What to do with the parts no one wants?
Retired Wrencher replied to Bill D's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
You are always thinking John. -
After babbling back n forth with a few guys here n there I decided it was unlikely to be something I could produce to my own satisfaction. @Wheel Horse 3D is making several pieces for me related to this project and others. The long pieces are two sets of frame rail extensions. Here is the tank end chunk.

It's true. The mice 🐁 have been very...... helpful .....

Done the same. We have a BUNCH of things to go through once wenget more shop time.

Could be the case of too good a quality bearing. I use a $4.00 PP204RR6 Napa bearing. When it fails it usually starts to smoke or stink or both. I keep a spare PTO bell on the shelf and swap it out and keep going. Then I fix the bad one as the spare. This keeps damage to a minimum. I think I have changed 2 bearings in 15 years.
-
Before I want back to work part time, I spent a couple of days in the shed going thru everything and writing it down. Put it all in a folder. I did this so if I see a wanted add, I can look in the book and say "I should have that, let me double check." I 've sold maybe 20 items since thru here or FB. I'm pretty sure I'm going to retire again fully within the year. Then I'll have to do the same with tools! Lots of duplication.

And it costs only pennies more than cold rolled too.

‘The retaining snap ring groove is intact. I will snap a pic when I quick paint the parts. I did face the nose a small bit when I cleaned it up on the lathe. The center bearing slowly gave out over time until the PTO pin slowly bent inward in use as the bearing collapsed. This dumb operator on the loader ( me) just kept tightened the PTO arm up and continuing to work but the PTO pin pin bent so as to be cut off .

What did you end up doing for the domed tank end?
-
I've got a cone clutch bell from my C-195 that the nose is worn past the C clip groove. Been thinking about how to fix it. Maybe machine the end flat, then drill & tap for a cap with the C clip groove?

4140 pre-hard is about Rc 40. Pretty tough when loaded in impact, too.

NAG, NAG, NAG! Just for that, you only get the quick & dirty picture. The deal officially closes at the end of the month. I get the MF, the trailer in the foreground, and everything on it except the tiller.

When we did this test before the voltage didn't go up or down, it stayed the same, but all of the other tests we have done such as checking for grounds and open circuits has checked out all right. The tractor was parked in the early 2000's and we brought it back out in '22 and it was charging fine until last winter and then no matter what we do we can't figure it out.

I saw this post/ thread after looking for some parts i knew i had for 45 minutes this afternoon. I found them but realized i picked up the plastic bag of them three times without looking in the bag! I then went to my desk and wrote out s note to buy some containers to take multiple parts i categorized on a list of p to both the Portland, Indiana Tri- State Engine Swap meet in May and the Big Wheel Horse Show in May. You can too much of a good thing! -

That has been my thought Jim, membership on this site should be the only prerequisite for taking what you want or need IMO. I can't make it to the show because of annual travel conflicts but someday that will likely change. Cleanup would be an issue though, inevitably. -
OK, I'll take everything in that pic + anymore you got! LOL You're more than welcome to throw a pile of stuff out on our set up in front of the vendor barns and get it to the next guy that needs/wants it. We sell it but you keep the money. Put a fair price on stuff and it'll easily move, try to get top dollar for every little thing and you'll be bringing most of home. Jay will take any leftover stuff you don't want. I take stuff people leave around the grounds in our area too just so the WHCC doesn't get stuck cleaning it up. There's a couple other guys that do that too. I see a frame, hood, hood stand and a belt guard + which is enough to get started on a tractor build giveaway tractor. Those things should somewhat match so there's no cutting/welding. I can donate a running 8hp Kohler engine plus more.

I was thinking the same thing......seeing that alot these days.

As crazy as that price is, the S&P 500 roughly paralleled it over those same years.

Wanna build a black hood...

My heavy front axle is from another brand (JD ) machine, and the 1 inch steering knuckles are too short for the trailer hub mod. So I am gonna try to modify them. They have a 3/8 tapped retainer hole drilled instead of using a castle nut like the 520. I'm gonna try and weld on some length using a 1 inch spacer drilled for 3/8 and make a different retainer. I'll grind out a deep "V" and weld it back up. We'll see how it goes... -
It appears that the outer snap ring groove is no longer there, please tell me I am wrong.

Some very nice work there. Looks like it was originally built that way! -
My take exactly. My thought is to take it to the BS and just give it away.

The last I heard the resident mice were checking things out for EB. So yes there is some progress happening.
