Trying to find a home for this B-80 that is obviously not running ... otherwise it may have to be destroyed. Free to anyone that can come and get it. Located in Greensboro Florida which is about 15 minutes from Chattahoochee Florida.

The U.S. Open in my backyard
squonk replied to c-series don's topic in non tractor related discussion
As someone who's first job was mowing greens and roughs on a golf course I ask, Where the heck are all of the trees? The course I worked at had more trees in one hole than that place. Looks terrible! -

The U.S. Open in my backyard
stevasaurus replied to c-series don's topic in non tractor related discussion
Love playing and watching golf ! My game is really suffering in my old age, but I still love being out there. I used to be a bogy golfer...that means, I always hit at least one great shot that keeps you comming back. The last time the Open was around here was Medina When Raymond Floyd won. -
I don't see # 70. Are you talking about # 47?

I was in the A Z barn and saw the storm clouds coming. I got back just in time to take control of the ship! -
TSC has sleeve adapters for 3 point systems ranging from CAT 0-3, in thin and thick wall sizes. Also, you can search Amazon for 3/4 ID steel bushings, but both options require cut and re- welding to repair. Just a thought. I use those steel bushings all the time and have had good luck with both sources.

Given that you're running the smaller pulley, I would strongly suggest you run that 14hp at full throttle any time you move that tractor. Hydros require a certain RPM to function properly, which is why the 5.25 front pulley is used. Even with the larger pulley, the manuals all recommend a minimum of half throttle or more for hydro operation. I'm sure someone here can give the exact RPM difference but better safe than sorry.

Happy Birthday 🎉

My friends badly worn RM 366 deck on his 856 is eating drive belts for the deck. One issue is the idler pulley sits at an angle because the hole in the end of the idler arm is wallowed out. (part# 6636 item 70) I had an extra but it is worn also. Any ideas on how to fix it. There is so little metal around the hole I don't think drilling it bigger and putting in a sleeve will help.

Questions about the value of... stuff
wfopete replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
If you don't work on them yourself (and enjoy doing so) then GIVE it to someone who does. A big box store riding mower is going to run a couple of grand minimum. Most times taking it to a shop is out of the question due to cost and they likely won't take it in anyway. These Horses are old, parts are hard to find and most techs don't know how to work on them past the carburetor. -

Big Show 2026 Ready to Roll Pics!

Got everything loaded ... I am sure @Pullstart could have figured out how to load the 875 roller project. I am finding as I get older hydro units, 3 spd trannies and decks are getting too heavy.... -

Learned this last year - If you start to see dark clouds over the mountain, you have about 20min to find a dry place to hang out. -
Some sources. https://a-ztractor.com/ Best to call to see what he has. https://www.zoro.com/zoro-select-1-18-in-fixed-bore-1-groove-v-belt-pulley-495-in-od-bk52118/i/G1708402/ https://www.grainger.com/product/813HD8 Or if you are so inclined, a 4.5hr trip to the Wheel Horse Collectors Club show in Bigglerville PA might find you with the correct part & then some. https://wheelhorseclub.com/ A friend & I are making a 14hr pilgrimage to the show.

My neighbor Peter had purchased the Gardner, as we were dropping it off at his son's place told him the old man would wake up in the morning with buyers remorse Back story this floor jack was offered Ftee as just that a jack with no further information on market place. I had a hire a local to help lift it onto my truck. Anyhow I just traded the jack for the compressor. I'm the new owner. Still trying to load my trailer for a landfill tun for Saturday.

The weather forecast will change 20 times before Thurs. Not really any point of even checking. The only thing I'm watching is where are the remnants of that tropical storm headed. -

My WeatherBug forecast says 30% chance. That means 70% chance of no rain. -

Update.. after flushing and refilling that hydro it worked fine. My neighbor gave me $400 for it. Now I gotta go buy another one... for some odd reason, that seems the logical thing to do. -
Seeing rain in the forecast for Thursday/Friday/Saturday but right now it appears it’s at night or evening. That’s all good for me as I’ll be sleeping in my hotel room. I’m sure there are better weather apps than the cheesy one that came installed on my phone. What are you all seeing?

,I did an engine swap from a 414 8 to my 417 A. because the engine lost compression. I broke the larger pulley on the Kohler 17hp. trying to get it off. I had to use the smaller pulley on the Kohler 14 hp. I had to get a 2" smaller belt because of the smaller pully. It still works fine for mowing, just a little slower. I would like to find the larger 5" pulley for a little more speed. Does anyone know where I can get one?
