Hate to interrupt this beautiful thread here Cleat but do you have info or pics of how that cam plate is assembled on the hydro? Specifically the tension & friction washers the IPL calls out for? Items 9 & 10. They are missing from the one I am working on. My current plan is to use sandwiched nylon washers and appropriate standard washers.

@CD Long Jr nice job on that , personally , get some RISLONE ZDDP SUPPLEMANT , I use 4 oz , bottle specs , for 2qts of oil , that will make quick work out of those varnished piston rings , engine heat , will really help clean up whats there , would also use a 10-30 oil , for easier / quicker turnover start up, that oil transition , will give you a solid baseline , for easy running and cleanup , none of my engines , smoke in any way , been using this set up for years , good going , pete

My brother had all of the Aurora Monster models. The Creature, Dracula, Frankie the whole bunch. He painted them all up and had red paint dripping out of their mouths and hands as blood. He glued silver glitter in their eyes. I hated those things. When he graduated from HS he gave them all to me. The day after he left for college there were some unexplained explosions and plastic bits in the back yard.

Seat adapter plates that I made up in order to use the seat that I bought. Here are the plans for the seat adapter plates. seat adaptor plate.pdf Seat, adapter plates, and seat springs ready to assemble. Seat adapter plates and seat springs ready to assemble. Seat bottom showing many mounting points. None the exactly correct 7-1/2" x 8" Closest available is 7-1/2" x 7" Springs have 8 inch bolt spacing. Seat adapter plates loosely installed with upper bolts temporarily installed for alignment. Seat adapter plate flat head screws torqued to 120 in/lb then alignment bolts removed. Torque wrench used to torque flat head screws. With the seat adapter plates we now have the proper 7-1/2" wide by 8" deep mounting points required.

OK.. Might have been regional or we just had a lot of D-160 or something.. I just remember shifting a lot of Onan engines when working on D series , typically when servicing the Sundstrand hydro pumps - usually having to replace the spline drive that bolted to flywheel , or the pump input shaft , or the control linkages or lines to and from the pump.. Mainly remember those just because it was one of the most frustrating work orders I had to deal with when working WHeel Horse (the kind that makes one cuss up a storm the whole time...)

Bet I've got a set of chains you can have for shipping. They ain't much but but if you can't afford Ed Dog's. Bet the ranch others here have them they don't need. Chains are a regular in everyone's snow horse diet here. -
Well that might rule out the outage theory. Maybe somethin goin on with his missus? Its just not like him to go three days without reporting in. I got his business card here somewhere & pretty sure it has his phone # on it. Might be the same # Coach has? I don't know if he texts or not last I knew he had a flip phone with a rotary dial on it. Anybody think we should call Johnny Law and have them do a wellness check?

I used to put together alot of models.. When on road trips my grandmother would buy me a snap together model to keep me occupied in the back of their station wagon. At one point I ended up with a couple monster truck models. With monster trucks comes crushed cars. Soooo some of my less favorite or broken models were heated with a lamp and smooshed lol.

Or a simple plastic slide-a-boggan... that's what I use for deer. Works great on snow, grass or dirt...

Like stated above, tire chains are a key item for snow removal. If you don't have pavement that you are worried about, then go with regular chains not the rubber chains. You will be much happier. I'm running chains on my snow pusher with out added weight. Very seldom do I have an issue with traction. -

Here's one place. SoftClaw Rubber Tire Chains - Traction without damaging your surfaces I have them on both my blade tractor and the blower tractor. I love them and find that in most cases are as good as steel. Some cases a bit better. I also need them because of an asphalt drive. I do quite a bit of dirt work in the summer. They are excellent for that too. With that being said, would I choose rubber if I didn't have the asphalt drive? No. If for no other reason the cost. -
Build them and then after a year blow em up with a M-80!

Those tires are pretty much wore out tread wise. Get chains. -
I loved models as a kid. I NEVER made them pretty. I am not good at that. I would put tiny electric motors in them and make my uncontrolled model T crash for example. I will be watching!

Racinbob replied to horseman with no horse's topic in Implements and Attachments
You've got enough weight. You need chains. Often you can lower the blower to the ground/pavement and blow your way through. You need chains. That takes the weight off the front and effectively adds to the rear. Did I mention you need chains? -
If you follow the dreaded snow thread. He reported no precipitation I had a half inch of ice and a four day weekend... WITH power. Raleigh proper where I work had plow able snow. \ Odd for the urban heat island.This weekend looks to be much of the same. Pray it is rolling blackouts. This state is not equipped to deal with, well much of anything. Best wishes either way!

You actually can. Click on the "insert other media" at the bottom right, and then select "insert existing attachment" and that should popup all the photo's you already uploaded to post to the forum. -
What have I done to my Wheel Horse today?
JoeM replied to CD Long Jr's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
A little tough to see, but I took an old shift knob and shaft cut it and welded a clamp on it for the neighbors machine. this bracket bolted up to the plow attachment Ended up with a frame that he puts buckets of sand on for weight and traction. he is really into it! -
Get yourself a good little trailer with fat ATV tires and a flat bed. You can haul 3 deer per trip!

You can buy a cheap heat gun at Harbor Freight for $20. My first one lasted several years. It will burn skin off a pig at 5 feet...

You can mount the chains with the wheels on or off the tractor. Either way, I’d suggest deflating the tires, fitting the chains so they are even in every way and connecting the inside connector first then the outside. You may want to do this more than once to get them good and snug and evenly spaced. Then reinflate. The chains should be held in place without “snubbers” with this method. Btw, 2 link chains are better than 4 link but any chains are going to be a big improvement. good luck. PS. It’s not the Wheel Horse or the blower. It’s just lack of traction. I’ve got a 312-8 with a blower running 23 - 8.5x 12 with 2 link chains and I walk through 12” of snow on grass ( with the skids down) or on the pavement (skids up) no problem. Usually in low range 3rd gear or 1st gear hi. You may need to move your battery tray set up. -
Dial a Height on a 702 ??
kpinnc replied to Moparfanforever's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
At least with the dial a height the 3rd hole would be covered up. I would add one for sure. -

There should be a rubber sleeve on the lever but it is missing on most tractors.
