Understood completely. All my tractors work to earn thier keep. There are a handful of NC members in your vicinity. Happy to see another entry to the sickness!

Okay, got it off. Thank y'all for the help! Putty knife wasn't enough and had to use wood chisels per @953 nut. I've got some small mars that will have to be stoned off but no biggie. That gasket was really on there, I had to smack the snot out of it to get it to pop. So the weird spot I've been looking at is a spot face, there's nothing on the other side of the casting. Pictures attached. Looking inside the transaxle, I can see a little light wear on the gears but nothing I'm worried about. When I spin the axle by hand, I can feel an expected amount of cogging. I've got the transaxle opening covered with a rag and am going to leave it alone other than cleaning the magnet filter basket. Next up, I'll start opening ports, replacing orings, dissect the pump, get my surface plate out and emery paper. I'll take pics of surface plate and emery paper and how I figure eight resurface the pistons. Used to run and maintain a waterjet with a servopump that did 66,000 psi (fluids actually do compress if you get pressure high enough). Magnet basket has filings but I don't see any chunks. It's about what I expect for gears this old. Have a closeup of it, please let me know if y'all don't like the filings.

Thanks lee Funny enough I was just looking at that I think I will order a small one for a boat from Amazon .It looks like the previous owner had the same issue and put in line fuses and only left 1 fuse in it -
Paint strippers. What's your current favorite?
Blue Chips replied to ebinmaine's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
CitriStrip can be quite slow, but works well for a lot of paints if you're not in a hurry. I usually cover the object being stripped and let it work overnight (or longer). In most cases the paint literally falls off. I've used a LOT of different paint strippers over the last 50 years or so...some of them VERY nasty to use. Different stripping chemicals work better with some paints than others. - Today

I’m currently working on refinishing a few parts on my ‘89 520H. This is what I’m using, it works pretty good. I tried using the CitriStrip and found it not working as well and taking longer. -
Keep in mind that Wheel Horse made two different types of handles, the miserable ones shown on https://www.redoyourhorse.com/motion-control-knob-decals-for-all-300-400-and-500-series-hydros-1991-or-newer/ and the smooth ones like this:

Those open fuse holder can be the problem. Had a good battery and fuse and and nothing coming out the other side of the holder.

I’d just do a Comet/Ajax wash or use 0000 SOS pads then just whatever shine juice you want to protect the that beautiful patina . There’s also satin protectants offered by different companies that are made if you don’t want the shiny look . Here’s a good video of such company and he explains how everything works together .

What did you do today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Mickwhitt's topic in non tractor related discussion
My grandfather before he passed at 93 said something similar. Adding to that that he had grown up in the area. He lived in the same spot since the end of WWII so he was also losing people he’d known his entire life and he knew everybody. -
I have wanted one of these tractors for a long time after I used my wife's grandfathers in KY after he passed away. When I fired my lawn guy this past September the Wheel Horse was the only brand I went looking for!

No no. What I'm saying is that plow IS on a hydro lift.

Looking for a 5.5 dump cart. Does not have to be in perfect condition. Doesn’t even have to dump just for a show cart and I have had a bunch of them. But sold them all? If you are in Connecticut Mass Vermont -southern Vermont southern New Hampshire I would be interested.

Must be nice to be young. I guess in my day I could. At least you are covered with that huge drive way you have. -

I’d honestly just keep it EXACTLY how it is I think it looks cool -

Maybe "Trio Thursday"? Got the Vanguard boys out today for some air during lunch. Had to bring out my son's Ranger too. Bonus pic...

I always assumed the allure of that show was generational as I don't find it the least bit funny or even remotely entertaining, but I think your daughters might be proving me wrong. Steve

If the Jeep has idle-stop I wouldn't be surprised if you're required to use that AGM battery you're considering. They better handle the more frequent shallow discharge/recharge cycles. (I realize this loosens the lid on the idle-stop can of worms, but there's no need to remove it completely) I don't have any specific recommendations, although the Odyssey AGM battery in my boat is showing no signs of slowing down and it's 9 years old. It was quite expensive when I bought it. Steve
