401 Suburban Resto
Eriks Red horse herd replied to Achto's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Yes it's a Wheel Horse plow but for a later walk behind tractor 1954-56. They used 8 inch plow made by Brinly . Early 1953 and earlier model's used a 7 inch plow. You can tell it's for a Walk behind tractor because of the long slot hitch tongue even though they didn't have a true slt hitch like the 4 wheel tractors. The Rj 35 on up used a shorter tongue -
i have seen them in the WH brochure's years back . I think they were available on a 200 series tractor, not 300, 400 or 500 series. @mae

1973 16 HP horse with FEL & weight box
HyperPete commented on HyperPete's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
Nope, sorry, it's sold. It will be changed from "pending" in a couple of weeks. -
Wondering if anyone out there has one or has seen one. Just remembered getting one when I worked inside the South Bend HQ in the mid 1980’s. Don’t recall who gave it to me but pretty sure it was a gift. Will post a photo when I get my hands on it this week. Don’t recall it ever being used or even opened up for that matter.

Tell us the pros and cons of this splitter

We've had the same thought. I'm curious to know if or how Boss compensates for that. -
1 1/8 axle with a new bearing will have .002 to .003 play

The only thing I have an issue with is, the piston is under the wedge, not behind it. Looks like a weak point to me. I guess you couldn't have a 2 way that way. Might work out fine. The proof is in the pudding. -
I put it away in December, ran fine, no smoke, didn't use oil. In February it wouldn't start, it had fuel, air, and spark, might be valve issue. I took to a small engine shop and they said it was .003 out of round/taper, but it ran good before. They disassembled the engine and told me it was going to cost way more than I wanted to spend so its for sale to anyone wanting to reassemble the engine or repower it. I has a rear 3 point, rear PTO, manual front PTO clutch, seat, both lift cylinders, hood, grille with working lights, rear tires and wheels are like new. If no ones interested I'll part it out on eBay

But I can win in a gas pissing contest, so there’s that! I think I found my new transfer pump.
-
That's a little too much for a carbureted engine. Especially a smaller size. 1 to 4 PSI is the standard.
-
I've decide to sell the D-160 and let someone either repower it or put the engine back together. I'll list it locally and on the classifieds here. The shop said it was .003 out of round/taper, but it did not smoke or use oil. I've bought another D series for 2000.00, seemed the better deal
-
Could be, I got the 5-9psi unit.

16 horse Kohler single, It ran good a month earlier, no smoke or no use of oil, plenty of power. I'm going to sell the tractor, I bought another one

It automatically goes back after full cycle. It's not capable of splitting upright, it don't have the wedge on the piston. The wedge needs to be on the piston in order to split both ways. When I had very big rounds I would lower the front kickstand. I got it used thirty plus years ago.. I would guess it was at least ten years old then. Hope that helps. It never failed me. -
You’ll succeed just fine if you replace ALL of what's needing to be done.
-
Thanks, I'm going to sell the tractor. I'm listing it in the classifieds for 600
-
I cut the power wire and start wire off the nine pin solder each back together and taped them up. Haven't had a problem with the other wires. I also installed capped rubber fuse holders.
-
I know! I’m probably about to fail to fix this danged fuel system one more time yet again!

Was that a dual action setup? -

The Boss looks a lot like my old Mackinaw splitter. -
Because I'm adding two rear sections of the tank together there was a gap at the very back bottom of the trailer. I used sheet styrene to fill the area. Two small pieces for the sides and a larger section in the middle.

Here's a screenshot Trina created on her PC. This shows the overall structural rigidity and ergonomic setup of both machines so you can see why she prefers the Boss model. Of note: The control lever of the Boss is in the center. The Predator has a one sided operation setup. Being able to operate a machine from either side is a HUGE consideration. See the standing structure of each machine. There are several pivot points on the Predator that don't exist on the Boss. Those are areas of concern because of additional wear & tear along with overall stability during operation.
