So what did you buy today

[Sloughfoot]

Mine works. Sort of. It scrolls a bunch of different numbers. Some are multiples of what rpm it should be reading, one is the actual rpm and then a bunch of other numbers that don't mean anything. There's two buttons to program it with but I could never get them to do anything.
Been meaning to throw it in as complimentary gift to people I've sent parts to

1996 Bandit 250XP. In WNC you can't find anything used worth owning since the Hurricane last year. Drove to Iowa to get it and still driving home now. Only had 946 hours, everything works. Perkins diesel....81hp.

I got it home and with a freshly charged battery and new fuel lines she runs and chips. I'm getting it back in full working order and am trying to figure out the auto feed system. Anybody here have any hard earned knowledge?

That had to be a small town in Iowa as that is one old Hy-Vee.

 

[morewood]

Ha! Sent that pic to a friend who is from Iowa. She noticed the Hy-Vee too. I think that's a trailer passing by as there wasn't anything near that county building. Moville, Iowa. Honest to goodness barely a dot on the map.

Hit up the China freight on the way home today. Should make working on my junk much easier on my back now

Until now, I didn't even know I needed on of those!

Exactly what i said when i seen the guy at harbor freight loading a generator into a customer's truck with one. The list of uses started running through my head and knew i had to have one.

 

[Czed]

Picked up this 7x12 target
It mounts on a 2x2 but I'm going to try a piece of gas pipe

In theory I did not "buy" anything today other than to pay bills.

Finally bit the bullet and boight a new mower.
I'm sick of fixing the one I have and it only ever being half right. Plus it's 25 years old now.

This new mower is pretty much the same but with a metal deck instead of plastic.


I was going to buy a Honda 536 HRH but apparently these are more durable and better made, idk. Its the same engine though, only the blade is shaft driven instead of belt driven.

How much engine 170cc? / Metal after 25 years is known to become a sieve but what did you repair in the plastic one ?

 

[Partner]

I have one plastic IBEA, it's also 25 years old, but nothing needs to be done there

 

[STOVE]

Echo CS-400 for $30 as a parts saw. Got it home and it ended up running.
