Happy Birthday!!
-
My 416H is a 1990 model, even the paperwork shows 6" wheels. I guess they had a surplus of small wheels. The only reason I know of to need 6"ers is if you mounted a 37" deck. I have a 414-8 roller that has 8" wheels, but I need to check the spindles for wear. Not warm enough yet! Thanks for the info, guys.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

I'm surprised Ricks 416H has 6" wheels. I thought the 4XXs had 8"ers. I switched all me 3XXs to 8" wheels.

’63 Blade was the last model with the foot-pedal release for rotation and the last time the quadrant was open at the top with close-spaced holes for three positions. Also first time trip springs had cast iron end-pieces. Blade Dozer 42in 1963 BD-4263 newer.pdf Starting in ’64, quadrant was enclosed (top and bottom) with handgrip actuated rotation release.

Nothing, wind is too cold, but I have parts!

-4 and windy here this morning. Been throwing the coal to the shop stove and still having a hard time getting temp upstairs, at end opposite stove, above 40. Stove is on the ground floor, wood shop on second floor. -
A herd of more than 20 has been seen not far from your house.

I thought they came with the side shifter model BD4271 with the foot pedal release. I know the 64 604 we had had the plow you pictured with the 702. Maybe they used both and was a buyer's choice?

Last year I lost 30 lbs. Went "off the wagon" and gained 20. Net loss 10. This year my food cravings have been absolutely uncontrollable on some days. Can't keep that pattern. At 10 AM, I'm around 39 hours into a fast, not counting half n half for coffee & tea. Feel good. 4 lbs down since Friday morning. 10 lbs down in about 2 weeks. I don't have a specific time length goal. Just going until I feel a serious energy drop. Hoping for sometime this afternoon but IF I feel tolerable I'll keep going.

Not much of a selection on 6" tires anymore but snoop around here. https://www.millertire.com/categories/lawn-garden-tires/4-10-6/

I gotta believe this plow is original to the tractor???

I'm already there Ed. I have a cab like yours with the glass windshield on the 2 stage blower machine.

@Achto looks like a penetrating oil soak down , clean cloth mineral oil , finish , no scrubbing of any kind , the patina will find itself , also note the frame corner underside 90 degree angle opportunity ? reduce rubber fuel line ? 5/16 steel brake line , also like STA BIL in all my fuels , no / zero debris in any related filters or carb bowls , never leave an empty tank , always ad an ounce or 2 , always trying something , if I had your shop space , I would be in more trouble than i,m already in , pete -

Never lost power. Breaker for the furnace tripped thankfully and didn't burn my house down. Lost it sometime between last Saturday and early Sunday. Finally got all the melted wires fixed. Simmering water and space heaters for a week. Dunno what dip stick home inspectors do. Pretty certain its "der uh stove get warmy' or "water make splashy" He just pointed out superficial nonsense like trim or shudders need paint. Completely missed the homeowner wiring in the crawl space.I do not do tight spaces. Probably could have fixed myself with a buddy to keep me from freaking out. Stay safe and warm out there gents and gals! -
We have a little hot water coil ceiling heater in one of the generator rooms at work. The fan motor died one winter and we needed heat fast so I hung one of those 9W refrigeration fans up there. It's hung with zip ties strung together. Been up there close to 15 years!

We love heating with wood, although the last few years I have bought firewood because of my back problems. Sure I could have just bought home heating oil with the money I spent on wood, but there’s nothing like a warm wood stove in the living room. Ours has been going for over a month straight now. It’s a Vermont Castings, the ash pan is removable while the stove is running so it never has to be shut down to clean out. I’m with @Ed Kennell my job today is to keep the stove stoked (currently 7 degrees outside) and make it so warm in my house that when people come to my house to watch the Super Bowl they complain it’s too hot 🤣🤣 -
Yep come to think of it the orginal 502 plow had it too.
-
Don't need help wet sanding ? Not really alot of parts on that little girl to do. Show 'Fish a pic of the exhaust fan Dan! It was an old POS furnace fan I rigged up in a window. Can't believe it still runs.
-
I had an original patina'd "side shifter "dozer plow and it had that same decal on it.
-
I can spray paint outside in the summer on a calm day. Park my truck 5 blocks away upwind and still have red paint on the clay bar when I detail it!
-
The vintage plow I got from @stevasaurus has got that same one that's why I thought that's what they used. He restored it tho so maybe he just put that on there because it looked good

@wallfish napa , macks chain / cable lube , stays with rotational movement , no rusty chain , also very good on automotive rustproofing , use a lighter penetrant first , highest run down spot , couple days out , notice the lower metal seaming ? oil film ? add the macks to that , it will track to same areas . every time I park next to a rotted anything , its SO PREVENTABLE , showed my grandson how to do this , did his entire car , loves it when I walk him thru a transition opportunity , we regularly talk / exchange ideas , questions , granddaughter too . always give them a big hug , grampa , pete

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Ed Kennell replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Might be a good time to sell my air conditioners.
