Looks like you may have a problem, some call it bad some will call it good. But it's still a problem;

I just take a sharp cold chisel and give the a sharp rap. No need to pound, they split easily. -
Wanna build a black hood...

@Skipper has us all beat! But I like a fat tire, front or rear. -
Thanks for getting back to me its appreciated. Still looking if anything else comes up feel free to contact me.

Yup, no pressure treated back then. And if you used creosote like on Railroad Ties, the smell may have gone away by now....

I saw your C-175 pictures and I thought it looked similar to mine! I restored this one 2-3 years ago. IMG_9389.mov -
Nothing wrong with that herd

Here I just wanted to show all the tractors I've recently bought, but haven't posted about. I just didn't think it would be very interesting as most were simple carb cleans or fuel pumps. The first two images are of my Commando 6 originally purchased in Des Moines, Iowa. I bought this in October of last year for $250, it had been sitting in a semi van for 20+ years. You might be wondering why you see a Kohler? This was one of 10 or 11 sitting around the show room a few years after this tractors model year, so to make it more appealing to buyers, the dealer installed a K-181. All I really did to it was clean the carb and rebuild the fuel pump. The second tractor is my '73 no name 8hp. I acquired this in August of last year for $200. This one already ran and functioned fine. I've been using it to feed cattle with. The third tractor is my '69 Raider 10 that I spoke of a couple weeks ago. This tractor is from my recent hall, but I haven't messed with it quite yet. It sports the HH100 Techy that does turn over. This one will be for sale soon, PM me if you're interested. The next three are of my 3 D Series that are either being built or being used. The D-160 single was also part of my recent haul along with the Raider. This tractor sat for a couple of years, but fired up after I installed a rebuilt fuel pump on it. The '73 18 Auto ran and fully functioned when I bought it, nothing much on it. The basket case is this D-200 that imwe have been building out of buckets of parts. This one will have a full repaint done on it. The last pictures are of my attachments that I have been collecting. The first is this D Series tiller that hadn't been used until I bought it. The next are my 3pt mower and tub cart, nothing much on them except replacing a belt and airing up tires. I think this is my longest post EVER! This is the herd update for now!

Seems like what some would call country music but the new country crosses into rock IMO. There's a show called "Nashville" which the wife was binge watching and I got into it too. They had some talented people so I've been listening to more country recently. Yet, I just got done watching "Hitsville: The Making of Motown" documentary. Pretty interesting story about how it all went down and the talent involved.

Some 50 years ago I replaced the wood around the back door of my sedan delivery. It's been getting progressively harder to close due to sagging and a loose hinge. The suspect was the wooden door frame. Once I got into it, I found that some insect had bored holes and weakened the frame. Looks like I have a project on my hands. Of course I'm in to it deeper than I had planned.

Years back I came home and handed her a snow shovel Her "What's this for?" Me "You wanted me to get rid of the tractors so I sold a couple. Now WE need to do the snow by hand" She doesn't really pay too much attention to my tractor hobby anymore! Maybe flowers would've better but...

Not as bad a job as you might think. @19richie66 did a thread about widening the Eaton to replace the Sundstrand on a GT-14. If you disregard the axle change out to accomplish the widening it is a rather easy job. Very few changes to the tunnel need to be made for the this swap and Richie has documented it well. - Yesterday

Several years ago I accidently cut the end of a finger off. ER was able to reattach it and gave me a prescription for pane relievers. The pharmacist told me anyone stupid enough to do that had better stop and buy some flowers for the wife to soften the blow. When my wife got home and saw flowers on the dining room table she said, "what did you do wrong this time". Guess she knows me too well.

Where the heck was 953 nut this time?

I'm home! -
The other day I was purchasing flowers to bring to my wife at work and ran into a friend. First thing the guy says is “What did you do wrong?! Then on the way to her office her coworker said the same thing to me!! I in fact didn’t do anything wrong, I just bring her flowers randomly a few times a year so when I do something stupid I’m ahead of the game. Seems to be helping 🤣🤣

8-speeds are a LOT less complicated and much smaller. Only have to figure out the brake linkage and then make sure there is clearance/alignment for the shift levers and dipstick. -
I might have one, I'll check tomorrow. Might be pretty pricey to ship tho. I'll let you know.

Have you checked with @Easton Rich? He was parting out some D's

I was able to get them out of the 14hp that is in my pulling tractor without pulling the crank. Had to have it positioned just right.

Hello, I recently purchased a D160 to serve the purpose of a compact work horse for a new property I bought. The main reason I got it was that for the price there was no better options that could mow, navigate tight areas, and had a hydro 3 point hitch. After bringing it home I realized that I didn’t have the mule drive to drive the deck and now I want to make sure why I’m finding on eBay is compatible. initially I thought the deck was wrong but after some images in manuals I think it’s correct but the chute is missing is all.
