@ebinmaine You could start off with building a model of how it will eventually look😀 -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

I put studs on all of my tractors. Best mod ever. I got a box of 25 off of ebay a while back. 7/16x20 Tap bolts. I need to order some more for my last project. -

I’m in South Glastonbury. About 20 minutes from Hartford. If you need any parts I may have what you need. And to!!
- Today
-
I'm not sure. I have a 314H that is next but I will likely start tearing it down in the summer when it is easier to clean and paint.

Front hitch installed. Receiver slid into front hitch then front end lifted off of jack stands. Jack stands and bar through mid tach removed. Tractor sitting on all four wheels.

What are you gonna do when you're done with this resto and you have nothing else to do?

Rear wheels ready to be installed. Wheels were previously painted and had new tires installed. Rear wheel lug nuts ready to install. These are chrome open end 7/16-20 NF. GM used this size for years so they are not too hard to find. Tractor ready for rear wheels to be installed. Tractor lifted by rear receiver hitch then jack stands and bar through hitch shaft boss removed. This bar cannot be removed after the wheels are installed. Left rear wheel installed and lug nuts snugged. Right rear wheel installed and lug nuts snugged. Rear wheel clearance checked on both sides. I was a little worried because I installed 23x10.5-12 tires instead of the stock size of 23x9.5-12 mainly because the larger size is more readily available. Clearance is fine. Rear wheels installed and tractor on the ground for the first time. Rear wheel lug nuts torqued to 50 ft/lb after setting parking brake to hold tractor in place.

Oh yeah. Primer can change the tone of paint, but it doesn't effect the quality -
1973 10hp 8spd Revival/Budget Resto
Chris689 replied to Chris689's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Yeah that’s the only reason I run it. I’ve had a few machines over the years and an F150 I converted to run a carb that I ran 87 in by mistake because I wasn’t paying attention at the pump and as a result the pinging was god awful. So I’ve made it a point to run premium in anything with a carb because of this issue. By no means do I believe octane is a power adder. -
I used to try and save money on air filters, now I just change them. Some machines are, like the one my daughter uses, is running in very dusty condition, replace it more often. I have used a pre-spray from AFE, my son left a bottle here, just like Dan says it is nice to use. no fuss or muss. Usually I just go dry. All of my workers are big twins and they suck a lot of air. hey cut a hole, double stack and run 2 years! shaker hood

Is that a good think -

Pullstart replied to Chris689's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Honestly, that’s just a waste of money compared to 87. The ethanol content is the same, and the low compression of these small engines does not require the octane levels. Remember octane does not build power, it prevents pre-detonation. -

Looks like he needs to change out his brake drum seal. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
My sons bought small spacers for his tractor, last night I installed one side. Had to remove the hub set screw and replace with a 1/4” shorter one so that the two bolts heads wouldn’t hit. The 7/16 x 20 x 2” bolts can be a pain to find. -
I forgot to mention, that this will not fix the issue, just reset the clock. These transmissions are pretty much all destined for failure. @Bow_Extreme has researched this topic very heavily and we are convinced these should not have been designed and produced the way they were. I also have a feeling that if I can manage to execute this well, it will likely not be the last time I do the swap on this kind of vehicle.
-
In this video, I cover differences that I need to overcome for the swap to be effective. Unfortunately, the flexplate holes are not slotted enough to make up the difference in torque converter bolt pattern diameters. I’ll need to address that.
-
No money to be made here, but the truck is paid for, and needs big repairs one way or another. We could throw $8,500+ at the 6L80 transmission that’s in Mrs. P’s 2019 Suburban, or I can upgrade to a newer and less plagued 10L80 transmission for less. Pick my poison!
-
About those crank windows… the 99 and up GM trucks have the same cable regulator as the power windows. No more gear to gear arm cranks Mrs. P’s 2019 is on the hoist right now with the plagued 6L80 transmission going out. The torque converter, pump and even the bellhousing are wearing each other away, and all that contamination falls INTO the fluid.
