many times 2 ply 4 ply are merely a rating. Many 4 ply rated small tires only have two plys when you cut into them

I'm thinking about going with a 2 ply rear tire for my B100 project. my thoughts are the 2 ply should be softer in the sidewalls and may give better contact patch and look. Anybody have any experience to share about 2 ply vs 4 ply. thanks

Questions about the value of... stuff
Handy Don replied to nyquil junkie's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I hadn’t noticed the hours. That is a pretty big number and caution is indicated. If maintained properly, an Onan P218 can expect a 2,000 hour lifetime. I would dig deep and pointedly on this tractor's history. How frequent were: oil & filter changes (with filter-to-shroud gasket in place), de-carboning of the combustion chambers, valve adjustments, shrouds-off cleaning of the cooling fins, and carb cleaning? A vague or “I don’t know” answer would lead me to walk away or make a price offer as if it were a non-running parts machine. Good Onan practices: the shorter of 100 hour or bi-annual oil changes and 700 hour de-carb and valve adjustment. No fixed interval for shrouds-off cleaning but as needed by paying attention to how it was used. Operating in dusty situations (dry grass or leaves or dirt) or any sign to oil leakage on the cooling fins necessitate more frequent cleaning. As for the Eaton 700, the quickest way to judge it is to peek into the under-seat oil expansion tank atop the transaxle after the tractor has been running and moving for at least five minutes (which heats up and expands the oil in the transaxle). If the tank is empty or if the oil in it shows any metallic particles (dip and retrieve using a clean wide screwdriver and spread the oil under a bright light), the Eaton has not been treated properly. -
I haven't watched late night since then.

New-to-me Horse (and other stuff) Hauler!!
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Working on the pre repair shop to-do list this morning. Bleach seat. Seal up the roof lights so it can sit outside. Put axles in pile. Check that tote for other parts. Check and count all bearings. Re-read Redsquare thread to recall all axle information. Install battery and hold down. CHANGE ENGINE OIL. Start: -
Will do and advise. Thanks

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
953 nut replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I always blame things on the previous owner too. -
It could be done with the deck on the tractor, that way you can inspect it as used. If the gage Wheel support rod is bent or tweaked it could hold one side up higher than the other. if that is the case you could put one end in a vise and use a long pipe wrench to twist the other end to match it. If you don't have these tools available make friends with someone who does.

I will try this and advise. Do this process with the deck off the tractor? Don't know how the deck worked with the 314. If the assembly is bent, any thoughts on how to correct? Thanks for the help!
-
So they just create a pocket under the floor and or vapor barrier and use the fan to create negative pressure in those pockets? Is there an inlet in those pockets to aid in air flow to sweep? I can see if I covered the dirt with a vapor barrier and some gravel that might improve the numbers?

Two things Johnny Carson never did made him a class act and an example that I wish was being followed today. He never got involved in politics and he could tell a joke without being vulgar.

47 hour test

Did the deck ride properly on the 314? With the deck supported by scrap pieces of 4X4 on both sides are the gauge wheels and anti-scalp rollers an equal distance from the ground? My guess would be the assembly the gauge wheels are attached to is bent.

Toro WH 310-8 Battery bracket question
Kelsey replied to Cape Codder's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Plus 1 on this thread. My 4 eyes and I couldn't find the placement for battery hold down posts. I looked up the info on this thread which led me here. Good stuff. -

Class act... Nothing like it anymore -
Swapping early Sundstrand for later Sundstrand: Yes/No?
953 nut replied to BradKahler's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
There is a bit of work involved and if it was an Eaton 1100 in good condition I would say it is well worth it, a 700, not too sure. -
Happy Birthday @npjstables, we are glad you were born.

What was the tested level? The open earth areas will need to be covered so there's a barrier and air will be pulled from underneath. The best way to mitigate is to create a pressure field which has influence throughout the entire footprint area of the foundation or as much as possible. Anther option is dilution with a ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation). Best done by an HVAC expert as they know how to exchange air better than a "radon guy". This brochure gives a pretty good explanation for fan and pipe systems air radon brochures.pdf

Phan I would start by changing points condenser check to see if the plug wire is ok. Check your wiring for loose and bad grounds. Also look for bad wires with exposed bear wires that may be shorting out. And of course rebuild a carburetor and I think it’ll fire it up and if you could do it, find yourself a good electric fuel pump like this one and you’ll be well on your way to enjoying the tractor for years to come. I have this model it is my show putter. All day and you still have gas in the tank. As for the cables E-bay has them. Check for length of the old cable make it will be long enuf.

By that description, I'd say that tab Paul mentioned probably broke
