replacement back wheels B115
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to amiga4001's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Someone was making replacement hubs that use a split tapered bushing between the hub and the axle. Using the same hub with the appropriate tapered bushing ID should be possible. Make sure the axle key will fit. I just don't know who it was nor can I find anything about them. -
800 Special & 50” Sickle

That’s the type I use, and I grind the one little protruding metal bit so it can’t turn and scrape the cone pulley. So if I use a spring as you suggest, that would benefit as well. So the spring goes to where exactly off that clip? Frame hitch pin? Can you get a picture of one of yours? There’s also a way to use a spring on the throw lever, we discussed this quite a ways back whenever I first built the 800 Special. -
You should check with AZ Tractor he might have one but shipping it to Texas, might be more expensive than the hood

Our tomato bushes are in 4 ft high cages and the plants are out the top and all the way back to the ground. They made OK in May/ June then it got too hot for them to set fruit. I’ve read at somewhere over 93-95F the bloom but don’t set fruit. Mid-Sept they gradually started producing. Since mid-October we have been picking a pan full about every 3 days. My wife has made several batches of homemade tomato soup, wow is it good. She also has made spaghetti sauce. Also she just blanches them and freezes them for later use.

Here's a C160 I got out of a hedgerow, all it gets is a yearly rub down w/MMO

You could use some WH hubs from 4/4 speed transmissions that have a 1” ID. Then use a 3/4 to 1” bushing. -
My absurdity is I threw my back out yesterday, and I am still here and I got a couple of things fixed today. I'll pay for it tomorrow...depending on what @953 nut comes up with. I hope it is something like a lay-back day. I found a liquor store that still has some Rock & Rye on the shelf. No dancing tonight. I need Oxycodine for a few days.

I recently scored two C-160’s. I’m not messing with the paint, I just power washed them and sprayed them with WD-40.

I wanted to remove a wheel from my B115 as it needed a new Tyre. Nightmare to get these wheels off I ended up dismantling the gearbox and taking out the axle and use a press and torch. I got those wheels off but I damaged the wheels (centre is not straight anymore) so I am looking for a new set, I was thinking about mounting a wheelflange with studs to be able to easy mount dismount the wheels in the future. Anyone tried this?Any tips?Most flanges I can find are metric size not imperial 3/4? Thanks!

Sorry about bouncing around on topics. Actually the petcock is for the gas tank. The transmission drain plug is a plug that requires a hex socket. Thanks for the confirmation on the gears, that saves a chunk of money -

No sealent. I would not use that petcock !! That petcock will hang down below the transmission and just be waiting for you to run over something that will break it off. All you need in there is a brass plug with pipe thread...available at any hardware store. Your gears look fine, they cleaned up vvery nice !! -
The price would say otherwise though wouldn't it lol

Just another bit of evidence that Interstate batteries are no better than any other low end product.

Say Pete, do you use a sealant or shellac on a paper gasket at all? I used a super thin rub of Ultra Black RTV (My Indian Head was totally dried up!) -
Brake pivot arm and bushing assembly ready to be installed. Note the pink spacer that I punched out of 0.015" plastic shim stock that slip onto bushing to remove play from the pivot arm but still allows for free movement. Brake pivot arm has not been repainted as it was in good enough shape as removed, bushing was bead blasted and painted. Brake pivot arm and bushing assembly installed. Brake pivot arm spacer installed.

Yes, I saw that, but everything on my tractor is 30+ years old, a new cab would just feel wrong. Also, as far as the pockets, mine are wayyyy too shallow.

That looks like a typical Horse find in Texas!
