Oh, the greenhouse is definitely LONG, LONG term. Goats are certainly the focus now. Right now we are spending so much time giving them attention and learning, we don't have time (or finances) to tackle anything else right now. At least we have a built in source of fertilizer :whistling:

Thanks guys. We are having a lot of fun with it. We've learned a lot, but know we still have a lot more to learn. BTW, since one of Monica's goals is to have a greenhouse to sell flowers and such, we have named our farm the Flowering Goat Farm.

Finally here are some pictures of our "new" Alpine. She is actually the oldest one of the herd at 3 years old. This is her first breeding. She has been a very good Mom. She is also a very good producer. She is producing more milk than the kids are drinking so we are having to milk her twice a...

Here are a few more shots of our Boer and Alpine. In addition this is the little Pygmy that we bought. Including my daughter watching her play, Monica bottle feeding her, and then me and Skylar taking a nap in my recliner. The last picture is of my and our first Alpine. She is "my buddy" and...

First some background info. About 4 years ago we put the kids into 4-H. Started looking at taking goats, but couldn't find anyone with experience to help us. End up passing on animals the first year. Didn't like the club - they were boring and didn't do anything. We switched clubs. Found one we...

Well, here we are a year later. I have to say, we truly love Rural King. All 5 of us. From me clear down to our 4 year old. We have spent way too much money there over the past year. Nice employees and very helpful. We have bought a ton of stuff there this year for our little goat endeavor. Kids...

Very nice job. Maybe add some additional holes so you can control the depth of the rippers? I know depending upon what I'm doing I and the soil conditions I will have to change the depth of my rippers.

That is way too cool. I want one.:clap:

OK, I'm with you guys, but I haven't figure out how to time this engine yet since the flywheel is held on by a woodruff key. We are camping this weekend, looks like I need to take my documentation with me and do some studying of it.... Thanks for everyone's help, I'll keep you informed.

Damp. The other thing I forgot, occasionally with ether, I will get a backfire but have only had a few of those.

OK, a little bit of an update on this. I was able to find the part I broke for the carb. Even managed to get a rebuild get for it. I cleaned the carb and can get air to go through everything and everything moves free. I replaced all of the old gaskets and such and replaced with the new ones...

**&(*^&*&^*&(&)&(*) grumble grumble, I came home tonight and instead of going in and changing close and looking at the diagram, I walked to the barn and started messing with the carb. I broke the high speed screw. :cuss: Fortunately I found 1 new one on ebay. $13 & free S&H. Also ened up...

I thought of the starting fluid last night, but when I went to my shelf that I keep all of that stuff on, 8 cans of PB Blaster, 3 or 4 of WD-40, 2 Engine Degreasers, 1 battery acid cleaner, 3 Brake Parts Cleaner, 4 Silicone Lubricants, and a few other odd balls tossed in there, but no starting...

New plug is in, but still no start. Really strong spark now. Pulled the new plug it didn't appear to be getting fuel. Pulled the carb. It is dry as a bone. I disconnected the carb from the fuel pump and turned the engine over. The fuel pump appears to be moving fuel well. A lot of fuel came out...

I worked on it a bit tonight. I pulled the flywheel and got to looking real close at the pulse transformer. I notice the wire coming from the magneto had been pinched at some time. I pulled it off and cut the end of the wire and soldered a new end on it along with a new connector that went on to...

This is a Tecumseh HH120, but I think from how you are describing it, it is the same concept. Haven't had a chance to get back at it, I might have a few minutes tonight or tomorrow night.

I stopped last night and picked a battery up for this tractor. I've also been looking at the manuals and stuff for the engine and tractor that I have found online and folks have sent me. The wire that I thought went to the magneto actually goes to the side of the block (which is where I thought...

Yeah, got the ignition switch reinstalled tonight. I installed jumper wires in place of the two safety switchs and got the starter turning over with the ignition switch. Now I need to pull the cover back off the engine and hook the "M" wire from the ignition switch to the magneto somewhere. Not...

It was raining here Saturday afternoon so I had a chance to work on this some. Looking at the electrical diagram on Sear's website and the parts diagrams, I think I have this figured out. Looks like I was right on the brake switch, however there is a little tab held on by a cotter key that is...

I've never charged it. Had to jump it once when Addyson was out "mowing" with it and left the key on, but that has been it. I figure at this point the battery is "done" and I'm getting a bonus right now.:thewave:
