What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

[ck80]

So I'll make a simple. I didn't report to the admin the personal attacks you gave me a while back when you showed your a$$, I'm not that soft skinned. Nor the ones you continously choose to do.

You've come in with the attitude like you're the King Shít, and not just to me.

Since this is the thread about other projects, feel free to share what makes you think you have the reason for that attitude. I want to see it. For the more than 3rd time me asking you.

Don't rebut with an excuse. Instead of coming here criticizing others and what we have, show us what you have that makes you feel you're special..if it's worth bragging about..😉

This isn't a personal attack, if you feel like reporting to the admin like last time. This is you running your head like you're someone, again, and me putting you on the spot, again.

So if you choose to digress, well that's on you.

No need to digress as I live rent free in your head

Tore the Cub Cadet down today to clean it and get an idea of what I'm working with. Found and fixed a few issues, so far nothing major. A few more things to sort out yet.

First issue was the gear shifter wouldn't hit all 6 gears. I could hit the top 4, but not the lower 2 or neutral. Turned out to be some slop in the linkage. Tightened it up and it's fine. Second issue was the steering was off center- it would turn really hard to the right but not at all to the left. For some reason the steering rack was off center. Not sure how it got that way but the fix was not complicated. Unbolt the rack gear, and move it over a few splines.

The transmission on this thing is really strange. It is a gear drive, but it operates a lot like a hydrostatic. It uses the same case casting as the hydrostatic models, note the fan and not sure if you can see but there is an unmachined boss in the transaxle casting for a filter.

Did the steering jump because the hex hole the column shaft passes through get hogged out a bit and things loosened enough to slip?

Had one where I needed to put a little repair insert into there to tighten it up.

Not 100% sure. There was no smoking gun when I took it apart. It's a 25 year old tractor so it isn't super tight but nothing was worn so much that it should be slipping. I can't get it to skip teeth now that I've adjusted it so hopefully it was nothing major.

I have WAAAYYYY higher standards than what we are dealing with here. Not even in the ball park of my type... 🤣 🤣

How much longer until you LS swap one of these things?

You've got it all wrong.

This is, perhaps, the true 'better platform' he saved the buick engine for.....

Me and the neighbor up the street have toyed with that idea, he has a SBC on one and a Corvette Diff to help hold the power. Aluminum LS because of pure weight savings. Might even go primal and put a Carb on it. I'll have to wash my hands and shower after.
