Projected got pushed to the side with us moving and my mother passing away, hope I will now get sometime to work on it again.
Got some work done on the steering shaft, installed grease fitting & square up and welded the socket extension in place.

Glad its getting back to normal for you ...keep the updates coming on the project.

Got the steering shaft welded to the pedestal. mounted a gas tank and got the little bugger running for the first time in about 20 yrs. A lot of smoking at first but that has seemed to have gone away. Even took it for a drive through the subdivision. Here a couple of really short videos of the engine running. Maybe I can find someone to tape me driving it around.
You can see the flywheel turn in this video.

You can see the clutch pulley turning a little here, it is just held on with a clamp right now.

It's looking good.

Here's a video of me driving it around the back yard. Using a screwdriver to tighten the belt pulley as I do not have the hand clutch arm installed yet. Figuring out how the hand clutch is going to move the pulley into position will be a challenge.

I'm not sure the dog likes it as much as you do

so did the thread die out. i was enjoying this. and how does the rollers turn on the sides. is that a pto or do they just spin when your in gear.

 

[bakerg]

Haven't had much time to work on it, hope to get back to it soon. Flywheel spin through a gear box when motor turns and the roller as you call it engages when the hand clutch is engaged.

Looks like the dog isn't too fond of it.

I wonder if you could find a gang reel mower for it?
