The Harbor Freight pressure washer didn't start after lunch, so if it don't snow tommorrow, me and my 93 year old helper will continue de greasing and continue this mechanical archiology project.

We just got some snow last week and it looks like it's not going away. The 35 is sitting right below the heater in the garage. You just reminded me though that my loyal old Karcher pressure washer died not long after cleaning up the 35.......you might want to watch for that. It started leaking a bit of oil which I attributed to the tractor.......it wasn't. The wife was pressure washing the deck when it went. Motor still runs just no pressure. Oh well, I had it 10+ years and bought it with rewards points through the Air Miles program. [Reply]  [No Email]

After sleeping in the house all night, the power washer is running again, so that's good. Bad news, there is a wet heavy snow falling. Manyana. [Reply]  [No Email]

And you bear a striking resemblance to YOUR northern cuzzin Lyle. Not sure if you'll take that as an insult or a compliment. The lunch? Way too obvious! The occasional Black Label can product placements are worth a comment, but a blatant plug for McDiks? I see the tail wheel on your back blade is very similar to the one I made from old satellite dish parts (mostly). This post was edited by Inno at 17:45:49 11/26/12. [Reply]  [No Email]

Bad enough I cheated.... and really I do prefer Carlings.... and mcDoubles... with Nestle's crunch bars for desert... I'm going to start taking bets on why it is tight. Might have a banana shaped connecting rod like last year's Perkins project... [Reply]  [No Email]

Maybe you should have washed the tractor before bathing as after washing off oil and grime I usually need to wash my face at least. I bet everyone around you can breathe more easily now..... If you get as long again without bathing someone else might just do your next big washdown!!! Sam [Reply]  [No Email]

That engine is on borrowed time. The arse end of that 35 might go on the back of this one, should I figure out why it is siezed so tight. AND I thought you would have something to say about my totally organic home made lunch.... you couldn't have missed that one? [Reply]  [No Email]
