Hauled Home a Beautiful 312-8
Brockport Bill replied to Mike'sHorseBarn's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
bought the 312-8 new in '89 - with the 37 deck and bagger - plus the plow, tiller, cart, roller etc - amazing machine ! I often wonder if the 312 was model WH made the most of and sold most? Seems to be so common across the WH universe ? -
'73 Electros did. I have two. Sundstrand.

Put the mid mount grader that I got from @Pullstart on it this evening, I need to get a longer lift link though as it doesn't go all they way to the floor. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

It’s good to have friends in this hobby Don! Actually the reason I had to remove the ag’s was because the wheels on the 42” deck wouldn’t clear. -
Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !

@Darrenw85 We are going to need more, several more pictures of that beautiful 867 that you restored. Outstanding job 👍🏻 -

@Sparky I would not put those 23x10.50-12 ag tires back on your 520. You have a nice lawn and I’d hate to see you mess it up. Instead of you having to worry about storing those rims and tires I’d be more than happy to come and get them. This way it will help you with storage space. I’m just trying to help you out here Mike!😂 Work with me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 -
Thank you

Nice job!

Changed hydraulic oil filter on the C161 that seems to have been neglected on anything maintenance related... Found out it was quite past due - Yesterday

I'm not too familiar with diesel engines have never personally owned one but it seems that the newer ones are more delicate than the old ones. Our farm bought a ten year old tractor (pre-special fuel additive was desired by my brother who is the main operator). The tractor had only a little over 2,000 hours and after one year's ownership we spent $4.500 replacing the four injectors. Apparently this is not uncommon with the high pressure injection now used. If the engine isn't working hard enough, the motor will idle down and no work can be done until the particulate is burned out of the exhaust. It's a nice tractor and runs great but way too complicated. On the other hand we have a smaller tractor dad bought new in 1983 and it's never had any issues that I'm aware of that required it to be returned to the shop for repair. That's the one I use-nice and simple. It does put out a little diesel smoke a certain times but for the most part there's no telltale exhaust smoke. Maybe there's pollution that not evident visually but it's surely been dependable and cheap to operate. However, my '71 El Camino would have been used up at 100,000 miles. I certainly wouldn't have considered buying a used one at that time with 60K miles. My last vehicle purchase had 180,000 miles and I'm still driving it. Modern materials and machining is amazing.

No, they will just go back to the power robbing air pumps to "clean up the exhaust." Wonder if those pesky particles would stick to lead if we added it to gas.
-
Can't say for sure but my guess is his Sundstrand would have the same bolt pattern as the three speed did in '65. Differential wouldn't matter.
-
That machine was certainly someone's pride and joy.

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

Today, I mowed the Fire Station and my lawn with the 312. I also heated up and circulated all the oil in the C-141. The local church was painting the inside of the station so I have to go back for some touch up probably tomorrow or Tuesday. The trucks and some stuff were out so it limited where I could mow, I got most of it though. -
When I built our house I put in a LOT of blocking in all the shower walls. When it came time to install the grab bars I used foam double stick tape to hold them in place while drilling and mounting.

@8ntruck be careful!!!

I couldn’t decide so, a two fer….for SSS. -
Spent the last few days making my tractor more Wisconsin. Now I need to get it some cheese curds. I put the wheelweights I bought from @WHX?? at the show on and went through the RM-425 deck I got from @Achto and put it on too. This deck was the nicest deck I've ever gone though so far. None of the bearings were seized and all of the grease looked good but I still cleaned it up and put some fresh Lucas green in it. The nla double-d blades looked like they had either never been sharpened or sharpened very little.
-
I have a local guy that has a bunch of wheel horses. if i knew for sure i could try to get one from him.

It's so satisfying to be able to start and drive a project that you put together and have nothing go wrong -
We slept in, went over to Crystal Lake Diner for brunch, walked the dog, and finished several small projects that were cluttering up my bench - there is actually a fair sized empty spot on it now. One of the projects was finishing reassembling my Red Ryder. Last fall it quit shooting. When I did get it to shoot once, the barrel plug/sight and shot tube came out and landed about 8 feet away. Total tear down and search for parts. Ended up with a new shot tube, barrel plug (with a 'fiber optic sight'!), new air tube, new plunger seal. Once I figured out how to make a dependable spring compressor, it went together. It did shoot bb's - at a very low velocity. It was not producing an air pulse when fired. Took it back apart and compared the new plunger seal to the old one. Was about 1/16" smaller in diameter. Put the old seal back in and it is working like it should. Needs to be sighted back in, probably due to the new shot tube and front sight.

What's in His Mirror ???
Pullstart replied to stevebo-(Moderator)'s topic in non tractor related discussion
This 1054 hasn’t been mine for more than a year, almost 2 I think. Today it went home. I added in the trailer because I was a bit heavy. The 54” plow I traded him for some other stuff and the walk behind snowblower was a freebie to me and on to him. -
I am very sure they all do 1968-72 There were hydro gear in the no names but I am not sure what differential they had.
