor

    All I can tell you is I was just messing with the governor on my 300U. I undid the top linkage (engine off) set the throttle to full pulled up on the rod (the one that goes from the governor up to the carb shaft) and screwed the link on the top until it lined up properly with the shaft from the...

    Victory! (carb/governor problems)

    Thanks to everyone who helped. traced the problem to the governor. I must have done something (although I don't see how) to the governor when I took the carb off. I took apart that top linkage. The rod that extends up from the governor was slightly bent. I put it back together so that that rod...

    Carb problem now a governor problem

    The guy before me said when he took the carb off to clean it and he put it back on it was normal. One time it revved real high and then went back to normal. I had it for a few weeks and it was fine. This seemed to happen right after I put the carb back on. What part are you talking about...

    Carb problem now a governor problem

    First, many thanks to everyone who helped my diagnose the problem I was having. I was able to correctly connect the carb to the governor. Here is the issue: When I start the tractor it revs too high. With the top (not the side) of the governor off, I can push down on the assembly ever so...

    Engine rev after carb overhaul continued...with pics!

    I am thinking that I got the tab in the notch as it should be. Because if I got the tab below the notch then I would have seen the throttle plate open easily but had a hard time closing it. If I got the tab above the notch then I would be able to close the throttle plate but it really wouldn"t...

    Engine rev after carb overhaul continued...with pics!

    I have been in the governor. Bearing is intact. OK I hear you on lining up the tab and the recess in the carb. I really thought I had it. I will try again. BUT lets assume I am getting it in the slot. Any other ideas? And the post I am referring to is not the one in the center but the one...

    Engine rev after carb overhaul continued...with pics!

    Ok. Here is the situation. I really appreciate all the help as I have no one around me to help out. I took the carb off of my 300u yesterday. Replaced the gaskets and float valve to stop a leak. put the carb back on. leak stopped but the engine revs too high. My tach is broken. So I don't know...

    Engine rev after carb overhaul

    No it took me about 100 tries to get it on. Then I hook every thing up... revs too much.. take it apart. Try 100 more times. put it together again, revs too high. I will be taking apart for the 3rd time tomorrow.

    Engine rev after carb overhaul

    Yeah... that was the hard part for sure. I thought I did. I tried twice. Is there a trick to know if you got it for sure. It takes me 15 min to get the carb off. the bolts are in such a stupid spot. any trick to getting it back together the right way?

    Engine rev after carb overhaul

    Please help! I took the carb off of my 300 utility today. I replaced the float valve and ever so slightly bent the float so that it measured the correct distance. I reassembled the whole thing and started it up. The engine revs at a high RPM. Closing the throttle cuts it down a little but it...

    Spring harrow on new ground

    OK. But it could be done right? If I can pick up a used 6 foot harrow for 250 wouldn't that be a better option than buying a disc? Even if I have to hit it a few times. We are not talking a lot of space here. Its only about one half to 3 quarters of an acre.
