This was an old horse drawn bog that was on the farm. Dad had taken it apart to use some disk. I selected some of the better parts and made this. Trying to reseed some bare spots on a bank. Used this to catch some of them before thay washed away.

That is a good friend of mine in the video that lives a couple of miles away. Neat to see posted on here.

Not even if you shake it like a Polaroid picture?

What else are you supposed to use it for? I never heard of it before Squonkies. -

I can hook you up, I got a can you can have. -
Evening, Been considering getting this sulky, painting it up, tires, was recommended to add a basket for parts finds at swap meets.. was further recommended a closed storage.. wondering if anyone has a tote on tractor, trailer or sulky, such as one of these that someone can stand on and are waterproof.

Never tried it but wouldn't be beyond it... twice I liked it. Will have to pick up a can ever see it on a shelf. - Yesterday

It's been pointed out that shaking the oil can not reintegrate the additive package.
-
I like the yellow, slippery, petroleum kind my self, for air or water cooled.
-
But some of the oil in the Lake Speed Jr. video was over 20 years old with very little separation and he never opened the new oil container to see if there was any separation. The Mobile 1 forty year old oil was quite impressive Also, he pointed out that the oil cans instruct you to shake the can prior to using it. If any of you have some twenty year old unopened oil cans you want to give away I will be at the Big Show and be happy to give them a new home.

I’m not the original owner. I found a guy a few years ago near Germansville, Pa who did home / estate cleanouts who listed it for sale with a bunch of other stuff including a 520-H. All low hour stuff sitting in a garage for many years. I sold off some stuff but kept the 418-A. I try to put a few hours a year on it to keep it running good. Always use ethanol free gas in all my stuff and it makes a huge difference in performance.
-
Beautiful 418 @Ike ! Are you the original owner? Don’t see many with that little amount of time on the clock. Certainly looks well taken care of. Don’t be afraid to post more pictures of it since this thread is about 418’s !! I remember after I bought my Work Horse GT-1800 in 1984 and then seeing those 417 and 418’s that came out kinda wishing I had one of those instead. I remember looking at the brochure and thinking “Damn, those are really nice!” Now I’m very fortunate have both.

Yesterday I went in to work and asked our parts counter if they can still get an OE steering gear for my 87 Ranger. To their surprise, but not mine, they could. I figured it was a good bet since I know that same box was used on Econolines well into this century. $362 dollars and about two hours of work later it my steering actually steers. I had almost an 1/8 of a turn of free play in the center of the box, and it leaked pretty good. Reman OEM unit and it steers like new, and as far as I can tell, no leaks. Worth every dollar.

Spraying fences again today. Have to do this once every couple years. You can see the difference in front of the tractor vs behind... -
Here is my 418-A. It now has 138 hrs and it is such a smooth running machine! It is a bit dusty still holding up.

Rear fenders done with Penetrol. This pic is after a year of application. No slime and any dust blows off with a leaf blower. This is a pic after a month after application. Here's what they looked like before anything was done. -
I guess this thread has kind of morphed into more of a restoration thread and if Mods want to move it to a more appropriate forum that would be fine. Or leave as is will be fine also.

Got a little more done today. Carb cleaned, mounted and manilfold torqed down. I cant belive it ran as good as it did with all the trash in carb. Had wrong fuel bowl to carb top gasket so had to use old one, then found a new one of the right style . Also got engine tins painted and guess thats what needs to go back on next. Probably need to check that 9 pin connector Ive read so much about while I got motor pulled out of the way .

Which Year Wheel Horse I have and 310-8 on Hood?
Railboy replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Hello 953 nut and people, after diving into the tractor today, I have learned that I do not have the "Relay" that the "Tan" and "Orange" wire in the diagram of the 1987 310 Model Diagram has it in. I have pulled the Dash out with Ignition and also, there are no secret Relays or Rectifier to be hidden. I did find the Light Blue Wire thus mine are painted. I did a continuity check from the engine connector to the Ignition, and then went for the Dark Blue finding it getting continuity at the connector of the Dark Blue Wire to the "Test Switch" for the Light it triggers. So, bear with me on something here as I looked at my diagrams. I am to disconnect the plug to the only relay left, the one that the Solenoid goes to with the Purple Wire? And this is the only one I have that gets power from the 15 amp. fuse to the Solenoid and Battery Cable, and so you know, the Fuse wire ties into the Battery Terminal Cable back to the battery. And so, go ahead and connect that Purple to the Light Blue Wire at the Engine Connector, Mimicking the Oil Sender? That is all I am to do? And in doing so for the relay has no connector for I have unplugged it and pull the relay out? And this will get rid of all my safety switches in doing so, for that is the only relay I have, is this true? lol And to pass it along, that relay that I have and is using a stock connector has the Dark Blue, Light Blue and Purple going into it. So, this is the connector to disconnect from its relay. And so you know, this relay grounds out to the chassis, which I guess hopefully is of no consequence for further operation for the relay will be disconnected, stopping the fuse from Blowing? And just a note here, I will have no "Safety Switches" like the Clutch remaining if I got this correct? Everything has been by-passed? Thank ya'll for ya'll's time, sorry about the confusion, but the Seat Safety Switch I learned was just taken out, there is no pathway for the current, there is no connection of the wires when the person did it. Thing is this also had me thinking that is how the Oil Sender worked as well. And yes, confused at the beginning, but think ya'll for ya'll's knowledge. -
Ya know, I could really use a top of the line UTV for my sprawling 1/3 acre homestead! Funny story about UTV's ( I know but I have a million of them!) We had a couple of Kubota UTV's at work for plowing snow and hauling mulch. The lead guy in the Nursing home shop had to move some furniture so he enlisted the painter and another guy in our shop to help. They were going to use one of the UTVs'. Those 2 guys were wound tighter than a crick rock and our guy (Josh) was pretty mellow. They were going to do the job after lunch. at the same time our new building was being constructed and there were contractors all over the place. So they meet and go out to get the UTV and the lead guy (John) says there it is and goes and drives it over. Josh looks at it and thinks man the grounds guys beat the crap out of this thing. It's all rusted and dented. "Are you sure this is ours?" So they spend a couple of hours moving furniture.. Meanwhile the electrical contractor can't seem to find their rented Kubota UTV so they think it's stolen and call the cops. They get there and start the search but somehow the guys evade the cops for over an hour. finally they get pulled over and surrounded by 2 cop cars. It was then they closed the tailgate and the words "ADMAR RENTALS appeared on the gate.

That's why I buy Kinetix brand by the Case Quantity. Shipping is free. Price is excellent. Convenience is tops. Win. Win.

To match up to an OEM pan, the two holes on the PTO side that hold the pan on have to pass all the way through the pan. The factory bolt holes in the pan have a beveled cut in the bottom so drilling them with a 1/8 bit from the top on your drill press is easy and they remain centered. Then you flip the pan over and re-drill with a 5/16 bit using the 1/8 hole as a pilot hole. Flip the pan again and tap from the top with a 3/8 tap so the threads are continuous all the way through. Simple. Just don't do this without using a drill press. Handheld drilling tends to "walk" around and will allow the initial 1/8 drill to drift off center.
-
You lost me there for a second KP but I think I see the light. Are the bosses in the pan to do it or don't need them? I don't think yer gonna do that to a 3/8 J bolt!
