Made a new lift link for the 1257 with the HY2 unit. Wanted something with a little adjustment to it. Still needs a little paint but works good with dozer blade.

Was using the wooden handle of this ball peen to push meat scraps into the grinder. The only thing that kept to whole handle from being completely devoured was the hammer head, Often sinew refuses to cut, when this happens I'll feed a bone into the grinder. Those carbon / silver brushes needed to be pulverized to burn the carbon, the grinder made short work of the task, this thing is a brute.

I think I found my issue. When I traced the wires from the pto switch, I found the wire to the brake safety switch was worn and making contact with the lift cylinder. Replaced the wire and rerouted it so it wouldn’t happen again. Got too cold to try to fire it up, but I’ll verify tomorrow to make sure that solved the problem.

This has been a really interesting post. Don't have much in the way of before/after pictures but one thing I observed is that almost every shop is packed full just like mine. I'd be at home in any of them.

You could always weld 2 rods on each backside. The bottom hole circular to match rod diameter. Top hole slotted arc to allow the side panels to float with the terrain. Washers (or plates?) and pins for easy removal.
-
That you can bet on.. There's a slot in the sides that could permit some trip movement or pivoting of the sides. I'm choosing to leave them firmly bolted in place for now. Likely look at bracing options tomorrow.
-
We're gonna need some videos of that in action!!! Afterthought Edit: Kinda negates the trip springs, I imagine
-
No, but I'd love to have one! My property gets totally littered with sticks and limbs every time the wind blows. Spring is a nightmare! This past Spring, after picking up the bigger limbs, I threw an old set of blades on and went after them with leaf vac. The bigger stuff went through the MacKissic!

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Got the C-120 ready for the impending storm they're forecasting. Since it's Thanksgiving weekend, I'm thankful that the hydraulic lift I installed is working great! And I got the last of the leaves picked up, which frees up the C-141 in the unlikely event we get enough snow to hook up the snowblower. -

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Well getting things prepped for the inevitable snow. Went out and put a battery in my bronco 14 with the 18hp Briggs vanguard v-twin in it. Started right up and ran exceptional after sitting for over a year. Last time i swapped the battery out I ground the positive terminal to the choke cable. It melted through the metal casing but the wire on the inside was still good. So being cheap as I am I redneck fixed it with a stick off the tree outside the garage and some electrical tape. Worked like a charm. The choke works like it should now. Temporary but probably long term fix 😂 -
The three you see are peacons, The water oaks might still have a few leaves, not enough to bother with.
-
I will have an operational machine in the next 12 hours! 😁😁

I bought my current Mac box around 1990. About 6 years ago I was cleaning the garage, and went to move it. I forgot to lock the drawers. I can barely roll it because it's so heavy. Well I got it moving but a wheel hit something on the floor and stopped it dead. All of the drawers came out and it toppled over. Tools everywhere and several bent drawer slides. I get the phone# for Mac corporate and tell them what happened. They sent me all new slides free of charge!
-
Your oak trees look almost bare Don. That's a good thing! You're almost done with leaves for this year!
-
Sounds like typical NC snow!

@nylyon just put on a new set of flat rubber bar snow chains , picked up 2 welded rings for spring pull point , and some springs at tractor supply , very tight set up , used a slim tapered bar as a spring hold / slider , let me plow and not damage any related driveways , pete

An old service bulletin that describes how the lift tube washers affect lift height.

Im ready for snowmobile season

If you have bearings on both ends this is a kit I have used with good results. A raw edge cogged belt is best for a S/G.
-
Anyone ever seen one?

Glad you weren't hurt! Definitely gives me pause, and again grateful for the chance to make sure it doesn't happen to me.

I was crying about the price of my Snap-On box when I bought it back in the early 90's. My dealers selling line - "If you are buying a tool box by the pound, Snap-On is the cheapest one on the market." Not sure if that was true, but he was able to sell me a tool box.
-
Thanks. I do plan on a more thorough second stage of cleaning once the unit is proven to be basically functional. Gotta hear it run and see it move first.
