Mine are similiar to Norms, rocker arm valve springs attached with washers and a wooden plug and rubber gorilla glued to top of springs. Little softer ride than the rubber bumpers. Had to experiment with the wooden plug to achieve the perfect height.

Thanks Norm and Winston, I appreciate the good option. May use something like this for every day and keep the originals for down the road.

Wonder why a yellow colored bumper?? I can see where yours is shorter than mine....I have been talking with Gary and will get the originals ....but the yellow color would not have been my first choice.
Is this seat supposed to rock back and forth on the hinge?? Just does not seem stable??
Got my Hoyts box in today...unfortunately I am out of town so will be tomorrow before I can see my goodies.
Have to work all weekend so no sure when I am going to get the chance to pull the head off. Mowed a little grass before I left and was impressed with the way it cut. Looked better than my craftsman.

i ditched all that stuff and made a box tube frame and fitted an adjustable seat on it so the hugs n kisses could use it as well. her feet wouldnt reach the pedals before i did this. so in effect i dont have any cushioning under the seat but i cant notice any difference in its ride. i think you will find the previous owners prolly did their own mods so its hard to compare. mine was fairly original apart from some wiring butchery which i have now fixed.

Not sure why the color is what it is, but that's how they came... :licking:
Niether one of my seats rock with me sitting on them at all. My third tractor has a "home made" seat like Neats' I would guess in that it used no bumpers, but the seat itself is sprung, like the truck driver's had before they went to air ride seats. I think I already posted a picture of that one on this thread.
I wouldn't drive one of these very fast without some sort of suspension under my backside. They can ride rough at full speed on the bumps.

Well got the head off and took it to the machine shop....head looks good so no worry there.
I have the radiator at the shop to test and clean......
Took a few pictures of the cylinder and top of engine.....look like 280 hours??
That is supposed to be the hours on the motor.
1- saw alot of stuff on the water pump fan....hard as a rock....turns fine just has this build up....this normal?? I think it sat up for a year before I bought it.
2- Valve cover almost looks like it was not a solid piece but may out of a tube??this normal??
Thanks for any input....bought a parts manual today so will have a better idea of what goes where....

Pistons sure don't have alot of carbon on them, that's for sure..
My guess with the water pump is they probably used tap water instead of the proper stuff. Mineral deposits probably.
I'd have to look at my GT14 valve cover, it's off the engine.

Just looked at what I wrote on the valve cover notes..just to make myself clear ....I meant the gasket on the bottom looks more like it was made with a something out of a tube rather than a solid gasket..I can see some run off in side the value cover.......there were lips/edges on the outside.......I was scared to try and pull it off...but it maybe a solid gasket...just hard to tell....

Well, once you get the new gasket in, you can let us all know.

Well have put the 146 back together and I think she is running fine....I am guessing these diesels are supposed to shake alot at low rpms, right?? Once I give it some more throttle it smooths on out. Does not seem to reach as high a rpm as my 187???
No leaks so far....working on the deck now so by the weekend should be able to get some mowing time in....should get a good idea if I have fixed my leaking head gasket problem.
I have little knowledge of diesels....never had one until the 187 I bought last year and this 146. How can I tell if the engine is operating correctly?? From all I can tell it runs fine....just not 100% sure it is running at full capacity? As I mentioned above does not seem to go as high rpm as the 187.....and not sure about all the power being there...I am assuming a pressure test on the cylinders would be my best bet??
thanks,
