finally got a deck for the c145. It runs well but I’m wondering how tight the mule drive should be.

I had the opportunity to attend a short course today on tractor safety . The Badger Steam & Gas Engine Club put this on as a requirement for all juniors who wish to drive a tractor around on club grounds at their show. https://badgersteamandgas.com/ Rightfully so since any given accidents can shut a show down without a question. Interesting and since I am committed to give a presentation at other shows this was a note taking experience for me in my quest for being a certified instructor. This was mostly centered around big tractors but it still applies to GTs. Lots of farm safety included with loading, tieing down, and grain bin safety.

A Sundstrand with one inch axles? -
I received the rebuild kit for the fuel pump today that I ordered from Then and Now Automotive.... thought I would document here which kit was for this pump.... it is AC-43. I didn't see it on their site, but when I called them, they said they had what I needed. I hope this helps someone else down the road.

Those wrenches are made from peanut butter, use them as wall hangers and buy a yard sale wrench that may need to be ground thinner.

This morning I ran the boy around to gather up parts for his rototiller project. In that process we both learned how to re-rope a @Pullstart recoil. Then we went to the soccer game, ran him to his GF's one house, came home, mowed and split wood, changed oil for the neighbor, wife ran the repaired tiller through our garden to make sure it worked properly, then after dinner we took the tiller back and got the boy.

Went to one of the robotics team members senior open house today. After walking the dog and eating lunch, I attacked the deck again. Between the heat and the cold I picked up at the world championships in Houston a couple weeks back, I ran out of energy before I ran out of deck to tear apart. Didn't get as far as I wanted. Oh well, the deck will still be here when we get back. When we bought the house, the realtor mentioned that there was a cistern somewhere on the property. I think I found it this afternoon while I was prying the floorboards off of the deck. There looks to be a large (2 1/2' x 3 1/2') concrete hatch under the deck. Probably ought to break the sides around the top of it to a foot below grade and backfill it with gravel. Then again, I could just build the new deck over the top of it like the old deck was.

Not a chance in hell Ed Dog... more on the class in another thread. Suffice to say i didn't get a dang thing done on horses today but did get to watch @Achto whack on a busted up hub. Yup saws all came out. @Chris689 he's dipping into my stock of 1" hubs. -
Continued the fight to have a nice clear tree line today. Finally got the chipper over and chipped round 1 all up. Took about 6 hours. Tomorrow or the day after depends how I feel Ill continue clearing out sucker trees and dead limbs and chip them up as well. Hope everyone had a great day! Now to go eat some home made potato salad and pass out!

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

A little tail light security. My new led taillights work great but one of them was a little to easy to remove the lens on so thought I would add a little security and put a. #6 screw through lens and base. -
That I can believe! ( There probably wasn't much room for her. Did she sit on your lap? )

Made a little 3-hour road trip to pick up this '74 C-160 Automatic. Everything feels tight, no slop in the steering or drive tensioner. no leaks. K341 Purrs like a kitten. When I got it home, the thing was dead as a door nail. I though "Oh Crap"! Turns out I had just never owned a tractor that still had all of the safety switches working properly. Pressed the brake and double checked the motion lever - BOOM fired right up. Heck, even the internal parking pawl still engages!

Kind of a long read here, but I wanted to share a funny story. About a month ago my folks and I were coming back from TN hauling a trailer and we got some bad diesel at a shell station. The truck threw a "water in fuel" code and went into limp mode. We got to the walmart parking lot in Whythville and changed the fuel filter and siphoned out all the bad diesel. We were back on the road, but the truck was making some weird noises. Not being familiar with diesels, we decided to call AAA and tow the truck back to the house. The towing contractor was actually in the same gas sation where we were parked. So when the guy got the call, he walked over and introduced himself. We only had coverage for the truck, not the truck and the trailer (lesson learned). So the driver helped us come up with a solution to get the trailer home. Anyways, mom (who is introverted) and I loaded up in the single cab with the driver, and dad waited for another truck to haul the trailer. Well, I'm pretty extraverted, so we weren't 3 minutes into 1 hour drive and I decided I wasn't going to sit through that long of time with small talk. I started asking the driver questions in effort to find something to talk about. It didn't take long before he mentioned that he had been working on his "vintage lawn tractors" that day before coming to work. I said, " it wasn't wheel horses was it?" And he turned and looked at me like I was santa claus. My mom was relieved that she didn't have to say a word for the rest of the ride, and I had some great conversation! He has several different lawn tractors, including some odd ball brands. The wheel horse he is working on now is a D200. I talked about the big show and how awesome the people were in the hobby. I tried to convince him to head to the big show this June and also to join red square! So Josh, if you are out there, come out to Biglerville next month! Hope to see you there!

Went for electric bike ride this afternoon along the abandoned Fresno RR tracks that was made into a bicycle trail.. Our destination was Graydon Springs about half way between Bolivar and Springfield Missouri. The signboard was too faded to clearly read but one sentence that stood out was "Graydon Springs water won first prize for mineral content and purity at 1904 St. Louis World's Fair." Graydon Springs is now a dead RR town that folks used to travel to for the mineral water spring. We had no idea of the first place win at the world's fair for such a small town. The photo is one I found on Facebook and is much clearer than the one we tried to read along the tracks.
