Big Sale Coming Soon - UPDATED 05-01-25 (01 Apr 2025)

I went on and published the Big Sale Page. It is on the main menu, mega menu, and off canvas menu.

The Big Sale isn't yet officially on but we do sell parts every day. There's still a lot of work and organizing to here do before that happens let alone the Spring rush is here. As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts here lately and the new page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything...

It will probably happen sometime in May or June. If anyone needs a part we will most likely have it and plenty of them. I'll keep everyone posted as things progress.

** I just realized I had not allowed access to the public on the new Big Sale page on the site. Sorry, too much going on around here. It should be fixed now where anyone can see it.

Thanks Bob, I know what you mean; but, when it's something you enjoy doing it doesn't seem so bad.

I just want to interject in here that when I did the spindles on the front axle, I had to use an old thrust bearing {with missing needles} because I could not find my other new one. I was looking around for something else and I found it, so now I have both new thrust bearings on.

Had a go at mocking up a couple of the Ag's on the rear, yes I know the tread is the wrong direction. Didn't catch it till after I already had them on. The models that are equipped with a hydro cooling fan, have the mounting bracket sandwiched between the frame and a couple of the transaxle bolts. I temporarily mounted this for a photo op, but will remove and reassemble it later so it doesn't get too bumped around. I am currently trying to source some Woodruff keys {Part# 907346} for the 4 hubs.

Just a little update on my progress, as you may have noticed one of the rear tires does not hold air. This is not due to the tire rather the wheel assembly, specifically, the area where the valve stem hole was welded shut and ground down. It was taken down too far and this is where the air leaks, so needless to say it's going to have to be rewelded. I still have to get the other two tires mounted and test them for leaks. In the meantime, I assembled the side panels to the frame.

Nappy, I don't have a target date. I do have a lot of parts redone, but they are for later on in the reassembly. I have to reassemble each one in order, some I don't even have yet. Next is the rear wheels/tires which requires the 4 Woodruff keys for the axles. The local Fastenal moved so I may try to find another close, to purchase from. I also need to finish the discs for the brakes...
