How to remove twists from tire chains
GeneB replied to 56servi's topic in Implements and Attachments
Is this what you’re saying to do. Loop red connector under chain and back out -

When we were up in you're all's neck of the woods on vacation, I was amazed and appalled how rust done it's dirty deeds on vehicles. I've never seen rust like you all up north deal with. A buddy and I were talking today that auto makers have produced vehicles long enough that they know where the rust prone locations are. Of course they are in the business of selling us new vehicles. We finished putting my pickup back together today. Started out replacing front differential's oil seal on the driver's side of my 1992 GMC K2500. We ended up dropping the differential because it simply wasn't possible to pull the axle s o we replaced all three seals. While front differential was down, it was excellent time to replace oil pan that was leaving drips in the garage. Then saw anti freeze drops on the lower radiator hose that was the result of my five year old water pump leaking. Pulled the water pump and decided it was a good time to check timing chain after 235,000 miles which required dropping the oil pan again. The timing chain, by the way, was in great shape. (I'm from the age of when timing chains seldom lasted 100,000 miles and wanted to see the status of the chain.) Before we put it back together, we flushed the oil cooler lines and cooler--which didn't contain much more than a big water glass full of oil. I was relieved to see how clean the engine was inside. There was probably less than a cup full of sludge in the oil pan. I'm hoping the rear engine seal isn't leaking because that requires pulling the transmission and transfer case. I unscrewed the fill plug of the transfer case and fluid came gushing out which may indicate the rear transmission seal is leaking into the transfer case. I'll keep an eye on the fluid level of the transfer case. If the transmission rear seal is leaking then I'll take a look at the rear engine seal at some future date.

I haven’t seen them on facebook but generally communicate with him through email. Super easy to deal with and have had the two seats he made for me in hand pretty quick in my opinion - Today

WHX?? replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
@Ed Kennell says they work great. Was always gonna get a set But believe it or not just plain turfs with weights is workin pretty good. Those fronts are the exact same as what @Achto has on his sno pusher. -
Eric - you more than doubled the force on the Unidrive bracket with the scoop compared to a regular 42" plow with all that mass of snow. My concern is our old friend the "F" plate getting cracked and failing. WH used to offer a plate reinforcement kit, but it is NLA... You saw my diagonal bolt-in braces on my C81 and the 854 8 speed. That stops the plate flex. Maybe you will want to do something similar?? Side plates - how about a lower side pivot in line with the trip rod centerline and the top one rides in a radiused "smiley face" cutout following the motion of the plow to allow the blade to trip, yet the sides remain on the ground and upright??

Put the snow blade on again. Haven’t plowed in a long time
Achto replied to My_horse's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Did not get the swing rod or the handle to operate it with the plow. Made the handle, trigger lever, & linkage myself. Oh, the wire from the trigger handle to the triangle pivot was made from a wire coat hanger, been working great for several years now. -
JD's make good parts donors too!!!
-
I know...... Was looking forward to that too. Imagine my disappointment. Got a potential lead on 18hp Briggs & I been exploring alternative power options.
-
Calling for 2-5 here overnight, maybe will get some plowing in tomorrow.

Sure wish we could have seen a vid of the Ber Vac chuckin some snow.

My 312H came with rubber chains. Using Locally made steel vee bars for years, I was expecting that I would never keep these. I was surprised and amazed. They were as good as the steel except on ice. They were better on the bare pavement. They are still on my 312H. - Yesterday

Just for that I'm putting the JD engine back in my 855.

That hand painted hood is straight up awesome!
-
U get to feeling guilty just send it my way. Heck I would even pick it up if U will split the fuel with me .

Does he have these on fakebook marketplace? I almost pulled the trigger on one myself. They look teeeeeeerific. -

Racinbob replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yup. Got them on the blade and blower tractors. A must to protect our long asphalt drive. After using them I like them as well and probably better than steel. I do quite a bit of dirt work with the blade in the summer and they are great in the dirt too. -
Oh, look! Santa came early!

I have never put one of those bearing in from the outside, but what would it hurt. I think that needs replaced because the needles run in the cup area that has the chunk missing. I have JB welded other screen filters before with good results.

Just a brief vid on how it works and why I used it. Removal of old hub and install is on my tube channel.

Bar Nuthin replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Decided since I have two running tractors now, and a snowblower that was setting out by my woodshed, I might as well hook it up and make sure it's ready to go in case it's needed. Could have used it last week! We got a few more inches today, but the C141 and plow made quick work of it. -
A friend of mine had my rear end apart a couple of years ago One of the bull ring bolts broke and the guys on here said to replace it with grade 5 bolts which I had did, replace some needle bearings and gaskets and put it back together. Still had no reverse when put it all back together. Now 4 years later I had the money to professionally had the front pump and rear pump rebuilt The guy said it was ate up pretty bad. When I took the rear pump off I noticed one bearing cover which is the bearing had cracks in it and a little piece out of it My question is do I have to split the transmission or could I drill a small hole in the center and put a sheet metal screw and try to back it out off of the end of the shaft? Instead of pulling the transmission apart? My next question is the filter was laying in the bottom of the transmission Good thing it never got chewed up can I epoxy it to the plug and put it back in the cap seem to have came off of the filter I believe that filter and I'm sure somebody will tell me exactly what it does but the fluid goes through the filter to the front pump so it's filtering the fluid can I just epoxy it onto that plug and then put silicone on the plug and put it on? I know drilling a hole in that cover for the bearing is not the right way but I sure do not want to split that case apart. Just asking if anybody has ever done that or thoughts on it.

Picked up these rubber tire chains at this summers Wheel Horse Show. Anyone use them? Thoughts? Might set up a second plow rig with these on it, see how they “grip”
