| Yeah get mud lites , and on the 2300's the inputs on each side rotate opposing directions and can be swapped to either side for which side the right angle gearbox or in this case engine drives it | |

| You know you can buy yourself a new Dewalt 1/2 drill for the price of one of those execs, but I don't blame you for going big or going home. | |

| im useing thoes as hole me over tiers till i can get what i want. i need to find some wide rims at the junk yard first. btw i was at the junk yard lesterday and there was wuite the wide selection of lawn and garden tractors. i found one i might have to go back for. it was in decent shape, had a transmission just like the ford (i pulled the headlights and shifter off) it had a 17hp briggs oppy. one with a metal fly wheel blower, and the motor even turned over, just felt like it had weak compression. all in all it was in decent shape and even had the 12" 5 bolt rims like the ford. in 2 more weeks i get payed agin, if its still there when i get payed and it dose not cost me to much i might grab it. there is a LOT of options there but most have sized motors. another motor that was not sieezd i was looking at was a 2 cylinder horizontal shaft on a cub cadet. i just was worried it wold cost to much so i did not ask.
it was my first time getting stuff from a junk yard, so i was expecting half ebay prices or somthing, what i got only ran me 10$ | |

| so this thing needs a real name and thats still up in the air, but im considering "Ford Wheeler" and wold be pronounced "ford whiller" because thats how i talk. it might change but i love me a bad pun and that seems like one waiting to happen. | |

| That's looks like a neat old tractor to put around on. I hope it makes the trip to wal-mart and back. | |

| its getting closer to Walmart every day, on the dinky page i posted about this, last weekend dinky's drive belt gave out by auto zone. i pushed it to the movie theator and hid it in a push, then the old ford had to tow it back, and stall out about 40 times.
i just did my rebuild kit on the stock carb and put new o-rings in it, now it leaks worse than it did before... tomrrow i might take it all apart and put locktite on all the threated bits to seal them. the innerds that were in it before were quite mangled, i think the treads for the main jet are to scored... carb runs great other than horrible leaking.
oh, and it did not have to go to walmart just yet, had a can of carb cleaner next to my pc, and now i look it it i see my missing can of v-belt conditioner. | |

| When I've had carbs leaking really bad, a pinhole leak in the float was the culprit. | |
