A twist in the mounting kinda makes sense. The blower has been on two different tractors with the same issue.

"Left and right is always from the operator's position in the seat so this is the right side" Thanks for that gwest So I undid the drive belt. No change. Raised the blower and it still wasn't "level". Some pics

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ebinmaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
IMHO you're better off being there than 1/32 too close. I remember blabbing with a people or two and deciding that the "safe" distance to a muffler from a properly running Kohler single cylinder was about an inch. -

You made me go look... and you are correct. I do not have to original adapter but rather a short nipple then 45 degree NPT elbow and a short pipe to clamp the muffler to. Also made an adapter to bolt the brace to. It's probably an inch or two too far out, but I wanted to make sure I didn't cook the decals. -
Check the tire pressure in all 4 tires. Check for a twist in the mounting by removing the blower and checking the height of the mounting bar on both sides with the blower sitting in operating position.

Left and right is always from the operator's position in the seat so this is the right side. Assuming this is a single stage blower it may be the drive belt tension that is holding it up. Try removing the belt from the idlers and see what happens. Uses a 5/8" x 69" belt.

For the past 5 years or so my blower does not sit flush to the ground. I thought this is the year I'm going to ask for help. • the skids are both fully retracted. • the blower mounts as it should to the front mount (attach-a-matic) • the blower is on level ground • the left side is a good 1" to 1.5" off the ground (as I'm standing in front looking at the blower). Short of the frame being twisted I got nothing else. What Have I missed? It was fine the first couple of years I owned it.

REALLY COOL Mt Washington cloud formation

Hiked up the icy Lion’s Head through sleet and freezing fog cautiously going from cairn to cairn. Icicles in my beard. 25 degrees and 30mph gusts at the top and tourists who drove up were shivering in shorts, tees, and flip flops! What an experience! -
Some times they don't come off in one piece. This one wasn't broken but I broke two pullers and it never moved. Used a sawall on both sides and a chisel to finish braking it off.

Yes. Was. Currently newer 454 , .030 over and a truck cam. I am in the middle of going back to a well built 396@.030 over, 38cc pop-up pistons .545lift x 285 duration cam. Paid $25 for that car complete, not running, 35 years ago. 😁😁 Traded the original TH400 for TKO-600 5-speed and 3.73 gears. Way more fun to drive.

The last part - as long as there is not a whole one in the Parlor or a Unidrive in the tub, you're good....

Happy Borned on Day @DET

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Enjoy your family's while you can. Unfortunately we are alone on this holiday due to kids being too far away. We did see one set last weekend. We'll make the best of it.

Great score!!

Could be anywhere in the starting circuit wiring. Ignition switch to PTO safety switch to pedal switch to solenoid. The wire between the PTO and pedal switches would be my guess. May be rubbing on the steering gear. Unplug each of these three wires and use your ohm meter to find the short to ground.
-
I would suspect a short in the pto switch or pedal switch if the wiring in between is OK. Is this the switch you have?

Another 4x4 - I’ll just leave this here….

That is some MAD skills!! -
In a sense, yes, but not genetically. think of it like.. when crude oil is refined, a byproduct is mineral oil, mineral oil can have things added to it to give it different qualities, viscosities, detergents, anti-foaming agents...etc, but its still just a mineral oil. Synthetic oil takes that base and changes it at a molecular level, breaking it down into individual components, removing unnecessary or unwanted components then reassembled leaving only the parts that aid in lubrication. It has a lower freezing point, flows long after conventional has turned solid, has a higher breakdown point, when conventional oil has broken down..synthetic oil is still protecting. It maintains its viscosity over a much broader breadth of temperatures. Synthetic oil is still oil, its just oil in its most pure, most affective form.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! -
60's -70's was the common period for this color scheme, particularly for smaller, older boxes. It did continue into the 80's - 90's, some of these would have the "quiet glide" drawers.
-
Ahhh. That gray I've seen. Any idea what year range??
-
I have seen some early Craftsman tool boxes that were a gray/brown cabinet with red drawers.
-
Awesome tool DR is owned by the company I work for. Generac bought DR in 2015. I believe that they moved manufacturing from Vermont to Wisconsin now. Not sure if they are made in Jefferson or Whitewater.

I'll stick with Rotella 30W year round until I can't find it anymore. Walmart and TSC still carry it for around $17 a gal.
