That is a cool slice of history. Dave

And for each child receiving a dividend, they will no longer be able to file a 1040-EZ because they’ll have also received a 1099 and have to report the income. Bonus for tax preparers ahead! I wonder, too, if this isn’t also a path to Musk’s companies gaining personal information, including SSNs, about millions of child stockholders.

C120 strikes again... Setback #5, (I think)
squonk replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I use Mobil 1 10W-40 in my C-160 piston piston Sundstrand. I had a lurching / bucking issue shortly after I got it about 15 yrs. ago. I had to replace the hydro motor half of the trans. The pump is a bit tired. On hot days I ran an oil temp check and it got up to 160° The heavier weight oil improved performance on hills after it got hot. -
How many John Deere owners does it take to screw in a light bulb? Just one to hold the bulb while the world revolves around him.

I thought he went back to the future!?!?!

Fun fact, this is 6V NEGATIVE Ground. Couldn't believe it until I was looking at it lol

The Fredericksburg Tractor Club has an American Austin Tractor donated to it by a deceased members wife. It is well built and reportedly was a prototype of a tractor that never made it to production. It has a similar looking 4 cyl engine, and a gear reduction after the transmission. Has the same "Austin" badge in the front of the hood So interesting similarities.

Thanks for the great write up and pics @Andy N.! We went to this Plow Day in 2020 and had a really good time although it was cold and windy. I got some great footage of @Coulter Calebplowing and the moldboards shined up like a mirror in that soil. If moisture conditions are correct-that soil cuts and scours awesome. Sorry to hear about the “breakdowns” but that’s “in the cards” for a true plow dog! Thats why I recommend a dedicated Plow Mule if an individual is going to do a lot of earth turning… starting out as a Cub guy in the GT hobby, I really enjoy seeing the variety of Cubs out there at the plow days however, when I met the RS forum group—these horses grew on me. Plowing is common in the Cadet and JD communities but it wasn’t as common with the horses back in 2014…so I built GhostRider to see how it would work out—no complaints! overall, the Cub community has been friendly to the Horse club (at least that has been my perception) I love the IH trucks. Not uncommon to see one of these pulling a trailer with period correct Cadets on it😎 I always thought this little custom 71 was a well executed study into what a custom plow mule CC would look like in red instead of yellow. Dan’s @Achto Radpherd reminds me of this only cooler with diesel power! I always enjoy looking at custom articulated machines…can wait to see @Shynon’s in person one of these days. this one back in 2020 did a decent job. for those of you that have kids that enjoy doing stuff with you as they are in late adolescence or early teens—CLEAR your schedule as much as you can and make these memories WHILE you can. They grow up FAST! Caleb is now married and has a busy life of his own. I’m so glad we did these things when we could Now that’s a shine that puts a smile on any true “plow dog’s” face! Turning earth is a truly fun experience…

Wow....what was he doing? Mowing through a stump field? I think I would cut my losses with those unfortunately. Even if you got them back to "straightish", I doubt they would balance well with that much damage. I tend to collect old mower blades and use them as sacrificial anodes in my electrolysis tank.

@Ed Kennell we expect to see how you're gonna fit them into buckets for next year's Show.
-
I'd like to add one of those to my collection someday. Great find!

Does he know where parts can be had? Side note for everyone. It was never wired up to charge, so I'm thinking of adding a mini 6v alternator, rather than try to rebuild the weird generator and add in some kind of voltage regulator. Then once I have that, I can add some lights.

YES Spell checker did it again and I didn't proof read it.

Austin and Bantam in Ohio were the predecessors of the Jeep protype. I would think replacement parts would be available. Very cool tractor! Dave

Heard something on the news about Elon Musk giving one share of "Spacex" stock to every child under 18, I'm too old and had to buy my own Spacex stock.

C120 strikes again... Setback #5, (I think)
953 nut replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I have always heard that Type F is better for racing applications because it has no friction modifiers and less slippage but I'm not sure that it would be an advantage in a Sundstrand since it hasn't got clutches like an automotive transmission. Dex Merc is good old Dexron which is what Sundstrands left the factory with, that having been said I had a few quarte of type F on the shelf and used them in the GT-14 with no issues. Mike @squonk has posted in the past that 10-W-40 improved the performance on his Sundstrand, he may be able to add to this question. -

Stick with whatever is in the tranny. Flushing wastes a lot of time and fluid. There is no noticeable performance difference Motor oil verses Dex/Merc ATF -
Cool mower. A first for me, never seen a WH push mower before. Closest thing to WH push mower Ive seen around here is when I run one of my tractors out of fuel and had to push it back to shop .

15” 6 lug wheels (wheel weight size)
953 nut replied to Chav88's topic in Implements and Attachments
Some "D" models were equipped with optional 15" rims and all "C-195" came with six lug 15" rims. WW-105 fits outside the 15" rim and is probably what you would want, IF you can find them. -
@Pullstart perfect opportunity ? that paint stage? RETAIN ORIGINAL PATINA ? marvel mystery oil , spray down soaking , let it soak for days weeks , as it darkens , re spray , only dare touch it with a clean fresh oiled cloth . no hard rubbing , just seeing what soaking lube recovers , done a lot of it , DARE TO TRY A SPOT , thats how I started , pete

In Florida the mowing season is about ten months and blades need sharpening about three times a season, by then the back uplift lip is gone and you are mowing with thin knives. Over the years I added compost to the yard and the sand wasn't a problem anymore.

@Ed Kennell definitely had the style of the era , in todays world , a turbo 4 would absolutely make that , lots of related make up parts , seen a few in vegas , weekly parking lot car shows , and related storage warehouses , were stuffed with Duesenberg's , etc of the era. incredible original , solid rust free cars . pete
