Interesting.... believe it or not I actually have one already. It was a previous auction find...

Thank you all for the kind welcome and good advice. I can easily shift into all the gears in both H and L range. I think the belt is the problem.It is very loose and looks ancient! I will replace that first.

The Heinrich vises are the cats rear, one like this would be ideal for your purposes but somehow I believe you might pass on that:

One item is a quick action vice made to hold small parts. You would leave a bar get close to the column to prevent rotation while you holding everything with your left hand. The Tapmatic is a tapping head, with the proper collets you can use #6 to 1/2" taps. The tapping head will engage as the tap if fed into the work and will automatically reverse as you raise the spindle. The collar on top adjusts the torque so you can apply just enough torque to prevent breakage.

Question for the guys that plow dirt
702854boy replied to 702854boy's topic in Implements and Attachments
I'm not quite sure who we got it from, I think we got it from the big show last year and if i remember correctly it was from one of the dudes in the stall closest to the food area thingy -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Blue Chips replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Sounds legit to me. We contribute a bunch of tree trimmings to our neighbor's burn pile once or twice a year. It's always a big and hot burn (the pile of branches in the photo is over six feet high), placed in the middle of a large lawn to keep it far from any nearby trees, and the grass always grows back quickly and thickly, although it's a completely different type of grass (maybe crabgrass?) than the surrounding lawn, which is largely Kentucky bluegrass. I imagine that the seeds may have already been present in the soil several inches below the surface, since they come up thickly and all at once, and they apparently like the fertilizer from the ashes. The Kentucky bluegrass eventually spreads back in and out-competes the opportunistic grass. -
Not much for pics Kev... we got a little trackin dust. Amazing how the girls are easy to spot in the woods now. This was planted the weekend after plow day or so.

Question for the guys that plow dirt

I just had one that pulled the ball neatly off. Brand new one from Lowell. If yours was from him give it back to him he'll replace it. Plowing requires a spare to be on the shelf. Only work around is to get longer cable and cable clamps. Any hardware store. -

Awesome calendar - thanks, Trina! It means a lot when you'd probably rather be working on your own tractors, house or barn but you take the time to do this. -

Clevis Hitch To Trailer Ball Adapter
WHX?? replied to leeave96's topic in Implements and Attachments
You could just mount a ball on a piece of flat stock and put it in the slot hitch. Be easy enough to weld on a piece for a drawbar. -
Happy Birthday!!

What are all of you guys that build your tractors for plowing using for a lift cable? Is there a better alternative other than the stock way that stretches or snap the lift cable? This evening I was getting ready to go try plowing with my 864 and i had just made it into the yard when the ball on the end of the lift cable, the cable snapped right in front of it and it dug into the yard. According to dad, him and my grandpa had to replace the lift cable on our 702 quite often when they were trying to do the same type of stuff. It's just a tad annoying having the cable stretch or snap and by now someone has had to come with a better way to do this.

Thank you Trina! Every page I turned I thought wow! This is really nice 👍🏻 -
With the right setup I'd try it.

You stop up. Bring drillable stuff.

I've taken a few spills off of ladders over the years. First one was in 1970 at trade school when my step ladder sank into the soft dirt and ended up knocking the teacher off of his ladder as well. The last time I fell of a ladder was about three years ago, shortly before I decided to retire after fifty years. I was shooting nails into a 2x4 plate on the ceiling of a room I was dividing for a customer. Working by myself, I shot a 16d nail and sometimes a nail gun will shoot two nails and making a bigger recoil. I was stretched a little to far and fell backwards landing with my tenderloin hitting a corner of a cement block on the floor. (A couple of inches over and I would have landed on my backbone.) I completed the jobs I had agreed to do for folks and unloaded the tools out of my work truck. Last week, cleaning fence rows at the farm, the last tree was a cedar that had grown into the woven wire fence. It leaned towards the neighbor's farm so I boarded the grapple on the front of the tractor then my brother lifted me as high as it would go and I hooked a chain onto the tree and the grapple so he could keep a pull upon it and prevent it from mashing the fence or falling the wrong way. It was all my 16" bar on chainsaw would do to reach through the tree. I notched it, and cut from the backside above the fence. As it started to drop I began my exit and the tree rolled with a limb knocking me to the ground. It snatched my stocking cap off of my head but left ear muffs on. I crawled out from under the tree with only a few scratches on my left shoulder and a sore knee. I didn't tell my wife until I got home a couple of days later--she wasn't happy I waited so long but I was over most of the soreness and that resulted in not being grilled so much whereas she could see me walking. I told her that most folks would have considered themselves being knocked down by a falling tree. Not me. I'd like to think the tree bounced off of me. Below is the pond dam once we cleared it of brush and overhanging limbs. Now we can drive across it without brushing the woody growth along the fence.

Thank you Trina. Another great job well done! -
Love the pans!!

Not sure if I would go that far, but who knows? I do know that I wouldn't attempt it. I'll do key ways and stuff like that, but that's out of my league.

Thanks Trina!!! So, the "no people in the pictures" thing... Do our tractors make our butts look that fat? -
Resto For My 1979 Wheel Horse B-111 Tractor
Alan173 replied to Alan173's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I need to come up with more excuses to use it around the yard.....besides riding in circles yelling Ya-Hooooo!....and my wife shaking her head. In reality....it sure makes splitting wood not seem like work when you get to tool around on it. Things I noticed from my 2 photos. A leaf fell on it that I didn't see - Eeeeek! LOL. It also looks like I need to restore my old wood splitter as it looks like a clunker next to my Wheel Horse. I'm thinking I need a large water tank to pull around the yard and water the 20-30 odd trees I planted this fall. That will be a good excuse to use the Wheel Horse dump trailer more. Stay tuned. My wife: "You need what to water what?" More head shaking. I'm used to it. Thanks for all the GREAT comments...glad I posted up some 'In Action' photos! You can certainly NEVER take a bad picture of a Wheel Horse being used... -
Those are some very impressive pictures. We need more hydro, whether the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing gravity will be there.
