Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Now this is definitely a “side shot”!! I posted this elsewhere on the forum but just realized how perfect it is for this topic -
Kohler Magnum 8 HP Gas Cap Info. Ariens part number.
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Agreed. The "bottom" of the OE tanks being at varying levels makes for an almost accurate 😛 guage reading below maybe a 1/4 tank. I'd have a similar issue with the roundish oval shaped tank in Cinnamon Horse if that adaptation goes. But at least I'd have a rough idea. -

Camper cover building construction thread
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
At a later date it's possible. Not in the initial build. There is plenty of drainage for water runoff and melting snow in the current base of rocks/sand/gravel. It would be great to have the stability of a concrete area once the new aggregate is settled. -

Fuel gage would be nice! Plus accurate since the fuel cell is a “block”. The fuel gage on the under seat fuel tanks is far from accurate with its goofy shape -

Eric - are you planning to do a concrete pad for the frame and trailer to sit on? A very small amount of pitch - 3/16" per foot would suffice for the inner portion... -
Here is my new seat. Some 2X4 to make it level. It was free from stuff i saved and will work for now. The old seat was shot and I think it held about 50 gallons of water in it.

WHEEL HORSE TORO -REAR BAGGER
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to 1972LEMONS's topic in Implements and Attachments
Is what you have part of a 1992 model 07-4XVC01? That is a vacuum bagger with blower that fit the 300, 400 and 500-Series tractors. There was a bagger option for the 32" and 37" 2-blade side-discharge mowers that did not use a blower. They relied on paddles on the right blade to force the debris through the tube. -
Camper cover building construction thread
ebinmaine posted a topic in non tractor related discussion
In October of 2025 we bought ourselves a new camper. Smallest least expensive model we could get and yet still more than we needed in features. We had it tarp covered last winter and always intended to build a hard sided structure. Both Trina and I are firm believers that campers (and many other things) should be protected from the sun and precipitation as often as possible. After waiting patiently for about 10 months to get an excavator here for site prep, we're finally ready to get our part of the building process going. The camper living space box is approximately 13' long by 8' wide. Add the hitch and we need a 16' minimum storage length. After a fair bit of reading and searching we decided on this metal framed unit for the beginning of the structure. At 14' x 20' this will be more than large enough for the camper trailer and several extras. Other pieces of equipment and tools will also be stored here. Once the above pictured structure is built we'll add the rest of the metal to fully enclose it. There will be large doors both front and rear. Here's a few pics showing the proposed location of the new camper cover building. This would allow us to drive a tractor out the back side of the building because it's about 8' from the drop off by the trees. It would also allow us to drive a tractor along the right side of the building and be able to use the ramp our excavator operator left for us. That ramp is to the right of the 3 trees at pic center, and curls around to the left and behind them. This pic shows proximity to the house. Better zoom. The openings of the ends are 14.3' according to the online pics. 20 foot front to rear. 14.8' to top middle peak. The blue flags are for the Code Enforcement Officer to see so he knows we actually measured. Not guessed. 75 feet is the minimum amount of setback. We'll have about 79' to the angled support leg closest to the road. Today I ordered a set of 16 mobile home anchors. These are USA 🇺🇸 MADE. 30" depth with a 4" round fan width. By the chart I found we should use 12 of them for a 130 MPH wind resistance. If we get a realistic half that it'll be fine. One big thing to figure out will be how to open the front for the full 14' wide and 13 ish foot tall door. -
Agreed - no need to do a backflip!

I cannot find the screen I was thinking about but if I run across it in next day or two will let you know.. Great job on muffler relocation.

No, I didn't bid on it, I wasn't even at the auction when it started. I was looking for a specific item, and I wasn't impressed with the items that might have filled the bill. There were a lot of other things my money would have went for over the Wheel Horse, but I was trying to be picky and was only going to put money down on what I came for. The Ford 640 would have been a nice buy, or the Massey Ferguson 35, but I wasn't in the market for another tractor.

I have added seat slides to the two tractors I maintain that have users with both compact and elongated statures. The slides have 6” of travel that I positioned to 3 in each direction from stock. Do be careful not to position the operator’s weight too far to the rear--the stock position is pretty much directly over the rear axle.

One of these suitable Bumper for 856?
CRF857 replied to FLtractor's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The “bumper” on my Cub Cadet is actually the drawbar for a Cub Lo-Boy. -
Why of course! 😃 May have access to some used metal roofing/siding. Depends on pricing.

Great grandson was here for a couple hours. 28 months old. We went for a ride with great grandmother sitting with him. Drove the custom Cub Cadet 1864. He is still leery when you fire up but loved the ride around town. Waved at everybody. Went to the drive up at the bank and got a dum dum sucker. Then went to the drive up at the village office and got another one. After that we stopped at a local resale shop where the elderly lady who owns it made over him and he left with a chocolate bar. After we got back home he was wanting to go again. He wouldn’t pose for a picture.

E. All of the above.

There is a Toro dealer about twenty miles from me. On Monday I was going to be within ten miles of it and made the side trip there. Asked if they had any clunkers out back they wanted to get rid of. I didn’t need a runner, didn’t care about engines or hydros. The two owners just stared at me for a few seconds, then said follow us. Showed me a Toro Time Cutter 4235. No engine. Said they had just unloaded it 5 minutes before I got there. $20 and ten minutes later it was in the back of my truck. Took it home and stripped it. Talked to the owner of the local mower repair shop. He took the hydros, wiring harness, rear bumper and rear shield, and the two struts. Wouldn’t take anything for it since he takes care of me with parts and mowers. Went through my steel and came up with enough to fab a rear axle and tongue. Got done and gave it a test drive just before the rain came. Clean up and paint next. Then decide if it will be a flat bed/hay rack or put sides on it and make a wagon. Thing is I don’t need any of those. Just wanted to make something.
