I thought that Raider 10s were Tecumseh motors? This one is a Raider 10, but has a Kohler and I think an 8 speed, but hard to see. What spec Kohler would this be? It's listed on marketplace as turning over but not starting for $225 and piqued my interest, but I think I have my heart set on a C-160 Hydro for my next tractor.

New Member, New to Wheel Horse & Now I Own a 656

Take pictures of how far the bearings are pressed in before removing them. There is a whole thread dedicated to this. At least you won't have any questions during assembly. -
I'd check the plastic filler neck for a crack. And make sure the rubber grommet is in good shape on the dipstick. Definitely hard to get water in anywhere else unless you have a really bad oil leak like an o ring missing on the ram or something. Or maybe it got washed at a car wash and the dipstick popped up?

Learn something new every day... But I gotta say that decal looks a little wonky. Maybe it's just the focus.

Sometimes I just give up and accept that I cannot support a part accessibly for painting in one session. 😉

I put in a separate PR valve when I added two remote circuits to our Eaton 500 tractor. Tricky fitting it in and routing the plumbing.

Im now 60 and have done yoga on and off since I was early 20s. I can do a deep Buddha squat from standing to bum down to the floor, feet flat, hips completely open with no problem at all, happy to repeat a dozen times. Not many of the young girls in my class are able to even get down. I've just been doing stretches after my 11 hour flight to Perth Australia and was happy to do a forward bend and stand on the backs of my hands, legs locked. Not bad for an old duffer lol. It is very much a case of use it or lose it, but also remember....the body you bring to the mat today may not be able to do what it did last week, but it may do even better next. Listen to your body. Unless of course it just keeps saying sit down and do nothing. Mick

HY 2 Hydraulic Leak
Mike'sHorseBarn replied to Mike'sHorseBarn's topic in Implements and Attachments
Thanks! -
Got a few minutes to finish mine up today so far as welding. Made a test fit just for giggles. This thing is hard to get situated. I thought I had something crooked until I saw the right side of the nose hitch is bent. Handles or not, the floor jack is a must. It weighs just over 80lbs. Now to figure out how to paint this thing!

Well... Crap!
-
I use a long square pry-bar (you'll appreciate that it has a handle) and do it in the large Rubbermaid wheelbarrow in this photo. That way any spillage doesn't go to waste. I've come to the conclusion that 50 lb bags are worth a little extra money for the strain they save you moving them around. I usually mix 2 or 3 at a time, depending on the project.

It is a gem but old is a relative term. Here's an old mixer I picked up free - before and after some modifications. I had to get it lifted higher to be able to get a wheelbarrow under it. My neighbor donated some wheels off of an antique brush cutter. I ended up selling it for $75 then purchasing this Italian job for $75. Great upgrade and it breaks down for storage. I attached a small hitch plate to the front leg so I can pull it with a tractor.

Last Tuesday night I couldn’t sleep, no matter what I tried I just could not go to sleep, so while laying there awake browsing Facebook I stumbled upon an ad for an online auction. And for once it was 100 miles away, not 1000. Started browsing through the listings and stumbled across this little Allis Chalmers B with only 2 bids on it. It looked rough but I could maybe see some potential in it, and I’ve always wanted a B. So I put in my max bid and went about my business. Thursday night I get an email from the auction co with an invoice for $319…$290 for the tractor and $29 for buyers premium (I hate that they charge seller and buyer premium on online sales, but I won’t get on that rant tonight). Paid the invoice, then remembered my trailer is 100 miles away still at the show grounds along with the WD. Saturday morning I made the trip to the show grounds, loaded up the WD and brought it back to the farm. First 200 mile round trip for the day done…headed out for the second trip to pick up the B. Let’s just say when I got there it was a “little” rougher than I originally thought. But oh well we bought it let’s load it up and get it home. Got home too late last night to mess with unloading it. Fired up the 1940 Farmall A today and drug it off the trailer and into the shop. Started tearing in to it and yeah it’s ROUGH. But we like a challenge around here and I promised the seller that grandads tractor wasn’t going to scrap so we are gonna do our best to try to save it. Here’s the first of probably many videos on the project. With a torch, hopes & prayers, and maybe a tetanus booster she will live again. Stay tuned and enjoy! We Brought Home an Allis B… and Immediately Regretted It 😂 https://youtu.be/PyBvPMV89jY

I did something very similar to what @T-Mo did when I built my splitting stands, but engineered them a bit differently so that with different adapters they would work on several different tractors. Here they are under my M when we swapped the wide front axle out for a narrow, and again under my C when I pulled the engine for a rebuild @JCM good looking Super A you have there. Those smaller Farmalls are some of my favorites. Recently picked up this 1940 A from my late friend Rodger’s collection and got it running again. It’s probably my favorite tractor out of all of them.

I wouldn't use this aftermarket supplier for any customer machine, especially given that it does take some labor to install, but I figure I can give it a shot on our basket case 520 and see what kind of longevity we can expect. It will make a good case study.

520H - how to take off drive belt
Still_Kicking replied to truckin88's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Thanks 04fxdwgi. Your 8 steps worked perfectly. I also removed the right footrest. That made it very easy to slip the belt off the idler pulley providing lots of belt slack. -

Thank you 🙏

Just as long as when we split the apple, I get the bigger half.

Require Sprocket #8685 (update #109207) for WH snowblower Mod 06-37sx01. It drives the chain on the blower. WH-Toro discontinued part.

Yes, the 520’s have some complexity, but except for the panel with the indicator LEDs, there is nothing there that wasn’t on an automobile in the 50’s or 60’s.

5 out of 4 people struggle with math. The other two thirds don’t care.
