    been bringing a rider back from the dead

    mtd hydrostatic drive with bs 18 hp v twin

    always was a hard cranker--learned that big cables are the answer and close the gap on the plugs from 030 to 015 due to it being a single coil--makes the coil last longer they say

    had put a new bearing in the back main pulley stack just b4 it went dead 2 yrs ago---looks like i may have to drop the stinkin deck again to get it freed up

    after some fresh wires here and there and some atf in the holes and a major additive cocktail in the gas it is purring real nice

    other than that, i am so far behind i have given up worrying about it--got stuff that needs sent north--ain't forgot that--but for a guy with no job--the day seems to start at 4:30 with the dogs and cats and ends when the light gives out or the rain sets in---windy as all get out 2day--had to re-knot the wind string on my favorite old felt--parachute cord works great lawnmower revival 301330

    I hear ya there man.

    I need to get my mower either fixed up or get a different one.

    The deck needs to be welded in a couple of spots, but I dont have a pickup to haul it to the welder.

    I think she might need that new motor JB sent me, but I gotta find a carb that fits it. The ones I have are to big.
