I have lots of GT14 lift/rock shafts Rob. Let me know if you need one. It’s pretty busy to get the side plate off to access it, but doable.

Such a thing as midnight concrete? I'll get Pullstart to help...

Well Monday went by fast. I bought the parts tractor sight unseen.... I gotta stop doing that. It's the super rare woody anniversary edition... 1 of 1. You'll just have to wait to see what I mean - Today

That's what I'll do, likely J7 like @sqrlgtr suggested. Not sure I can run steel line like @peter lena suggests but I like the thought of it if I can fish some through without a bunch of bends.

Anyone Deal with GIGA Tire?

When I ordered my 4 tires they had two different shipping dates, but they all arrived on the same day. My bottom line, I received everything that I ordered and the price ultimately wasn't out of line, but I won't order from them again, I'll get them from somewhere that shows the price up front. -
Pull a building permit to pour concrete in your big shed & your assessor will be more than happy to adjust your taxes.

I love my 416H. I also have JD 425 (with the Kawasaki liquid cooled twin), and I prefer the Wheel Horse over it any day. I use my 416 in the summer to haul firewood out of the woods, and in the winter to snowblow. It’s always surprising what that 16 horse engine can do. The forecast is calling for 2-4’ of snow tomorrow. I got the tractor fixed just in time.

I was telling my wife a couple of days ago that it saddens me to see our farmlands being busted up into small acreages. Minimum lot size in rural areas in Missouri are one to three acres dependent upon soil condition and perking for septic systems and wells. Our subdivision started out with lot size of about 1 1/4 acres. Then when the law changed, the remaining lots became 2 1/2 acres. 2 1/2 acres is a lot to mow, In my opinion, they certainly don't need that much land for septic system and well. Land here in south Missouri isn't THAT productive but these overly-large lots are NOT productive. We've got several farms being broken into 5 to ten acres. I understand housing needs and I wouldn't want to give my 1 1/4 acres for a 1/3 acre lot in town. On the other hand, some of the lots in town a person can barely ride a mower along side of the house. There's 400 acres just down the road with a gravel road through it and homes being built. Progress I suppose. Our family farm is pretty safe from "development". It already has three oil lines and two overhead power lines and a oil pumping station on it.

Funny all four weren't in the same box/package . After your sure you got all your stuff write them a nasty gram sayin all your bros in the tractor club WILL NOT be ordering. I would and specifically mention the bend over fee. -
You sure about that? News to me I need to make sure my assessor knows that. You gotta have one of those for a pole shed??? Now that is just stupid. Building permit I can see. Wadda they think yer gonna live out there?? I suppose the ole lady kicks ya out for buyin tractors but still.

My F250 4x4 had the earlier 2V version of the V10, which was simpler and probably more reliable than the later 3V version, which seemed to have a reputation for valve timing related issues.

Do they have a roll you can buy/per foot ? I usually look for the USA stuff on the bay because I hate shopping .

Well here is my final experience with GIGA TIRE. I ordered 4 Deestone tires on Jan 3, & paid the extra fees. On Jan 9 I received 2 Deestone tires at my door. Jan 10 I sent an email to GIGA TIRE with a complaint and the picture that Fed Ex sent that clearly showed 2 tires delivered to my door. Jan 10 I received a reply from Tires Easy with a claim number recognizing my claim ??? Jan 13 I get a reply from Giga Tire Telling me that Fed Ex must have lost my package and that they had to allow then 72hrs to find it. They asked if the package could not be found if I wanted a refund or replacement. I answered replacement. Jan 13 received an email from Tires Easy thanking me for my reply, Jan 14 received an email from Giga Tire thanking me for my patients while they resolve the issue. Jan 16 receive an email from Giga Tire Explaining that Fed Ex can not find the tires and that replacements will be sent out. Then that they were sent out. Jan 19 My 2nd set of tires finally arrive. Bottom line - I was not happy with the surprise handling fee. I only received 1/2 of my order. They made it right. Would I order from them again?? Probably not. - Yesterday

Wow, must be nice. In PA if it can't blow away it's considered a "permanent structure".

I did more than that. I stopped playing nice.

Ok i am going to give you guys a good suggestion about the snowplow skids for Wheel Horse early snowplows. i have used a plow with the bowl cup shoes for fifty years. These will wear on the bottom over time depending on your setting of the snowplow. My dad was a blacksmith and we remade ours. Last time we made a pair together with my brother it took about two and a half hours. 45 minutes to make them and the rest to figure the math for metal volume . We made the sidewalls of the skid bowl 1/4 thick as opposed to original 1/8 inch. You can see wear holes on the original 1/8 inch wall bowl below! Last year I had two sets made for $30 by a blacksmith shop. 1/4 thick again. But my next sets will have a solid bowl with a 3/4 hole for the six inch long 3/4 rod. So support your local blacksmith shop. They need the work and this helps them make something they never made before! The skill to do is valuable and you are preserving some originality!

good to see ya aint lost your touch -
Thanks my current problem is how to get off the H frame inside the rails that the lift arm mates to...... I have it loose inside the rails so question is how can I get it out? Do I have to remove at least one of the side rails? Has anyone done this and what is the best procedure?

Probably the original got chewed up at the bearing and the PO replaced with the wrong part. There are a bunch of different ones that can (obviously) be made to work. PO may have checked the Toro price and just used what he had instead- once he woke up and got up off the floor... -

A 6 or 8 speed transmission should have a good inch of axle shaft showing between the back of the hub and the transmission case. If the other side is flush to the outside of the hub AND touching the transmission case... that's the short axle. Not original.
