Was un-eventful. It hit me at 6:15 this morning that i would safely bet i was the only one in my class awake at the time, LOL. Got er' primed today, she looks good. Will have to get more primer and finish the job. In a week or so i MAY paint it, depending if the forcast changes. Ive been trying to think of a name for her, and have been calling her "The Monster" but my mom calls her the monstrocity :-)
Anyway, some PB blaster on the brake levers has them almost moving all the way back and forth, 3 days ago one wouldnt budge and one would, barely. Tomorrow im planning to remove the kero and try some ATF in all cylenders, on olds advice. Worked her over good today with the hand crank, had to resist the temptation to use the 9lb hammer on the crank, and i then put it in 3rd and rocked it back and forth by hand, no news. I also jacked up the front end and put grease into all the zerks that would take it, and what should i do about the zerks that wont take grease?? I will jack it up further (diddnt go high enough, have to put some more boards under it)and turn the wheel back and forth to work it in. The steering seems really rough, any way to loosten it up some?? Possiby some gear oil in the steering box??
I also pumped up one front tire with a bike pump, 10 mins later i found the valve stem wont hold air and it all came back out, oh well. I also discovered a gaping hole in the side of the rim, anyone got another one??? What should i do about the stem?? The tube and tire are fine from what i know.
One more thing, i got a torque wrench for $30 at sears today, if'n i knew thats all they cost i would have gotten one during the snapper sags over the summer, remember??? That was fun, LOL. Anyone have any pointers on how to use the thing??
I found someone who will give me a set of manuels and someone elce who will get me a carb. Thanks you two, and thanks to everyone who reads and responds to and advises the project.
Here i am with it, primed and set. This was during the steering...work this afternoon. Plywood for a seat is uncomfortable :-I

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
