    Sickle Part 2660

    I buy IH Red by the gallon Rust-Oleum I agree it is a wonderful match with just the right mix. This one little part just spray bomb it.

    If your using a gun get some enamel hardener such as Majic brand hardener from tractor supply. Do not use their paint just the hardener. Drys much faster and higher gloss.

    875 Wheel-a-matic

    I just brought that 875 home a few hours ago. I even thought about going to look at the Electro as well. I'm pretty amazed that there are forum members everywhere. Not the first time I've seen posts about tractors I wanted to buy

    What did you do today?

    Cordless electric chainsaws are very handy. I have several gasoline-powered chainsaws: An Echo, a Poulan, a John Deere, and a pole saw attachment for my Husqvarna strimmer, but my little Milwaukee M18 chainsaw is the one I use most often now. Since we downsized to one property two years ago, we're down to 2-1/2 acres, which is mostly wooded, but I don't need the big saws as much. I've cut down 12-inch-diameter trees with the Milwaukee, and it uses the same batteries as my other Milwaukee tools. It's also very handy for limbing trees once they're down, as well as trimming firewood. Now that I think about it, the pole saw attachment 'might' (I'll have to check) also fit my wife's Milwaukee string trimmer (which I bought for her because she likes to trim around her garden and doesn't like to mess with gas engines very much).

    Around Boston you'd be tie-idd. Up here in Maine you'd be tie-udd. And say it slower.

    Sickle Part 2660

    I had a snowplow for my 195 powder coated a few years ago. He told me he had a great match for IH red. It turned out way to light. Most attachments I have painted with Rustoleum. I used to swear by Sunrise Red, but then Menards had IH red implement paint. I bought a mid mount grader blade that had been broken and welded together crooked. I cut it apart and disassembled the rest for the repair. I figured I might as well finish the job and paint it. That is when I tried the IH red. That did it for me. I am stuck on that now for implements. It looked so good I ordered the correct decals. It looks so nice I have never used it.(I have another.) I'll have to paint a tractor to display it with. Not to steal the thread, but I have another paint question. My neighbor is a IH Collector/Restorer. He uses Majic paint from Tractor Supply. It has a hardener available for better shine and durability. He likes it, and it does look good, but he doesn't keep them long enough to see it's durability or fade resistance. I've heard it is prone to fading. Anyone have any experience with it?

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    What did you do today?

    beat me to it. I couldn't believe how good they work only drawback is the way the head/bar is angled makes it hard to cut up from bottom of tree limb.

    Anyone have any advise for me, getting close to painting stuff and hoping I can get it to turn out decent. So far all the parts have been sprayed with a Rust-Oleum gray primer and I think going to use the Rust-Oleum regal red paint to finish it. I know a bunch of you guys have a lot more experience than I do, just looking for some helpful tips. Thanks

    My brother and I have been busy with chain saws this past year. The family farm has fell into disrepair over the past thirty years after dad died. Some areas of cropland were reduced by up to 36' from fence row to first row of crops by intrusion of brush and trees. We cut down some 200 saplings and several larger trees. This pond dam pictured below was impassable until we cleaned it up. I had never used a pole saw before and the electric ones really come in handy on a job like this.

    Thanks. I doubt it will stay organized forever, and I wish it was a little bigger, but for just me and the boy it's a nice size. I've been working on cars on my back, usually in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter for 25 years. I feel the pain.

    If you was further south, you'd be "tared". I really like how the shop is coming along. Meanwhile me and a buddy are lying on our backs replacing the rear main seal, input and output seals on the transmission and transfer case on my pickup. Enjoy the shop!

    Wheel Horse 416H engine troubles

    Yes I split the manifold and used fuel safe RTV to put it back together. I drilled out where it was held together originally (pins or some kind of rivets?) and used screws/nuts to hold it together. I used new gaskets for the intake/head joint and also for the carb. I’ll do a compression check on it this weekend. I still have the original carb. Since the new one didn’t fix the issue I might as well clean the original and reinstall it.

    I meant Wheel Horse. I believe they had a WD, but I'm not sure if they made a WH. Now I've gotta look it up

    What is this?

    Could be something for a full sized tractor. Working from (faulty) memory here - didn't Allis Chalmers or maybe Case have a 'WH' model?
