What's in His Mirror ???
Pullstart replied to stevebo-(Moderator)'s topic in non tractor related discussion
This 1054 hasn’t been mine for more than a year, almost 2 I think. Today it went home. I added in the trailer because I was a bit heavy. The 54” plow I traded him for some other stuff and the walk behind snowblower was a freebie to me and on to him. -
I am very sure they all do 1968-72 There were hydro gear in the no names but I am not sure what differential they had.
-
Today I finally made a hold down for the battery. It’s a little overkill as I used 3/8 threaded rod and thicker steel for the bracket side, but it’ll do the job. Battery doesn’t bounce around anymore.
-
Those throttle setups are tricky little devils! It takes a lot of messing with them to fully see the way they are supposed to work. Even the early Kohler motor books do not give the most detailed explanations! good job Bob !
-
Can someone tell me the size of the opening on the hood to accommodate the steering wheel column on an RJ 59. It’s an oval shape so just length and width is good. I don’t have a factory hood to compare it to. P.O. Took a saw to mine and I want to get it back to original .

does that charger electro hydro gear have a 10 pinion?
- Today
-
The mounting holes from frame to transaxle are all the same. What I am not sure about is if his Wheelamatic pump (essentially a hydro gear pump) would fit on a later piston to piston hydro transaxle as the left side case numbers are different. Still think best bet is to get a transaxle from a Charger electro hydro gear
-
Indeed. Tangents aside, congratulations!
-
Well, before you posted that I was thinking of replying to @953 nut‘s post with some words from The Maestro himself, Alan Greasepan, in testimony to Congress about meeting those obligations, but will refrain from doing so in light of this celebratory occasion that you should be enjoying . Instead, I’ll just say: “Congratulations!!!” Posting a video of that old coot here would be like dropping a deuce in the Wheelhorse whiskey punch bowl.
-
Possibly. I don’t claim to know for sure.
-
@953 nut, Richard, just thinking, if @kb65's trans has the bevel gear differential...wouldn't his transmission case have the same mounting hole pattern as the manual heavy duty transmission for the 953 ??? In other words...an 8 or 10 pinion case would not just bolt on to his horse without modifacation ??

Spent 41 years planning for a living... did pretty well... including for my and my wife's financial well being in retirement... we're good. I would like to just enjoy sipping my Wheel Horse bourbon whilst wearing my new Wheel Horse shirt on a nice Sunday afternoon... the first one as a retiree... Talk of the SS trust fund makes me feel like I spilled my drink... Of course i didn't, so no worries...
-
Would it then follow that the “Ulimate Promotion” would be a very, very long nap?
-
If the Social Security being paid into the trust fund had been invested in long term assets like 30 year us savings bonds rather than "Special US Treasury Securities" (which pay no interest) there wouldn't be a problem. From 1969 to 1990 Congress "BOROWDED" trust fund money at no interest to fund operations while US Saving Bonds were paying from 5.00% to 7.5% According to Google AI, Special U.S. Treasury securities (or special-issue securities) are non-marketable debt obligations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury exclusively to federal government accounts and trust funds, such as the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. They cannot be bought, sold, or traded by individual investors or in public financial markets.

This may or may not be true, AT THIS TIME, however SS is a pyramid scheme and it is currently undergoing a population inversion for the first time in it's existence. I would rather plan around it not being there, and be wrong about that than the other way around.
-
I figured it out. My points had somehow fallen out of spec. Cleaned them, readjusted, she just fired up strong. And as I closed the hood, just when I thought I'd mow again here comes the thunderstorm 😂😭 Thanks again all, this forum is such a gem of knowledge
-
Diesel's all cleaned, buffed and polished, at least on this one side. Other side's gonna be a nightmare to because everything blocks access...
-
Thats a scare tactic telling people about uncertainty of the future of social security. That way if theres low cola raises or a reduction or any other B.S. excuse people are still accepting because they been scared its gonna be gone- something is better than nothing is what most will accept. Social security intake funds itself daily significantly (I forget the percentage now) more then it pays out. Still.....invest & save though.

Just a SS reminder. Surviving spouses and ex spouses receive the higher amount of the two.

845, my 1045 look a like project

Noticed on that pull when it fired you had a little grin showing... And we ALL know that feeling! Well done! -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Tire/wheel swaps on the 520 today…B-80 used to haul it all away. -
So long as the choke and throttle shaft tabs are the same it's a direct swap. I've swapped the shafts before just to make them an easy changeover.
-
My existing financial plans, and retirement contributions assume that SS will not be around. I have that category set to 0 in my existing plan, I am tracking at 96% of my goal, figuring current expenses, which at time of retirement should be less the +$2000 a month we lay out for the mortgage.
-
The future of Social Security has uncertainty. Plan accordingly.

That "we can get by on less" plan could bite you in the butt when social security time rolls around. Your 35 highest income years will be used to calculate your SS income when you retire. If you are only planning to work part time for the last 8 years you will be missing out on those highest pay years and greatly reduce the amount of income you will get. Also, remember that Medicare is deducted from your SS, doesn't matter how little you are making, they will deduct it up front. My wife and I both were able to retire at 60 but we were debt free, had employer paid health insurance to age 65 and had stashed away enough money to cover more than five years expenses factoring in an average of 3% inflation. There is a big difference between what we want to do and what we can afford to do. Get with a financial planner and start investing all you can in the stock market. Don't just go with the minimum 401K contribution and think it will be enough, buy in personnel brokerage accounts too, you will need it.
