    1st time I've seen someone have that break! Might be a good time to change to a home made foot control.

    Anyone know about milk cans?

    I recently got a few milk cans and know nothing about THAT hobby…

    Been a long time...

    Updates to the fleet: Diesel did great running the blower all winter after my green machine started having issues losing reverse (that turned out to be a bent hydro linkage), haven't really run it much otherwise, but I did try to plow the garden with it, and it seemingly seized up after 2 passes (which is ironic because the green machine survived doing most of the garden unscathed). It did unseize itself but I'm thinking the transmission is cooked because the engine seemed no worse for wear but the hydro pump is acting weird now. 1912 has been power steering swapped since I determined the manual steering parts are rarer than hen's teeth apparently. I have all the hydraulics in and working but the column needs to come back out to reseal it, since I had to disassemble it twice because the column has been apart in the past and was assembled wrong, and now that it's back together and working it leaks. I'm gonna scooch the engine forward 1/2" since the PTO placement is all wrong which is resulting in a steep belt angle from the mule drive to the engine. Battery placement has been a several month long question but I'm actually just gonna put a thin ATV battery behind the radiator because the only other options are having it nearly rubbing the hydro linkage or sitting above the muffler, and I don't want either of those. 140 has been majorly cleaned up and is honestly a whole different tractor. The hydro is definitely hurting a bit (the relief valve for the drive motor keeps kicking out when you put it under a heavy load) but it actually has reverse now that the hydro linkage isn't hitting the rockshaft cylinder. Managed to plow most of the garden until the tractor ran completely out of gas. I want to get a 3 point for it still and also have some other minor things left to fix but it's actually a usable tractor again.
  7. I figured this group might a good source of information since we have an appreciation of old metal with patina. My Son In-law gave me this relic he found while doing demo on an old house and barn he bought. Does anyone here have any interesting insights on this 5-gallon milk can?

    I would guess that disassembly and reassembly will take more time than the cleanup and welding. Here is an intact control arm for reference. You might just choose to pick up a replacement depending on what you find when you look at the rest of it but it shouldn't be a catastrophic failure IMO.

    Prepare to be WH amazed. If it's WH, it'll be there. And hang out for the ice cream social and cruise night Fri evening. Time will go by so fast that you'll think you time traveled and missed a day somewhere so try to soak it all in. I'm fairly easy to find if you see the bike, so stop and say hello. Your welcome to take it for a spin too. What all is needed when I arrive there? Nothing except you're expected to have a good time. Park and enter the area. Is there a fee? Nope But as mentioned it's always a good idea to join the WHCC. I’d like to bring my 1257 to ride around on, maybe. Definitely bring it. It doesn't need to be a trailer queen resto and most tractors there are workers. I’d also like to try and meet most of the good people from this forum but I only know user names, is there a spot “red square” usually has? Spread all over but you'll be able to run into many I look forward to the show and see all the stuff and tractors. Bet you won't be able to see it ALL I’ll be there Friday and then go back to the hotel and then come back Saturday. Hopefully that’s ok. Absolutely. No admission, no tickets no nonsense. Park and walk or ride right in.

    I’m usually along the back wall of the exhibition building. However this year I might just bring stuff to sell? But you can find me walking around talking nonstop about Wheel Horse Tractors. Oh wait, that doesn’t really narrow it down to much now does it? That could be most of us here on RS ! Or how about this? That’s me on the right with my Work Horse GT-1800 and on the left is the guy that makes the show, the Master of Ceremonies Wild Bill Pearson.

    I think i found the problem with the temp gage. There are supposed to be 3 screws through the PC into the gage. One is missing. The whole tractor is metric, soo, more research on the screw size. Until I get that figured out, I'll check the sending unit and the wire from it to the gage.

    Here is a started guide for finding where a few of us are likely to be hanging out if we are there at the time you stop by.

    What's the exact fuel pump you're using?

    K181 Carb issues

    The boy went to mow tonight and couldn't get the engine to start. I took a look, and fuel was running out of the carb. So I took it apart, checked the float and needle, they are working at best I can tell. They pass every test I know, I can flip the carb over and not be able to blow through it, I can hold the float up and get no fuel, I can let go of the float and it drops, along with the needle. But as soon as I put the bowl on and prime the fuel system fuel starts running out of the carb. This is one that has had an electric pump installed. Aside from the pump overwhelming the float I'm at a loss.

    @76c12091520h has a nice trailer hitch too. I have a couple here. Highly recommended.
  26. I was cultivating like a madman when this popped off. Please tell me it's a relatively easy job to weld it back together. As usual any other for-warnings are appreciated too. Thanks!

    Thats cool, unfortunately tho because of our work schedule Thursday evening is when I’ll be on the way there, then hit the sack and Friday morning early will be at the show. I heard that Thursday is the best day for gettin what you want while gettin is good. The only thing I really want I already made plans with a dude to meet there, hoping he keeps his word. I have other small things on a list, mostly if I see something by sight.
