My Roper 16T restore project

Nice deal on that drill press, Larry!

Gotta love Pawn Shop discounts!

 

[chieffan]

The Pawn Shop we go to has a tag on their larger items with a price drop every 10 days marked right on the tag. Keeps people coming back. Lot of times good buys, then there are the other times.

My Son works there and is able to check things over, also he gets me an employee discount.

Why is something that seems so simple to do be so hard?

Why is something that seems so simple to do be so hard?

Some days are like that.

I was able to save the tail light, abet a bit messy.

 

[larrybl]

Full day of electrical, and I am still not done.

 

[larrybl]

Good thing I used a 5A fuse.

 

[larrybl]

Electrical done and tested. Next up Fuel.

 

[larrybl]

Fuel is going the same as electrical, but it is alive!

Went to Uncle Willies favorite store today.

 

[larrybl]

Found the two main fuel issues.

 

[larrybl]

Fuel system work paid off nicely.

Briggs 18 Engine cosmetic restoration Part 1. Disassembly.

 

[larrybl]

Unfortunally, brake clean is a good paint stripper.

 

[larrybl]

The engine is looking great so far.

 

[larrybl]

Too windy for paint so I took care of another time consuming task on the engine.

 

[larrybl]

Today wasn't looking promising for painting, but it changed within a couple hours.

 

[larrybl]

Long productive day today.
