Click on fuzzy picture in this link. That will bring up a page that includes 2 pages on the spindle updates. Click on them to enlarge. You may have newer spindle assemblies. If you need dimensions of seals I may be able to find them. Shaft size is likely 3/4". What outside diameter do you need?

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Blaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
My thinkin’ is the rod needs to travel the same distance to achieve the same braking effect, and by moving the rod to the inner hole, a longer travel of the pedal would be required to achieve that. Either way, we both know what’s going on here. Lol. -

The "Big Show" takes place the weekend after Fathers Day so you now have about fifty weeks to make preparations for the 2027 show. -

@Jrblanke was the safety supervisor, things were going very well until he left the tent. Once he left it was inevitable that you would get in trouble. Great seeing all of you. -
I think I remember you guys talking about it. What town is it, and roughly when does it go down?

After mowing this evening, this C161 is quite the upgrade from a manual 11hp

Tonight I did a fluid change on the 1076's transmission. The loss of ground speed seems to be resolved, or at least much better. The engagement is more predictable as well. -
A new chapter for “JackRabbit” has begun… @Edward Teach (Zach) has “horse traded” with big brother @Coulter Caleb and now the 418-C is his. His brother took possession 9 years ago this December which makes Caleb and Zach the same age when it became theirs “13”. Because “Teach” has Blackbeard already, he wants to build JackRabbit for mowing and blowing…still plans to use Blackbeard for occasional mowing but regular ground engaging duties. He has a lot of plans for JackRabbit but I’ll let him share those as he sees fit. I’m pleased that it is going to stay in the family… just wait till you see the creative hand of this young man at work with this machine…

I like the white, mine gets pretty warm in the sun.

Chrome diamond plate is hard to keep looking nice. Think truck tool box. Black would look nice.

The 4th of July flag inspector came back

In Maine the wild bears are closely monitored by the Game Wardens. Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. If ANY sign of a problem with humans arrises the animal is quickly relocated. We've been within a few dozen yards of a mother with cubs. That was close enough. We have followed a large male into the forest but never found it. -

Go into the vendor section of the classifieds and send a message or email to K&B Tractor. Very reputable seller. -

At a respectful distance or from within a safe space! My closest look was from inside a (canvas walled) pop-up camper while mom & her cubs tore open an empty cooler looking for a meal. -

Handy Don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Nope. Moving to the inner hole means less travel for the actuator rod and less movement of the brake band for a given amount movement of the pedal. There will be more force on the brake band for a given amount of force on the pedal. (Or it could be we’re saying the same thing differently! ) -
Yup the metal is here to stay. I didn’t realize the originals were plastic.

I have a 42 mower deck that has oil seals underneath the mower deck pulley. I am having a time trying to be get the oil seal replaced after replacing the worn bearing. All the diagrams show a different set of parts for the ms01. Any idea where to get the new seal

Looks like a National golf course mower that raided a mower salvage yard!

The new garage was pretty hot inside during our recent heat wave, but the old garage (which is insulated and in the shade for much of the day) stayed cool enough to work in without air conditioning. I'm making more headway (I think) on my Dodge M37 project. I was just sorting through my collection of connecting rods to see which ones I want to send to the machine shop for rework. I currently have about 20 rods in various states (used, refurbished, remanufactured, and NOS). At this point I was just checking for any obvious visual defects, relatively close end-weight matching, and rod bolt fit. I'll be installing a set of ARP high-strength connecting rod bolts, and I want them to have a nice snug fit in the bolt holes in the beams and caps. I needed to find at least six good rods for the old six-banger. So far, at least eight rods have passed my initial inspection, which I plan to hand over to the machine shop (six rods plus a backup or two in case they uncover any flaws). I will be using ARP Pro connecting rod bolts and nuts, which just arrived. I'm planning to have the machine shop do the following work, which should produce better-than-new rods: Magnafluxing. Shot peening. Installing new seamless wrist-pin bushings. Spotfacing the caps to accommodate the ARP nuts, which involves eliminating the washer counterbore and creating a flat surface with a radius at the edge where it cuts into the curve of the cap (to avoid a stress riser). Installing the ARP bolts/nuts. Resizing the big ends and honing the wrist-pin bushings for size and parallelism. Re-checking the end weights for a good match between rods (touch up if necessary). BTW, I was originally planning to do more of the rod work myself, so I had made a wrist-pin bushing removal and installation tool on my lathe. Now, I might not ever use this tool, unless I decide to do some work on the 'left-over' rods, which are still perfectly useable, as long as slightly oversize rod bolts are used. Here's the tool: I'm hoping to take a bunch of parts up to the machine shop on Friday if my lower back stops acting up and allows me to sit long enough to drive up there and back.

No way I would change that fender for a plastic one, and I'm purist at heart. I never liked the big plastic fenders on the black hoods, but some do and thats all right too. I think they look so much better with that style fender you have on her right now.
