OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Idle Chatter old utilty

Yes Darryl I now know that feeling.I was just trying to help and the [Censored] thing was so buggered.That's OK still maybe able to assist.Thumb itself is all good but the nail just doesn't feel right and it's getting even more lose than what it was.Maybe I still could lose it.I'll have to wait and see.

you already assisted with advice and hints mate , thanks for that . still looking and finaly got the base back today so a good tidy of repair welds and hope its painted on the weekend . it will feel great when the nail comes right off . makes it feel lighter itchy as @%#* though . cheers

Can't wait to see the base painted.Yeah well hopefully the nail will fall of soon,but with my luck it won't as it is still growing.

i cant wait either , might even be warm enough to paint stuff and still havto clean it up again . been so damp suface rust got too it ! but no worries just be good to get it in almost one piece again

had a little time today so i tried out the new gun , 1st time in about 35 years i used one ! heres the results

looks better in real life . and thanks for the help and advice jeffery , another member came to the rescue with an engine for it just need to change the crankcases . Dave

That's looking very good.I wish mine was at that point.I'm glad some had a crank,as Ty hasn't had time to get me that engine as he is now preparing for his move of house.So far it's looking [Censored] good.

and good luck moving !! you guys seem realy busy lately doing that , i never wanna do it again . its getting a little closer to done , just wanted to see it almost together again , wrong engine though and still need to paint the cowling n stuff but looks ok when it warms up here then will be easyer . cheers

Hey Dave,
Finally bet this flu ive had you should have you new Engine by the end of the week all going well.

It's looking good so far,keep up the good work.

thanks for that painted the top today too . damn weather !! i gotta make some room in the shed soon hahaha . just all done and it rained , anyone would think im in vic' again cheers Dave

Well sometimes you just can't predict the whether,hey the Bureau of Meteorology can't even do that.So we have no hope.Hope it didn't mess up the paint.

nothing stripping and doin it again didnt fix but allgood now i would have taken a few pic's but still redduced to using my phone . and its an oold one too

OK then I won't ask for any pictures then.Keep up the good work,your still making me want to restore mine,but it will still have to wait.

ok 'cause ya didnt ask

its just sitting together atm . keep finding things i need ! (leaf guard) and stuff but its getting closer , same as most , not enough time now still the wrong engine and nothing bolted yet

Still looking pretty [Censored] good though.

getting a lot closer to done , engine rebuilt with another crankshaft , rings bearings seals , started 1st pull !!! amazed me , just havto fid stickers and paint the toering then see if i can find some better wheels for the jigger . a happy guy now


ran realy great when it got rid of the excess oil poor thing smoked the house out ! i'll need to close the window next time

i dont want to change the subject but is there a utility like this that has like skirts around the bottom? we have one up in the shed looks similar but has like extra guards around the edges

this one does too yes , just not finished yet i forgot it when i painted the base . look at the start of this , a few befores there . cheers , Dave
