happy 19th Anniversary Red Square
MainelyWheelhorse replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
Back in the pandemic about 2021, I was looking for projects and something to mow the small lawn I have. My brother had just bought my next door neighbors house. The neighbor’s tractor a 312-8 that he bought new in 1992 which I mow with now was sitting outside by the road for sale. The starter had begun to intermittently give up. I saw it and asked him what he wanted for it. He decided to give it to me. Then began the task of fixing it. I looked up “how to replace Wheelhorse starter” or something like that on Yahoo or Google and it brought me here. One Amazon purchase later and fixing the smaller issues, and I was mowing my lawn. That tractor has now been repainted IH red, and mechanically for the most part sound. Two more refurbished tractors, and one roller later, I’m still here a member and accumulating knowledge, parts and (ahem) tractors 😁 Happy 19th birthday Red Square!!! -
@ri702bill agree on the bearing separator type of puller especially on a cast flange , seen many fail , you have to go to the strongest connection area first . done a lot of experiments on related tractor repetitive issues . has made me immediately look for another way to get it done . another thing I regularly do is to start snoopin around , to find related / connected hang up areas . don't have any chronic areas , basically do it on one tractor , then adapt it to the other 2 . amazing to me that all these years later . they just consistently start / run / work easily , use same thought on any issue , did a lot of , call ins at work , you like coming in at 2 am ? . shift foremen sign off , pete

Kosher baby dills are my favorite. Back in school the was a little shop that used to sell pickles out of a wooden barrel, they were about 8" long and they were enough to make a lunch out them; they cost a nickel a piece.

Those are reasonable prices.

Thank you for all your work and investment to make this what it is today. This has been a great asset to me and I'm sure all the other members would say the same. We be lost without it, and I think the hobby might not be what it is without this forum. -
If you run the tractor at all at night, it's absolutely worth it to make the change over to LED. For you to run two or three wires from the battery to a switch, including a fuse. Easy peasy.

Thanks to all who have been a part of starting, maintaining and managing RedSquare. What a journey. Knowing just a little about these things really shines a light on how much work is done. An useful Idea, one that has grown into the "go to for wheel horse" Just a search and I was there.Then a join and then supporter. I often think the core is the tractor.....not really it's the members. You are RedSquare!

A post at the time, it was very frustrating period for RedSquare, this was when the site would go down for days at a time, October 31, 2011 we completed the move of all the data to here, losing no data, but all the hosted pictures and member emails and passwords (I didn’t have the time to get that) Forumer dies October 31, 2011 but RedSquare lived on! -

It’s all Bob Rock’s @whlpny fault. I needed a new lawn mower and was kicking around the idea of something new and modern, but saw this really awesome looking old lawn mower. Yeah, I had wool over my eyes too. When I got there, I was a little upset that the mower deck was gone, the whole reason I went looking to grab it! He had the deck on the scrap pile, nobody wants those for a garden tractor. Tractor? This cute little thing can’t do tractor stuff! He told me about the wealth of knowledge of this forum, and when I got home I joined. That was June of 2013, if I recall correctly. Honestly, reading Karl’s story about the almost crash in 2011, blows me away that the place is still kind of young. The shirt I’m wearing this morning is older than Red Square! My cute little mower: -
Wheel horse d200 steering box spline
pfrederi replied to Guitarmandave's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
D 200 uses a Ross steering gear system. Also used by other tractors. You can find kits for John Deere's (110s 317s) that rebuild the Ross Units. -
Like @Achto always says the stock lights are akin to holding a candle in front of you.

Back when I had one I winterized my travel trailer by taking it to Florida for the winter.

Looking for parts for a 1067 that was already on a scrap pile. Wandered across a site called Red Square and wondered what the heck does a place in Russia have to do with a lawn mower. Accidentally clicked and the rest they say is history. Wow they actually have a manual for it. Now i have to put up with the likes of Achto and The Pullstart and a whole host of other ! fellas! -
After a life changing event in 2006 I needed strength to move on and my first time on a computer stumbled upon Red Square. At that time there was around 30 members if I recall. Lurked until June of 2012 and decided to sign up. Enjoyed it so much after a few years became a lifetime supporter. Best money ever spent and got my life under control. Thanks Karl and Mike. Much appreciated.

I was doing a case study on addiction and this site kept turning up in my search results.
