What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sodaking27 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
New tires and wider rims on the 314H. Used VHT wheel paint. Not a fan of it. Turned out really rough. Re-sand and paint in the spring. Now to paint the wheel weights. Plan on using the 314 as my plow tractor this winter. Just had the driveway repaved, so going to try a poly edge on the blade and no chains. -
Hydro foot pedal on Eaton 1100’s
Bill D replied to AHS's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The one in the first three photos is probably the best. Totally bolt on. I would like to shorten lever that connects to the transmission linkage, but if I do it hits the steering fan gear. The thow of the pedal itself is very short. The arm on the other two pedals is the same length as the cam control in the hoodstand. Much better pedal pressure. Like I said, all could use some tweaking. -

That one is from a Kubota tractor. -
The addition of tubes in the rear tires will allow you to fill them with winter windshield fluid - about 5 gallons per tire, another 35 lbs of weight per wheel - where it belongs. OR - no tubes but use RimGard (beet juice) IF it is available near you. Almost 10 lbs per gallon and does not damage the tire or rim. It must be dealer installed though, I understand. Adding shallow inner wheel weights - about another 35 lbs each helps too. Ditch the cement filled plastic weights and upgrade to the cast iron ones gets you even more weight, although it can be pricey. I am not a fan of adding weight on the frame / hitch areas, as that puts more load on the rear axle bearings. IMHO, the best place for the weight in on / in the wheels... AND, you get an added benefit from the liquid sloshing around inside - once it is in motion, it continues to do so - a huge benefit while plowing! Front wheel weights and AG style tires make a huge difference too in the snow...

shoulder bolts , linkage magic
ri702bill replied to peter lena's topic in Implements and Attachments
My only concern with shoulder bolts - the aggressive undercut between the inner end of the threads and the working diameter. Side force, even not excessive, can shear them in two. I often specified precision shoulder bolts, as the threads are held very close to being concentric with the working diameter. The receiving part would have a close-fit shallow counterbore or pocket, then the threads. This way, the shear forces went into the part - the threads did just the fastening... -
Looking for answers from others with real experience regarding how much counterweight is needed. Ber Vac installed on 416H. So far I have rear WH wheel weights & then another 100lbs on K&B receiver hitch. Put me on seat & thats another 200lbs🙄. Driveway is only 5yr old cement & pretty level with only a slight grade to the street. I'm not going to use chains. I am considering the rubber chains if needed.

Them $10 pimps will get ya in trouble
-
Wow, that must been quite the trip, indeed! I can remember during my childhood my parents’ excitement when new sections of turnpike or interstate were completed or a new bridges got built to let us travel more quickly. They were more about the destination than the journey having limited money and a car full of sometimes fractious young children!

@Bill D is this the pedal from a MTD mower? I like the looks of it and wouldn't care to try one, I think . -
Two tractors and lots of parts

Thanks, but all newer stuff than I'm interested in. Best of luck! -

davem1111 commented on davem1111's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
@sqrlgtr @Bar Nuthin - you showed some interest before.... @Racinbob , @hcminis , @Ricks 520 , @Indy520H , @Workin_Horses , @puddlejumper , @tractorchick , @rustyedge1 -- tagging some people in the vicinity who might be interested or know someone who is. -
My wife and I got to do part of our bucket list and drove a section of Route 66 last year. I wish we'd had the time to do the whole road while it was still complete. But that takes me back to my dad. In the mid 1930's, he was asked by his foster mother and father, who had just gotten a brand new Packard, to drive them out to Los Angeles. So they went to Chicago, picked up Route 66 and drove all the way to L.A. and back. I wish there were pictures. That trip could have been a movie, "Driving Mr. & Mrs. Daisy".

I tried a couple $10 pimps. They both died the first season. Now have the $30 Carbole pumps on three tractors for several years with no problems. I mount them as low as possible and have good filters before the pumps. Also remove the in tank screens from the petcocks. Do not let the e-pumps run dry.

Hydro foot pedal on Eaton 1100’s
JoeM replied to AHS's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
that might help it return better too? I think running through the linkage causes a good bit of drag on the spring power. I know I ended up using a tighter spring on one to get constant return. -
@jhetcel23 not familiar with your set up , BUT am familiar with flat idler related , belt bounce ? combination of idler , lubrication failure AND LONG UNSUPORTED , belt run , makes for a buzzing repetitive problem . this would require a cure that is not in the book , looking right at it , glairing to me . middle of belt run , needs rolling support . pete

Last winter was the first year I ever had a Wheel Horse with a hydraulic lift, really liked the way it worked with the front plow pushing snow and don't see myself going back to a mechanical lift for that duty anytime soon .
-
Penetrating oil and a few well-placed hits with a cold chisel to expand the race metal will probably break it loose. Heat or Dremel other possibilities.
-
Yeah, I'm in the buy once cry once camp on most things, but the Carbole fuel pumps get some good praise on here so thought I would give them a try.

organizing electric components
davem1111 replied to Beap52's topic in non tractor related discussion
That's a great idea. I think I have enough scrap wood and hinges on hand to make at least one of those without having to buy anything. -
FREE 36" Mower Deck & Parts Deck I am offering up a 36" three blade mower deck to fit 300/400/500 series and many C series and earlier tractors with the attach-a-matic mounting. Shell is good, will need an idler and maybe a belt. Also included is a more rusty incomplete spare parts deck. And if you need it (not pictured) a mule drive and belt. Free pickup in my backyard near Elida Ohio. I can help load. Only stipulation, you must take both, saving me a trip to the scrapper. - Rick

Happy Birthday 19richie66

Happy Birthday Richie! -
Considering the fact that Chevrolet sponsored the show I doubt that a car problem was ever considered.
-
Funny, I do not recall that car ever breaking down.....
