I have re-installed the starter to the engine and it has remained secured for about a month at this writing. I have mowed the lawns several times and started the engine many more times. When I posted the above request for ideas, neither of the two starter bolts would tighten to the engine beyond finger tight. As a result, the ground wire was often too loose, for a good, tight connection. I cleaned the fine threads on each bolts' threads with carburetor cleaner several times also trying to clean the threads in the block. Then I applied Loctite 243 to the threads and slowly reinstalled the bolts to the block. Initially only using my fingers until I got some resistance. Next I tightened the bolts snug, using a 1/4" drive ratchet and socket. The engine was not used for several days to allow the Loctite 243 to cure(?). Anyway, for now at least this has been successful. The stater remains tight to the engine with no side play and the starter engages each time I turn the switch. Thanks for the suggestions. John.l I

I see eagles every day running trains on the Hudson line. Over the winter I saw at least 15 sitting on the ice in a small cove. They were fighting over a fish. Mostly juveniles, but there were several adults as well. I wish I could have gotten a picture.

April 26, 1977, the legendary discoteque Studio 54 opens its doors for the very first time. It would soon become the global epicenter of the disco craze and the most famous nightclub in the world. The impresarios behind Studio 54 were Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, college roommates at Syracuse University who got into the nightclub business after their first venture, a chain of steak restaurants, failed to flourish. But before taking Manhattan by storm and becoming famous for openly and shamelessly excluding all but the most chic, famous or beautiful patrons from their establishment, Rubell and Schrager were running a far less pretentious operation called the Enchanted Garden in the far reaches of Queens.

You can smell him coming before you see him! That’s a good thing when we’re talking tractor exhaust, not @squonk exhaust… -

I contacted Pri-G and asked them about it's cleaning ability. They emailed me a full list of benefits, more than what is on their website. On the list it states "Cleans fuel systems and components."

856: ignition Dash Better fit recommendations
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Wonder if one of these would work. The sizes are national pipe sizes. A 3/4" knockout in an electrical panel can use a reducing washer to accept a 1/2" fitting. 1/2" pipe has a .840" OD (27/32") 3/4" pipe has a 1.050" OD (1-3/64") https://www.centralsupplycompany.com/buy/product/conduit-reducing-washer/414 What is the OD of the switch threads? What is the hole diameter? -
I grew up living close to that dealership. I now live bout 20min away from where it used to be. Remember driving by it often. They used to have an old tractor on top of their sign along the road but I cant remember what it was. Tegner passed away in 2022. Awesome find!!

ebinmaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I've used similar in the past. Tough to get here and VERY expensive in comparison to "Recreation fuel" 90+ octane non ethanol. -
Engine shaft is vertical, not horizontal...

Morning, Recently got 856 New Wheelhorse parts and more ignition wired up to realize the dash hole for old ignition allows too much of this ignition to slide through hole and isn’t straight into hole … looking for recommendations to secure it.. metal washer with neoprone washer again dash? (Can’t move to different dash hole due to having to buy all new wires and require it all which really don’t want to do)

Nice! Someone went thru a lot of effort to reroute the exhaust into the headlight opening. Or is that a WWI machine gun??? I'd name it "Winkie". -
Maybe the PO was attempting to mount a cup holder??? A rather nice use of assorted fiddely-bits.....

My 701 had the vacuum style pump on it and I got the kit to rebuild from Then and Now auto, I believe they will just sell the diaphragm on its own, but you may have to call them to get one.
