Wow!!!! @dclarke you gotta see this! -
Know anyone in the auto body business? They should have trays of door hinge pins and bushings and most are flanged. Some are nylon and others sintered bronze.

Hmm am I sensing someone is committing some WH thievery? -
Nice I guess someone isn't gettin that back. Well serves him right he shoulnd't a left it here. Where is that Brinly stamp? I prolly didn'see it for covered in rust. It was yard art here for a year or three. I think I did use it once and always dug the shape of the share. Thoughts on spray clear on it instead? For that display shine? If you want Dan I can clean the coulter up for your display. I really shouldn't be using this one for yard art it's too cool. Only paint I guess. The one I got from @stevasaurus years ago. Maybe he can shed some light on it. And if it had the decal on it before he restored it. Looks to be the same plow except for the sharp instead of rounded corner on the back of the share.

That was an interesting article John, thanks for the link. I never paid much attention to that particular tune until I had kids of my own, and now I can't hear it on the radio without doing a little soul searching and evaluating my own parenting accomplishments over the years. I'm happy that both my kids, now whole-arse adults, still seem to enjoy hanging out with their dad on a regular basis, I musta done something right.

PN 5457 Any one got a decent source for these? They are out there but just a crazy price. Anyone ever see them in Hillman drawers? Am I wrong in thinking these should be 1 or 2 $ ?

Winter Project - Tractor Cab and Snow Blower Electronic Control Upgrade!
Andy N. posted a topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Pretty much finished up my winter project today. 1987 418-A paired with a 1995 tall shoot 42" snow blower. It started early last year when Original Tractor Cab Co. started selling cabs again for 300, 400, & 500 series. I also wanted to upgrade my snowblower from manual to electronic control with chute rotation and deflector movement all controlled from a joystick in the cab. Cab install was easy enough. Directions were easy to follow and no missing parts in the kit. I upgraded to the glass windshield (highly recommended), all lights, windshield wiper, side mirrors, review mirror, and cab heater. I also got the switch panel kit. IMG_8874.mp4 Next was the shoot control. Big thanks to @Steve Janninck for helping design and 3D print the electronic control boxes and other various parts. Joystick control: Electronic switching control box: The limit switch and diode box: IMG_9206.mp4 And the most anticipated piece....Air Horns! I had purchased these 12 volt air horns a couple years ago in anticipation of installation on a tractor one day. As the project came together, it became apparent that this is was the time to install them. IMG_6335.mp4 IMG_9227.mp4 IMG_9226 (1).mp4 IMG_9224 (1).mp4 -

I recently stumbled across a YT channel that is mostly heavy metal versions of old hymns. I'm liking it.

Found this article interesting and about a good song too. But a sad one. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/harry-chapins-1974-no-1-134411189.html

@Ed Kennell noting your pto . I also disconnected my related brake pad set up , while going thru, my upgrade years ago , on anything with rotational drag , collectively that bearing drag , eats clutches , and and was just something , i was going to improve, often refer to my mule drive down belt easily moving by hand and also no related frayed belts , from incremental bearing hang up , that mower deck , spindle belt , with added flat idler on back return side , eliminated that long unsupported belt bounce . have not had any bearing issues of any kind , noise/ rough , my pto spindle still spins , when I turn off the engine , silently . like a repetitive problem , for track down and elimination . you can see what fails , often find other related areas , for me once I start , just keep going , my plow frame , was unrelating trouble spots , just me and a roller stool , it completely exposed itself , swings like butter , pete .

It doesn't look like it. The board is original, but someone built the frame it looks like. I could be wrong -
What are you hoping to accomplish by modifying the carb? Is the engine already modified?

Some assembly today. No, not on the tractor. I put together the plow that I painted a few weeks ago. Normally I spread grease on the shiny portions of my plows for storage. This plow I plan to display with the tractor this year so I really don't want do deal with a plow full of grease when I'm handling and transporting it around. So instead of grease I choose to spray the shiny portions with Till-Guard. This paint is designed to protect the polished surface and to scour off when the plow is put back in use. One up front warning - this stuff really thin and runs very easily. Very thin coats or spray like normal paint and wait for your runs to reach the bottom of the share & let them drip off. Question time - Can anyone tell me if this is actually a plow?. Reason that I ask is because in the pictures that I find the plows have a turn buckle to adjust pitch. This one has an L bolt with 2 nuts on the adjuster.
