    What hitch is this?

    Looks like a J.C. Whitney universal bumper add on hitch so you can tow a 10,000lb. trailer with 67 Dodge Dart!

    I'm sure your wife is happy you don't have as many snow blades as you do flashlights!

    Today is….

    .. NATIONAL FLASHLIGHT DAY!!! @953 nut how could you have missed this one . Yeah yeah, maybe it’s because I have 200 or so old flashlights here, many are over 100 years old. “National Flashlight Day is celebrated on December 21, coinciding with the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. This day highlights the importance of flashlights, a simple yet essential tool in our lives. Originating from the invention of the dry cell battery and the mini incandescent light bulb, flashlights have illuminated our paths in darkness and served various practical purposes. National Flashlight Day not only celebrates the utility of the flashlight but also aligns with the winter solstice, emphasizing the significance of light during the darkest times.”

    Happy Winter Solstice!

    Both occur on the same day. This is very interesting. I'll look up what ours is. Not sure if or how it varies by region.

    Happy Winter Solstice!

    Is it the longest night or the shortest day? In spite of being the shortest day (or longest night) we will not have the latest sunrise of the year or the earliest sunset of the year today. January 5 was the latest sunrise (7:27 AM) and the earliest sunset took place two weeks ago on December 7 (4:45 PM).

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Only you are really going to notice, if someone notices just tell them "It must have been almost quitting time at the factory on Friday". The only problem is, the deck may be more prone to scalping the lawn on the left side.
  13. On December twenty-first we pay homage to Phileas Fogg Win a Wager Day. Phileas Fogg Win a Wager Day celebrates the moment Phileas Fogg completed his thrilling adventure around the world. In Jules Verne’s famous novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, Fogg bet £20,000 that he could circle the globe in just 80 days, a challenge that seemed impossible to many. This day captures the excitement and anticipation as he triumphantly returned to London, proving his doubters wrong and securing his place in literary history. The journey is filled with obstacles, surprises, and a race against time, making the conclusion all the more satisfying.

    What hitch is this?

    I don't believe that one fits most WH tractors. You can use it to pull a trailer with a pin or install a ball type hitch. Most Wheelhorses have a "tab hitch" at the back. There'll be a similar setup to the one pictured above. Does your own tractor have a hitch? Do you want one? I have several extras...
  15. For several thousand years the longest and shortest days of the year have been celebrated. "Midwinter" as today is known, is a celebration of the days beginning to lengthen for the next few months. Look forward to literal and figurative Brighter days. Happy Midwinter!!
  16. My father back in the 60s and early 70s had one. Did a lot of work with that.

    1997 Ford NH 1715

    Hi, Steve. I almost bought a 1000, and then a 1600, last year. But both had issues. And before I bought this 1715, I was looking at a 1700 and a 1500. Right now, along with this 1715, I have a 1310 4WD. I think these Shibaura built Fords are very underrated and often overlooked, as more people tend to gyrate towards the Kubotas and Yanmars. I made a slideshow of the Ford compact tractors starting with the 1000 that came out in 1973. Also, I'm attaching a picture of my 1310. The most interesting one was the 1710 Offset, shades of a Farmall cultivision or a Ford 541 from back in the day. Ford_Compact_Tractors_Presentation_merge.pdf
  19. Agreed. But the risk factor for damaging the frame, yourself, and possible misalignment goes up. As I mentioned in the first panel, I too considered this method..... I already had the tractor disassembled, and the ShopSmith.... so, why not? I'd rather post this in the "Customization & Modifications" section than in "Bumps & Bruises".

    What hitch is this?

    Evening, Came across this on marketplace, wondering if anyone can tell or show me how it is used to tow and or with implements, are they common or sought after? Haven’t ever seen one myself

    856 aftermarket carb/choke adjustment help

    Thank you for the descriptive help and pictures
  23. I can be done with less, I just used my 50 year old 1/2" drill. [/url I also did the same with the PTO shaft while I working on my C-120.

    D-200 Hopefully my last!

    My 1974 D200 has the slot head tow valve.

    D-200 Hopefully my last!

    Ok.....hope da Bear has spotted what he thinks he's spotted! I saw an old D-200 (tall gas tank) up against a tree in neighbors yard. Hood is off.... Covered in branches and snow...... I have seen my prey......now I bide my time until I see owner outside in the yard. (I don't want to be the stranger knocking on doors at inconvenient times for homeowner). I might be able to bag a parts tractor if the price is right (insert evil laugh)

    D-200 Hopefully my last!

    You're on the right track! The Dunning-Kruger Effect The less you know, the more confident you feel. As you learn more, you realize how much you don't know. Ignorance fosters confidence, while mastery leads to humility.

    D-200 Hopefully my last!

    I have been reading about the tow valve in the pdf manual. It should be a "square" similar to the one I post in photo below. However, mine is not! Mine appears to be a standard slotted screw. Is this an indication of someone in the past unable to open tow valve and shearing off the "square"??
