Update! I found a local shop and I provided a nice maroon, marine grade upholstery. I cleaned and painted the pan and I really like how it turned out. For $100. 😁😁

I acquired this machine as a complete non running tractor from a friend a couple years ago. Sat in the corner biding it's time to be the priority project. Finally pulled it out last month and started working on it. So... Charger on the battery and spun the engine. Sounded good. A little ether in the carb and it fired right up. Cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel line, checked the fuel pump, a little choke and part throttle, purrs like a cougar. 😁 The paint is/was oxidized a bit. Turtle wax rubbing compound brought shine back, but still has that patina that some people like. The seat was beyond repair, so separated from the pan and repainted it and had the foam recovered.. The transmission drive belt was good enough to test drive on, and I am happy to report the hydrostatic drive works like it should. 😁 Now just waiting new belts and test out the 42" rear discharge mower with mulcher . Question: The hourmeter shows 61.xx hours. I know this machine has sat in various garages for at least the last 5 or 6 years. Mechanically, I'm thinking it is right, but given the weathering from being outside, it seems low for a 35yo machine.

2nd Test: Installed tighter idler tension spring Installed light duty spring between the PTO clips. A lot smoother…

Round Hood Backrest Bracket and plywood
DBlackston replied to DBlackston's topic in Implements and Attachments
It should not be too difficult to make it from spring steel. Ill probably try to make it out of something air hardening. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Joe BenHayon replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
New Seat! This machine looks to have been left outside and neglected for more than a few years. I found what looked to be a good replacement highback seat from my local tractor supply, but I didn't like the way it fit. So.... Found a local upholsterer to recover the old seat. I like the fit and the color a lot better. 😁 Now just waiting on new belts so I can go play. 😁😁😁 -
Thank you everyone so much for the birthday wishes. Hard to believe I am 61 but still kicking and wrenching on Wheel Horses.

I bought one when I purchased my 1991, only to find out it was made of peanut butter.

EXCELLENT WORK !!

It is amazing how fast the past 18 years have gone. Thank you all for your support and patience over the years. It has been quite the journey. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you all.

Decals

@ebinmaine He definitely does good work. At some point I’ll have to figure out what the dealer sticker on the C-141 says and put a new one on. -
@rmaynard A few days ago we discussed slides. Probably 10 years ago I was going through my dad’s slides and found this picture he took of the Esso gas station and general store across the road from our house. I’m not sure what year it was taken, but I know it was before I was born. I have the glass Esso plate out of one of those pumps. Someone gave it to me because they knew I would appreciate where it came from. As a kid I remember the pumps still in service but it wasn’t Esso anymore, at least I don’t think it was. After I had the slide printed into a picture I had an extra one made to hang in the store that is now a deli. I hung this picture in my garage and one day after it was already there for a few years I looked up at it and realized that I have the sign that is in the picture hung up almost right next to it! I circled it in red. This was my family’s business sign.

@953 nut Last week you posted about national bread day as my wife was pulling a fresh homemade loaf of sourdough bread from the oven. Well tonight our granddaughter is sleeping over, so my wife decided we should watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special. Unfortunately it’s not on regular television anymore, but she found it on Apple TV. While they/we were watching it I decided to go on RS and came across this post!! Thank you for taking time out of your day to post all these fun things! We certainly appreciate it 👍🏻 -

I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80
EB-80/8inPA replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Can’t tell from the pic but it might need to be flipped around. I had a similar problem when I mounted mine backwards one year. I have to remove the bell and do up some protective greasy sleeve for the driveshaft which seems wrong - I don’t think my blade’s control arm was meant for the B-80 but I’ll make do until a nice hydro combo comes up for sale nearby. -
After a comprehensive series of tests, my doctor said “I give you six months to live” and then told me the bill was $10,000. I said “Doc, it’ll take me a year to come up with that kind of dough!” He said “I give you another six months to live.” With apologies for mangling that joke to Rodney Dangerfield, or Henny Youngman, or whoever told it the first time.

REALLY COOL Mt Washington cloud formation
EB-80/8inPA replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Started at the bottom kinda foggy, but temperate. Got to the top and it was snowing and blowing. And COLD! -
REALLY COOL Mt Washington cloud formation
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
We've hiked it once. Too many people. I'd do the super complicated trails for the experience. I have no intention of being at the top again. Did the Cog too. The ride was far better than the top. We had the distinct pleasure of having a tour leader who was part Native American and a born n raised local. Her insights were.... unique... to say the least. -

REALLY COOL Mt Washington cloud formation
Darb1964 replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
My wife and I took the Cog train in1986 on our one year wedding anniversary. My wife's sister was working at the hotel at the time. It was sunny on the base of the MT. Fog and mist on top. -

I went up to the top of Mt. Washington on the Cog Train. It was a cloudy day at the bottom but once we got above the clouds it was bright and sunny.
