Another way to gain Plow ground clearance - flip the 'Sector and Channel'!

Wheel Horse made some steel block spacers to lower the rear tact-a-matic. Some one poster a set back some years ago. Go and buty some 1/2" treaded rod with nuts and washers. I've always used treaded rod to mount my wheel weights. -
3 late bloomers voted on option C and they do look good; well they all look pretty awesome. When ahead and pulled the trigger on option E, that red horse head emblem just kept calling my name . That Wheel Horse emblem adds just enough bling bling without being too overbearing.

Yup, I agree, thanks again

Got the spare tire holders painted. I left them a little rough because I'll be adding a "mud" colored layer. This model will be slightly weathered. ************************************************ Also did some wet sanding on the tank surface. Gotta say... very impressive! In this pic you can see the gray areas where the uneven surfaces were/are. While I don't need this to be glass smooth - I'm having fun experimenting with the primer and its capabilities. It'll get another several thin coats when the wind calms. Then in a day or three another sanding.

If you can feel radial movement, the bearings probably are going to fail. Best to replace before a ball ends up in the tranny.

Axle move in and out about 1/8" OK Axle move up down back forward at all bad news...

@EB-80/8inPA thanks for the hit ! just about anything I do is based on REPEITIVE FAILURE , do you repair / fix , exactly as was there , or think of a change ? this could apply to ,chafed wiring , linkage issue , bearing noise , belt wear , whatever . that fuel issue used to my problem too , that was years ago , there was a regular trail of rubber break down , STABIL STOPS THAT , then what i did was replace all related hose , dropped carb bowl , clean out added a filter just before carb , and just after leaving tank , which also has to be cleaned out , drop fuel valve , like synthetic grease on the related O rings , makes installation much easier . I only use regular gas , STA BIL corrects rubber break down , my stand by gen , also uses STA BIL , no fuel hose break down at all , filter / bowl always clean clear , instant sarts , 5/16 steel brake line , makes a very good long fuel run inside frame ,upper angle corner , tie wrap it off in place , no fuel hose break down , there ! just talkin , pete

Well, the hub slid right off thanks to the leak. It does have some radial play but how much is normal? Seems a bit much to me. The oil seems clean and I don't hear any noise when I rotate the wheel, its smooth. Going to put a seal in and see what happens. If it still leaks, I know I can get the bearings. Thank you pfrederi for those numbers, I'm going to order two of each as I have a bad feeling. T

Happy Happy Chris

Getting the hub off first may be easier having the gear oil migrate along under the hub over time... or, it may be a showstopper....
-
Ive got a complete seal kit somewhere for one, I'll try to find them if you're interested
-
Gonna make it happen at Pullstart's. Yes the way Dan buys prolly already have a full load on the way back. He likes them hunerd dolla rollers.

Outer needle bearings are B-1816 Inner is a 40x68x15mm SKF 6008-C3
-
I was hoping you'd say that. I'll be removing the balance gears from every engine I can here.
-
Let me ask, if I have a axle bearing problem, are parts available for these things? I have been building transmissions for over 40 years so I'm sure I can do this if I can get parts. Thanks,T

I will not be reinstalling them. Just noticed that they were loose so it was a ticking time bomb

What? Only one layer? -
Happy Birthday Chris! Hope you have a great day!

I've never tried it, but I read somewhere transmission fluid and talcum powder could work. Penetrating oil might work, too. The process would be to apply tranny fluid, let it soak, clean the surface (solvent dampened rag?), then dust on some talcum powder to draw the oil out of any cracks. I think it would be runnable, but the thermal cycling the block sees might cause the crack to continue to grow.

Awesome! It looks great! Good job! -
@ebinmaine totally agree on that phase ! often refer to do that since changing over to adding STA BIL to my fuel , from that point on there is NO DEBRIS , OR FULE HOSE BREAK DOWN , IN ANY RELATED FILTERS , only use regular leaded fuel , ounce or two to any tank top off , also my fuel hose check valve just before carb , clear vinyl fuel rated hose , so I am consistently looking at what's in the carb , my generator has the same set up , no fuel hose breakdown , doing this for years , as you know repetitive issues , show you the way , that frame length 5/16 steel brake line, also ELIMINATES a long fuel holding , area , always trying something , pete

On this trailer model there was a bent/broken spare tire holder. I separated the pieces, made a "shop repair" and glued them together. After gray paint I think it'll look good.

Magnums had a bolt on plastic set of fins

A flywheel with no fins for cooling?
