Many years ago I was looking for a cab for my 520H w/tall chute blower. Browsing thru barns at the big show, I saw one piled in a corner. I asked a young guy how much? He said he would check with his brother, and I should stop back in an hour. I bought the cab, installed it on the 520 and several years later I had it displayed at the Fawn Grove Olde Tyme Days show. A tall lanky bearded guy walked up and asked me where I got the cab. It was Jay's cab and the guy I bought it from was Jay's brother Guy Meyers. That was the first of many hours and days spent with Jay and Guy at Fawn Grove, Dover, and the Arendtsville shows. Then after Jays passing, with Guys help found homes for Jays great collection of tractors and parts. Your cab is still keeping me warm Jay. Thank you for the cab and your friendship. -
I just received notice that my glass bead blasting media is ready for pickup, so no actual assembly yet. In checking it, it seems to thread in okay, but I've not applied much torque to it. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I mess with it further. I'm leaning towards stopping at "snug to the gasket" and counting on the other screws, along with the Red-Kote to hold a seal. I'm sure I revisit that theory a few more times before I attempt to seal it. As I mentioned earlier, none of the screws were tight and the gasket was not compressed at all. I think if whoever sealed it last time would have use a proper sealer, it would not have leaked. I don't think the sealer they used was fuel resistant because it would come off on a rag whenever I would wipe drips from the outside of the tank - and it was non-existent on the inside lip of the gasket.

Could you post a picture of the older steering wheel you used to narrow it down? Would make this a handy reference for the next person trying to identify one with a missing tag.
-
Did you find out whether that repaired screw hole will hold properly when the tank goes back together? That would be the bit Id want sorted before spending time on the coating and clearcoat. Interested to see how it turns out.

Today after school and work I am planning on finding somewhere I can tear the tractor apart to check if the F plate is square to the rest of the frame and go from there. -

Could the bushings in the cam control be wore enough to let move to the rear and rub the tension screw? just spit balling here. -

Sparky-(Admin) replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
Yep, you got that right! He walked right up to me (a total stranger mind you) at the Wheel Horse Show years ago and said “Are you Sparky on RS?”…and then we talked for awhile like old friends catching up. We met up and chatted every year at the show like old friends. I’ll never forget him. -
Camper cover building construction thread
davem1111 replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Ah, I did miss that. I did see those pictures but didn't read all the text in between. So you're fully enclosing it, right? Sides and ends? Personally I've always thought it was silly when I see people using these with just the roof on it. True, better than nothing, but maybe they haven't noticed all the bad weather that comes in sideways, or that the sun isn't always shining straight down? -

Shear pins for 1991 Wheel Horse (Toro) 44" 2 stage snow thrower
ri702bill replied to AKol56's topic in Implements and Attachments
Download the manual for it - look to see if the OE pins have the undercuts. Years ago, my son worked at a local Ma & Pa Hardware Store. A customer came in looking to replace all the shearbolts on his Ariens walk behind SnoThro with Grade 8 bolts & nuts, as he was tired of replacing them. The Customer left with them, after my son warned him about their designed-in function... After the next storm, the same Customer returned - quite upset - because the bolts held and the gearbox internals were now trash. The Store owner reviewed the prior sale, complete with the warning, and told him he got exactly what he specified and paid for..... "Darwin Award Trophy Bolts". -
We miss you Jay, for those who didn't know him let me just say that @roadapples was one of the easiest people to get to know and hardest to forget.

Shear pins for 1991 Wheel Horse (Toro) 44" 2 stage snow thrower
ri702bill replied to AKol56's topic in Implements and Attachments
Welcome! The belt drive acts like a slip clutch too if you encounter a chunk of ice while in use. If the OE bolts have undercuts on the diameter - at the proper locations - then they are designed to protect the gearbox components by breaking at the undercuts. Those features need to be in the auger portion, not the shaft. Pull one and verify.....
