    what do i have here?

    i have a new holland 914a deck, with a brand new bevel gear box installed and all its brackets plus spares. it spins free and is really nice. it also has its pto shaft too which is nice, i also got this plow/disk? clearly for a big boy tractor but not sure what it is. it has a new cylinder on it as well for the hydraulics. it was being used not too long ago so i know it should be good still. the disks spin free and arent in bad shape. any one got an idea on what my little lot here is worth? and what they might go to? im looking to sell as well if anyone is interested.

  6. The early mid-hitches and subsequent Attach-a-Matics differ in two ways that could affect you: 1. The new rod position is a full 0.5” higher than the early hitches 2. The newer side plates extend forward to house the latching mechanism and will interfere with a short-frame's tie rods You could modify a later set by grafting on some plate at the top drilled with new mounting holes and by cutting the round latch-locking disk (and constraining it to never rotate) so the “flat” side is toward the latch. I gave this careful thought (having acquired a newer hitch in anticipation). In the end, to me, it wasn’t worth the trouble. Also keep in mind that the mid-hitch’s main jobs are: ease of attachment, keeping the implement at the right height, and not dropping it. Mower decks ride on guide wheels!

    I have used this technique to create a matching patina on sheet metal that required some welding repairs.

    “Loaded” question.
  9. Actually that "patina" tractor came from Rodney Burger. He took it to the LeSeuer , Minnesota Swap Meet in April several years ago. The hood was painted purple. My brother David Ralph bought it and it set unused for several years -a waiting some attention. Craig Hearne told me how to paint a tractor with "new patina". I cleaned it and lightly sanded and steel wooled the entire hood. I did not think you could do it but it worked real well. You take Rustoleum red primer, flat black and and red you want (I use Rustoleum Regal red) and lightly spray the three at different intervals until you have a "new patina" finish. And, yes I was skeptical but it worked great. Last photo is the "new patina" RJ as sold to the new buyer.

  11. I appreciate the feedback. I don't believe the rod is undersized, it's a piece of 3/4" cold rolled bar and I compared it to the lift mechanism on my mower and it has the same diameter. I looked closer at the B80 mower deck Tach-A-Matic and it's somewhat tighter than the one I'm trying to use. I have another Tach-A-Matic on the B100 Automatic that isn't being used so I'm going to remove it and see what condition it's in and if it's worn I'll follow the advice of WHX?? and see if welding up and reshaping the attachment points is something I can handle. I'm sure mine isn't built exactly like the factory grader assembly so I guess I shouldn't be to surprised that the lift link is off a little. As long as it will move some dirt and gravel I'll be more than happy with it Thanks!
  12. I think @Brockport Billhad one for sale. Could be wrong though.

    I recommend replacing the brake lining with one from @rmaynard. They are a solid material with great friction. The brake is still never gonna be a WH strong point, but you’ll be impressed and a tad safer.
  19. Solo or with company?
  20. WHX??

    C195... Finally got time for cleaning

    Dan I got my Super C from him and he was doing them in fiberglass. Yours looks real good shape BP.

    Incredibly Hard Day Today

    Thank you all for your kind words, care and thoughtfulness. It means so much. This truly is a community where each one cares for one another. The picture was on Rita's 72nd birthday last year at a birthday party for my daughter's mother in law's birthday party for which they shared the same birthday, and they honored Rita as well. Warmest regards, Dan

    Not running smoth

    I’ve chased my tail many times over a simple spark plug. I’m not saying that’s what it is, but if you’re at the point of throwing parts at it…

    What specific problem are you experiencing with the ignition system? It could be a matter of cleaning the ignition points or needing a condenser. The SBV 355 appears to be a replacement for the V 70 engine used in many models of Wheel Horse beginning in 1969. Ignition parts from the H 60 or other similar vintage Tecumseh engines would work just fine. Since the Tecumseh engines went out of production eighteen years ago you will probably need to look for aftermarket parts. The attached thread has some part numbers that may aid you in your search.
