What's on your bench?

[bulletpruf]

064, getting a new fuel tank, Caber rings, carb rebuild, muffler mod, etc.

$45 from a local guy, a 1974 LB with a D-433 engine. Anyone know a good place for parts? It needs a coil for sure, so I may just replace it with an electronic kit. Bones look really good, nice clean carb. Lots of carbon in the muffler/exhaust ports. I'll pull the jug before I start dropping $$$ into it.

Best hand mower made in my opinion.
Have two, one with broken deck. If you find parts source I'm all ears.

I think it was Dub from ope that restored one the other year.

I have four 2 stroke LBs, but prefer to use my restored '79 Snapper for trimming.

257 base gasket. As you can see, the transfers are open on the bottom, case and gasket block the transfers.

The 257s I rebuilt i had to make my own gaskets
Because they were head slapper's without any gasket
I cut out the gasket to fit the base.

@aljewett - sweet! Have fun! I certainly did with mine rebuilding it. New wheels and axle bolts really helped mine. I used mine this morning to mulch leaves. Mine came with a bag but I prefer mulching and mine also has the mulching thing installed above the blade. See below for parts.

@5155 - eBay was how I sourced many parts for the one I posted above. I also used regular OPE parts houses for some things. Facebook marketplace is a good source for parts mowers.

Here’s what’s on my bench today. Had a hell of a time getting it apart. For 50 bucks it was a heck of a deal. Runs perfectly and has great compression. I just want to clean it up really well and check for issues.

So much for retirement. . .

Hi Mark. The 10*10 sounds great with the muffler ( or should We say sheet metal) that you hooked us up with.

 

[heimannm]

I have several more totes to go through.



Most of the drums & sprockets have been identified and put away.

@heimannm - I wanted to say I really enjoy seeing your pictures. Everything you do would be pretty enjoyable to me. I like having my parts organized and keeping track of stuff.

 

[heimannm]

With more than 7,000 part numbers in my master spreadsheet, things have to be pretty well organized or I'll never have a chance to find anything.

Dad's buddy's MS361, fuel line replacement. What kinda grinds my gears is that the local hardware store/repair place charged him $80 to check it out and tell him nothing was wrong with it

Not on the bench yet, but tree service fellow a couple of towns away dropped these off today. Several different kinds of problems to be addressed...

Look almost too clean to be a tree crews saws.

 

[heimannm]

My experience with this crew is that they break them before they have a chance to get very dirty....
