1969 Raider vs 1973 8-8 Hoodstand Question
ebinmaine replied to oliver2-44's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
We don't have either of those specific models here but I'm about 95% sure that'll bolt right on. My only question would be the height. I >think< they're the same. All the mounting bolt holes should be identical. - Today

Got the cab at least sitting on the machine. Injection pump is still weeping fuel from the bleed off line on the top cover, though, to be fair, the crush washers have been removed and retightened like 4 times now. I have a plan for brackets, the pedal modifications, and the floor brackets. It's all going to be tight in terms of fit but I think it'll all work out.

One thing I have noticed with the students involved with the robotics team I've mentored is how it helped some students realize that what they thought they wanted to do, they really didn't like. Some were talking about going for an engineering degree, then realized that something else was what they wanted - as.an example, some went into trades, some into medical fields, and some into social work. I agree - a college degree is not a universal need.

We've been working on a camp shower and toilet building on our Ky. property the last few days. Got it essentially done today. We spent our first night in our woods in our A Liner camper last night. We were planning on spending tonight too, but that didn't work out. The camper was a bit out of level - a slight feet low when laying in bed. I thought it was OK, considering it took a stack of five 2x6's under the left wheel to get it there. Mrs 8n wanted to move it uphill to a much flatter spot for tonight. Didn't work out too well. Did I mention it had to be moved up a fairly steep hill that was really lumpy? We tried using the MF GC 1720 with the hitch C clamped to the FEL bucket. The lession we learned was that the C clamped hitch works well on a smooth, level lawn, it does not work well in the woods. It took a stump, come along, chain, and wheel chocks to retrieve the camper from the puckerbrush when the hitch slipped the C clamps. No, no video, but it would have gotten a bunch of hits on YouTube. We took that as a sign that we should stay at a hotel tonight...

2026 Deer and Fish Tales

However, I’m glad I did a test fire because the belt still popped off the pulley system and I saw the engine pulley quite out of round! It’s cracked bad! Inferior steel anyway. Unfortunately I don’t have any Wheel Horse pulleys close in size, being 1” bore and about 4” diameter. Off to TSC tomorrow! Plow day locally on Saturday!

After this year’s spring plow day, I couldn’t keep a belt on the Speedex, it kept jumping off! The Lever Steer started to bother my shoulder at Uncle Jim’s the other weekend and I haven’t fixed the steering either, so I decided to do some work on Speedy tonight. I thought that the set screw style trunion that adjusts the clutch throw (sliding engine) was slipping, so I pulled it off and put a 7/16”-20 die over it. Now I will have positive affirmation of the adjustment.

Things did not go my way Sunday night. I’ve been a bit under the weather and shouldn’t have even been out there to be honest with myself. I saw a little buck running around an hour or two before dark. I saw him again about 40 minutes before dark, in another direction, moving quick both times. Just before dark, two does came out of the neighbor’s corn and pinned me in my tree most immediately. It’s like they know I’m there and look first. I think I have a plan to relocate to a more secluded tree next season. The bigger one gave me a shot, almost identical to my doe a few weeks back. I let an arrow fly, and my bottom limb (cam?) smacked the ladder stand seat and my arrow went bouncing under her. At least it was a clean miss. I did the walk of shame to get my arrow after the fled, and went inside. I hung my bow up on a nail in the rafters of the pool shed, and it decided to fall to the concrete, landing on that bottom cam. I walked inside the house and don’t have plans to bow hunt any more this season.

Onan P-Series Ignition Module Replacement [Photos]
Handy Don replied to Duramax7man7's topic in Engines
Like others, I made a puller. I used four grade 8 bolts and a piece of ⅜” plate. I put a nut on the end of the crankshaft to protect the threads, put the plate against that and then put the oiled bolts in. Slowly criss-cross tightened the bolts while tapping the around the flywheel and on the plate with a plastic-face hammer until it popped. Not elegant but it worked without damage. The plate did bend slightly right before the flywheel gave up and came loose. -

I wouldn’t use heat. Did you try using an impact. Check out this video..if it doesn’t work just go to YouTube and search Onan flywheel removal -
How exactly does one list that on the harvest report?

Only one of them was mine!

Four doe right at dark this evening. Just got a report that a deer jumped thru my neighbors picture window cutting itself badly. It ran thru the house and died in the bathroom. What a mess.

Hey Mike, you really need to start putting some oil in your engines! LOL

We don't really get any "free" money. My daughter did get one of the $250 grants from the Dell Foundation, but both are much too old to qualify for the $1000 seed from the treasury dept. A uniform transfer to minor investment account would likely be better, but for as old as my kids are already most differences between the various types of investments a not likely to exceed $100 before they turn 18.

I have a 1969 Raider model that has had butchering on the hoodstand. Hoodstand part number 7881 I also have a 1973 8-8 model 1-0370 8 sort of a parts tractor. Hoodstand part number 102795 The tractors are not stored in the same place, so it hard to compare the hoodstands from pictures, but they seem similar. I know Wheel Horse change part numbers at one point in time to get around some sort of federal price regulations, I think in the Nixon years. Can anyone, tell me if these Hoodstands are the same? Maybe @gwest_ca This is the 1969 Raider 12 In has another hole in the rear, besides the one pictures, and weld scab repair This is the 1973 8-8

Another thing about Rod, he is a huge model railroader. A quick search of his layout reveals how much in fact he loves it. If I remember correctly, he employs a man to care for it. Rod himself has built many of the structures in the layout. -
Peter, you are the winner of today's Lazarus Award for having restricted the oldest post. It isn't quite old enough to vote but close.

I should have posted this BEFORE buying wheel weights but it was a good deal and they fit my tractor so no big deal. Anywho, I plan on getting 15” wheels for my d160 but I’m curious what the dimensions are for weights?
