Ya having all kinds of fun....

Hot in that garage!! Prayers Up!!!

Run Great one day like crap the next. Ya hear that Skid?? That's why my buddy always left the "Blue Beast" in the dust. And how I learned abut them. Anyway does moisture seems to make a difference?? You probally do need to replace that one or at least pull and dry. Lot of info on here about that. Pulling it is a bear. Getting to those screws can be fun. Make sure you have a screwdriver tip that fits right. Not a fun part of these things. Call me if you got questions.

My 50 inch Cadet will knock it down in a hurry if you don't have to dodge too many things. If I left today I might get there by MD and could avoid getting that Big Silver thing!!!

Maybe if I hide in garage early I won't get caught for yard work. Prayers Up!!!

84 to 89 will work for yours. You must remove battery and battery box to access it. Then you can see its two connectors. Should be some pics here somewhere. Search for TCI. Removing it and moving it out of the spot it is in can protect it from a lot of water. If you remove and clean connections it could fix your problem. If you are lucky!! Another fix is baking it in the oven to dry it out at low temps for couple hours. And you can also open it very carefully to check condition of circuit boards inside. ( Not for the faint of heart.) There should be a lot of info here on getting it moved to a better location and getting it dried out. I'm sure someone will post that does pics. I don't even keep a camera.

She caught me with mower key. Prayers Up!!!

If you look at the grommets when you have them out if I remember right you pull the grommet off the bolt. Go to Hardware and buy fiber washers to fit. Then put washer on bolt then grommet. This makes the bolt push a little more on the cover. Make sense?? There is a pretty good selection of washers at Lowe's. I used one maybe 1/16th of a inch thick. Stopped the leak. Grommets are not easy to take off bolts!!!

With my understanding of things that don't require a BFH and a wrench I'm still not sure what I have. One of the reasons I haven't got into that mess on the horn. I've "looked" at it 100 times. Just can't see anything wrong. Will the 99 put Tom Tom sound thru to headsets??

Ya'd do anything to stay off that mower wouldn't ya?? Good job on the Pics. I wish I had the Gray matter to try that.

There was a trick for adding washers to the grommets here somewhere to snug them up a little. DO BE CAREFULL with the wrench on those shoulder bolts.

This Day is for those that didn't get to come home. R.I.P. Brothers. You will never be forgotten.

Thanks Bongo. Cain't never remember that.

TCI Pull battery and box and clean connections. If you are lucky this will help. Pulling TCI and moving it to top of battery is a option to keep it out of the spot it is in where it gets a good bath in wet weather. There should be a thread here om opening it and baking dry. TCI's are getting hard to come by. Watch E-Bay for one that will work. I can't remember what years work on what . Got it wrote down somewhere. Somewhere. Cain't find right now. But read up on TCI. Tach dropping out is one of the 1st signs of TCI woes on a 1st Gen. Buying one from Dingy is the best cure. He was doing a package that included everything needed but not sure he is now.

Hope you got some sleep Patti. I ain't sure up I'm up early or just late. Prayers Up!!!

Sandman slacking again. Prayers Up!!!

It would smoke.

Had a snowball battle on top of Pikes Peak in 1970 and went to the top of the biggest rock in "Garden of the Gods" without ropes or anything!!!

Rain!! Good chance to watch Big 12 Game. Prayers Up!!!

Check E-Bay for one. I've been lucky with them. Repairing them? Clean connections and try it before you start tearing it apart. Or buy one from Dingy. Not sure he has any now.

Chased the Warden all over town. I think she must have run out of money. Prayers Up!!!

Might be worse Eck is draining the oil, changing filter, pulling out drain pan, pouring in 5 qts of fresh new oil looking down and oil is running all around your feet just as you notice that oil plug sitting on the tool box!!

Good one. I've had to deal with a bad Rap here in my hometown ever since my stint with Outlaw Club back in 70s. I wasn't living here then but came home to visit wearing Colors and that is all it took. The stories were invented and I'm still in that shadow. Even my 20 years in uniform with a badge didn't stop it. I was only a Correctional Officer but my badge was spotless. Didn't make a difference. I've never claimed to be a "Biker" but some of the stories around here are plain nuts. Just gotta keep on keeping on. OK I'll quit whining.

I'm up. Prayers Up!!!

My Mom would have said " Ya dingbat didn't I teach you better?" Then bragged about it to all her friends.
