    Snow plow braket dimensions to fit a 312 8

    I’d suggest you post a sketch (or pictures) of the items you’re interested in marked up with the dimensions you need. The front blade frames varied over the several tractor models (short-, “medium-”, and long-frame) so it matters what model of tractor you have.
  3. Can't give exact width detention as mine not factory. If you are using a angle like Ed's it looks to be a 2"x 4" angle. Lee1977

    What did you do today?

    I fully get the feeling. This year was my second mentoring a Destination Imagination team, now up from elementary to middle school class, and it was a lesson. Distractions abounded and it wasn’t until the week before the regional competition that they completed their entry. With a discombobulated performance, they placed a lucky (and distant) second--but still qualified for states. After winning convincingly last year at the state level, and now stung and determined, they used the two-week interval before the state competition to get their act together both in their engineered structure and in their team collaboration with hopes for better placement. The rules limit the presentation to eight minutes. They also put strict limits on the number and size of the components and a maximum allowed load for the engineered structure that the team must assemble and demonstrate as one part of that presentation. A major element of scoring is the ratio between the structure’s weight and the load it supports and so our team had opted for a somewhat complex but extremely lightweight design. At States, feeling the time pressure, one teammate did not realize they hadn’t fully mated two components of the structure. Only a few seconds after being fully loaded, the structure collapsed in a heap. Luckily (and I guess fairly), the assessors ruled it had held long enough to qualify plus the failure had powerfully demonstrated the team's exceptionally high-risk strategy (another scoring element). Combined with a more polished rest of the presentation, they were again state champs in their category and qualified for the Global competition.

    Actually pretty slick job... Now, as for caption: If he'd use the 96 gallon hood, it would simply drive into its destiny...

    Gas Prices & the BS

    It's just money, they make more of it every day. What's more important leaving money in your pocket or seeing friends and having a good time. THAT only comes once a year. How do you put a price on that? A few less trips to Starbucks and you'll make up any difference.

    Also dose anyone have drawings or dimensions of the snow plough frame without the blade on?

    The soft start controller senses engine RPM and engages accordingly. It's like antilock brakes. Engages with pulses beforehand.

    Still take the hound to the lake every day so it's a 10 -15 mile round trip. My to do list is my own. Paint the fence and porch trim. My to do list from her: Rip out all of the weed paper and weeds out of the garden!

    in addition to my grandsons getting some seat time for themsleves and helping me in the yard - - the WH world has provided quality time with their Grampy - plus for them it has introduced them to learning tools as well as mechanical skills - just the concepts of combustion engine - what are cylinders, pistons, carbs, transmissions etc -- They have changed oil, tranny fuid, various filters etc, installed plow and decks - done some rehab painting etc - - then a few items we rehabbed and sold I then share the profits with them which gives them some cash of their own they would not have otherwise - - all in all the WH world gives them pride - sense of knowldge, accomplishment etc -- all values and characteristcs of importance as we all learned growing up -- Bill

    857 Hydrostat?

    A hydro will consume about two horse power more than a geared transmission so you may want to consider a 10 HP unit. Place a wanted ad here to see if someone has a 1075 or 1076 for sale. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/ The Wheel Horse Collector Club annual show is coming up in June, if you haven't found what you are looking for that may be a good place to go shopping.

    Anyone traveling near Little Flock Arkansas (next to Bentonville) to near Marble Falls Tx. I can meet anywhere in Central Texas. There's a small garden tractor I'm interested in.

    I would imagine that Sweepster takes some pretty good torque to set in motion.
  19. Saw this on another forum "How To" He was proud of his new replacement hood from Home Cheapo. There hasn't been a "Caption This" in a while, so I figured ya'll would have some fun with it.

    857 Hydrostat?

    keep your eye out for an 875, 876 etc. they are already a hydrostat.

    857 Hydrostat?

    A sunstrand hydro gear would bolt up but you have to get the necessary motion control linkages and belt tensioner into the hood stand. May need a new belt guard and I think an engine pulley.

    857 Hydrostat?

    Good Morning All After 40+years i finally sent the 3416H Simplicity to a new home, I acquired a 857 w/deck a couple of years back, and have been mowing with it. I like it because of the turning radius and overall compactness. The 8HP Kohler is very fugal on gas and it just runs great. What I miss is the hydrostat. They are great to mow with as your ground speed and blade RPM are not directly related to the throttle. So, as I am a habitual tinkerer, is there a hydorstat unit that will bolt up in place of the 3 speed gear box? Thanks to all who respond.

    Definitely worth considering. I know I'm talking apples to oranges here, but I installed a soft-start on my older air conditioning unit on my house in order to run on generator and the LRA went from over 90A to under 10! Not cheap but worth it. Opinions regarding extending the life of the unit vary but I can't imagine it not being positive. 35 y/o 2 ton Carrier.

    What did you do today?

    When I was in elementary school the teachers figured I couldn't see well and attempted to "improve" the situation with glasses. There was very little known about dyslexia and teaching methods to deal with it. In the Navy I was a radar operator when we were underway and we had to write information backward on a Plexiglas window so the officers could read it as they went by. Most people had difficulty doing that but I had done it all my life.
