The fuel line and tank valve/fuel bowl/filter was new last fall, as was the elbow/screen assembly at the carb. The insides of the tank appear fairly clean. Since the problem went away with more fuel in the tank, it makes me think the reserve ports on the valve are not right, or there might be something blocking the bottom of the screen on the tank valve. The fuel issue has a work around. The probable damage to the hub threads on the back axle need to be corrected before EJ can get back into ground engaging box and grader blade work - which is what I need to get done. A new hub and axle will fix the issue. But, I'm not set up to do that repair in my HF temporary garage in the middle of the woods to do this type of work. On the next trip to Ky. I'll have the proper trailer to get EJ into a shop for the work.

Battery chargers

I recommend getting one that has rejuvination capability. I bought an el cheapo Stanley at Walmart probably 8 years ago. Works great for me. -

Hmmm, looks like I need to get down there and do some tire shopping for a great deal on some new skins -
Battery chargers
Bar Nuthin replied to Terry M-(Moderator)'s topic in non tractor related discussion
I have an ancient Shumacher 2/10 amp and ancient roll around NAPA 450 amp that just keep on going. I think the NAPA branded one may be made by Shumacher as well. The knobs are off of an old gas grill -

I think the set from you are on the bottom of that stack…but good eye! -
My last two battery chargers only lasted a few years…those just stopped working. so I’m back to using my 27 year old manual charger to charge my tractor batteries. does anybody make a decent charger for home use anymore??

Glad I decided to open it up and have a look. The needle bearing on the opposite side was fubar as well. Filter screen is still intact but had good bit of debris trapped, along with some shavings on the magnet. Paid $50 for it with the hydraulic lift parts still attached, plus a rockshaft. The cylinder was the serviceable type, and I rebuilt it for my C-160 and put the control valve on my C-120. Cataloged the spring, cone, and rockshaft. Up in the air on whether or not to put any money into saving the tranny. The axles look perfect and it has a good motion cam worth saving.

What did you do today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Mickwhitt's topic in non tractor related discussion
The day began with a trip to Home Depot and Sam’s club where I picked up some groceries, and two wide totes to put my clothes I couldn’t hang like pants, shorts etc… in. I helped my father load some furniture of which some I donated along with him and my mother to a local Fireman’s Auction. I then did some organizing and made a spot for my projects with some small parts. I then started to work on with a Kohler 23 hp Command engine I got from my brother that would run but lose power eventually stalling when hot. I’m going to look up how it comes apart as it’s a bit more intricate than our old Kohlers. Everything but the valves have been gone through and checked by my brother, who researches known issues/problems before he throws a parts cannon at something. so I thought I’d start with the valves as they haven’t been touched yet. The C-85 project may have a heart if I can figure out the issue. Now, I’m done for the night and I’m going to go relax. -

Trying to organize my spare tires/wheels, moved some into the new shed this evening. Left all my crummy tires and wheels in my old tarp shed. -

Yeah.... funny how that goes. I signed into his site to find that, now I have a 3x3 banner in my cart, a new set of the black patriotic decals for my GT-1848, and a few other misc. items. So much good stuff! (oh, and not the first time I've ordered from Terry...) -
Just pulled this one out of a C-81 with a blown engine. Has the 1-1/8” axles and as a bonus the hubs. I just drained the old fluid and put in new 80w-90 in preparation for storage to be a spare if I ever needed one. Pretty much just bolt it in and go! $140 for it as seen in the pictures. I’m in Andover Ct 06232 if you want to calculate the drive.

The center spindle on my 48"SD took a c#$p while mowing early this spring. I swapped it out with my spare 42SD and used it all summer. Yesterday I dumped my spindle bucket and found a good one. Cleaned , greased and back on the tractor. Picking up the tractor with the hoist really makes it easy to roll the decks under the tractor from the front. -

We have a 10 x 10 pop up that goes to shows. There's a banner around here somewhere for T & E Wheelhorse Stables. Now there'll be two more to accompany that one. -

Son Mark and I went crabbing to a new spot. Left at 5AM for Fort Smallwood State Park on the upper Chesapeake Bay. Beautiful park on the bay. Caught a half bushel and back home and in the steamer by noon.

I know I'm probably the only one that has done this, but could the fuel valve be shut off.

Put my newly rebuilt mule drive and new belt on the 312-8 today. This drive and belt was destined for the 520H but the 312’s belt was wore out so just swapped both out while I was at it. Notice I bent gaurd on mule drive the belt was rubbing bad for some reason but it ain’t rubbing now . Have no idea what this mule drive came off of but didnt think there was any difference in any of them besides the ones for the 60” 520 decks. -

Is it against the TOS to post this, when it's one of our approved vendors? If so, delete this post. https://www.redoyourhorse.com/wheel-horse-20th-anniversary-banner-3-x-3-ftoot/
