Can I mark it "SOLD"?

This is very interesting. I'll look up what ours is. Not sure if or how it varies by region. Those times were from Washington DC. Of course it was an AI generated report so who knows. Being much further north and not impacted by the quantity of hot air being expelled in our nation's capital your weather may not be the same; and your gas mileage may vary.

Prior to 1978 dad had a '63 or '64 Galaxie with the 427 four speed. He pulled the motor and put it in a pulling tractor and ran that pulling tractor several years. As I remember, he dropped a 390 or something it place of the 427 and drove the big old black car back and forth to work. One winter morning, with snow on the ground, he was heading to work on I-35 when a trucker fell asleep and rear-ended dad. The car went up on the side of the bank, dad fell out of the open door and was sliding on his back in the ditch hoping the car didn't roll down on top of him. I was young enough that I don't remember much about the car other than it was black and the tail lights seem huge and round and I thought it was ugly as sin. Now a '71 El Camino was a thing of beauty!

Father Mike I beg for forgiveness for my shortcoming. Obviously this was an unforgivable oversite and as penitent gesture I will say 100 Uni-Drives and 50 Tach-A-Matics. If I were to confess all my sins it would go like this

Also, can someone identify what these are for?... could be for the bonnet mounts.... could also be for one of the other 5 projects that I have going on at the same time -
Nevermind on the Burns, I guess. New engine is trashed as well. No compression at all after lapping, cleaning, and adjusting the valves. Guess I'll be looking for engine number 8...

Because your watching stupid videos instead of insulting the guys here. Bearing collar or wood wedges behind the pulley hub. Put the screwdrivers down and slowly step away. The pulley and woodruff MUST come off first. Don't worry about mangling the woodruff ... common but guard the nut like it is your wedding ring. It puts the rear end back on until the front end is off. Too much wobble can mar the armature. SG rookies like you make idiots like me wonder why I never did that SG instructional. -
@sqrlgtr like super lube , hydraulic oil in those related cable slide areas , and a spring return to close , / stop , that way you always have a cable slide assist , pete

@JOHN C. talking the inner pto needle bearing ? that and the removal of the pto break pad , really increases the , lever engagement , also new outer sealed bearing , NAPA , go easy on the needle bearing wipe out and light with the green grease , excess flings onto clutch surace , added a heim joint to that lever end years ago , went right over the original 3/8 x 16 thread with a 3/8 x 24 die nut , heim screwed on with lubricated ease , that and a lever start on cowl , battery tray , washer ing up , done a lot of issue eliminations , this area is a gold mine for improvements , tried / tested on one , on all 3, for years . pete

Interestesting! 🤔 I would think they would make note of it in the manual if 74 models are different than other production years.

@Maine Red Horse was just thinking weld in a sleeve or bolt on a flange bearing , also notice the fourth picture ? notice the upper corner of your frame ? good spot to lay in a frame length 5/16 steel brake line , coming out each end , plastic cap covered ? eliminate all that rubber fuel line , break down , just a short run with a filter on each end , to carb and fuel tank . fuel line break down and related debris , is very common with ethanol fuel . minimizing regular hose , will help that .realise this not your problem , but its staring right at you . https://www.google.com/search?q=3%2F4+weld+in+pipe+tube+flange&sca_esv=7665e27beb32286e&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS866US866&sxsrf=AE3TifMhd0JlM9gf6FYs-wiz-serp VVY2Jztm3C8IsKA%3A1766353391039&ei=72lIaZWTAoeqw8cP-MbcqQk&oq=3%2F4"+weld+in+pipe++tube+&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiGDMvNCIgd2VsZCBpbiBwaXBlICB0dWJlICoCCAAyBR, pete

I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
You can leave that broken screw in the crank if you replace the stud that pushes on the outer thrust bearing. Yours will have one retaining ring outside the bearing so the application force shoves the bearing in. Later models have a retaining ring on each side of the bearing so when the pto is released it pulls the bearing and clutch away from the clutch disc. All those inner pieces can be eliminated. Notice the 2 grooves on this stud (Toro calls it a pto shaft) and the thrust bearing fits between them. https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro-102872/ If you have a metal lathe cut the extra groove in the original stud. You do not want to weld on the inner race unless you plan on cutting it off because the heat with shrink the race making it even tighter. We often weld the outer race of a bearing if it is in a counterbore. Let it cool and the race will fall out because the heat shrunk the bearing. -

I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I took the pump off to see if I could figure out what might be wrong with it. After the pump was off I reconnected the indfeed hose, stroked the lever and almost got a squirt of gas in the face. I stroked it several more times and each time there was a nice squirt. I can think of two possibilities but neither make much sense to me. The lobe inside the engine is worn or there is wear inside the pump where the lever can't provide enough stroke. How long does it take for fuel to from the tank to the pump inlet? The fuel line wraps around the bottom of the engine. I didn't put gas in the tank until I was actually ready to try starting it. Could that have been a factor in only getting bubbles when I was trying to start it? I've got pump to block gaskets on order, so it will be a few days before I can try again. -
1980 C-125 implement lifting
Maine Red Horse replied to Maine Red Horse's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Thank you ebinmaine! Handy Don what would be a thoughtful repair ? Could I get it aback in place and weld it back to the frame? -
Very very dead. I’m just amazed at the condition of the battery, no leakage and the paper label in intact and legible.

improve pto lever action
peter lena replied to peter lena's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
@John312-8 think the most interesting thing about the simple mods I made , is that they were so simple / easy , another thing that stands out , is that you just ENHANCED THE ORIGINAL INTENT , at first glance you don't even see it , the big difference is that it does not fail . have changes in place for years , and marvel at its durability , without issues. ever wonder why a choke cable sounds like a dry / rusty hacksaw ? none of my cables do , also have spring assist to CLOSE THE ACTION . that way every time you use , choke / throttle , its assisted by spring , at linkage / lever point , also super lube hydraulic oil , inside them , choke , snaps shut , easily for instant starts . pete -
This image of the left-side support for the mid-tractor rock shaft bushing tells me three things: 1. This tractor has seen a LOT of use in its life and was likely left out in the weather when not in use 2. The frame support for that bushing is toast and causing A LOT of the slop in your lift (it’ll need a thoughtful and careful repair) 3. The lack of proper support for the rock shaft may well be preventing the lift lever from correctly locking in its raised position

Watched a video…why does my project not go the same way the one in the video goes . My end cap is off but the pulley that I should be driving outa the end cap stayed on the shaft.
