    Why don't you guys meet halfway?
  4. I assume you use some sort of protective gloves - which do you use? They all seem to start dissolving prematurely for me.
  5. There was a guy doing some blasting when I picked up my finished wheels. Between the fans and the blasting was that operation ever loud! I think it was $40 well spent.

    C161 twin fender search

    Being a hydro makes a world of difference, especially if your mowing, pushing or blowing snow. Not having to shift every time you change directions makes the experience so much sweeter.

    How do you carry stuff on your Wheel Horse?

    @cjb398 use something like this https://www.google.com/search?q=bucket+elevator+buckets&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS866US866&oq=bucket+elevator+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgDEAAYgAQyBggA you can easily attatch a holed / angle bracket to seat basing , that lets you frame up a shelf for basics , drink , snack , etc , always looking for a gain area , pete
  9. @Sparky I just assumed those used the heavier tie rods also but have never payed any attention to the 88, 89 years.
  10. Today
  11. Good Morning, I have a 1990 310-8. I normally keep the tractor in my garage, but to give me some space, I temporarily put it in my shed. This past week it was brutally hot, +100. Who knows how hot that shed was. I pulled the tractor out, and there was a puddle of fluid under the transmission. I put in some fluid in yesterday and this morning nothing on some cardboard. But, it looks like to the rear of the brake band is wet, but not dripping and could be something I hadn't noticed before. I read that the transaxle holds two quarts of 80W 140?? Thoughts? The equipment that is out there is not anywhere the quality of this tractor. My 37" deck is welded together, some rust; but I would like to keep it running. Looking for some experienced help. Fred

    Betcha y’all didn’t know 190

    What, no Kippers or Bangers??!!
  13. If I was there when the smoke was let out, I would have been on the ground laughing so hard they would have had to call an ambulance to take me to a hospital!
  14. Nothing beats sand/bead blasting providing you're not the guy doin it!
  15. Currently fabbing up an adapter to use this Zero Turn cargo carrier I got at the show in a slot hitch so it will fit multiple tractors.

    K series Kohler rotary? riding mower

    Over the years TORO made some odd looking reel riding mowers for golf courses, that would be my guess.
  18. Wasn't too big of a deal to fix and get practice on I just figured I'd tease you about it
  19. A good coat of self etching primer followed by a couple of coats of the color of your choice with ample dry time should be applied prior to mounting the tire, then all is needed will be a touch up.
  20. It’s looking great! Sorry about the frame, I never even inspected it when I got it, I just reached under and zipped the bolts in and out Good welding practice like you mentioned. The heat settings on the thick plate look potentially a little low. Dig that gun into the thick piece, and dip into the thinner material in your circles. Practice makes perfect, and you’re doing great!

    Not running smoth

    Ignition timing is accomplished by properly gapping the points. Static timing is the best method of timing an engine. This Service Manual has instructions that will be helpful.

    520H complete Tie Rod Assembly

    Good point! I think the 88 and 89 520’s just had a regular front end, not swept or heavy duty. 1990 and up had the HD and swept front end.
  23. That would be the placement but we were thinking about raising them up by like an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch, not too much that it looks stupid, just enough to have a little more tire clearance
  24. That sucker has a very cool look to it with those rear fenders right on the tires! Is that the placement or are they just mocked up and sitting on the rear tires?

    845, my 1045 look a like project

    The good thing is to have it wired into your breaker box. So you can have the in important things likeTV refrigerator things like that can still be functional. I remember we had an October storm here knocked the power out for over a week that was not fun. Went through a lot of gas that time.
