My LT started out very light, the fronts still quite light without the plow on, I can actually wheelie it all the way across my yard. But I have 102 pounds of plate weights chained to the back. The tires had 35 pounds of ballast each but I ditched the liquid filling when I put bolts in because I...

I'd LOVE to have an 8n! Love them old ford tractors. But I could pick up a running yard jeep for $150 I've only got about $20 into the weed eater at this point. I have plans to either buy an ATV plow and modify it or to build from scratch a metal blade, But I don't have a welder! :/ I have...

Like I said we got about 5 inches, it was sticky enough to make good snowballs. I do expect it to push a 60" plow, considering I built a 54" plow and it never even lugged the engine or tried to spin. 6" isn't much bigger. I piled half the snow from my driveway in one spot last night to push it...

So I fixed my traction problem! 35, 1 1/2" in long 5/16" bolts in each rear tire. They stick out about 1 1/8". They get stupid amounts of traction, We got about 5 inches of snow today and besides not being able to steer it was like it wasn't slippery at all. I also got a little froggy and...

I've decided to make a 3x5 sled with small sides since winter is coming right up. I can cut 5-6 foot lengths and pile them on then strap them down. I have already started bolting my tires (bolts sticking out of tread for max traction) and I even considered putting skis on it for fun this winter...

Mine has 102 pounds of plates chained to the rear, 35 pounds of ballast in each tire, and will go just about anywhere it has clearance. It gets quite an impressive amount of traction for turf tires. If you have problems with spinning on your lawn I would highly suggest liquid ballast in the...

1978 All Nighter Big Moe! All ducted into my forced hot air ducts, soon to have a magic heat and dual blowers, and it will take a 30" log. Heats my 2 story 3000 sqft house in Maine from the basement like a champ and will burn for 18+ hours if you run it right with the right wood. This things so...

I have been cutting some firewood off my property, and skidding it with my lawn tractor that I weighted quite heavily in desperate search of (free) traction. Right now I am in the process of making my own bolted rubber tire "chains" and I am going to weight the front of my tractor as well...

So I built my first saw, and ran it for the first time today! I had a friend give me a Poulan 2075, it was a 36cc with a 16" bar. It ran great but cut pretty miserably, it wouldn't cut out but just didn't have a lot of power. So I took it all apart to clean it because it tried to catch on...

I am going to add 40-50 pounds to the front, and in the summer for mowing I'll take the weight off the back and leave the front so I can still turn when I'm mowing. Sent from my Z899VL using Tapatalk

Haha it makes noises sometimes but keeps going. I'm going to tear the transaxle apart soon and lock it and I have a buddy that has a set of chains for me I have to go pick up. Then it should pull how I want. Sent from my Z899VL using Tapatalk

Yea your right there's no return so it just builds pressure in the line against the needle valve where the primer cycles the fuel back to the tank. But in the definition of the word prime as it refers to most mechanics and engines means that there is pressure in the line, such as a mechanical...

Yes I figured it out with a little experimenting, I hate those damn primers as well! Thats a clever way to plug everything all in one shot! I hate them things, and there's no reason for it on a saw with a choke and that runs great, and the new one will get ripped open just like this one. Plus if...

I've still got a week at least of wood stacked up I just don't like being this low! I was planning on burning oil his winter since I never got any wood but as soon as it got cold the furnace started acting up. Woods free anyways so you can't beat that with my 10 pound maul. Plus I hate to admit...

So I stayed up to late and got my saw together, enough to run it anyway. I'll put the bar and cover on in the morning after I double check it on fresh eyes. I swapped in a 42cc P&C from a craftsman I got a deal on today(2 of them for $20!), I wanted to use the craftsman chassis just because I...

Ive got a poulan with the stupid primer bulb that is slit all open, how to I properly bypass it? I plugged to prime line from the tank, do I need to plug the tit on the carb as well? Sent from my Z899VL using Tapatalk

Awesome I'm gunna drop and drag out some stump seasoned pines in the morning, so quick burning stuff sound like just what I need to mix in with the elm that burns for 10 hours haha. Heres my sweet lawn skidder, shes dragged a 18" butt oak log 14' long log out of the fairly knarly trail I have...

Haha I went today and bought 2 craftsmans (poulans) off a guy for $20. They just need a cleaning and tune up. Now I'll have 2 running saws And I'll order a piston and make it 3! Sent from my Z899VL using Tapatalk

All the saw shops say "noone rebuilds those little things" haha Sent from my Z899VL using Tapatalk

Anyone know of any chain type stores that sell and more importantly stock poulan parts? I need a piston for my saw like yesterday just got paid need to have my saw running by tonight to cut some wood to keep the house warm. Thanks! Sent from my Z899VL using Tapatalk
