@cleat thanks a bunch, mine looks to have been broken off fer some reason.. I can feel the weld on the back of cam control. I was going to tear into it but cannot find my punches to get E brake handle off. I think I brought them home while I was working on sumin here so maybe they will turn up. Don't suppose you have an extra one laying around (cam control) . Would gladly trade my foot control for one of them and the rod end I need.....

What Brand Battery For 314-8?
ri702bill replied to hotajax's topic in Wheel Horse Electric / Battery Powered Tractors
I have had decent success with the ones from TSC. And NAPA. The ones not in use during the winter (Power washer, project tractor, etc.) spend that time in the basement. -
I have bought their jacks, jack stands, some Icon, Hercules, Maddox, Quinn and Pittsburgh tools (probably others), magnets, US General toolboxes, mower lift, lights, us general power strips, various gloves, and a myriad of other stuff just in the past 3 or 4 years. The only thing that I can recall that I had “fail” (so far) was the usb charge ports on one of the 5 us general power strips I got. I stay away from Warrior anything, as that’s the bottom tier for HF. I’ve used their MiG wire and TiG rods with good results (Miller welder). Step stool, moving blankets, geez I just love (and hate) that place. yes, I get the emails and text message alerts from them, too. And the cost of the inside track club has paid for itself every year easily.

Given the businesses mentioned and its unique design, this is an antique ice pick or ice chipper, specifically a promotional one for an ice company. Identity & Function The "cage" handle is a practical design for an ice tool. It is often referred to as a "cool handle" or spring handle, designed to provide a secure grip even when your hands or the tool are wet and cold, while also dissipating the chill so the metal doesn't freeze to your hand. B. Cooper & Co. / Bond & Turney: These names confirm its use. B. Cooper and G. F. Bond were partners in the B. Cooper Ice Company of Troy, NY. They harvested natural ice from the Hudson River and local lakes, delivering it to residents for their "iceboxes" before electric refrigeration existed. Telephone 784: This was the direct line to the ice house to request a delivery. The Pointed Tip: Used to chip off specific-sized blocks of ice from a larger slab to fit a home icebox. Why the Unusual Shape? The scalloped, fan-like end (where the business names are stamped) likely doubled as a scraper or a small cleaver for smoothing the surface of an ice block or breaking off chunks, making it a "multi-tool" for the ice man or homeowner.

What Brand Battery For 314-8?
lynnmor replied to hotajax's topic in Wheel Horse Electric / Battery Powered Tractors
Brand doesn't matter much, I use batteries made by East Penn which are sold under various brand names. If you care at all about battery life they must be kept fully charged using a quality small charger. I use Battery Tender brand chargers and charge 2 or 3 days per month and get about 6 to 8 years from each battery. You didn't read the heading in this topic, it is for battery powered tractors. -
What Brand Battery For 314-8?
hotajax posted a topic in Wheel Horse Electric / Battery Powered Tractors
I been getting Interstates at the Costco for quite a while. I get between 2 1/2 - 3 years out of each one. Typically the battery sits fat. dumb, and happy from December 1 to April 1. Sometimes I charge it up if I can remember to. What brand do you like for long battery life? Thanks. -

Here is what your cam should look like. Disregard the bearing on the far side, that is for my foot control self centering. This is the welded on post that you are missing. You should already have the hole in your cam from where it was mounted originally so I don't need to give the dimensions for that. Post measurements are: 0.49" diameter 0.53" from cam to E-clip groove. 0.70 from cam to end Roller dimensions are: 0.575" Inside diameter 0.6255" Outside diameter 0.488" long

Now my guess was a climbing tool. One in each hand and shimmy up the pole. But now I am doubting myself.

I get down there and then remember the tool I need that is up on the work bench

Understood. An alternative would be a combination of using the longest bolts allowed by the depth of the threaded holes, and your choice of brand of locktite (semi-permanent thread lock, generally blue). There may enough good threads remaining to buy some time with this. Clean the holes out really well using carb or brake cleaner and thread bolts in to check the maximum depth and then use washers as necessary so the new, longer bolts don't bottom out and strip what might be good in there.

Quicking approaching 75 I can completely relate too all comments.

Thanks to all for your consensus reply. That is what I feared. I would like to avoid lifting the engine off the frame as this may be beyond my ability and strength. If the starter is completely removed, there may be enough room to get a straight look/see at what is needed in the way of room to work. That should be easily accomplished in a 1/2 hour or less. I bought the Tractor new in 2005 and continue to have confidence in its ability to do what is needed. Probably for the time being I will continue using it for mowing; always checking both bolts are as tight as possible. Which by the way, I have been doing. This season my plan was to go to a higher strength Loctite. That may have been a poor idea. Since installing a helicoil is new for me. I probably will watch a couple of YouTube videos to get a clue and confidence. I think getting the repair kit next makes sense. I will definitely follow up with any progress. Thanks Again, John

I do grease them, but the older I get it is getting harder to get on the floor to grease them. I should say It’s harder to get up off the floor.

One would think so. Been discussed here tho the grease put in sealed bearings these days is questionable so many of us pick the seal out. Clean factory grease out and repack with Greasy Pete's red tacky. Here's where everyone's opinion differs. Put the seal back in and run it or leave the seal out and regrease? I vote leave the seal out and re grease but then I have the tendency to over grease. This is on decks that I have gone through and replaced bearings. If you deck is quiet and no need to replace bearings I would say grease since you don't know what bearings you have in there.
