| HOW I GOT IT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So i noticed a cast iron garden tractor on craigslist and i wanted it so bad when i saw it, and best if all i could actually afford it as it was 100$ and i was getting an overtime check the following Friday. well next morning around 7am i was at work using some spare time to show one of friends with a truck what i found and ask if we can get it in exchange for gas money, turned out that was his only day off this week so i asked him if he could pay and i pay him back Friday. he said yes, i was trying to email the seller, around noon no response, so i asked chase to use his cellular telephone and text him for me. he said some one came and picked it up that morning. i was bumed out, he wanted to hang out after work and said he was going to pick me up. i walk out and he pulls up with a tarp over the bed with is truck spray painted black (was green) as i was getting in i yelled "YOU C*** SUCKER" then he said "happy erly birthay, you dont need to pay me back, i had to get this for you, every time you try to get something like this some one else gets it first." i said "ile keep the gas money, but your not giving me a 100$ present." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PICTURES

| I'm not sure I fully understand, why are you trying to get the drive shaft off? Are you planning on removing the engine completely?

| Are we sure that's a set srew though? I don't see any threads on the little part sticking out. Could be some wierd roll pin type deal or something.

yes, i need to asses why my compression tripled and when the motor files its spins the wrong way. i would assume camshaft. | |

thats really small, even if i found a small enough nut to go on it, but i welded it on, the blobs from the welding would be bigger than the nut. i guess at some point im going to try and use my dremmel and make it into a flat head. | |

| I bet your compression release got messed up and is backfiring so hard it actually turns backwards for a sec | |

| Yeah I agree I'd think the compression release on the cam screwed up somehow. It could be bouncing off compression and trying the start backwards possibly.

| Is it possible to put that coil on backwards? The timing is way too advanced. 75 PSI seems kinda low to me for compression, but something is going on if it tripled. | |
