The Things People Toss…

Sadly, I'm not aware of anything like that around here... -
I do see that the part number is #3 and there are 4 of them. I suppose I could look at the rear ones and see what size they are. I would think all #3 parts would be the same detentions.

Catching stray kittens in the yard/forest

Since we are on the topic, and I now have one to contribute.. This is Sondra: Vet says she is pretty healthy, and about 7 weeks old. She seems to be adjusting well to indoor life. She likes it better than the wood pile, because in the wood pile she was cornered. In the house she can fit through the gates we use to control the dogs' movements and just go to her room where her food and toys are, without the dogs. - Yesterday

widen rear wheels
sqrlgtr replied to sqrlgtr's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I didn't even think about using a strip of metal at the joint. I was just thinking I could cut them off good and square and weld them back together. I do have enough wheels, 2 sets, to make them with but may have to rethink this projecto. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Replaced front axle pivot pin/bolt, drilled drag link out and made a couple bushings on lathe for drag link on 701. I didnt relize how wore everything was until I really got to looking closer at front end. My niece was driving it around the other day and I could see it better watching it go by I guess . -
Could be but first I would take a loo\k at the blades to be sure they are not upside down which would mean the dull edge would be attempting to cut the grass.

I have a 314-8 and 520H. Both are well taken care of, always maintained and have about 700hrs each. They both have 48in sd decks that are solid with no holes. Both have steel/cast wheel weights. All tires hold air and start right up. Neither have any issues at all. The 520 currently has a newer single stage blower attached. There is also a “used once” plow for the 314-8 and has axle bracket attached. Have some odds and ends also. They will be for sale next week if a zero turn deal does not fall through for me. Both work 100%…look pretty damn good and are ready for decades more work. Also have chains for both. Pic in ad is old but same tractors. I used them for 1/4 acre lot and a small driveway.

That sounds like a strong possibility Steve. Or the 3/2 gear isn't hooked to the fork or the fork is broken. Gotta wonder how that could happen though. 🤔

Sounds fantastic. So glad to see it running again.

Catching stray kittens in the yard/forest
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
This evening we released the kittens into the shed. Trina removed the lower hinged door from the cat's screen house. We then started messing around with the laser pointer. The female calico "Soup" was out exploring within minutes. After a bit she went across the room and under some equipment and found their momma. Then she kept right on pokin' about. The two boys..... nope. Toothless came to the edge of the doorway.. and layed down. Not particularly interested in being out of his home space. Sheamus stayed right in the carrier that's on the shelf inside the enclosure. Both of them will be out exploring in no time. -
Yes I have gone back and forth with both of those. Is it possible for it to be the belt? It’s probably original.

Do you use dirt to protect a tractor hood from 2 hammers and a utility knife? 😧

2027 Calendar Pictures needed!!

418-8 and 520-8 both owned by me. -
From my measurements it should be 5/8” diameter with a 3/8” hole. The length according to what I am measuring needs to be 3/4” long. It goes in the one arm that is 1/4” thick and protrudes out 1/2” so those two together makes it 3/4” long total. I do not see any of the arms that are bent so that is how I came up with those detentions unless someone has one they have taken out and measured. I am not saying I am right at all but from what I am measuring that Is what I see.

It's missing a 5/8" steel bushing with a 3/8" hole that is approximal 5/16" thick

There always seems to be wide wheels at the big show. I know Miller Tire sells them on line. I'm with KPinNC, lots of time involved not to mention you need two sets of wheels.

See...size does matter!!

And so do all of us

Another "Had to" Drag it Home, C101
stevasaurus replied to oliver2-44's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Just thinking how this could happen with out knowing a whole lot about this trans. If you pull the shifter, check out the part of the shift forks that would hold the shifter. One thing it could be...roll pin is gone from the shift rail and the part is just sliding on the shaft. Waiting to see what you find. -
widen rear wheels

You may very well be money and time ahead of yourself to find a pair of wheel blanks like pullers use and weld in the centers to the correct backspacing. ....? -

I think most of the throw aways in my hood end up at the Wednesday auction. -
Pleasant surprise. Initially I shoved this plow inside and to the side. Today I moved a couple garden tractors out of the way, and put the snow blade next to the other to blades. It was then I realized that this is a 48” blade instead of 42” like the other two.👍😃😍

I appreciate the feedback fellas. I may go ahead and get it. I was concerned about the oil under the engine probably needs new oil seals on crank case not sure.
