Arky,when and if things slow down this winter pull the old engine apart new or used head rings,valve grind,check bearings .Might not be a new one but could bail you out in the future.Remember if your ready for a problem it will never happen.Frank C.

Arky, haven't been on much, so I missed Wanda's misfortune. Hope I didn't jinx you. Glad she is up and going again. Hope you had a good Gobble day.

  The new engine does make the rest look pretty sad.  Wanda does has some scars and wear over the years.  It does run good.

  I am looking for another scrapped 25 hp.  I will need a head.  I was told that they do not really have rebuild parts for them and what they do have is high priced.  I will look into it and see.

Glad to see she is swinging away again. Not inferring she is a swing mill, don't tell her I said that.

Any chance you could post a close-up of the head

Did ya replace the light bulb?

[ARKANSAWYER]

   No I did not replace the light bulb.  The building she is in has lights and power so we can saw at night.  Since she does not move any more I do not worry about them.

arky--look on ebay for the head--and other parts--i see them on there every so often-----

I don’t think our Terex repair is going to so easy.   
..........The repair guy called about 1:30 and he’d come up with a plan and we talked it over as well as some other topics.  We agreed the repair was going to be a challenge due to the tight hole where the break is located. Said it’d more likely be Friday (tomorrow being Thanksgiving) before he gets it repaired and the other service work done we’d asked for.
..........................

How'd the repair go?  What did they have to do, anything besides welding?
