is scotch brite ok on the mating surface? i wanted to get the little bit of graphite off -
Not exactly a Wheel Horse attachment, but the MF GC1720 I just bought came with a chain harrow. I've never used one, but I think it will be a useful for maintenance on a gravel driveway. Anybody out there used one of these?

Swap a six speed into a 953 possibly with limited slip

I closed the deal on this today. Only had time to work the paperwork and write the check. Supposed to be raining here for a few days. Won't be able to try it out for a few days.

Aww I'm just picking with @ebinmaine. ...But have been looking for the right shade of orange for a tractor for years. One of these days. -

how much should i tune down the torque wrench when i use the anti seize? the side cover goes to 180 inch pounds i think. maybe 150 inch pounds? also the coil is like 30 to 40 inch, so maybe 25 inch? -

I've been struggling with this myself... But we already use IH red. ...If I find the right orange. -
Perhaps the Forum Administrators or other members can help clarify this issue? the B100 Tractor is listed as manufactured in 74,75,76,77............there were 36 inch mower decks listed for those respective years as models 5-0721; 5-0621; 5-0722; 5-0622; 65-36ms01; 65-36xr01; 75-36ms01; and 75-36xr01. Also perhaps, 76-36xr01 ???? there were "next generation" or "successor" 36" rear discharge model decks including later in the 80's --- eg: 36 inch r.d. models 05-36mr01,and 02,03,04 etc Can the 36 inch decks from the 80's be used on the B100 of the 1970s? Are they compatible? Thanks, Bill

Her name is Christine, she bucket me off put me in the hospital for a week. Then the misses did a wheelie though the garden, mowed two rows of green beans down. But she deserves a little TLC, Christine was RED. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
cleat replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I was getting a bit of clearance when lifting but not as much as I would like before the blade frame would contact the front axle. It was fine for plowing snow but when moving around the yard in warm weather it would tear up some little buts of sod on uneven ground. I wonder if it is because of the forward swept axle ? Oh well, it is OK now (I think, tractor will be getting moved out back for the summer soon so we will see if it contacts the ground). -

See if you can find an electrical conduit lock nut to add to the fitting before you install it into the block. Install the fitting as far as it will go into the block and then back it out at least 1/2 a turn so the fitting is loose. Using a hammer and punch now tighten the lock nut against the block. Fitting is now tight. If you remove using the reverse sequence once a year it will likely never be seized again. I always apply graphite to the threads as it seems to help. What the lock nuts look like available from Home Depot or the like. They are available for all common pipe sizes. This is a procedure I learned from a small engine repair shop that serviced thousands of small engines a year. It was part of their regular service.

I may have what you want. If you think this is it I can get it down and get better pictures. I had it on an 854. It has a cover on it. Let me know

This is a good one. Feb 30 I got several of the seniors on the robotics team with the old as dirt "your shoelace is untied" this afternoon. They'd look down reflexively, then immediately get that 'I've been had' look on their face.

thanks for the tip, I will do that, I planned on doing some pulley swaps anyways for a bit more speed. Might end up with a custom pulley size anyways but at least I know now to try and get the pulley from him with the axle!

I should have added mine is also a 76.

Best one I’ve seen in a long time!

We visited Salzburg, Austria seven or eight years ago. I was amazed at how much of the Sound of Music is still part of it's tourist venue. Salzburg is the location where the movie was made. Very interesting part of the world.

c-series don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
@cleat I don’t have any spacers on the rear axle bracket. In fact I’ve never used spacers on any of my tractors. Usually I just use the factory solid lift link in the furthest out hole in the rockshaft.
