1969 Raider vs 1973 8-8 Hoodstand Question
Lee1977 replied to oliver2-44's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Could not find the assemble drawings for the 69 Raider 12 1-6231. I think they are the same. My 1971 had a pipe at the back for the fender hinge. All the others I found as a flat bar bent down on the ends for the hinge, either one will work. The 73 8-8 has the bar if the drawings are right. - Today

I put a pan under it. Really I put a new gasket in it dry and bolted it together. Seems to be doing OK. One thing I do make sure of with my 2 piece tanks is to never let them sit empty. Just as the cork in a whine bottle needs to stay wet in order to maintain a seal, I believe the cork seal in a gas tank should be treated the same.

In the fall of 1933, just before the 18th Amendment was repealed, Joseph P. Kennedy traveled to London and secured exclusive U.S. distribution rights for major British liquor brands (such as Dewar's, Haig & Haig, and Gordon's Gin) through a company called Somerset Importers. When Prohibition officially ended in December 1933, Kennedy's pre-stocked warehouses and legal permits allowed him to immediately flood the American market. The massive and sudden scale of his legal liquor business led many people to assume he must have been operating illegally during the dry years. Years later, aging mobsters like Frank Costello claimed they had worked with Kennedy, though historians and federal vetting (including opposition research during the 1960 presidential campaign) never uncovered any proof.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
oliver2-44 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Replaced 2 clutch disc. Glued new ones one with JB Weld. The new clutch disc were slightly larger ODD, so I trimmed them with a belt sander. First verified they were non asbestos, but still wore full PPE. -

15” 6 lug wheels (wheel weight size)
8ntruck replied to Chav88's topic in Implements and Attachments
Years ago, I was on the Tire & Rim Association Wheel Weight Subcommittee. We were working on standards to insure that clip on balance weights and the flange contours on steel and aluminum rims would play well together. With that background, I was kind of wondering why you wanted to balance the wheels on your tractor. Then the light came on you were wanting traction weights, not balance weights. -
Not until 1948 or so... but I get it. I am quite sure that on the 10/29 of '19, all the unsold products got re-labeled as "For Medicinal Use Only", and there were a LOT of "ill" folks.....

October 28, 1919, Congress passes the Volstead Act over President Woodrow Wilson’s veto. The Volstead Act provided for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, also known as the Prohibition Amendment. The movement for the prohibition of alcohol began in the early 19th century, when Americans concerned about the adverse effects of drinking began forming temperance societies. By the late 19th century, these groups had become a powerful political force, campaigning on the state level and calling for national liquor abstinence. In December 1917, the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the “manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes,” was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. In January 1919, the 18th amendment achieved the necessary three-fourths majority of state ratification, and prohibition became the law of the land.

Pictures of mechanical stuff needed!!
Retired Wrencher replied to ebinmaine's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Wow Mike that nice collection of busted pistons. -
Thanks for the reply James. Good info. I am in no hurry to finish this. I need something to do in the winter time, every day for a few hours.

Make sure your pets put out their smokes and cover their feet.

Pete the paint is bad.It is a maroon type cover on it so I’m not worried about that and I’m sure as heck not standing everything down and repainting it.

Wow Bill thanks. That is from the back any way. I just never look at. I did not see that. I have a bunch sanding pads from course to fine that will fix this in no time. I also have an E-lift from the ceiling of the garage this will make it easy to fix and and clean and assemble small parts. No bending your back, wrenching your neck, to get something on the frame. Thanks for the reply.

Pictures for clarity. There is a large spring in front of the engine that pushes it back. The clutch system pushes the engine forward, tensioning the belt.
