I went through a stretch a while back and got 2 in a row switch's that were bad. Maybe there was a run of bad ones that got out? It kinda throws you off when you assume the "new" switch you just put on is bad .
-
One of my favorites. Mine is an 8speed also, it's a beast, has a lot of torque.
-
Yes they do look tapered. There is a long and a short style. The short style there isn't much for threads.
-
Chaz: I yanked out one of the good zerks, and the one that came out was that size, but it looked tapered. It's only 1/4 " of thread that goes into the top of the pulley. Not much to hold it. Is that correct - tapered? Thanks.

I have found replacement movements in the jungle but mostly for smaller battery hobby use clocks. They may have bigger ones tho.

I plow 6-7 properties but only mow one.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

@kpinnc I'm with @c-series don would like to know more about them weights. -
Nice pick up there. I’m green with envy. Been keeping an eye out for one myself. Enjoy!
-
Even loaded these tires are crap moving snow. Well they work ok until a melt & refreeze happens then all ice under snow forget it. Neighbor has a big pile of chains I'm gonna pick through and fit up. Trouble is they should be taken off for summer work and they can be a pain to put on and get tight seasonal. I don't have a weight box but now I leave a very heavy box scraper on.

@Brockport Bill Has a 36" deck in the classifieds with new bumpers. He may supply a source.

Turn a piece of wood to fit the existing hole and add a center hole for a hole saw. Might need to fasten it all down anothe piece of wood. -
Most I have run have that too. What a pain and I have yet to figure out why they can't put a lever on to lock it in. Gotta be a reason since they all have it. My Mahindra you almost have to stand on it to get it to hold. Then the foot slips off 'cause it's so short ... Grrr
-
YES
-
Does it have the short stub by your foot that you step on with your heel?

With the weight box on the turfs work extremely well. Never had an issue Jim. Have only used the diff lock one time. Very pleased with them. I spoke with several people about turfs because I wanted R 4's and they all talked me into turfs for my usage. No chains either.

Bring on spring! I much prefer mowing grass to plowing snow
-
I'm trying to redo my 36" rear mower deck and one of the little rubber bumpers is broke off, does anyone know how to get new ones? I believe the part number 103887 but I don't see that any are available (what a shock). C-85

Congratulations!

Back in August I bought this clock from a friend who was getting out of the hobby. The guy that he bought it from claimed that it actually hung in the factory in South Bend. Unfortunately without a picture of such I can’t verify. However I have been searching since I got it and haven’t found another one, so maybe it is one of a kind and did actually come from the factory. If anyone has seen another I’d just like to know about it. When I got it, the second hand had fallen off and was laying inside the glass. I plugged it in and it worked only for a few minutes and then stopped. So I put it away for another day. Well last night I wasn’t doing much so I decided it was time to see what I could do to fix it. I did what a lot of us do when something is broken and went on YouTube. There I found a guy who went right in and took all the gears out of the movement, and I thought well I’m not going to do that no way. Especially since he didn’t show the reassembly. Next thing you know that was me! I took it totally apart, cleaned and lubricated it. It still did the same thing when I put it back together, so not wanting to give up I took it apart again. This time I noticed a tiny brass cog that didn’t seem to be moving as smoothly as it should be. I cleaned and lubed it up with some oil that is probably 5w or 10w and put it back together again. Now it works nice and smooth and keeps proper time. After being so proud of myself I showed my wife it working like it should. She said “That’s really nice that you were able to fix it, but don’t ever think about hanging that in our house!” As if after 32 years of marriage I didn’t already know that! So in the garage it goes as I had planned. Now I just have to make room for it by moving some signs that are in the way. I should have taken more pictures of the movement when it was apart, good thing I remembered it went back together!

Thoughts on the turfs over ags or R4s Plunge? Chains not needed?

Up here we lost most of the snow we had this year in the 70 degree day last Tuesday. We had 2-3 inches yesterday from the storm on Friday but it was mostly gone by today. After the teaser on Tuesday I'm ready for Spring.
-
We got just hammered. Yesterday not a flake to be had but totally different landscape today. Most major roads and all side roads shut down. I just layed in a wood supply and holed up in the shop. Worst part it was that wet stuff and turned to ice right away. Went thru 1 1/2 tanks of gas in the deuce. Never even fired the single up. I did a crappy job too hoping this won't stick around. Pics in the morning.
-
Who knows how much more white stuff we'll get but thought it was a good time to grab some nice scenery pics. Brook is flowing very well and rain on the way.

Few more pics of the 2026 snow removal duties. Finally installed the 2 LED lights on the OTC Cab, a world of difference trying to get @Raven out to work at 6 15 am in the morning. I usually start plowing around 4 30 to 5 am. Tractor had 383 hours in 2018 when I bought it, now a little over 650.
