Re: 200
Looks like a pretty complete machine you have found to work on. The restoration looks like it is coming along nicely. I was also looking for the 3/8 roll pins with no luck. I will check some more suppliers in my area and let you know if I have any luck on this go around. Looking forward to seeing th...

Re: 4/16/17 Happy Easter Chat with a side of loader
Hi Bruce, Looks like you have your work cut out for you until the snow flies. So happy to see you added some yellow and black into your red collection. Don't work to hard and have a great summer.

Fun in the snow
I just got this finished right before a nice snowfall, might be our last of the year as our temps are getting warmer. It was a perfect time to see how it performed.

I would like to thank all the people on this forum for the endless information, advice and access to parts. Especially Barrie, Peter and Bruce.

Recoil
I got my starter/recoil issue finally resolved this weekend. Just posted some info on Q&D about Hus-skis. The recoil was bought separately from the JLO. Ended up reversing the recoil, getting a longer cable, needing an intermedite plate and buying new pawls,caps and springs. Everything is working ni...

Re: Recoil cable length
I received my 65" cable and started over with the recoil. I took my time and was careful with the spring got it unwound slowly, removed the drum and installed the new cable. I inspected the spring and it was clean, no rust or dirt. Only thing the small loop end of the spring that goes in the drum wa...

Final Assembly
Starting to look like a 444. Just about complete, have to install the starter cable and recoil.
Wish I knew how many hours went into this project.
I bought it 4/16/16. A little less than a year for the restoration.

Muffler Mount Bracket
It was suggested by Barrie to change the mounting bracket location on the muffler. The original brackets were mounted to the rigid part of the engine frame and the vibration over time would crack the material. The fix is to change the mount to the cylinder head area. Across from the spark plug you c...
