  1. Past hour
  2. They told me they got 9 mpg at 65 mph and it went down a little bit when flat towing their stick shift new beetle. I hope a smooth sided vee nose trailer will keep it above 6 mpg. More than anything, I hope to keep it cool. The heat it can build with a rear radiator and a flat nose enclosed trailer or a heavy load alone can do major engine damage as we all know
  3. Every little bit helps, right? I’m guessing that towing a box trailer that fits neatly behind that rig wouldn’t put too big a hit on mileage, either. What are its tow ratings? Joining Pilot saves 10¢ per gallon at the pump most of the time at the volume I use. The 100 gallon semi drivers get a better deal!
  4. First side of the first wheel painted. Not perfect by any means but I like it.
  5. I have Mudflap, so there was pretty steep savings. Not enough to see if it’ll race my wife’s Suburban, but for example on one fill up we saved $24 at the pump and another about $43! That’s savings off pump price, not a silly credit in the next 2-10 business days.

    Wheel Bolt Pattern Compatiblity

    How about the John Deere 15X600-6 front wheels, will they fit on a 312?
  7. Yep. Welded all the way around both edges. Definitely more work than I wanted but if I ever try this again, this is how I will do it. Nice smooth edges. Won't harm a tube.
  8. Yes, pushing a brick down the road at speed and getting over 8mpg isn’t too bad--comparatively. 8.75 mpg @ $4.70 is around 53¢ per mile? Diesel around me is well over $5 a gallon, btw.
  9. Today
  10. When my brother passed away without a will I became the administrator of his estate. I gave our cousin his car and had all of the necessary paperwork filled out and notarized by an attorney. My cousin told me he entered the DOT office anticipating a long delay and problems ahead, but said they were very nice to her and everything was handled quickly. Sooopo, turns out those horror stories are a thing of the past.
  11. @cleat thanks I couldn't find that listing the other day for some reason, but pulled the trigger on one this time .
  12. Glad you had a good trip home, thanks for sharing the picture of a dozen bales of hay, OH, The57 stovebolt has some nice patina on it too.

    Hi everyone. 1989 WH 312-8 for sale, second owner. Includes plow, chains, cart, bagger and mower deck (not pictured). Newer tires, manuals, and some parts. Unit runs well but does have difficulty at start up. All items listed as-is, no warranty is offered, and price is firm. I truly want this Horse to find a good home. PM if interested.
  16. This is the one I bought for my 416H. It just snaps into place. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/126472362456?_skw=wheel+horse+onan&itmmeta=01KQ2ZTJK2TX83VXPQZY655JAY&hash=item1d725719d8%3Ag%3AAZsAAOSw6n1mO5oq&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xDVjeLA%2FpU5q4iXxar%2FkIwc3nV1%2BEZ25SpxN5%2FwUTUTw4tvNckXz3V28ZZbaVk6A2DHNSsi8eRxUZg2oqHcoYK3xJbblEo5d7BHUquc9wi76%2BShqLHllbTJR70r%2FIsWYOaMTRRBIPDCy9rt3MwM2wCEjpgr27%2FNcuEBNix2d6UzGNQZeWhjjOQX2AsAWN6Jmk4HBQ20KUZ4HKngAIaz6U4c0g0btp7q6%2BNnlpywbdlXgRSfKX09Hirux8%2FGoYGRCWW1%2BZ6OFuCMyWIjAe5AeMpLApiTLNSL5uvPK6YhDddn%2FQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-Kp6t-4Zw&LH_ItemCondition=3 I am not associated with this seller in any way but I have bought a few of these from them over the years and they are a good seller.

    Zagray - whatcha got?

    That's the piece I'm looking for. If you want me to take the rest it will go into the "future project pile" to build something out of.
  19. Which would still have nothing to do with the charging system in a magneto ignition engine. The only problem is the engine wouldn't run with a bad magneto "conducting a cross-over" so it can't spin the magnets for the stator to work. That's about the only connection. You've also read they have nothing to do with each other so please do the diagnostics necessary to determine what is correct and what isn't. Maybe the confusion here is with a battery ignition which could possibly short and cause charging issues with a stator. IDK

    Zagray - whatcha got?

    @wallfish It stopped raining for a minute. Here's what I have. Plus the deck I'm getting from Sparky. The triple drive pulley has new bearings in it. The gears and bearings in the bearing stands are good.

    Wheel Bolt Pattern Compatiblity

    The rear wheel have the same bolt pattern but the backset is different. an inch or more deeper 2-1/2 inch vs 1-3/8 for wheel horse. For hydros and some under seat gas tank there can be clearance issues. Tires will rub on stuff.

    RECIPES

    Made a strawberry rhubarb this morning. 2 cups berrys 2 cups rhubarb 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup flour orange zest bake @ 450 for 30-40 minutes till it's bubbling easy peasy...enjoy
  23. Happy that you like your new rig. Even happier that you had a safe trip. Even happier yet - that I wasn't footing the bill to fill that fuel tank.

    Wheel Bolt Pattern Compatiblity

    I see many John Deere 200-300 series rims and tires for sale, on FB Marketplace, but hardly any Wheel Horse Rims/Tires. Question 1 is :will the John Deere wheel bolt pattern fit on my 312 Wheel Horse? Question 2 is: will John Deere front.rims with 15X6.00-6 tires fit on my 312 Wheel Horse I think my front spindle is 3/4" . I will probably put new tires all the way around on the 312 but temporarily, the John Deere Wheel idea could buy me a little time & still keep my 312 running & earning its keep. Tom

    2026 Deer and Fish Tales

    I pulled the trail camera and found I have a Piebald in the area. Plenty of deer showing up every night and day. Just a couple of the 300+ pictures on the camera. See the piebald at the lower left corner. No horns yet, but I'm guessing this may be a pretty old dominate buck.
  26. You might check with @Wheel Horse 3D and see if he can 3D print one. He has made some similar stuff for me in the past like the steering wheel insert below.
  27. I forgot to mention I also still need to fabricate the adjusting handle. Stay tuned....
