Question and Advice on D520Lxi for Front Blade!

Very nice what more could a guy ask for ty so much buddy 😀 -
C120 strikes again... Setback #5, (I think)
James Wright replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Those pedestal bolts snapping above the threads sounds like a fatigue problem more than anything, so I'd check the Charger 12 frame for cracks before drilling for the through-shaft and PTO linkage — tapping into thin cast can go badly fast. On the rims, I'd lean toward the wider 12-inch set for stability with fluid fill, even if the skinny rims make the AG tires look taller. Taller sidewall does look better, though. Given the Michigan fall, at least the soaking is happening indoors. -
Question and Advice on D520Lxi for Front Blade!

Wow ty great job 👏 -
Hello there Horse Family! Another great fall day and time after work to get a few things done. Not so fast! Went to move the C120 and the entire steering pedestal moved enough to the left, the hood opened. No bolts on the right side and the left broke off above the bolts. No problem! Wrong!!! Too thin to weld, ok! I got a Charger 12! Started tearing it down and two problems. First, there's no spot for voltage regulator and gauge. Second, Charger 12 has electric PTO and have to drill out holes to run the through shaft and tap holes for the PTO linkages. So, I got the roll pins soaking and steering wheel shafts soaking so hopefully, no broken steering wheels. However, I did notice that the Charger 12 has a cigarette lighter and appears to have not been used. Choke and throttle pull cables still work and looks like plenty of good used parts. I also want opinions on what rims I should use for the AG tires on the rear. Do I use the skinny rims so the tires appear to be bigger or the 12 inch rims? I'll be fluid filling them anyways and painting them before mounting and fluid filling. Tell me what you would do, no wrong answers!! Thank you all! BTW, I'm not dismounting the original tires from rims, I found an extra set 12 inches wide 😄

I've watched it done but never been through personally. Songo locks between Sebago Lake and Long Pond. Only about a 4 foot differential. Very interesting to see.

Last year, we, my wife and another couple from the mid west, spent some time on the Erie Canal. Very interesting and my first time to pass through locks. Some take-aways for me was how quickly the locks filled and lowered. 2. There was a private boat passing through the locks. If I understood, there was no charge for their passage. 3.There is one place where we drove under the canal. I am amazed how the builders were able to predict the fall in elevation needed for the water to flow at the speed that I suppose was desired. I realize that cultures built canals many centuries ago but I found the Erie Canal quite interesting.

Won't need to buy another tractor but there'll definitely be one built for camp. Trina and I will each have one there. Also several implements which we already have two of. Snow plows. Mid mount grader blade. Mackissic chipper shredder. Some sort of trailers.

Wheelhorse 312 8 transaxle bracket cracked
ebinmaine replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Definitely a good idea -
This is an excellent help. It tells me that you have about 6 inches of range from low (roughly parallel to the ground) to high even using the uppermost hole on the hitch. So for me back to finding out why our Tractor doesn’t give me that same range. I am wondering if there is a difference in the length of the lower arm on the mid-tractor rock shaft. Hmmmm. Thank you 🙏

What did you do today?

Sounds like a reason to buy another tractor…the “camp tractor” it’ll be called -
Wheelhorse 312 8 transaxle bracket cracked
Wheelhorse3128 replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
I think I will add a thick plate like in that picture and double up the sides as I'm going to mount a front loader subframe on it. -

ebinmaine replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Agreed. This particular frame will be used for the new "C160-8 Super Heavy Duty" chassis for the Wally Digger Backhoe. On a stock frame for my own C160-8 Cinnamon Horse I added a piece of angle iron to each side. -

This is a pic I pulled from a thread @ebinmaine had a while back and this is what my 520's plates' looks like and the way they came from factory. Just to give you an idea maybe? I always thought doubling up the side triangle pieces would really help also and still have that original look to it. -
As stated previously, the BBT and I have been looking at possibilities for a small amount of land a couple hours/ 100 miles ish northeast of home. We go to the Weld and Carthage ME area usually twice a year. We go to a place about 40 miles northeast of Greenville ME once or twice a year. We've been wanting to explore and hike more up towards the Carrabasett Valley area. Trina's been looking off n' on for several years. A few weeks ago we found a neat little hopefully quiet spot in Mercer Maine. Today we signed an offer for purchase. If all goes right we'll own it within 2 to 3 weeks.

And weld the existing cracks? -
Yes it would seem the more educated some people become, that's where common sense is destroyed.

The 3/8-16 size is straightforward once you have a thread gauge or just test nuts at a hardware store—the 3/8 is the shaft diameter and 16 is threads per inch. On the longer-bolt question, that's worth thinking through first: if the plan is a reinforcement plate between the transaxle and F-plate, the pulley moves rearward and the drive belt may no longer fit. Measuring the current belt and checking pulley alignment before buying hardware would save a second trip. -
If the highly educated were truly intelligent then they wouldn't have needed so much education in the first place.

Especially since he has a PhD in something

You mean like right where the engine (probably the heaviest single piece of that thing) is?

It's sad that nowadays there is a lack of common sense.

@Handy Don top hole looks to be 7 1/2”- 13 1/4” bottom hole 8”-13 3/4”. Hard to see in pics but thats pretty close when I got down on floor (u owe me lol) and measured with tape. Last pick is turning plow point and it had a difference of 1”-2 3/4” from top hole and bottom hole in transport position. Hope this helps ya out. BTW thats with 23x10.50’s on back and they are pretty true to size.
