It stopped raining and I got all the gaskets off and everything cleaned up. But it started raining again before I could reassemble it all.
What did you accomplish today?

It's all back together, the carb still needs some work but I tried to fire it up a few min ago. The wiring is shot so I'll have to go through it all or buy another harness. I also sawed the back of the frame off where it goes past the original E350 frame, there is still enough room for that truck bed if I like how it looks.
Years ago I had a built F150, lifted, custom built 351 engine, Mud terrain tires on nice rims, etc - and then Mrs GWN rolled it so I bought a clean F250 diesel truck that the dude drove into to the river too deep & seized the motor.
I decided to just swap my built motor into the diesel frame & it worked great right up until I tried to work the electrical - nada.
I had to remove both front and rear harness's out of each truck & work the 150 harness into the F250. Whatta bitch !
But when I was done it was one bad ass truck!

Started a few hours ago, just finished up.
Maintenance on the lawn tractor-
Took off the old and replaced with new, upper drive belt, lower drive belt and deck belt. Oil change, oil filter change and fuel filter change. Spark plug change. Air filter change. Greased the axles. Also while I had the deck off to change belt, I went up to the carwash and power washed the deck. Also popped off the blades and sharpened them when I got back.
Ready to cut some grass now.

How much one of those run a person?

couple grand for that size... based on size. 5 yr. guarantee...and the fabric doesn't last forever. They say you get 10 yrs. before it needs new fabric. And it's just for sun shade. Heavy rain/wind will crack plastic arms.

Have to figure something else. One reason I wanted it was for rain.

There's a company called Sunsetter's that makes them. I guess that's why the name--not for heavy weather.
Mine was from local company...but same basic thing. You need a fixed metal for any weather.
It's cool...but I may have put in a small metal awning there if I was doing it over. The jury is still out, I envision more night things there...and it's been known to rain at night. Time will tell.

I have heard of sunsetter.
I don't need it to stand up to real bad weather. I just like sitting outside when it rains.

Saved my neighbors life. He was on his riding mower, he went up on a noll and the mower tried to tip over in him thus cutting off his big toe & one beside of it. Tied a turnacute and rushed him to the hospital...
