LB D600 series shortblocks- compatability within series?
Comments (4)Hi Walt, Thanks as always with your great help. I appreciate it! My mower us the 8230, a 1972 self propelled model, D640 block, and the self propel drive shaft entering the rear of the engine at deck level. The new 'donor' engine assembly is labeled as "D600, part # 679907" and is new old stock parts out of a box, not from a specific mower model. I am guessing without actually buying the new assembly, and doing a side to side comparison, it is a bit of a guess as to compatability?...See MoreLife is good , Free LB 7073 runs great
Comments (4)Of course it would have helped to have the model number. But if you are really talking a 30 year old Lawn Boy, that black plastic wheel you are talking about is not a governor adjustment, it is the Carb main jet adjustment. Obviously, you were running way too rich. The governor on that LB is under the flywheel and is mechanical, not air vane. The adjustment you have seen for "F" and later LBs does not result the symptoms nor cure the symptoms you describe. Walt Conner...See More1972 LB 8230 gets a second lease on life by stroke of luck
Comments (2)Congrats on the luck in keeping the LB running! Either way, I'm sure you could yourself with some advice here, replace any bearing in that engine if need be, much less find another MORE CAPABLE shop to do the work. Would seem to me that any reputable shop with qualified techs could have visually inpsected the blade and told you to replace it before "concurring" that the engine needed a new bearing/s. A blade has to be bent or worn down enough through repeated uneven sharpenings to cast that much vibration through the engine for you to feel it. Anyway, good to hear any revival or renewing of the great-ol-legends that live on! I know I'm totally hooked on em'!...See MoreEnjoyable roses along with enjoyable recipes
Comments (257)I find that yogurt is great if I have a few bites after a meal, but NOT to sub. that with fiber-rich foods. I like yogurt for hot summer, and soup for cold winter. Excerpt from below link: "Drawing on health data from more than a 100,000 participants in three long-running studies — the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986 to 2010), Nurses’ Health Study (1980 to 2010), and Nurses’ Health Study II (1991 to 2009) — the researchers found that a daily serving of yogurt was linked to an 18 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes. " Yogurt may reduce type 2 diabetes risk – Harvard Gazette Yogurt also reduces the risk of colon rectal cancer. Husband's grandmother died of colon cancer and his Mom had breast cancer & masectomy at 40, but his colonoscopy after 60-year old was perfect: zero polyps thanks to his marathon running, plus he eats yogurt daily for breakfast. Higher Yogurt Consumption Is Associated With Lower Risk of Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies - PubMed (nih.gov) My note: Yoplait and DanActive both contain a HUGE amount of sugar, but I have good results with probiotics pills: Culturelle and Fem-Dophilus from the below chart. Both are patented & developed by doctors and CANNOT BE FOUND in fermented foods. Click on below link to see what probiotics are in fermented foods: Instead of buttermilk, I use plain yogurt and sour cream to tenderize chicken breast. Instead of baking it in the oven, I sauté on a saucepan with olive oil. Yogurt makes chicken breast very tender in below geniuskitchen recipe. CHICKEN BREAST WITH SOUR CREAM 1⁄2 cup sour cream or 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt 1⁄4 cup lemon juice & 1⁄2 teas. Worcestershire sauce 1⁄2 teas. celery seed & 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika 2 -3 cloves fresh minced garlic 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and black pepper 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes In a very large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; mix well. Pound chicken breasts thin & dry with a paper towel. Place the breasts in the mixture; turn to coat evenly, (make sure that each piece is completely coated with sour cream mixture).Refrigerate overnight. Remove the chicken from the marinade; coat each piece with the dry bread crumbs, that have been mixed with 1 tsp seasoning salt. Bake, uncovered in a PREHEATED 400 degree oven, for 20 minutes. Turn off oven, let rest for 10 min. to finish cooking....See Moresleeperblues
