C Series Clutch Shaft Frame Bearings

I can be done with less, I just used my 50 year old 1/2" drill. [/url I also did the same with the PTO shaft while I working on my C-120. -

My 1974 D200 has the slot head tow valve.

Ok.....hope da Bear has spotted what he thinks he's spotted! I saw an old D-200 (tall gas tank) up against a tree in neighbors yard. Hood is off.... Covered in branches and snow...... I have seen my prey......now I bide my time until I see owner outside in the yard. (I don't want to be the stranger knocking on doors at inconvenient times for homeowner). I might be able to bag a parts tractor if the price is right (insert evil laugh)

You're on the right track! The Dunning-Kruger Effect The less you know, the more confident you feel. As you learn more, you realize how much you don't know. Ignorance fosters confidence, while mastery leads to humility.

I have been reading about the tow valve in the pdf manual. It should be a "square" similar to the one I post in photo below. However, mine is not! Mine appears to be a standard slotted screw. Is this an indication of someone in the past unable to open tow valve and shearing off the "square"??

Ok..... I will jump around as I inspect the new/old D-200. Things seem very wrong in wheel horse country folks. I don't recognize the components or orientation of some things on the k532 Kohler and tractor. Someone has added an aftermarket fuel pump. 😭😭😭. It likely operates at higher pressure than original mechanical fuel pump (always preferred). This likely contributed to the hydrolock situation on the engine and one backfire in engines recent past could have blown that seat loose. As my mentor Taryl says "some should just throw all their tools away if they don't know what they're doing". Of course not everyone can know everything. I'm a prime example of uneducated on many aspects of these tractors. But I try not to bumble ahead. I do research. Try to seek out knowledge and experience in others. (cmon guys, jump on this thread) It sure sucks to try to clean up someone else's mess. And this mess could have come from a repair shop and not necessarily a previous owner. Luckily da Bear has some sources hidden in remote accesses of this country..... Where original NOS metal/mechanical fuel pumps still exist. I have to wait until Monday to call da man. He's so old school he doesn't know what a computer or Internet is!! 😁😁😁

What did you do today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Mickwhitt's topic in non tractor related discussion
I worked at Hannaford. it’s the weekend before Christmas so we were uncommonly busy today. With five of us working we shopped 1000 items in the first three hours our department was open. We had 1400 items by 2:00 pm. Most orders were 50 items or less. It ended up being 40 + orders by 3pm. Our hours are 9-7 open roughly as someone is there to open at 6am and close at 8 pm. 60 orders is the cutoff for a store our size. I’ll know tomorrow how close we got as my shift ended at 3. My paternal aunt also celebrated her 70th birthday. The party was scheduled 1-4 but as family gatherings usually go it went to 6. It was good seeing family and friends especially after a busy day at work. I’m working tomorrow too. I’m expecting it to be like today if not worse. -
Been doing some reading on this o ring/seat. It seems some carbetrators do not use a brass seat. And rely on this o ring/seat to seal off needle. More investigation and learning ahead. The more I think I know, the more I prove I don't! 🤣🤣🤣 Don't jump on me if I make a mistake. But hopefully I will learn from them. More to follow.

Come on guys the answer is always another Wheel Horse tractor -
Wasn't too long ago I bought a new name brand battery for a Wheel Horse and it was bad when you put a load to it.

I find easier going through the shifter hole myself, of course you risk breaking the shifter set screw if it hasn't ever been removed or has been years since removal . I would rather be a tad to low as overfilled myself just my . -
I've always liked the full sized sedans with a 4 speed and a big block. Does not really matter if they are Mopars, Fords, or Chevy. A few years back there was a small car show in Sedalia, Mo. My favorite there was a '63 Ford Galxie with a 4 speed and a big block. Don't know if it was an R code or not.

Same thing I'm doing about finding Jimmy Hoffa and D.B. Cooper. Nothing. I have a torpedo heater and a radial kerosene unit. I'll see how they do this winter and make adjustments from there. I am going to get a few cans of spray foam and close gaps where the old building's wall is chipped and the corrugation of the wall leaves gaps to the framing. The old section of the building has broken windows and is also poorly insulated, but I took the door out because it was a pain, and the wood was so rotten that the screws wouldn't thread out. But that door is an odd size, so replacing it is not cheap or easy, so I have a giant hole in the wall either way.

Seconded -
If this car was in Edmonton 1970, a trade in at Crosstown Motors sent out to one of their satellite lots, Kingsway car sales. As the lot boy there I've had the pleasure of driving this car. Returned to the lot white as a ghost and vibrating all over.

Whst are you doing for insulation and heat?

Well, since I bought two quarts, I might as well add the extra 1/2 quart. Thanks -
I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I don't like starting fluid either and to be honest I felt bad when I was doing it. At the moment I don't have any spray bottles available, I guess it's time to order some more, and I'll get a pump on order and also a kit for the metal pump so I can rebuild it. Thanks -
Yeah, about that... I don't have a funnel that works well with the wife's car. I went walking through with an empty bottle looking for a knife so I could cut it open for a funnel and ended up slinging oil all over the place. At least it was clean oil. Happened after that picture was taken though.

Handy Don replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Most of us strongly prefer to use a spray bottle with gasoline. Starter fluid isn’t the best for the engine. Yep. A series of spurts, actually. -
Excellent work and nifty mentoring as well! And no oil on the floor...yet!

The BBT and I played two games. We each won one.
