Bar Nuthin replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Are you kidding? She'd have it decorated with flowers and have pumpkin spice scent coming out of the exhaust! -

Tell her to pull it all apart and do all the work to make it "pretty" , suddenly she'll agree that patina is pretty too! LOL -
The house tried to cash in on me again back in May with a heart attack. But I'm still at the table!

House tried to take their money back from me on Friday, but I'm still playing.

The whole tractor will likely be coming apart this winter, so maybe I'll save that project until then. I made the mistake of telling my wife I was getting a tractor like this one. And came home with this one. I've yet to convince her that patina is awesome -
New plug and fuel filter. It runs like crap aftef it gets warmed up. Spits shutters backfires then stalls out

They ended up being 11 1/2" wide. I ground the outside down smooth. On the inside I rounded the weld off good but left some build to the weld. The inside rims were rims, this ensured the correct off set. The outside rims did not matter so much because I cut the center plate out of them anyway.

I actually became the old man in which the 20 year old me said I'd never become. But.... with all the stupid things I've done over the years to my body by parting and having fun I didn't really expect to make it to 50 anyway, so I'm already play'n with house money!

Me too. Got one now that makes noise on a 855 but starts right up, generates and just keeps on going. I'll change those SG bearings when it finally needs the engine pulled which I thought would've been 2-3 years ago. Sh** like that don't bother me -

32? I don't mind working but the body is just give'n up on me. Makes it so much tougher for the physical job all day. I actually like to work because it's my gym, social event and I get away from the O'lady all day. Yeah, I hear ya Ed. Stay young at heart brother!

I have ran noisy SGs for a long time. Good intentions on fixing but then some other project pops up. then I hop on that tractor and mutter i really should fix that ... some day ... 'Fish is 100% 3/8. You ever order and get those belts John? Their almost given them away. Wasn't it @Sparky that paid way more for a NAPA? I'm always leary about ordering/getting belts online. never seem to get the right one. -
I'm sure you'll get there John, but I wish I was your age and still working.....Just Sayin. I am thankful I beat the odds, but It just sucks to be a 32 yo that has to live in an 82 yo body.

Should be the same as a 8 The belt should be pretty skinny and fit down inside of the groove of the pulleys. 3/8" The cog belts grip tighter on the smaller generator pulley than a solid belt does. They should be raw edge too as you don't want any slipping of it A 1/2 belt would cause the issues you have - Today

For many years I caped out all the buck and sold them to a local taxidermist for $25. The hides were dropped at a local hide dealer for a $1 each. Unfortunately, both these guys passed a few years back and I don't have anyone close. My arthritic fingers aren't too keen on caping and fleshing hides these days, so now they get returned to the wild with the innards and bones to feed the eagles, hawks, fox, and coyotes.

F U Ed I worked all day. Hope to retire soon. Wish I could be doin' what you're doin'

Pretty sure what is on it currently is 1/2". I'll have to check the length tomorrow. It's a K161. -
Nice! I like that and the price is right too

Bar Nuthin replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Yep. Looking at it again, where it gets warm and has black streak on the inside - I just noticed that the paint is slightly discolored on the outside. That actually makes me feel better. Rather find a noise I can fix, rather than one I would just have to live with. -

to both of those posts. Any black powder from any belt is rubbing. Not sure what you mean by "black streak" but assuming it's belt powder. No belt slap on a SG. It's short enough and should be tight enough to be like a guitar string. Tweaking the guard position should solve any rubbing or you have the wrong belt. I prefer the 31.5" x 3/8 raw edge cog belts for the K181s. Something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/200779063408? -
@Ed Kennell curious what you do with the skins? @oliver2-44?

10 pairs of skis dropped off at my house. Pulled this together in a few hours. Enough skis left for another project... more to come! -
Cranked out another ski bench. This one is an Adirondack chair... as always, no fiscal expenditures...

Yep bad bearing if whining at all. Sometimes it will go away but then come back or I have had them whine ... go away then not come back. Strange had them that were not noisy when put away for winter but then whine when comes out. Easy enough to replace but be ready for black fingers when you open them up. Or wear gloves. Real common 6302 or ....crs ...6203 bearing. Get them on fleabay then do the Greasy Pete repack. Need any help I done zillions of them. Bulk of my tractors are SGs. Yeah belt guards are notorious for coming loose and rattlin around. Watch for pully burn marks too. Mostly on the SG.
