WH people in or near Indiana - offloading a large part of my collection
davem1111 replied to davem1111's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yep, Richard has an idea, because I asked him some questions about Franklin NC. In general we're looking at the Smoky Mountains area, something with a quaint small downtown in walkable or quick drive distance. We're tired of being isolated out here. So, Franklin is pretty high on the list, possibly #1. We're actually watching the home listings on Zillow pretty closely and have seen at least one we'd buy right now if we had a buyer for our place. But next spring is the target. Yeah Bill D, I would be happy if I could get that 416-H into your hands - you helped me out with some parts a while back. I'll be repainting that one hood pretty soon. - Today

Or build a "Sulky Train"!

I worked on a pool house with my dad years ago. It sat on piers, so it was open underneath with lattice around the bottom. Anyway, the floor was rotten, so we were replacing subfloor. I swear the vinyl sheet flooring was keeping it together. Under the vinyl was lauan plywood, under that was flake board subfloor, under that was a layer of clear poly with the fiberglass insulation below, between the joists. Then another layer of lauan on the bottom of the joists, that held and protected the insulation. Well it was winter and we started ripping into it. The flake board came out in chunks (and this building was only maybe 25 years old at that time). Under the subfloor, on top of the poly, was ice. Like 2”+ of ice. Building was never flooded, never had a roof leak, nothing. It wasn’t even heated during the winter. Owners shut the house down every year and went to Florida for the winter. Too many layers in that floor that trapped moisture. that guy had a really rare 80’s Cadillac Fleetwood WAGON! Looked like a hearse, but not as high. Never seen one like it since. He said it came from the factory like that. He must have known someone at Cadillac to get that.

If you find another one for decent price could you pass it along to someone in need for some money?

I'm just a few hours North. Not a bad drive. We visit our twin granddaughters at IU on occasion. I look forward to seeing more details. -
Would there happen to be any carbs in that pile?

Bring me back some goodies -
Guy goes to the doctor "Doc, you gotta help me! For days, I can't get this song out of my head!" "I see, and what song is it that you can't get out of your head?" "What's New Pussycat! It's driving me crazy!" "Aaah, it sounds to me like you have a severe case of TJS." "TJS? What is TJS?" "Tom Jones Syndrome" "I've never heard of Tom Jones Syndrome. Is it rare?" "It's Not Unusual"

No deck with yours either for that price?

Somehow, I've become the owner of a second Toro Sulky. And they say your phones don't spy on you!
-
Oh ok. Had thought maybe it looked similar to the Pullstart flywheel piece
-
I’ve done several with sockets. An Arbor press could be great but most of us don’t have one.
-
That looks like the stator sitting inside a flywheel
-
Stator. Used for charging the battery

What do I have

I may put it up here for sale. Not sure I want to keep her outside all winter. But would make a good trailer puller. -

1978 C-141 Automatic Frankenstein
MainelyWheelhorse replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
So after a bit of a hiatus, I got the hydraulics from @ebinmaine for the C-141. After getting the belcrank out of the 520 center section, I cleaned it up, and installed it in the C-141. I then cleaned up the valve block, and after building a plate to mount it I semi temporarily installed it. It was a bit of a PITA to put in. While I was working on the valve bock and bell crank. I painted the hydraulic ram and installed it after the paint dried. The only thing left is to install the hard lines if possible, with some adapters. Or and the more likely route, some rubber lines to be able to snake the connections around the C-141’s slightly different mounting locations. And that’s where I am now. -
Great information. Got a slide hammer set, C Clamps, bearing drivers also. But looking at those bearings, I started re-thinking the driving them in with a socket. I suppose you would have to be careful. All good information. Nice to hear from some who have done this before. Thinking an arbor press might also be a great addition to the shop. Never felt I could justify the room needed for a hydraulic press. Would love to have a sandblasting cabinet and press, but it would take up a lot of room. Thanks, Dave

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
MainelyWheelhorse replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Between today, and yesterday this mowing machine mowed, The fire station, my parent’s lawn, and my lawn. I did have to change decks from the 42” to the 37” due to the belt somehow jumping off and losing rigidity on the 42” RD. My lawn and the fire station are smaller sized manageable lawns. but my parents takes a solid 2 hrs. But, I got significant seat time so that’s a plus.
