Hey Mr. BB, have just this morning been working on getting Karel's Hood refurbished in preparation to figure out how to get to fasten it to Karel's Chassis.I've had several Craftsmen lawn tractors over the years and all had a label on the underside of the hood with belt numbers, air filter #'s and more.
There IS a label on the underside of the Hood, but it contains only a disclaimer that lists what and what is not covered by the warranty, along with a list of reasons why the warranty would not be honored, such as if the unit is being rented out, and etc.
Am presently awaiting an E-Mail from the V-Belt Guys saying that the Belt that was ordered has shipped, but so far no word.
Have come up with a "sort-of" solution to the Hood Assembly Problem that can be implemented using stuff that is here. My father used to call doing this "Joe McGee-ing". The good news is that there is a lot of stuff here that can be used to Joe McGee this project. If what is being pictured actually works, it should be somewhat more substantial that the original arrangement. It involve a length of Aluminum Tubing, a slightly longer length of All Thread, and a Couple of Strap Brackets to hold the Aluminum Tubing to Karel Front Frame Rails. The Hood will pivot around the Aluminum Tube, and to take the Hood off it, the All Thread running through the Tube would have to be removed. That wouldn't be too difficult, but the good news is that in all the time that Karel has lived with me, have never had the occasion to remove the Hood. Would provide JPGs but the Samsung Galaxy III has bit the dust, and there is not another camera to be had.
Anyway, thanks for the response. Will keep you all updated if, when, and as progress occurs.
Hope this finds YOU doing well. Take care. Stay safe.
