Yeah, I see at least two cast iron flywheels. If he has to take everything, his cost to ship is going to be pretty high.

520-HC Vanguard swap
ri702bill replied to cafoose's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Nice! Do consider adding a lower support from the engine to the underside of the elbow area of the exhaust going to that Jeep muffler. One reason is the vibrating weight, the other is snagging any overhead obstructions.... Here is what I did on my 854 when I went to a stack glasspack exhaust. -
I didn't think about that but it's not a concern on this one. It did have the 10" rears when I got it in the early 80's but since then it's been messing around in the barn with a B-80 and came out with 22x7.50-12's. I'm definitely leaning that way Mike. I have extra solid links made up already. I guess I'll just have to see if the link drops down OK with an in-between tractor. I wanted to hear the comments here before I bought something. @davem1111 I saw your posting. Anything?

Gatorade is for those hot summer tractor shows. Need to rehydrate after a few 175 of captains.

Sounds familiar....

I would not bet the farm on that! Roll'm if you got'm! I did work one summer in Connecticut picking leaves for cigars. Made enough money to buy a good used car. (and school cloths)

Got the 520-HC vanguard swap just about completed. Still not charging. I have a new stator coming today. Old one was only putting out 4.5 VAC. Here's the build thread: I used a Jeep muffler from amazon for the stack.

Get a long frame plow with both mounting holes for the rod. I know I used that style frame on my short frame 857 with no issues. One of the attachment points should work. As far as the lift, use a chain or custom make a solid link

I’ve been educated on here that they are a pack animal😁 -

I wouldn't know, we have 8 runners and one 854 that is stripped because the tranny blew up and it is waiting for room to be stored as a whole tractor -

You may be a singular person but you have multiple chores to accomplish each one deserves a dedicated WH -
Not sure on either - but you need the angled blade to clear the front tire... then there is the lift hookup piont & the angling lever placement. My Commando 800 parts tractor has 10" rear tires & rims.. it sits close to the ground. Will you be able to get enough lift on the blade? It did come with an adapted Craftsman blade that mounted to the front of the frame - sold that over 10 years ago.

Only the clear.... go with a fruit one!

I’ll do my best…the clowns I hang with all have camera phones and they take ZERO pictures .

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Pullstart replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I had some dirt to dump out back. It’s been too long since I’ve Horsed around, so I took the long way home on Steve Oh Two. -

Definitely my hoarding tendenc….I mean collection of Wheelhorse stuff came in handy. Yeah, especially with how much time we put in fixing, adding to, and maintaining them that makes it worth it. Thanks! -

This is my excu.... uuhhh... I mean reason... for having too many tractors. -
As I work on my 1986 ford, I've been trying to use good quality components as often as possible. I'm going to be replacing all of the wiring that goes to the back, right from the cab all the way out. As you are finding, it's not easy to get a hold of wiring that isn't CCA. I was able to find some, USA made. It wasn't cheap... but to me, worth the difference. I really like the idea quite a lot of @953 nut above, getting old used wire. I wish I had that capability here.
-
I looked at trailer wire and all I am finding is the CCA stuff. Nothing close here for picking up used wiring and such, I figure they are like me saving it up and scraping, price is up. I found some pure copper through napa, .checked with amazon and you have to watch because their spool size is / can be deceiving. napa
