I had a little 1990 210H with a 10HP Briggsy, Mowed, plowed snow, pulled down small trees and even adapted an Allis Chalmers snowblower to it. Ran it for 20 years before I sold it, Put a tie rod end and a diode into it and that was it. Guy I sold it to pretty much thrashed it.

I'm afraid so ... the hole would buff right out with some AL or JB weld. it's the damage inside that scrapped it. I'll still crack the cases just to see. Inquiring minds wanna know. These were very popular tractors in Toro's ending of . A fair motor too until Briggs went south. That is true but my same 26 year old vertical is still in pristine shape and always has been a daily mower. Makes a guy wonder if he took good care of todays big box mowers it would still be operating in 26 years? Point of the whole story is check the dammed OIL!!!

IF you are going for improved brightness, LED's are the way to go. You get more brightness with less amp draw & way less heat. Whatever you use, do spend some time upgrading the back reflective surfaces of the headlight buckets. Silver foil self stick tape, or flat white paint both work well.....

Being that you are basically in the same weather area as me, if I had to wait for perfect grass-cutting weather, it would never get done. The difference though between you and me is that I would have just hosed the tractor/mower off until next time. However, your rig looks great.

Thinking about selling my 1054. Has patina lol, runs and drives well, all lights work. Hydraulic cylinder leaks and gen light is always on. Comes with a 54” plow with the factory wheel weights, pro, original seat is missing of course. Just look to see how much you guys would list it for before I post in the classified section.

So, after breaking my #1 cardinal rule when it comes to cutting the lawn, “grass must be 100% totally dry before cutting”. Broken out of necessity due to upcoming business travel next week I had to cut the grass this past Thursday so I can cut Tuesday next week before I leave on Wednesday morning. The skies were sketchy but I decided to go for it. 10 minutes in, those skies started raining, figured oh well, here we go. By the time I was finished mowing the damage was done, my tractor looked like a big green booger. So I hosed it off and sprayed under the deck the best I could, but knowing that as anal as I am I needed to remove the deck for a thorough cleaning and boy am I glad I did. Getting the deck off was the fun part, my shoulder is still in the healing process from my rotator cuff surgery in January. So borrowing the idea from a few fellas here, I used my garage hoist and lifted the front end up and rolled it out for a proper cleaning. And will roll it back in under here in a few minutes. Have a great weekend!

Ah, the high milage accessory crankcase vent.... (As Marvin the Martian said... "And there was a big Kaboom!!") That engine is wasteacated. Maybe that Oh-so-efficient Fram spin on oil filter can be cleaned of the chunks and reused??? So it is my guesstimation that the crank came to a sudden stop at speed and the flywheel above said "I'm not done yet" and kept going??

The Things People Toss…
MainelyWheelhorse replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in non tractor related discussion
A few free projects redone during the pandemic. The swing and wheelbarrow were literally sitting on a dump pile. The trailer was in a field behind my brother’s house. A little paint, new wood, wheels and some stain and voila usable. My parents have the swing. I still have the wheelbarrow as I figured I’d use it. And I use the trailer pretty steadily from spring to fall. -
Kohler propane conversion
bds1984 replied to Stan50's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Propane burns much cleaner than gasoline. I've grown up around propane powered Ford Trucks, both carbureted and fuel injected and the occasional John Deere 720 & Farmall that also ran off propane. The only downside was difficulty starting in extremely cold temperatures since propane has a boiling point of -42°C/-44°F which occasionally caused the regulators/vaporizers to ice up/vapor lock. -

I’ve got Par 36 LED landscape lights on my 308 and 312. They can be found at Home Depot, possibly Lowe’s and Amazon to name a few places. They vary in price and intensity it all depends on how much you want to spend. My C-141 has 1156 marker lights you can find at any auto parts store.

Coffee on a dreary day
MainelyWheelhorse replied to nylyon-(Admin)'s topic in non tractor related discussion
My coffee cup. It’s more like a cup and 1/4 as I can fit a standard size cup inside it. It works well for those days at work where I’m going into work at 6:30 AM. My aunt made it. I’ve also got an Apple Computer one and a Wheel Horse Collector one I use sometimes for coffee and other times for cereal. I made the same way as the ones that were at the M&G last year. -
Nice catch! Bought a snow plow and got a free tractor.

I would say it depends on your need for headlights. Having no need for them at night I just wanted some to make the front end look better on my 312-8. The local auto parts store had what I required. If you want better illumination for night time plowing then others on here have better options that are pricier but brighter. Thew will chime in or try a search for LED lights.

Grape jelly and an orange. They do go through a lot. I stop feeding them about mid summer so the young ones will get more protein rich goodies and be better prepared for migration.
