No unfortunately

I certainly didn't know much then but do know alot more now. I know not to use those rear-ends for anything because they are junk

Is the engine seized or stuck?

@@BigRig003 stuck

water in the cyl rusted the pistons to the cyl so the motor needs to come apart, the cyls honed out, rings freed, pistons sanded so they have new wear surface, new gaskets, oil oil oil everything and put it back together again. shoot oil in the plug hole and let it sit to free up pistons but then it will have rust in cyl so if u try to run it it will ruin the piston/cyl/rings on the rust so.... take it apart and get $20 cyl hone for the cyl of your size, piston size.

You need to use like some wire to hold the brushes in while you put the starter motor in (put the brushes in through the bottom of the cap so you can remove the wire when starter is together).

i wouldve responded earlier and i bet youve figgered it out. it was a 1986 craftsman with the cast iron 4_speed

Leslie Adcock leave my friend the fuck alone

i know it is not a vtwin. non the less it has twin cylinders. and yes its opposed. i was still new to the mower world, so please don't bash me. now i am more experienced and have a little more knowledge.

HyperRide have a good time trying to do it. the quad tires will help a bit with traction

I will definitely have to film it! you think I will make it?

HyperRide oh I don't know. its worth a shot. just try not to cause internal damage to it

theoutbackbandit yeah I hear you I'm mounting the gas pedal in the same place as you, be fun to see, maybe I'll have to get a snorkel on it before I try

Tyler Chinski nah keep the gas warm and flames are cool. lol

Lol

It might melt the gas line

Tyler Chinski yeah it could. I need some new fuel line anyways. Lol

Lol Cody malted his twice

Southern Mechanics oh yeah. im the lawn mower man from way back. lol

My mower doesnt even run right now......it crapped out on me again. I can't figure out why it wont freaking run. It surges and sputters. I'm sure it just needs a new carbeurator. But idk I'll have to see about it. GOod things is, I may have a job net week. I applied at Pizza Hut and they're gonna call me and set up an interview. If I get this job, i'll have money, and I can buy parts and stuff like that. I can't wait!! Most of all, I hope I even get the job. Also, I really really want to buy a project car to work on so I can fix it up. LIke, I want a car from the 50s, 60s, or 70s. We will have to wait though! Gosh im so excited about this interview

Southern Mechanics sounds like we you have an exciting week ahead of you. If you want something with some good looks and can haul some stuff, get a 2-door square body Chevy. Really nice looking trucks. The carburetor thing might not be the issue. Take a look at the governor before you do anything with the carb

Yeah i'll definitley buy an old Chevy truck. We need a truck in the family. They're pretty cheap around here, just an old work truck. I'm not worried about the looks of it. And ok i'll check the governor.....but what do I look for ?

Southern Mechanics loose governor spring, bent rods anything that looks like its out of place. Or right off the get go just unhook the governor and just see how she runs. If not I could be the carb. Just trying to save you some money maybe or just making shure you get the right parts

Eat My Moto Dust what do you mean?

CJ's Adventures thanks

CJ's Adventures which one?

either one

CJ's Adventures ok. but I might try the leaf spring idea because its not much welding and its not hard to do

That sounds like a good idea

CJ's Adventures yes I think it is. Do you have a mower?

No but I would love one to do up. I have a Toyota hilux I play around with

CJ's Adventures oh yeah. The old Toyota 4x4s were nice. You see the new Toyota's with the Cummings?

HyperRide I could but it would take some money, but then again I could just go to the junkyard and get some.

at least the Craftsman is in top running conditon! :) I do like that tractor and I think its worth saving!

HyperRide yeah it is. Im just trying to save the husky because it was my grand fathers who unfortunately passed away a month or 2 ago.

I am sorry to hear that man :( I would fix it up to original condition than, it will he a good project for you and a way to keep connected to your Grandfather!

HyperRide yeah. I plan on getting someone to paint on the back of my fenders to say (in memory of papa). its a good idea to keep it original but if I get something that is just going to not be used than I mine as well give it to someone else in the family, but I'd rather see it upgraded and in my hands than see it in someone else's hands. I would like to have the mower and in the future look at it a say, (this happened because of my grand father). its just something I don't want to see go to someone else and just sit and collect rust.

Big'n89 yeah I like your attitude about it.

HyperRide ok I will sounds like a cool idea.

HyperRide thanks for the comment. I was wondering if I should put the 18hp twin in my mtd? I would have to park my craftsman then

I dunno, you happy with the Craftsman? I think its a cool looking mower. If I get a second one, I think I will be looking for a Weedeater brand with the 12.5 I/C but until then I think I will mod up the Craftsman and see what I can do to make it better! I'd say keep it and come up with a plan and mod it up!

HyperRide ok. Thanks for the info

HyperRide oh yeah. thats what I hear. Alberta is a very cold place in the winter

thanks

thanks

oh yeah. hows the weather out there?

Good snow gone tho

+Street Burner None yeah. don't worry. there will be lots more. lol

yep

yep. not much though

oh yeah. I was told to park mine but im not going to

Lol

Me and my friend were revving the piss out of it on friday. Thats why they told me to park it.

Hahahahahhahaahaha lol bro I would do that too lol

+Tyler Chinski yeah. hows ur rig going

oh yeah. hopefully it works

oh yeah

yeah it would

thanks. its a peace of crap

Y is a piece of crap

+Tyler Chinski well it doesn't stay running. I have to take everything apart inorder to get the any engine piece and its slow. but it will get better.

Ok have fun

+Tyler Chinski I can't make promises

oh cool
