    Snow blade angle

    Yup. The closer to vertical the cutting edge is, the less aggressive it gets. Won't dig in at all if it is leaning forward.

    I thunked it's dead

    I had a couple other options to start it so it wouldn't have been a disaster.
  4. Can anyone advise if a transmission from a 657 would be a direct bolt in swap for my 4 speed in my b80? There is a parts 657 tractor being sold locally for cheap on MP. Before i make an offer and drag this home i figure ill ask the experts. The brief AI research of course gave me conflicting answers. Reason for swap is last snow we got i cracked the hub. Upon further inspection the woodruff keyway was wallowed out causing damage to axle. I might eventually repair the transmission but its very low on the things to do list. The B80 is a 3rd string backup to my 312-8 & 308-8. If it does, great ill make an offer, if not ill wait for something local to pop up. I dont mind some fabrication but didn't feel like getting involved in hub removal right now, done it a few times, always an unpleasant experience. Thanks in advance for any input regarding.

    It's just over a year old. Usually the life of these are similar to what we use in our tractors.

    Snow blade angle

    Just wondering why are there four choices to angle a dozer blade. I suspect it has something to do with how aggressive you want your cutting edge to be for what ever you are pushing.

    You will have better luck looking up parts for a Renault 800 01 engine. This engine was also used in the Renault R4 automobile from '61-'94. Check these out, make sure they look correct before ordering anything. https://www.ebay.com/itm/326844471297 https://www.ebay.com/itm/326817730828 https://www.ebay.com/itm/116475395068 You may be able to find these parts at a local automotive store as well. The Renault R4 was never sold in the US but the R5 was labeled as the LeCar for US sales and some of the ignition parts may interchange. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ECHCS236
  14. Come on Paul. Ya know how you can spend a day washing, waxing and detailing your vehicle and the first time you take it for a drive it seems to run better? .............Same thing.

    Got another one. A 416 this time.

    Left side cover ready to install. This is the side cover from the 520H that I converted to a 520-8 I like this cover better than the original one from this tractor as the paint is good and it has the OPEI sticker on it. Left side cover hardware ready to install. Left side cover rubber plug installed as I converted tractor to old style parking brake that comes up through shift plate. Left side cover ready for speed nuts to be installed. Left side cover speed nuts installed. Tractor ready for left side cover to be installed. Left side cover sat in place. Left side cover front bolt and bottom screw loosely installed. Top screws will be installed when the shift plate is installed.
  16. Yes, that's a 12 volt battery. Obviously not a tractor. The generator was due for a walk and yesterday I figured it was as good a day as any to do that. I turned the key and listened to silence. I don't think we're going to gut much of that storm that's fixin to hammer areas south of here but I'm glad I found out under better conditions.

    Right side cover ready to install. I punched some ventilation holes with an electrical knockout punch. This is a cover I had on hand and is not in perfect condition as it has some pitting and a wear hole at the very top. The one from this tractor originally had the bolt near the front for the plastic belt cover that I am not using on this build. Right side cover hardware ready to install. Tractor ready for right side cover to be installed. Right side cover speed nuts installed. Right side cover sat in place. Right side cover loosely bolted into place.
  18. Good work! Oh the big storm.....that's all I am going to say about that! lol

    @cleat that battery tray area is what stared me on , eliminating regular , consistent issues , also very simple , experimentation stage ? started with washers to firm up initial movement stage , of course , lucas green , to insure , that smooth / solid action , that led me to heim joint experimentation , on angularity movement change , you know where i,m going . your break down work , far exceeds mine , don,t have the set up for it . that led me to the next repetitive failure stage , every related bearing , was cleaned out and lucasized , with over rated lubrication , that led me to a " WHY NOT " trial of repetitive issue , you already know what fails , really like doing that . also say paint it red or black , and you don't even see it , for me I think bearing failure , is the basis of tractor issues . my first, deck rebuild , was the basis for my view on basics , used that as a foundation , to every stage , i,m at the end of my , tractor involvement , but like to see what's going on , retired millwright , pete
  20. Safe travels Doc.
  21. One day long ago somebody, somewhere was doing something stupid and hoping they would get away with it. What was that word / practice invented you ask? Sketch / Sketchy... Today im delivering the 310 I built for my wifes cousin so she has it for this weekends "big" storm. Its a little over an hour to her house. Pics are from this morning after I did my driveway. Somebody wish me luck!!

    Yes that brace would add strength. When I designed and built mine I had not seen one before and did not think to add that brace. That said, I have four tractors with my design hitch and have moved some heavy loads without issue over the years.
  23. January 22, 1908 Katie Mulcahey is arrested for lighting a cigarette, violating the one-day-old "Sullivan Ordinance" banning women from smoking in public, and is fined $5. Appearing before the judge, she states, “I’ve got as much right to smoke as you have. I never heard of this new law, and I don’t want to hear about it. No man shall dictate to me.”

    Happy 120 Day !

    My dedicated grass . I found her on CL about 15 years ago, came with a plow & that beautiful factory replacement K301. She'll sit all winter & start on the second crank & idle. (NO CHOKE). I think I paid around $300.00 for her, she'll NEVER be culled from the herd.

    Happy 121 Day!

    The way this showed up on my lap top I couldn't see the pic @Achto had posted and thought man I can't believe they are saying that. Thought I'm going have to turn in my membership after this. I finally had enough sense to scroll up and then seen pic. To clarify read the first 4 post then skip down to post 12 and pick back up and pretend you didnt see the post 5 through 11.

    Happy 121 Day!

    I had a C-125, so maybe there should be a 125 day. I probably forget when Sunday comes around.
