Misfire at idle, goes away under load but will start to sputter after a while
pfrederi replied to lahren68's topic in Engines
That isn't a good thing but there is enough that it fires the plug at least a lot of the time ..I don't see directly why operating temp impacts the issue...and why choking it helps??? Spark check while it is acting up will be the ultimate test. By the way Breakerless are like a magneto system. The do not need a battery. Never ever put 12 volts to the coil as you might do while testing a Battery points system. it will fry the trigger. -
to the beat site on the net! Nice ride!

Sometimes a little tension on the jack screw, then a bit of dead blow hammer relief will help shock the pulled part too. Get ‘er moving!

Rubber Tire Chains - Can't get any tighter, still sliding around loose
Racinbob replied to Alrashid2's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
The first time for a new set of chains can consume a bit of time. I keep fiddling with them until I'm happy and then remove all excess links. I tag and hang them on a wall when I remove them. I do deflate them and even remove the core when I reinstall them. For me it just makes it easier. If nothing else it allows me to switch from summer to winter air. I have never needed tensioners. I have a set that came 'free' with some chains but they're just sitting on the shelf unused. -

March 3, 1931 "The Star-Spangled Banner" officially becomes the US national anthem by congressional resolution; lyrics by Francis Scott Key in 1814 are set to John Stafford Smith's 18th-century tune "The Anacreontic Song"

I did the same. I had personal relationships with the owners of Chandlers, Highway 19 (later Countywide) and Stan and Teds Wheel horse dealers. Neat stories with all three. It must have been a BIG lunchbox.

Nice looking tractor !! I do not know enough about D-series attachments to help you out, but someone who knows what they are talkin about should be along soon.
-
@Retired Wrencher I too miss that. Even though I was just a kid at the time I enjoyed going to the dealership and talking to the salesman and the owners. I remember walking around to check out customers tractors that were in for service or repair. Not to mention the brand new Wheel Horses that were in the showroom that I would drool over! @Racinbob Sounds like he did it like the Johnny Cash song, One Piece at a Time! In his lunch box!

We knew a lot of people that worked there. One that always comes to mind was a Justice of the Peace. He had a garage and basement full of thousands of Wheel Horse parts and basically running a business on the side selling stuff. I was young but remember my dad saying he wouldn't buy anything from him because it was clear how he 'refreshed' his inventory.
-
That is a nice looking machine you picked up.
-
I miss going to the dealerships and talking to people who worked there. Another thing gone in our life.
-
No, never worked there but I did get to tour the plant. That was in the square hood era. Some years later, after they moved out, the plant was up for sale and the company I worked for was considering buying it. There was considerable evidence of potential ground contamination where the paint line exhaust was. It was disclosed and the new buyer had to assume clean up. We backed away.

3.5 days in to low carb/ ketogenesis changeover. 8.5 lb down. Physical hunger is not bad at all. More of a mental game and severe willpower over bad habits at this point.

Hello, my Name is Dick and I recently scooped up a D160. I had actually been looking at 312-8s because they are gear drive but I recently purchased a large property with wooded land and suddenly I found my self needing a heavier machine. I camper across a D160 with the snowblower, plow, and deck. Rear 3 point hitch, running and working for $800. I had to send a kid to fetch it and when he returned I realized that I believed the deck is not the correct one and I’m in need of a mule drive. I’ve been creeping this site for a while and I figured how I need one of join.

Man that must been cool being next to there plant. Did you ever work in the plant?

Nice score. That appears to be a good quality steering wheel pluuer. Fine threads on the jacking screw. grade 8 on the capscrews & washers. Can't tell if it has the floating tip on the screw - most likely does. Another good nane in pullers is OTC - Ottowa Tool Company.

Kent-Moore made all the special tools for GM and AMC back in the day. I was working at a Chevy garage and they bought out the local AMC dealer. They had all of these tools as duplicates and decided to have a garage sale. I bought a large pile for pennies on the dollar and made quite a few specialty tools of my own out of them
-
Bought two. Look and work great. Thank you

I remember Wheel Horse (not Work Horse) being sold at Tractor Supply. I only ever saw them once, but they were there. This was in the early 1990s, and I remember it clearly because I was in the process of rebuilding my first tractor. I needed some reference and used those tractors to help with my own.
-
Ya know I looked for that several times this morning between calls at work, and could not find it.
-
When I was working on Harley's for a livin' Kent Moore ( Spent Moore ) was a good quality as well.
-
Does anybody have a picture of the gear shifter to make sure I have the right one for it thanks
-
Have one on the shelf.......
