Regarding side load, what tractor would you stick this on? Square hoods and round hoods with the small drive pulley didn’t have a side load PTO.

I hadn't either but just took a chance on them and have been very satisfied with them. They are a 10-ply tire and very tough, almost a must to take them and have them mounted at the tire shop . I let a lot of air out of them since pic was taken and they did flatten out a little across tread but not much. they had 65psi in them (what tire shop had put in), which is what they called for on sidewall, I got 8psi in them now . -
Would anyone have any of the tension springs and plates for an 875?

For a working tractor a full length correct size shaft or pulley id is the way to go. For a show and neighborhood cruiser that's never going to see an implement you would be fine using a sleeve on a slightly short shaft.

Finally got around to taking a few pictures of this little beauty that I picked up from @Dan 312-8 back in June. -
Over the past few days I cleaned out my garage and painted the floor. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and with no rain in forecast I figured now was the time. It looked like I was having a yard sale in my driveway! I also took this opportunity to throw some stuff out that I haven’t used in years. Next I will clean off the work benches and paint those as well. I just wanted to get the floor done while it was warm out.

We spent the afternoon butchering and processing the boy's deer from last week. It actually goes pretty quick with all four of us working. 17 lbs of burgers, a few roasts and steaks for our freezer, and I took a pack of shoulder steaks over to our neighbors. They have kind of a tough lot in life, and I like to do stuff like that for them when I can.

So what if the new crankshaft is To short to put the same location and amount or style of pulley was on with the orignal engine .. wouldn’t only choice then be to Use crankshaft adapter?

Any ALKILINE product like TSP should be avoided, the PH is very high and will eat aluminum if it was left in long enough to do any work. Just Google the product name and ask for the PH. The pH level of purple-colored industrial cleaners and degreasers typically ranges from 11 to 13, making them strongly alkaline. A 1% aqueous solution of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) has a pH of approximately 11.5 to 12, making it a strongly alkaline (basic) substance. The pH of standard Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner is 8.5 to 9.5 (or 9.0 ± 0.5), which makes it mildly basic or alkaline. Chemical Safety: Non-chlorinated brake cleaners (such as Permatex Non-Chlorinated Brake Cleaner or Berryman Brake Cleaner) use fast-evaporating petroleum solvents like acetone, heptane, or hexane. These do not react aggressively with bare aluminum the way strong acids or heavy alkalines can.

IMHO - using an adapter at all is not the better choice. Better to find the correct ID pulley to mate to the shaft. The further outboard the pulley centerline is, it puts more of a "moment" on the shaft and bearing. That means it acts like a lever

I use it in a closed container

Same here. I've only ever seen it in 90 plus.

in well-ventilated locations with no possible combustion sources. for sure!

I've used Berryman's and Gunk brand gallon can soaking kits. The modern fluids we get as cleaning chemicals are far inferior to the ones available 30 or 40 years ago. I found that both were usable but both alao required a serious hand scrubbing and 2 or more full cans of brake clean to sprayed through every orifice in both directions. The ultrasonic cleaner is better. It does more of the work for you, yes.. but it still requires the brake clean sprayed through, just less of it. At the recommendation of @formariz and others I started using lacquer thinner for the fluid several years ago.

I believe that tires, like MANY other things, are being produced by BAJILLIONS of names nowadays. Some are legitimate lower priced examples of the original name brands. Many unfortunately are unauthorized copies. -

ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Absolutely agreed and I thought through this one. With the increasing forays into heavier machine repair (like my truck or the backhoe or splitter) and the occasional need I've already had in the past for a stronger impact tool, this makes sense for us at this point in time. -
The drama continues.....lol I ended up breaking the original linkage at the z bend. Been trying to source a wire 1/16" diameter that will hold the bends and yet it shapeable. And I don't want to buy a hundred foot spool to get 8" of wire! I've been to home improvement stores as well as hardware stores. I even tried robbing linkage off C-175, but it's not same length.....grrrrrrrrr

Not wanting to be a wet blanket and seem like I’m discouraging tool acquisitions, but sometimes a rental tool makes sense when there is low likelihood of future use. -

Yes indeed.....and add battery..... It looks like it's done. -
Ah ok.. so regarding doing a WH repower engine or a pulley swap for crankshaft .. if The need to use a Crankshaft sleeve for example.. 3/4 to 1 Inch.. if the engine crankshaft is 2 1/2 inch just for example and the sleeve is say 3 inches.. can you put pulleys on the part of sleeve that sticks pass the 2 1/2 inches of the crankshaft engine piece or would that not be able to hold the pulleys due to just the sleeve and not the secure engine mounted crankshaft piece? If makes sense. picture: E= engine Shaded part- engine crankshaft. Unshaded Box around engine crankshaft- Crankshaft sleeve adapter acceptable and safe to use pulley on crankshaft sleeve that protrudes beyond the shorter or narrower engine mounted crankshaft ?

I kept thinking that same thing.....lol -
Yes. The other difference is that the T series MAY have a smaller and shorter output shaft size than the WH spec ones...
