Snowblower Deflector Actuator
c-series don replied to TheMooseIsLoose's topic in Implements and Attachments
I need to do the same thing on my two stage. I don’t mind the manual crank to turn the chute, it works easy and fast. But I’d like to change the deflector from inside the cab! Seems like this might be a good time to post one of my favorite videos! My wife took it back in January. IMG_4058.mov -
Day early but if I don't post it now I will forget to tomorrow. Added a Brinly hitch to Vince the 1257 and. Put the turning plow on.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Bar Nuthin replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Tomorrow, I'll see if I can get some pictures that show the massive scale of the event. Garden tractors are only a small segment. Acres and acres of swap meet vendors, antique tractors, hit and miss engines, food vendors, consignment barn... -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Added some liquid ballast and installed some new front wheel bearings on “Vince” the 1257. Installed some thrust bearings on front spindles also. Did improve ease of steering. -
Latest update. My house is now gutted so the structure can be inspected. Needless to say it looks a little different inside...
-
Those holders will be here soon.
-
Or try to flip it for $5000 more than what they pay for it... "Super rare, professionally restored".

One question: Where's the 10 mm?

I started the remodel of our new ALiner Scout pop up camper today. Got to make sleeping quarters for the dog. The plan is to convert the cupboard under the sink into a crate for the dog. This will involve removing the sink, plumbing, and refrigerator, and rebuilding it into a dog crate. Basically, I will end up building a new front panel for the cupboard and give the inside of the cupboard a more complete finish. In all of the camping vehicles we have had over the years, we have never cooked inside any of them. We don't plan to start now. Demolition is done. Now we will start gathering materials to put it back together. Pictures to follow. Of course, this project produces another project. The refrigerator that came out of the ALiner is a 12 volt compressor type. We will reinstall that in our Coleman travel trailer in place of the 3 way refrigerator that is there. We have very unimpressed with the performance of that refrigerator. This will require cabinet work, propane piping work, and electrical work.

My 1/4 drive sockets have been on the below pictured cheap 💩 chrome rails for yyeeeaarrs. I've thought about getting actual big boy holders pretty much that whole time. Today I got these nifty blue magnetic holders. MUCH better. No more falling rolling sockets.

I can fix that .

Impressive. I'll take 2 of those please! -
This company has permits to obtain water from a hydrant. It was 10,000 gallons of fresh never been peed in water. @SylvanLakeWH

C120 evolve to.. C140 Custom

I have a 48" deck that a PO trimmed the chute back square on. I think it was @kpinnc who told me that some do that to help with discharge of the cuttings. I don't mow much so not much of a frame of reference to offer but others might be familiar and have experience with that. -
Penetrol (Before and After)
ineedanother replied to squonk's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I use it and it stays tacky for a couple days but dries completely and seems to last. I've been tempted to wax over it to see what that does but haven't yet. -
I have tried mowing in all the gears and wide open on the rpm the slower you go the better the cut but then it will take me a week to mow, I did not think about spindle length and that it could have been swapped out I will definitely check that and try mowing with out the insert

Penetrol (Before and After)
EB-80/8inPA replied to squonk's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I did the hood of the B-80 a couple weeks ago just to see how it would go. Smeared it in evenly with a rag, let it set a while and rubbed off the excess. It’s not as shiny looking as yours looks in the pics, but made a huge improvement Now I gotta do a complete cleaning and treatment. It’s good stuff! No more dust catching oilings for me. -
@lynnmor thanks for posting that manual I knew I had seen that somewhere before but forgot where and thought I was going crazy.

You know that if you drop a socket, it will roll to the exact geographic center of the vehicle you're working on. It's physics.

Mower Deck for 1987-1989 414-8
bradleydavidgood replied to bradleydavidgood's topic in Implements and Attachments
Previously my tractor was identified as 87-89. Apparently there was a different engine in 1987 than 88-89.... 1987 Wheel Horse model: 31-14K802 Engine: Kohler M14S-601524 Factory charging system: 3-amp dual-output, unregulated No conventional 15-amp voltage regulator. Factory headlights are powered directly from the engine's AC stator circuit and normally work only while the engine is running. 1988 Wheel Horse model: 31-14K803 Engine: Kohler M14S-601540 15-amp regulated charging system 1989 Wheel Horse model: 31-14K804 Engine: Kohler M14S-601540 15-amp regulated charging system If you guys can't identify the engine exactly from the pictures, then maybe we can do it by looking for the regulated charging system. Thanks - Yesterday

BBT agrees. My first Horse was a '74 B80. 4 speed. Same thing... almost. Excellent heavy stuff puller.

A guy I went to school with had a company that made coveralls with magnetic mats placed inside the fabric in the chest and upper legs so that you could just stick stuff right to yourself. Didn't really catch on, I think the price-point was too high, and now he runs a successful stump removal business.

C120 evolve to.. C140 Custom
sgtsampay replied to sgtsampay's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I’m thankful I haven’t had any sneezing fits yet. Yes that’s stupid weed stuff goes everywhere! I hope this weekend to get some more mowing in.. tomorrow the muffler will be here. Update: To counter the slowing down of the deck under heavy load I confirmed the pro is aligned correctly. I also did two turns on the pto rod to get it to an air gap of .012. So we will see if that helps. I also found one barely loose engine mounting bolt. I corrected this and confirmed they are all right. So now we will see if that makes any difference.
