@Bill D I finally tried this set up out and I am liking it! I actually mowed in the morning with the standard pulley and belt and then changed everything over to the bagger double pulley in the center of deck and it definitely mows better/different. Like it lifts the grass more or something. I did put new blades, deck spindle belt and idler pulley and wear bar and bushings. So I'm sure that has something to do with the better cut, but i just seems better spinning faster like my dads exmark.

I have had the cheap and the expensive. I have had both fail. I have installed more of the $15 ones (4) and they been running fine. I believe price is not always a factor of quality. I like lean toward the square one....not sure why.

Cantaloupe has a strong scent and works well for pigs.

1969 I think had the front open under the headlights. 1970 and later looked like that.

I tidied some of my rubber edges up, and @Lil’ Pullstart helped me snap some lines for the e-track.

1940’s - 50’s David Bradley project
MainelyWheelhorse replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in other brands
Thanks, as far as I know it sat outside since my parents bought the house I grew up in sometime in the mid eighties. My father thinks it was there before that, so who knows how long it sat. You gotta love the old cast iron, though as the gear case and hood are in pretty good shape for sitting outside 40+ years. It’s like any project though most of the parts I need are significantly expensive for something that I haven’t figured out what to do with. Have you found any good places for tires and engines? I’m thinking about putting a HF 3hp engine and some 16-6 Amazon tires just to get it running and going then figure out what to do with it once I use it. Most of the stuff we do with our tractors I can do with this. -
I only use live traps so I can release unharmed.

Checking in, are you still here? Any progress on the RJ?

1969 Wheel Horse GT-14 Tractor - 12 HP Kohler with Mower deck
Pullstart commented on Kent S Thomas's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
The image led me to a 312-8. Just verifying you have a GT14? -
Like a live trap, or a snap your back trap? I am afraid the cats might get into a kill trap.

I use box traps to control the pigs. When my Amish neighbor bought the farm and started raising sweet corn and cantaloupes , I reduced the population by about 20 every year for three years as they were feasting on his new tender plants. His 6yo son watched me for a couple years and he now does the trapping.

Nice project. I have a couple of those sitting on my waiting list. One of these days I'll drag em out & see what I can do with em.

New-to-me Horse (and other stuff) Hauler!!
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
That's good info and I'll definitely consider it. I'll see what I can find online. This is one that I've had for probably 20 years or more. -

Not to sound too critical or to be too eager to spend your money, but I'd suggest a proportional controller over that time-based unit. Proportional controllers offer more natural and progressive braking and overall a much more pleasant driving experience with a braked trailer. They might be safer too since they can really squeeze the trailer brakes quickly and tighter in a panic stop rather than waiting for them to ramp up over time. Steve -
Gotta remove that to get to the fuel filter. Don't know the weight. somewhere around unpleasant.. Bad design. Could loop fuel line in the way outside the compartment but.. no

I'm guessing they never go bad - which may explain why he's not been able to sell it. I suppose I could get it engraved and repurpose it for my headstone.

GT-14 1969?

I'm picking up a couple of buckets full of old tractor lights off of marketplace - low and behold, the guy has this cast iron grille for sale. I'm guessing it's one heavy SOB! Can anyone tell me what years/models this was available on?

This is another project I’m working on when I’m not working on tractors. It’s a late 40’s to early 50’s David Bradley walk behind tractor. They are pretty interesting as they have a similar setup to the attach o matic. It’s set up so you can swap implements fairly quickly and easily. They usually are run by a roughly 3 horse engine usually a Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh. There were a few different models and options available. I just have to find an engine, run the cables to turn it, and disengage the clutch. Also, find 6-16 tires for the 16 inch rims that aren’t ungodly expensive. It sat at the house I grew up in for most of my childhood. I do have photo’s of my father, my brothers, and I riding on it when we were 5 and under. I’d like to get it going if I could. It shouldn’t be too hard as the drive setup is much like our tractor.

I found some black PVC 1x4 trim in town. Once I get the sheet metal up along the walls, it should finish the bottom well without concern of rot.

Shutoff at the tank, one fuel filter before pump, no check valve, booze free fuel, no additives. Never had fuel issues. It's worked for me for decades.

At Home sandblasting?
Kenneth R Cluley replied to Natejc_98's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Be sure the air is "DRY" also. Makes it a lot smoother process with no clogging up nozzle or pick up tube.
