The official OPE daycare thread

is that so you can see the road ahead when your ridin wheelies?

That wasn't the main purpose, but it works for that.

Is this where all the cool kids hang out? Or just the crazy ones?

Well now I have to go do school. Man I hate sit down paper school! Stuff doesn't stick unless it's something I actually feel like I need. But you know it teaches you how to solve problems and think right? And learning to weld, do construction, siding, roofing, and learning to work on everything from chainsaws to big diesels doesn't? I know some of it I will find useful latter on but really why do I need to draw? I can draw a stick man and that's it! Oh well rants over, I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

I bought all 3 of these skidoo Olympics for $150, the one missing a motor I have the motor for in the bed. All I need is a pair of skis to replace the front wheels on the John Deere S92 for winter, then the rest will be sold for profit.

I bought the very first mower I ever drove many years ago today from our ex landlord, ex neighbor, and long time family friend. Rough John Deere s82 for $20. He's been back and forth for a couple years on price, from not 4 sale to like $75, that's just the way he is lol. I mainly bought it to have for parts for my s92 wheelie mower

Finally struck a deal with @Stump Shot this skidoo formula plus.

 

[LAWN BOY]

$160 more worth of shindaiwa parts

I found these at the landfill today. XX don't pull fuel on its own. Mower runs but engine control cable is funky.

Got some more free stuff from a local FB post I made. Toro push mower, craftsman yard vac, and Stihl weed whacker.

Nice finds. I don't think I've ever seen an older yard vac that the rodents haven't chewed holes into the bag.. That one's old enough to have a Tecumseh engine.
143.xxxxxxx conversion fun.

Most of those Tecumseh fixed jet carbs engines wont crank without an air filter element in place. You can hand choke them but they usually still want to die without a filter to balance the air flow and fuel draw.

The yard man has an infamous Kohler courage 22hp single, which I'll clean the carb on tomorrow and hopefully it will run good after that, the deck is messed up tho and so is the feeling of moving the transmission shift lever. It will be for sale or trade after I attempt to get it running this week. The cub cadet hdts2185 has no deck, and sadly the Kohler command 18 is seized, missing 1 side panel, willing to part out, for sale or trade. The Stihl leaf blower runs excellent after a carb clean and new primer bulb, it starts up first pull with no choke or throttle after sitting over 30 mins, it's for sale or trade, the weed whacker needs a carb, I'm selling it cheap to a friend on Saturday. The Poulan push mower runs and is for sale or trade. While working on the cub cadet in the dark I did this to my finger, I was having so much fun that I didn't notice it until several mins after I got inside.
