Nice. All you wanna-be porters take heed...this is how it's done! And it's damn sure good enough for who it's for!

Is that J.E. ? or maybe I.C. ? I saw I.C. has a porting services ad over on FHC, thought it rather amusing...

I saw it on Facebook yesterday. Guys were saying it is Jamie Trotter. I can not confirm this to be true, but that is the info I read.

Interesting, that name is familiar but I can't place it right now.

Had an Exmark Pioneer zero turn come in for a hydro service, simple enough. Drain the hydros and change the filters, remove the bleed screws, start filling the expansion tank and the left hand hydro will not take fluid. At first I thought it was just an air lock, after two hours of futzing with it (slow learner, ain't I) I finally decide to remove the hose and try a direct fill. Still no joy, so I remove the barb fitting from the top of the hydro.







Not drilled from the factory.

Sounds like a problem I may encounter. Lessons I learn and never forget.

 

[Onan18]

Where are they made here?

Exmark is made in Nebraska, Hydro Gear is made in the U.S. as well. Not sure if this part is made offshore or not.

 

[Stump Shot]

This is supposed to be a cover for a Tillotson HS.
Any ideas @Onan18 @Spike60


Love this improvised repair. @Dub11
It looks like it wants to be a clock, so I call it the tick tock starter.

That's a case of "wrong bin location" and a parts picker that just goes by bin numbers and will never recognize one part from another. A year ago I ordered a 395 fuel tank and got a "fuel tank" from a 1996 tractor.

Like the tick tock starter too. I had the tick tock tach in my 69 Charger.

Maybe I cant help thinking China?
