What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Ed Kennell replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Dragged in another one that blew down in the field. This 312H with turfs can sure pull its weight. -

Aumann Auctions, Garden Tractors

Wasn’t me. By the time I’d decided I would place a bid everything I was interested in had blown by my threshold. i have mixed feelings about auctions being all online now. While it opens up opportunities for both buyers and sellers, it completely removes the fun and social opportunities that come from a live event. Might as well buy a new one from Amazon. steve -

Hooked yard cart up to the 12hp no name and gathered a little fuel for stove (wood). Thats a Simplicity cart so don't hold it against me. Bought at yard sale and was going to paint it Wheel Horse color but its such good shape hate to fool with it. Maybe some Simplicity fan will trade me a Wheel Horse cart/equipment for it . Wishful thinking I know…. - Today

Good to know. . I was bidding on a couple of those items and was wondering if anyone local was bidding against me. -

It’s not just into wood I drill holes.

I need it for shady areas where grass will not grow and erosion occurs. It is native and prominent in my area. They are the ONLY thing that deer will not touch. 90% of wooded areas here are decimated by erosion because deer have eaten all the undergrowth and any new saplings that manage to come up. It can be contained to wanted areas by regular maintenance. Can also be mowed high if overgrown . It will come back. It requires disciplined maintenance to keep them tidy. Landscapers want to go in and out quickly , they need volume to be profitable. Blowing leaves off of them is hard and time consuming . Leaves are however beneficial to them because they acidify the soil. I actually use finely shredded leaves to mulch them until they take. I plant them close so they fill fast and eliminates weeding in between until that happens. I also don’t want to wait long to see it full. I may not have that long to wait 😀. As for planting them I drill all the holes first in large areas . I then place the all the necessary trays within reach and plant the whole area without getting up constantly. It is a little hard on the knees, but it’s not something done all the time. My knees seem to recover fast , my back however does not so I pamper it all the time. -

This may not look like much, but getting the rusty CA under the rack is a huge accomplishment today! I just gained access to 14’ of racking that was blocked from fork truck access. -
Current plan for snow (now that the 854 and blade are ready) is to keep the wood box stocked.

As you can see by the map I don't exactly have a great Viewpoint up here in the far Northeast. Last night was the same. My sister down in Kansas was able to get a fantastic shot.

This auction house is pretty local to me. I’ve been there countless times to in-person sales and drive past somewhat frequently as they are on the path I take to get to one of my favorite fishing lakes. In general, Wheel Horse stuff has usually sold way below value (in my opinion) at their sales. I think their typical crowd is just not in the WH orbit and hardly any of their prior sales got mentioned on this site. I suspect the exposure here (and perhaps elsewhere) might have helped this one along. I was watching this one for bargains and had a real interest in the diesel Deere, but it didn’t work out this time. They do look like nice pieces so whoever the winners were did well. FYI, they have at least one annual Lawn and Garden auction that’s usually worth watching. I’ve not seen anything especially rare in the WH offerings, but there are usually some really special things from the other brands that bring impressive results. As a potential seller, I have typically been disappointed in prices I’ve seen on WH stuff. As a potential buyer, I’ve been excited. The Aumann family is a class act. Really nice people and they run a nice operation. All that said, as a local watcher of what they do it wouldn’t break my heart to see the rest of you forget about their sales when they have stuff I might be interested in 😇 Steve -

Consider replacing the lower 90 degree elbow with a reducing run tee. I tapped a pipe plug 3/8-16 for the strap bolt... supports it right under the area of most weight. I also tack welded all the pipe joints to keep them aligned... -

Ed Kennell replied to AHS's topic in Implements and Attachments
The loose parts that may not be attached to the blower are the chute rotator crank and its support bar and the lift assist springs and the push rod that attaches to the rock shaft. Yep, I had it for 5 years and used it for an hour. -

@Ed Kennell got it from me at the Big Show right before I moved to Tennessee. Here are some helpful threads from when I had it: -

Around here pachysandra is considered invasive (it isn’t native either) and most landscapers will discourage planting it. -
That is what you will find in nearly every internal combustion manual ever written. Overfilling can lead to oil foaming that will reduce lubrication.

That is .009" over the limit and .012" over nominal. You will be lucky to cleanup at .020" over size. Since your measurements sound wrong to me, take it to the guy that will bore it and get his opinion and then get the piston he recommends so he can fit it.

Depending on how your town’s engineering department operated, and keeps records, they may well have a site plan on file from the original construction that shows the locations. In our village, anything built from the late 40’s onwards is on file.
