I guess it is possible, but I have never seen a filter that was too big. Did you try greasing and stretching the grommet?

How long will this last?
WHX?? replied to andrewLL's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
So I pulled the trigger on the bearings @Achto posted since i have a set to paint. They look pretty good ... fairly tight and only maybe a couple thou of wiggle. Picked a seal and yah very little grease in them so they will get repacked with greasy Pete. -
I have a 1977 (or so) International tractor at our place in Virginia, which unfortunately doesn't get a lot of exercise, and routinely sits for weeks or even several months at a time. Back in 2008 I met and started hiring a local retired IH mechanic to take care of my larger maintenance and repair tasks on this tractor, and he recommended Stanadyne products. I've been using their Performance Formula ever since, with apparently good results. I don't believe I've ever had any fuel issues since then, even though I'm not especially religious about keeping the tank full. I use whatever on-road diesel I can get locally, seems to be good enough. And I get the fuel filters replaced every 200 hours or so, which in my case works out to be about every 3-4 years. So far, so good. By far, my biggest problem with this tractor isn't its own fault, flat front tires. Fookin' autumn olive! But that's a topic for another day.

First Time Going to Big Show (2026)

You can join right at the show too. Really that kinda sucks about the church group. Sounds like the Lions are being dinks. -
And don't touch yer yapper until you wash your hands. Tastes like crap and makes your tongue and lips numb. ...At least that's what I hear.

Dimensions needed for Mid Mount Grader Blade Bracket
kpinnc replied to BradKahler's topic in Implements and Attachments
Looks factory to me. Well done! -
I have dealt with that issue on fuel level sender floats as well. I am confident it is not sinking. Rubber tipped needle. Tip feels pretty pliable. I bought this unit at the show last year. I only use non-ethanol fuel. All history before last June is unknown. If anyone here sold a Commando 8 with a bunch of added lights and a car horn to a youngster for $450 down across from the pavilions at the end of the fair grounds, feel free to chime in on the history.

Whenever I got bit I went to the VA and they never tested for it. They said it may show up but probably not. They just gave me pills and sent me packing. I never got the bullseye. My dad got it with a huge bullseye and the doc up north knew right away what it was since it's common up there. They gave him pills where he couldn't have alcohol for a couple of weeks. I'll have none of that ...

On a ‘79-ish C series with hydraulic lift, do we really adjust the lift lever chain/bar trunnion so that the rubber bumpers on the mower deck draft arms touch the bottom of the foot rests? The geometry doesn’t seem like it would work since I’d have to raise the chain up a couple/several links to get the bumpers to touch the foot rests. And that would cause other issues with removing/installing the deck as well as not being able to lower the deck enough to cut shorter. There isn’t much lift with the hydraulic version. My other C series has the manual lift and it has much more lift and making the bumper touch the foot rest is no problem and it will still be able to be lowered all the way to the ground.

I am using a 1974 C120 special with a toasted techy that has a Kohler magnum 12 take over. The V61's are the smaller 16x6.50x8/170x60x8.. I didn't confirm my rim size but had 16x6.50x8 turfs on previously they leaked and had previously been slimed and which corroded the rims and required JB to fix rust holes.

Always a problem. Tom @Shynon was turning sockets down and selling them. Originals are 3/8 aftermarkets 10 mm.

These are the original wide rims on a C120 8 speed.

@gwest_ca Thank you for the quick response!

Here is mine on the C160 and they look like they have enough room for mule drive but I hadn't had one on this mochine in awhile. 1974 year model

What year model do you have? I know the 1976 and 1977 C-120 came with 5 3/8" wide wheels I have seen some 1974 and 1975 C-120 with 4" wide wheels. Lee1977

I have a fleet of diesels (prime movers and generators) that only deploy on occasion...sometimes as much as 4 years or so. I use Biobor JF with good results. I periodically pull samples and have never found growth or separation of any kind. I move fuel from one to another through a scrubber when I have time and replace what I can but it's pretty static and I don't commit a lot of time to it.

Appreciate any guidance, or feedback: 70's B-80?
kpinnc replied to Buschlight13's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Good point. Most of us cut the pin close to the case, and drill a fairly large hole in the end so we can use a punch to push it out. This reduces the deformation. -
If I calculated right, .02 cents in 1900, is almost .79 cents today.

Handy Don replied to Buschlight13's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yep. Anytime you hit steel hard there is deformation. If it enlarges the diameter of the pin, you’ve just defeated your purpose. -
Cell Phone Communication While at the WHCC
Handy Don replied to rmaynard's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
My car’s cellular connection is mostly on AT&T so it drops out a couple miles from the fairground at the terrain gets lumpier. Switched to CarPlay via my Verizon phone to resume navigation! -

They will definitely come out with some patience. Just be careful not to get annoyed and try to beat it out. The cast iron case will break. Ask me how I know... -

If you are referring to the round hood style rear fenders (32R/ 32E, 33R/ 33E, 34R/34E), they would only fit if you modify the sheetmetal underneath. The original 65-67 fender support runs horizontally front the tower to the rear of the seat pan. The easiest thing to do is find a 62-64 Ranger center column. That wasn't an option for me because they don't turn up here in NC very often. Of course that requires using a different hood as well... I added round fenders on my son's 1967 Ranger but alot of fabrication was involved. The toolbox for round fenders is a couple inches shorter so I not only had to cut the original 67 support to allow for the toolbox to mount on the transmission, but I also had to cut and weld an angle into the center to match the round fender tool box. You could just cut the original fender support to allow the round fender toolbox to fit, but it will be a couple inches higher than the top of the toolbox.

Best way to clean the baked on looking grime off the tractor and engine?
ebinmaine replied to bo dawg's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I hate to go all "Captain Obvious" here but the strength of spray is regulated easily by backing away from the item being sprayed. Too much gumption? Move back a feet or three...
