The point about the F plate trapping water is worth heeding, since that corrosion tends to come back if the welds aren't dressed properly. Grinding the face flat before priming makes sense for the Unidrive support to sit right. On the patina side, an oiled finish does suit the era better than fresh paint, though I'd be cautious about how much soak any bare steel gets before assembly. The roller stool idea is practical too, letting you test fit and check clearances without straining. Nice to see this moving forward.

Betcha y’all didn’t know 300

I briefly met Rod one year at our FD carnival. I run our dunking booth, so when he walked up to throw a few balls I jokingly asked him if he wanted to get in the booth and get dunked?!!! He politely declined, he threw a few balls, we shook hands and he went on his way! If I remember correctly, he is pictured in one of the Straight From The Horses Mouth books on a mid sixties Wheel Horse. When I have time, I’ll find the picture. Of course by then someone else will probably post it!!! -
FWIW, my advice is to leave the “free" money in the Trump account and start child- or parent-owned 529s for any additional contributions.

2026 Deer and Fish Tales
SylvanLakeWH replied to Ed Kennell's topic in non tractor related discussion
First morning with new crossbow... sighted in great. Very pleased with its performance. Beautiful day! No deer yet... -
Well - so far, so good. One item - the lower portion of the "F" plate with the booger-snot welds holding the patch in place. All that must be ground smooth to get the proper fit and support of the Unidrive. Thet area always traps water & rusts. Fix the welds, grind or wire wheel the whole face of the plate, prime & paint. It will last another 50 years...

Fixed throttle lever loose: Wheel Horse 414–8
953 nut replied to bradleydavidgood's topic in Engines
I have tightened up a couple of these by laying them on the work bench, placing the rounded end of a ballpeen hammer in the indented area, and smacking the ballpeen with another hammer peening the pivot point. Always start with a hammer, if that doesn't work get a bigger hammer. -
Six doe this morning. Short sit ...taking Mrs. K to knee therapy at 10.

Wheelhorse 312 8 transaxle bracket cracked
953 nut replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Most sub-frames for loaders are measured for the factory frame dimensions so the inside plate is the way to go. The subframe should attach to the frame near the front as well as the rear axle. Mine has two pieces, one connects to the front of the frame behind the front axle and rear axle and the other half is bolted to the front of the frame. The "F Plate" on the GT-14 is unlike those on most other Wheel Horses -
Thanks for that info. After the wood is done, I'll get back into it.

@Retired Wrencher like the , opportunities of a bare frame ? lets you enhance things as you go ? the inner upper frame corner , easily holds a steel brake line 1/4 or 5/16 , ELIMANATING THAT FUEL HOSE BREAK DOWN ? ALSO THE PTO LEVER SET UP ? loaded with easy , improvements . like a roller stool ride around , so its a comfortable , look / see trial , done a lot of that , when you paint an improvement RED / BLACK , it disappears . only a suggestion . patana oiled finish , would be easy , and era correct . mule drive set up , gold mine for functional detailing , tried marvel mystery oil , on a paint soak , for days , perfect patina , enjoy it . pete

Have you given A-Z Tractor a call? https://a-ztractor.com/ -
At the time the Erie was being dug my home town of Kirkville, NY was one of the larger rest points along "Clinton's Ditch". There was a lake known as the Wide Waters where rafts could spend the night, a few stores, and a couple of rooming houses. With the advent of the Rail Road Kirkville became a sleepy little hamlet and one by one the rooming houses and stores closed up shop and became crumbling memories of better times. The portion of the canal known as the Wide Waters is now a park and is a good spot for canoers to enjoy a picnic.

Thanks for inviting us along for the ride.

I took my time when I picked this up in the middle of the summer. It’s going to be my winter project so I decided to tear it down to the frame and clean it. Also go through one part at a time on assembly.. It’s never gonna be a pretty tractor.Or a show peace but it will be something you can use at the shows or just riding around the house. I’ve always wanted this model but I never could pull the trigger on one.I hope you enjoy the pics.

Wheelhorse 312 8 transaxle bracket cracked
ri702bill replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Adding a loader takes you into uncharted waters, so to speak, when it comes to the design of the OE frame. You are adding weight and localized stress that were most likely not accoumted for. Take your time - fix it once, fix it right... My -
Here I am selling a GT-14 and 18 auto. The GT-14 has been recently restored and is in great working shape. 3pt works and it fires up everytime. It comes with a top link and no attachments. The 18 Auto is in its works clothes, but in very nice shape. All metal is straight and is a very good worker. Newer Carlisle 26x12-12 ag tires on the black. This tractor is ready to be put to work also. I comes with a top link as shown in pictures, and could come with a front push blade for $1400 total. WILL TRADE FOR REASONABLE C-160 8 SPEEDS ON BOTH. DELIVERY IS AVAILABLE FOR AN EXTRA CHARGE

My son is almost definitely going into the trades. He might need a semester or two at a community college to finish up some certificates, but he wants to go to Vo-Tech when he gets into high school. The one CC in our area that offers those programs, by then I should be able to pay his tuition out of pocket. It is less certain what my daughter is likely to do, but she's only 10. We have time. In the mean time I am putting money that my dad wants to see in a 529 into their Trump accounts because it's far more flexible in how it can be used once it comes available.
