I found that the mold seams or colored lines run true when spun so I could use those for measuring. May not happen in all cases, but it worked for me with Kenda tires. I have turn tables for easy movement and a spreader bar to take out any slack in the spindles. I do my own wheel alignments on cars if they will accept my ancient Alemite equipment.

Interesting…they just scrambled up the letters in KOHLER and settled on REHLKO?

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CD Long Jr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
8 inch carriage bolts were perfect for my 55 lb Sears weights. Now to find round Wheel Horse decals. -
Glad to see that I am not the only one with a horse of a different color in my herd.

This is great, thank you! I assume you cut and threaded the rods to fit? BUT, you should be ashamed, you pushed the 312-8 back for awhile. I was about to order parts.

@CD Long Jr as I gained on function , kept enhancing fit , the squeeze lever , was originally sloppy , had some no movement " play " in it , tightened up the wire hole curve points , small channel locks , also lubed as i went , just that play elimination ,INCREASED the pull on the swing quadrant slide pin spring , mine sounds like a rifle bolt , went after every/ movement spot / enhanced it , there is no / zero play in the squeeze lever start point . when you come right down to it , the spring on the quadrant slide pin , runs the entire unit , combine that with aerosol red spray grease , it cooks . the instant you start to squeeze the swing lever , the slightest pull / push on the handle , swings the plow . adding 1/2" threaded rod to heim joints , also eliminated the sloppy open hole set up , this set up has been bomb proof for years ,also have a graphite finish on blade face , snow slide off is effortless . like a roller stool on build up , 2 milk crates , 1 rear cross bar , 1 front just before quadrant area , that will let you VERIFY WHAT YOU ARE DOING , tightened up squeeze lever rod round connection points , zero play , just function , what you build , set up , will be exactly the same on the tractor , that was the milk crate idea . took same basic thought for other repetitive issues . break it down , and kill it , paint it red / black , you would never know , like pulley bearings / frayed belts . pete

Mounted up these cast weights I bought last year. Seemed heavier than all my usual 50 pounders, turns out they’re 70 pounds apiece! Came with hardware that’ll need an inch or so cut off. -
I oil the pre filter. Usually clean it once a year with dish soap. Machine doesn’t do much mowing anymore, so very little dust. My zero turn with the Chinese Toro/Loncin engine has a pre filter that isn’t supposed to be oiled.

416 Anniversary complete except for final setup of carb and hydro, and hood which will be completed next summer. Wife took this picture. She laughed at me taking my shoes off to sit on the tractor.

Yep, This is why I sat on my hands (until now) once @lynnmor replied . I could see myself going down the rabbit hole and so I pulled back. I once visited the island of Capri--an extremely pricey place to visit and famous for producing Lemoncello from its abundant lemon trees. A saying goes, “The only thing that is free on Capri is the smell of the lemon blossoms."

Hoya lifts are awesome. I got one from a lady in the neighborhood that was for her son but they never used it. Works great. Sad part is they have thrown out about a dozen of them here at the hospital. Mostly electric, some manual lift. Breaks my heart 😢

Tie rod lock nuts installed on both ends and tie rod jamb juts firmly tightened. Front end complete.

I shouldn't say anything since I'm an original freak but I'll second the cub muff. Very mello and has a pleasing chug chug sound. Naw most guys just cut them off. It's pretty light & doesn't need any additional support. Cut the outlet off square and you can add a tink tink. Bad part for Wrencher Is he would almost have to take the original off to the block & we know that getting the nipple out of the block can be a rite of passage. I have one of those NOS gravely types if your interested Wrencher.

Those Gravely mufflers aren't what they used to be. They used to be very heavy and quiet. Now they are just tin cans.

Getting ready to do front end alignment. I have two straight edges that are 4' long and some pieces of Teflon. Disregard the yard sticks as they were not used. Tires all set at 12 PSI and front wheels sitting on Teflon for east of movement. Straight edges sat on jack stands half way up front wheels. Steering wheel was set straight. Tape measures laid on top of straight edges with the hook end clamped on holding them tight to the edge just to hold them in place so they don't move. We have 1/4"" toe in but the manual calls for 1/8". Also the straight edge is even with the outside of the Left rear tire and is out slightly from the Right rear tire. I therefor shortened the Right side tie rod by one turn and bolted it back on tight. Alignment complete straight edge is in line with outer edge of rear tire on both sides. Alignment complete and we now have 1/8" toe in. With 1/8" toe in and straight edge aligned evenly to both rear tires means the steering wheel should sit straight while driving and the steering should have at least a little return to center.

Is it only attached using that clamp? Or were you able to use that bracket I see on it for added support?

Not pretty, but this is what I have had on my 314 for the past few years. Its cheap off the jungle site, works/sounds fine

I do believe it was Don. If Casual Jason was still around he could shed more light on it. He knew everything about it that's why I gave it to him. I don't think it would make good wall art Big Unit ... heavier than sin and took up a lot of real estate. Made of real steel like our tractors. I tried using it once but the drive that sits on the back wheel which was kinda knurled for traction and worn down and didn't turn the brush right. The bag which was made of a light canvas was pretty dry rotted & ripped up too. Like I said as elusive as a PTO-66. I researched it a bit and never saw it in any of the old attachment literature. Here is a interesting piece of '67 lit and it lists a leaf sweeper but not the same one. 1967 Full Line (1).pdf @Lane Ranger anything to add?

1973 10hp 8spd Revival/Budget Resto
Racinbob replied to Chris689's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
That's a factory setup. Shortly after that they added another retaining ring and eliminated the spring and a couple other parts. I don't know exactly when. I think they eliminated all 5 of those parts on the end of the crankshaft (103, 104x2, 106 & 107) -
@CD Long Jr this plow hardware referral is a base line for any plow set up , literally transforms , total function , basically insuring solid / smooth movement . did at each stage , been in use for years , sorry about any mix up I might have caused . typically doing a test function , run , thats where you find the problems , like a roller stool , so I can scoot around , and try , test try . do a lot of that , start out with a train wreck , end up with a vault door , solid . smooth . easy . looking at your set up is exactly what I started with , also added threaded push / pull rods , heim joints , move assurance is guaranteed. help you if I can , pete

Yep, I had picked up a rusted short frame for scrap price. The pin and sector was permanently rust welded. For a year I soaked it, beat on it, and used BF pipe wrenches but could not get the bolt or pin to move. Finally I used it to mount my front tiller. No need for it to turn for the tiller.

At least its better than the green stuff
