Bit of an update: 1210 is gone. It's been sitting outside for 3 months and I ended up selling it, mainly because I needed money and I was never going to do anything with it. 4 tractors is already too many for what I do, and 5 is overkill. Diesel's been in a bit of a weird spot for a while now, I successfully did some dirt work with it and it handled it no problem, but while I was plowing the garden with it when it suddenly died like the engine locked up, then it wouldn't restart until it cooled off a bit. Hasn't done it since, but since that point, the starter's been acting up. It's doing what the old one did: it won't spin the starter gear unless you line up the flywheel by hand so that the gear can just go out and engage the teeth without rotating at all. Extremely annoying and makes me hate running it, really. Other than that I've just been cleaning it up. The 1912 has had the mower deck put on, but of course, it hates life. The column decided to start leaking power steering fluid everywhere which required a tear down and reseal, and of course it still leaks after being put back together. The main pressure line going into the column cracked after being forced back straight (all the lines got horrifically bent during shipping) so it leaks like a sieve now and will need replaced. Anyway, I got the deck on and decided to test it out, ran like crap as usual and then it decided to throw the driveshaft in the middle of the yard after about 20 feet, and then it threw the belt after fixing that. It's currently sitting because I have no idea where to go from here, the tractor still doesn't have a battery because there's literally nowhere to fit one and I don't want the battery to be mounted outside the tractor, and my plan of using it as a mower for the heavy brush got ruined because the deck only lifts 1/2" off the ground, it can't get the deck wheels off the ground even with them all the way up, despite the mule drive almost hitting the steering lines. I want to take the diesel to the steam show but it's not looking likely, both it and the 1912 are currently on backburner while I work on other things.

Handlebars and cup holders checked off the list. Still up in the air on a basket or wagon. (footpegs are in the shop for a little cosmetic touch-up) Man, this thing is smooth as butter over bumps.

I have one I could let go. PM if you're interested.

I think @Skipper used Grade 9 bolts to rebuild the differential on his C195.

If I remember correctly all you need are the latches as the frame has the U shaped part built into it. My 800 Special is about 35 miles away from me at present'

Happy Birthday. Wishing you some Red seat time -
Hello, I'm wondering if anybody could share information as to how the snow blade rear bracket mounts on an 800 special? I've put them on numerous tractors with uni-drive transmissions, but never put one on an 800 special. According to wheel horse parts and more, the same rear bracket for the 300, 400, B, and C series tractors fits the 800 special also. Just wondering if anybody has a couple of pictures or diagram of how it goes on with that different frame set up with the peerless gearbox. Thanks in advance! Larry

Main jet adjusted too rich (load related, as the governor increases throttle to maintain rpm) Increased vibration from added load may be affecting the following: float level too high, float quit floatin’ right? needle and seat not sealing cleanly dirt in the bowl

Tonight I finished up the C-141 headlight project. Sometimes it pays to have different hobbies as I had a bunch of 1/4 20 bolts to mount the bucket back in after a spruce up with some semi reflective silver paint. This was a test to see if everything was hooked up right. I scuffed up,where the bulbs mounted to give them a good ground. It still needed tweaking. . The final product. I put some of the fuzzy side of some stick on Velcro to act as a cushion. Now, the paint I spent a significant amount of time on shouldn't get rubbed off the lens. Don’t mind the stuff in the background 😁 This is the paint I used. It’s reflective but not overkill. The overall end result was definitely an improvement. -

Happy birthday! I upvoted all these well wishers in solidarity. Hope all is well with you and you check in soon with salutary news. -
I need to remove the flywheel in my 418-A to service (possibly replace) the stator. I want to make sure I buy the correct flywheel puller… can someone post a link to which puller I should get? Thanks!

@Ed Kennell - that stationary bike was a good find. Should help with your wife's knee surgery recovery. That was one of the machines they had my wife on during her post knee op therapy.

@WHX?? Jim from a thread you posted about ridiculous shipping costs but this is for everyone else too . I came across an envelope in the barn and tI’m 98.641% sure that I made an order from them for flanged bronze bushing . If this is the place . I called the number , talked to someone who knew what I was wanting and I understood what he was saying for one . Two , they were cheap. Three , he just threw the four brushing into a snail mail envelope for whatever the actual cost was . I just asked nicely if he would put them into a small envelope and send them through snail mail for me . No Bs outrageous price for shipping . They have way more than just bearings too . Try them out on your next purchase and let everyone else know if they still do this . I don’t see myself buying anything soon https://www.eurekabearing.com - Yesterday

And they also said we have “no mountain lions”! And they still didn’t believe us even after showing a picture of one on our trail cam!

Does this happen without a belt on the PTO? Any unusual ticking or noise around the rocker covers? service manual may be helpful.

Update, took the rectifier out, sanded and cleaned contact points, ran a ground to the battery. The back of the rectifier was dark in spots, but not burned , the plug was melted, someone rapped it in electrical type. Got the engine running, checked out the stator, 30 volts AC, that was only 3200 rpm. Needs linkage adjusted, plugged in rectifier and 14.2 volts DC at 3200.

Have you considered drilling the four threaded holes out to 3/8" and using slightly longer 3/8"-24 grade 8 bolts with flex top locking nuts.

Yes (does WH call out this spec?) I like using wet torque valves on lockers. Not sure if this any good but in the field I liked adding 10%. or two uga dga's

@Sparky that belt pulley set up , those are all small sealed bearings ? how much belt bounce on the longest unsupported run? incremental bearing hang ups , COLLECTIVELY , make that buzz city , thats what eats those set ups , dare to say another spring pushed flat pulley under the longest lower run , might enhance that set up , pete

Success! I knew this was the place to get the correct answer. Thank you sooo much. -
We are allowed to hunt/trap bobcats in PA. You are allowed 1 per year. Cousin of a guy I used to work with regularly ended up catching more than 1 a year, and had to figure out how to let them go. He ended up making this board, basically took a full sheet of OSB, cut a slot out to put over the cat's leg, and when he released the trap they'd just run.

We have those right here local. Beautiful animals.
