You ever think those long summer evenings would be twice as sweet with a buddy along for the ride—someone who actually appreciates a freshly mowed lawn and the smell of a running engine? Or maybe just someone to split a cold drink with after a day of wrenching? MeetPrettyGirls.com

Have new gaskets for the breather and look carefully in the manual for the correct orientation of all the parts! You don’t want to have to revisit this! -
Do it hard enough and wreck a tire or even bend/break something!

Extra appreciation!

I just noticed the rubber bands holding the wings. My first training plane had them and I learned the hard way that they must be the length and strength specified to perform properly.

Wheelhorse 857 | RM-367 Deck attachment
Handy Don replied to Syrmore's topic in Implements and Attachments
I concur with @ri702bill on all points and once dialed in, these decks do cut nicely. They are not “silent” like a perfectly tuned belt-driven deck but they are not loud either. I’ve not encountered anyone who welded the bearing holder (aka, the backbone) and got it perfectly aligned and dimensioned. At least two guys I’ve spoken with eventually got parts decks with unbroken ones to swap in. They can be had. With the right tool, the spindle bearings press in easily (as do the grease seals) but they will distort with even minor misalignment. That spindle looks good (it is hardened where it forms the inner race of the roller bearing). I ended up using shims on the cross-shaft (behind one face gear) to reduce gear lash while leaving about .02” of play for thermal expansion (yes, those gears and the cross shaft do get warm in operation). It took three assemble/disassemble/reassemble tries. Lavishly grease the gears (I now use 3x what I initially thought they should need)--yes, some will seep out around the gear covers--normal (didn't @squonk mention rags ) You are well ahead of the game in that you don’t have rust-through at the top front center of the shell. Typically, users: a) don’t clean the wet grass that accumulates underneath at that point, and b) adjust the lift too high so that the deck frame bangs against that part of the shell, denting it. You’ve been warned. From my notes: 1508 spindle bearing (4) ==> Koyo B-1212 needle bearings 1303 oil seal (2) ==> Timken 312518 seals Staked cross shaft 1515 bearing changes to the 101480 bearing which is a 1630 2RS Glad you are looking to put this back in action. -

Help! I need Photos & Dimensions from a Raider 8 or 10 Brake Part
ebinmaine replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Brad are you adding a second pedal? The 3 speed tractors all had a single pedal. I believe all the 8 speed tractors had two pedals. That'll cause an issue with linkage.- 1 reply

Let me start by saying that I don’t have a horse in this race, I have nothing to do with the listing! But @Dan 312-8 alerted me to an RJ for sale on Fleabay. Wow I can’t believe what the price jumped up to and the amount of bids. I’m curious to see what you guys think? And I’ll definitely be following it to see what it sells for. I’m not bidding. Maybe some of the guys here are? Again I have nothing to do with the listing.

I saw that, wayyyyy too rich for my blood!

Thanks for that. I haven't checked the oil level yet, it was at the full mark when I started. I guess I should check to see just how much in 30 minutes of driving the level dropped. -

New-to-me Horse (and other stuff) Hauler!!
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
This morning I spent a couple hours removing the entire computer wiring harness along with the vacuum lines. There were two wires in the whole kit n caboodle that need to stay. Both for sensors/ sending units. One is the oil pressure. The other.... I don't know. It's screwed in to the back of the cylinder head on the passenger side. I also separated the wires coming from the fuse box, ignition switch and dashboard areas. They're marked (what I know) below. Fuse box pic for my own reference. Here's the new and improved cleaner look. -
Keep em coming! I love this kind of stuff!

With a fairly tall 16" tire and the plow angled full it's reeeaaally close on one side. Don't recall which. Bump an obstacle and it makes contact, tire to plow.
