    Those pics show the lift arm assembly and the deep channel it is installed in. Need to get that lift arm out somehow with messing something else up. Thanks

    Thanks Karl still trying to figure out how to get the Lift Link assembly out and it has been soo cold..... so what I did is moved the plow to my 310-8 so as to give me some time and get through the on-coming snow storm. Welcome your help and experience. Rob

    Been a long time...

    Did some mocking up and honestly, I hated the stance of the 1864 axle. Bit too tall and the wheels were too far forward for my liking. Had a 318 axle laying around that I decided to give a test fit and it works way better than the 1864 axle. The 318 axle is 2.5" taller than stock but the wheels are in the same spot, while the 1864 axle is 3.25" taller than stock with the wheels about 1.5" further forward. I'm going to try to make the whole setup seem stock but the hydraulic lines have already been replaced/modified so I'm not super hopeful about it looking totally stock.

    You should definitely consider going to the Big Show in June. There's a lot of Wheel Horse and fun and we get to hang around and buy stuff we don't need and share knowledge with one another.

    Got another one. A 416 this time.

    Does your hitch have any type of diagonal brace for vertical support? Or, do you feel it's not needed? Obviously, mine required it because I used flat bar stock as a cross bar (hitch for my Cyclone Rake), and it also gets used to maneuver my stone trailer around. Plus, I think the diagonal takes a lot of stress off the bolts.

    I start by removing all the sheet metal, gas tank etc to fully expose the hydro unit. Remove the drive pulley as there are fins and the lift pump behind it as well. Then blow it off as good as you can using compressed air. After that spray it down well with engine degreaser (might as well do the engine at the same time). Using a small paint brush sprayed down with the same degreaser work around all the fins until everything seems loose (you might need to use a small screwdriver to pick out tough spots). Don't forget the bottom of the transmission. After that a good spraying with a garden hose should clean it, I have a pressure washer but have not used it for this. I then spray it down with a cleaner like spray nine to wash off the degreaser and work that in with a brush then hose it off again. Once it dries give it a good inspection to be sure you did not miss any spots. That degreases it but loose flaky paint may still remain. I use a wire wheel in an angle grinder to polish the entire hydro and rear end to get it ready for paint. You might need to use a small wire brush to clean small spaces by hand. A final blow down with compressed air and you should be ready for paint. You may not get it perfect but it will be much much beter.

    Cleat and C-Series Don, etc: I have only really done one Hydro tranny "restore" --- don't have another planned right now but just in case I have another future hydo rehab, I wanted to ask everyone what they do to clean the fins before the painting? Obviously wash, clean etc -- but for those fins with dirt, grime, oil etc in between those small spaces between fins do you have any special tips -- I used various brushes and dental tool picks etc etc, but it was very frustrating and tedious to be sure the old paint was clean enough or removed for new paint to have solid coverage and stick!

    We have a couple breeds that have horns regardless. Not usually true with dairy cows, but the ropers have horns no matter the plumbing.

    Well... usually no horns on the on the equine variety, Plus ya'll know how we like our cheese up here.
  14. Can't speak for moving snow, but mine work harder when they look good...

    DAYUM!!! I believe that heffer is of the dairy variety...
  16. interesting point and that may be the typical situation for most people's driveway ---------- but i do not have that problem -- my asphalt driveway is over 35 yrs old -- no deterioration or degrading, no holes, no chipping, no repair necessary etc -- Why? Because my asphalt guy was high end commercial paving company -- not a usual residential driveway guy or typical "Sealer guy" - Actually, my asphalt installation guy recommended my sealer guy -- i don't recall the exact product material name of the sealer product but it's not the standard driveway sealer product -- it's some type petroleum oil based product to avoid the "destroying" issue you noted - i have had that same company apply his product multiple times over the years - terrific results - both longevity and durability and appearance.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a 92 or 93 model. I just sold my '96 520 to @Shuboxlover and its mostly the same. I'll do some research

    Thanks Pete, I believe this to be my last Wheel Horse Customization! I have a Ford LGT 14 to finish and that's all she wrote...

    Well kinda hard to be cruisin chicks when the missus is along and as @Achto would say that tractor is a real pan...nevermind ...

    All of my 520s were 1990 models, so that may be normal for reduction steering. I wouldn't know for sure. All of mine had the swept axle but no reduction steering.

    I guess this is a followup - electric fuel pump

    Yup, just took the air cleaner base off and found that I had somehow wedged the throttle linkage wide open. Oops. All fixed.

    They are all mine for now. @Shuboxlover bought a few in the background. I didn't even notice it had the extension.
