Don't remember if I posted this before or not. It's like 3 guys playing at the same time but it's only 1.

Was towing the lawn sweeper around the yard today with my 14-8 when it reved like crazy and took off. Upon opening the hood and looking at the throttle linkage, I found that the linkage between the throttle shaft on the carb had come disconnected at the governor arm. A bit of electric fence wire held things together to get the tractor back to the shed. What kind of fastener is used on the 90 degree bend to keep it in the governor arm? Mine appears to be threaded, but images of replacement linkages show that the short end of the 90 degree end is grooved for a C clip. No big hurry here, as I won't get a chance to work on the tractor until next week. I'm thinking a nut and Loktite or drilling a hole for a cotter pin are the easiest fixes.

International Cub Cadet, they weigh in at about 25#’s each -
Dissolved is my guess. My fine grade glass blasting media arrived today, and I was able to accomplish the following.. Blast the surface corrosion on the inside surfaces of the tank - with particular attention to the flange perimeter. (Sorry I was on a roll and forgot to get photos) Install the new gasket and torque ALL of the screws to what I feel was adequate and equal tightness Line the entire inside of the tank with Red-Kote. (It's some messy stuff despite best efforts to keep it controlled) Now to let it set for a few days to thoroughly dry. I abrasive blasted a small area on the exterior of the tank that would be hidden by the hood - to see what it looks like. (the crud along the bottom is some remnants of the old sealer I haven't cleaned off yet) I'm looking at a product called Sharkhide Metal Protectant to achieve a more "vintage" appearance (as opposed to polishing). Plus, not being acrylic it can be touched up as needed.

Yeah I was thinking they look like 12" front weights off small Farmall's but was wanting to make sure. Would like to add a set on the inside rears on my C-160.

Not sure what his are ... we have a couple sets of IHC Cub Cadet weights that look like that. They fit 12" fronts on bigger tractors too. And stackable. -
Nope! The hole is plenty big, plus the weights have a notch for the valve stem. PERFECT! What brand are those weights? If it was already mentioned I missed it .

Years ago I was curious about the operation of a bulldozer. As I looked around I noticed there was only one lever and no steering wheel. Pointing to the lever I asked what is this leaver, my uncles prompt response was "Lev-Er-Alone!" What do you call a sleeping bull? "A BULL-DOZER"

Glad it was just a drill. I spent about 20 hours shuttling water from the closest hydrant three miles away to a couple tanks to cover exposures near a barn fire. Three other pumpers and a tank truck were doing the same. Barn full of hay is nearly imposable to extinguish but we saved the house and several other outbuildings as well as the livestock. Cool little rainbow there.

48" Mower deck center spindle pulley - Part No. 106073

Don't know where you're located, but I have a couple decks for parting out in the for sale section. - Rick -
If you can not sleep at night, it is usually because you are awake. I hope this helps. If I am sent to jail my wife will get me out. She never lets me finish a sentence. Doing nothing is extremely difficult, you never know when you are done. A dentist will say “You are brushing wrong.” A nutritionist will say “You are eating wrong.” Parents will say “You are living wrong.” Your bartender will say “Excellent choice sir.” There is a new movie out about a snowman who became a vampire. It is called “Frost bite”. My son asked “Why do birds fly?” I replied “Because it is faster than walking…” used to think I was indecisive but now I am not so sure.. My vacuum cleaner broke, now it just sits there collecting dust. I attempted to organize a game of “hide and seek” but good players are hard to find. You can never trust stairs because they are always up to something. I told my wife “For the past 50 years all you have done is found mistakes in every thing I say.” She replied “That is 55 years dear.”

Beautiful weather in NW Ohio encouraged me to make another fall cleaning pass, and encountered a Kohler M12S engine core I had all but forgotten that I have. So I took a photo and put it on the classifieds for the group. Reduced my asking price on 310-8 transaxle while I was at it. Gathered a couple buckets of Hickory nuts and shelled them. Rain predicted for tomorrow morning and I think I'm actually ready for it. Hey, normal clock feels great. Don't have to get up in the dark, got up with the Sun instead.

Another piece for the Fall cleaning push is a Kohler M12S long block assembly that I was holding onto for spare parts, but it's time to move on. It wasn't a Wheel Horse product, but it could be if you know what I mean. Spec number uncertain, see photo. Has 1-1/8" shaft 3-5/8" long with 1/4" keyway. Valves move and has compression. I would bet that it would run if you put a carb, coil, and spark plug on, but expect some smoke. Realistically it's probably a candidate for cleanup and re-ring. Asking $50. Pick up near Elida, Ohio. I can help load.

Well it wasn’t today, it was actually Sunday morning but I’m just getting around to posting this. We had a simple tanker/drafting drill on our FD property. I was the tanker operator, that’s me standing on the back of the tanker.

Recently picked up a 48" recycler deck (78361) and I am looking for the part that closes off the exit chute to complete the baffle and hold the clippings inside a little longer I do not know what it is called. See pics

Shear pins for 1991 Wheel Horse (Toro) 44" 2 stage snow thrower
mrc replied to AKol56's topic in Implements and Attachments
hello AKol56, i'm with ri702bill. IMO better to change shear pins or grade 2 bolts then tear apart the blower, especially during the winter. -

Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !
c-series don replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Okay, okay I know it’s not Saturday so please forgive me! Yesterday I had to move a few tractors to get my Peco vacuum trailer out, so I figured I’d take a few pictures for you boys! -
Work, PT, voting, then I came home, put the wheels back on my Explorer, and anchored my tire balancer to the floor properly and retested it for the issues I've been having. Anchoring the machine is apparently an important step.

@Sparky For those inside weights.. did you have to trim the inner diameter to get over the hubs? -
I met Jay at my first big show back in 2010, we made sure to see and talk with each other every year after. We miss you Jay
