Spent most of Saturday in the barn.
Moved sickle mower frame over so drive
shaft was straight. Then greased it up
good. Found a zerk on one u joint that
was broken off. Looks like it never got
grease. Fixed that. Also , after close
inspection we saw that the inner part of
drive shaft was bottoming out. So we
trimmed it a couple inches. Then
tightened up a couple sections and
adjusted the wear plates. Cut my lawn
for 15 minutes and only got one clunk
sound, that was when i locked up one back
tire and whipped around hard. Maybe
that's fixed. Then we put a starter on
the "new" cub. And new metal gas line on
the 951. Fuel cutoff under gas tank was
leaking so rebuilt it. Also got new water
pump on. Got fan and alternator back on.
Now the float is sticking!! Grrrrr.
