What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ebinmaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Cool. I may have a couple more parts in that bin too. Some of the spares for The Ugly Bruce tractor won't be needed. -
Trina also has a larger battery powered chainsaw. That's a 14" bar I believe. Kobalt brand. Also an excellent purchase. Not at all. She finds it very easy to regulate the amount. If anything, I'd rather see it dole out more oil.

Oh joy! Working with lead free solder is a whole new animal...... much safer, but requires getting used to. Lead free does not go from shint when wet to dull when sloidified - it stays dull throughout the entide process. Tougher to gauge just what stage it is...

Well, they all got some sun this weekend. One got to mow, one was on trailer moving duty, and one said, "WTH? I thought I was your favorite!" -
Concord NC? You're just 20 minutes away. Nice to see another local member. Welcome to the sickness!

Got the donor frame/ hydro cleaned up this evening. It was really nasty so I just loaded it and went to the car wash. -
Recycling deck blades vs regular 42 inch deck blades
Lane Ranger posted a topic in Implements and Attachments
Fyi I was removing my 42 inch recycling deck blades and noticed a difference between the regular 42 inch blades and ghe 42 recycling deck blades that I never paid attention too before. The recycling blade in second picture is on top and has a longer cutting edge. The regular 42 blade is on bottom and has about a two inch shorter cutting edge. Both blades would work on either mower deck from what i can tell. Anyone have any more details about this difference?? -
One other tip for you. Run the two nuts towards the front of the plow & lock them together. Make sure that you can spin the handle freely. This allows you to adjust the plow without tools. You may ask "Won't it get out of adjustment while plowing ?'" Answer is "No", look at how worn down the share is on the upper plow in the pic below. I have never had it move on me in all the time that I have used this plow.

Also turn that hairpin cotter pin around or the dirt will push it out, or use a standard cotter pin. Your plow looks awesome by the way 👍🏻 Almost too nice to get dirty, but hey they meant to get dirty!!

Yes! He sent me some hydro decals with it so that threw me off a little. Thank you guys for the help! -

Always heard it was supposed to be lucky for it to rain on your wedding day. I bet the farmer was glad to see it rain for several reasons.
-
Another tip: See your first pic of the non-restored plow. See the adjustment screw? Compare the exposed threads with the restored-plow pics. That will get you in the ballpark.
-
Looks like you have the tip sucked in too far. Mount the plow on the tractor. With the plow down the land slide should be about 1" off the ground. This is a good starting point. The manual that @Razorback posted will help you with your set up/

Sorry, no help on the OT. We had a rig similar to this with all Coleman 17' Ram-Xs.

Here's the manual I have saved for my Brinly plows. It will describe how to adjust yours. Good luck!!! Plowing is FUN!!! (when it's adjusted correctly!!) PP_51BH.pdf

@Easton Rich Did you figure out where all the new decals went? -
Since I was led to this posting, here are some of the dealer decals on some of my herd. The Bair Decals from N Canton is still in business.

After using a wire brush on a drill to get the metal super clean. I warmed the tank up & gave it a good coat of paste flux. Used a mini torch to heat the metal and used a silver bearing solder for metal work. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Harris-Products-Group-3-oz-Lead-Free-General-Metal-Solder/1000858196

You should be OK. The land slide should sit in the bottom of the ploughed furrow. To get it there you need to turn the adjusting screw which will raise the hitch mount. This is adjusting what is called the suck. It should plow at the desired depth with no down or up force from the tractor lift. The mould board pulls the plough into the soil until the landslide hits the bottom of the furrow and it also helps the plough to run straight. Once adjusted I am sure your coulter will clear the plow. The front mount looks correct. It is welded at a angle to keep the plough flat in the furrow with the right tractor wheels down in the previous furrow.

Epic Trip, for a Horrible Purpose! Planned New RV turns Remorseful…

I don't have any prior knowledge or experience with this plow as I will be a first-time user. Need some help please. I brought this well used plow, which I believe is a Brinly PP-500 series as the exploded part view seems to match up with my plow. Completely disassembled the plow, removed all rust, primed, painted, (wheel horse red of course) and re-assembled with new fasteners. Having trouble with the coulter blade, as it doesn't seem to fit this plow? Please refer to the pictures below. It appears to mount only one way, but it seems too big for this plow. Do I have the right size coulter blade? What am I am doing wrong? Also is the front yoke assembly mounted correctly? Thanks

An auction strikes again!
TonyToro Jr. replied to TonyToro Jr.'s topic in non tractor related discussion
Here’s some better pictures of the stuff all you guys are interested in! Tommorow I have to finish working on my pulling tractor so maybe Tuesday we will try and start the d-200. The previous owner put an electric fuel pump on also so I will be leaving that on. And will replace the fuel lines. The other 310-8 doesn’t look to bad but also has half a tank of good fuel so we will put a battery in that and see what it does. And the giant vac we will also see if it runs! And it also came with the tubes! Enjoy the pics! I will also probably be looking for a snow plow for the d-200 and possibly a tiller. So if any of you guys have one in the CT area please let me know. -
What tools and supplies did you use for silver soldering? I tried doing that on a model boat boiler. Couldn't get the solder to stick. I cleaned everything up and went to Stay Brite solder. That is more of a lead/tin alloy with a low percentage of silver added - lower melting temperature.

love my Dewalt electric chainsaw and pole saw... Auto oil... really does the job.
