I got one small one checked off my list on Friday- a spare spindle for our 285. Last winter Dad got a used one out of the junk yard because the threads were stripped on the one on the tractor. I ended up building up the shaft on that one and turning it down before installing it.
We were gonna scrap the old one, but then I got a bug to see if I could fix it, or atleast how difficult it would be. I repaired the threads a number of months ago, but the shaft was worn on this one as well. I finally got around to repairing that on Friday.
Next Friday I'm gonna work on the spare spindle for our 1855. That one is a bit more involved- the shaft is bent a little where it went inside the forging, and the bore that the shaft goes in is elongated. Gonna weld up the bore and mill it out, hopefully for a light press fit with the shaft (gotta build that up and turn it down too) and then weld it back together.
After that, I think I'm gonna fix the seat frame for my 1600, and after that possibly tackle taking the radiator out of the 1855 that's leaking and possibly looking at the turbo-I think it's dumping oil into the exhaust.

Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
