@Ed Kennell Speaking of the beach, I thought of you Ed when we piled up this lobster! Another couple that camped with us had a friend who owns a lobster boat. We literally got them fresh off the boat! This was last weekend in Montauk, L.I., N.Y. Water in the background is Block Island Sound.

yeah .. like kwalshy, we would field dress first - makes a difference between dragging a 210 lb buck and a 180 lb field dressed buck a mile and a quarter over mostly snow-free grass fields (didn't have ATVs or horses back then to help drag over the hills and through the fields) but it'd be a lot easier to dress and skin if we'd been near enough to the hanging "tree" (swing set built from welded up 2 inch iron pipe) to get 'm hoisted .. so the field dress thing was more to do with getting the deer out with the least effort possible.

@953 nut @Ed Kennell Here you go Richard, I just took this video 5 minutes ago. Talk about waves breaking on the beach! It’s hard to see in the video, waves a little to the right and approximately 1/2 mile off shore have got to be 10’-12’ hitting a sandbar. Last night was pretty wicked here, with the storm coming up from the south bringing heavy rain and strong winds. It’s calming down now though and we are heading home soon. This is just east of the Shinnecock Inlet, Southampton, L.I., N.Y. IMG_2274.mov

I've never tried to skin then field dress. I was taught to get those guts out asap, hang, then skin. In your opinion: For those of you that skin 1st then field dress, does it really make butchering that much easier?

The first mate on a ship decided to celebrate an occasion with a "little" stowed away rum. Unfortunately he got drunk and was still drunk the next morning. The captain saw him drunk and when the first mate was sober, showed him the following entry in the ship's log: "The first mate was drunk today." "Captain please don't let that stay in the log," the mate said. "This could add months or years to my becoming a captain myself." "Is it true?" asked the captain, already knowing the answer. "Yes, its true," the mate said. "Then if it is true it has to go in the log. That's the rule. If its true it goes into the log, end of discussion," said the captain sternly. Weeks later, it was the first mate's turn to make the log entries. The first mate wrote: "The ship seems in good shape. The captain was sober today."

Eric, those photos of you doing WORK remind me of my wife's opinion of the "Home Renovation" shows on TV. She always tells me the host of the show is filmed holding tools and then gets out of the way so the workers can actually accomplish the task. Nice of BBT to allow you to look like you did the job. -

Wheelhorse D160 Workhorse

Welcome back. I can't see any reason that the mounting hardware from your mower couldn't be transplanted to a newer deck from a 300 or 400 series. Their mounting looks extremely similar, there are a couple of "D" adaptors shown but you already have them. -

An old fuel line can have minute cracks in it that won't leak gas yet but will allow air into the line and the fuel pump can't pump air.

Love the sound of waves gently coming to the shore. I played that video several times. Glad you had a good time.

Wheelhorse D160 Workhorse
Chav88 replied to Chav88's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Okay long time since I’ve made an update. The wheelhorse has served me well this summer and she has gotten all the work done that I needed but she has found some issues. The deck is popping holes left and right. I’ve patched them but a combination of the decks condition and my property has left the deck in rough shape. I’ve tried to find a replacement but marketplace has been less than fruitful. I thought about fabbing a new deck or modifying one to fit. But at this point it’s time for her to get the snowblower hooked back up and get freshened up for winter. I also need to build a ballast for the rear and find the proper size tire chains. -
I am bringing a friend, that would give Aaron a bird’s eye view of the action!

My first starter-generator. Is it loud?

Getting the belt guard aligned is a tricky proposition. There's very little clearance overall so a gain at one spot creates a tight spot somewhere else. Ended up bolting down the guard and running the engine, then tapping around with small rubber mallet until I found the sweet spot where the noises disappeared. Sometimes you just gotta go with what works. -
I got all coked up today ... the evaporator fan wires were brittle and cracked and a short waiting to happen. Unit bearing motors are not meant to be taken apart and this one was hardwired. I was up for the challenge and replaced the cable. Rewired the rest of the cooler while I was at it. I dated this thing around early 50s.

I was expecting to see a chair on the front end with some one from @Pullstart's plow day sitting on it...

Check my oil and air up the fronts is all I gotta do. Pullstart can put on the dual if he wants. I got those front wheel weights you wanna throw them on Dan.

Started some physical therapy today. Started out by turning the ends down on some 5/8" rod in order to make a new tie rod with replaceable ends for my 953. Changed the sediment bulb and gave it an oil change. Next I made a bracket so I can hang dumb bell weights on the front. Finished off by preparing some 7" x 5/8" round plate to use as my dumb bell weights. These weight about 6lbs each. I have enough room to hang 13 of these on the front. The 78lbs should help hold it down.
