New-to-me Horse (and other stuff) Hauler!!

Idle thoughts on this subject: This probably depends on where the weld is on the frame. Welds are stress concentration features. They create hard spots, notches, and divots. If the weld is located in a low stress area of the frame, probably no problems. Truck frames are subjected to unpridictable, varying, and cyclic loads - the sort of loading condition that fatigue cracks can grow in. If the weld is located in a high stress area on the frame, it could provide a spot for a fatigue crack to start. Grinding the weld smooth and/or shot peening it will reduce the chances of a crack initiation site. I've never done any analysis work on frames, so I don't know where the high stress areas are. I'll guess that they are at the attachment points for the suspension and maybe at the attachment points for the cross members. A lot of long box pickup frames have been cut down into short box frames. Maybe something to learn from this process? -
And, how many deals were struck while waiting for the show to open?

Upon closer inspection all 3 holes in the accelerator pump cavity are blocked off/blind holes. The bottom right hole looks open, but it’s blocked. Perhaps Nikki has gone to one universal casting. I’m assuming the non emissions carb part #’s have the holes plugged and the emissions spec part #’s get them drilled. This was ordered directly from Cummins.

Wish I was there hope next year I will be

My home caught fire this afternoon. No one was injured (one cat had some smoke inhalation) but the house is not habitable. Shockingly, my garage area and tractors was the only part that recieved no damage. The fire was in the attic, and only two rooms were badly burned. Unfortunately the rest of the damage came from putting it out. Ceilings were pulled down and tonight when I left, whatever wasn't torn down was falling from all the water required to put it out. Not sure what comes next but I ask that those of you who believe will keep my family in your prayers. It's gonna be tough for a while on us just having somewhere to call home. And thank God for first responders. They were on site 2 minutes after I called 911. Amazing individuals! And thanks ahead of time for the prayers. The fact that my family is safe is a blessing in itself!

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
Blaine replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
K&B had the points plunger i needed, and thanks to @squonk and @702854boy, i now have everything to make sparks and find out if i have a good motor, maybe tomorrow. Still looking for the 6908 drive pulley for a gear drive deck to make everything play nicely together. From what I’m gathering, WH added the 6908 pulley which has the larger outer drive pulley, to a standard 5-2362 gear drive mower so it could be used with the PT-6 pto, and called it a RL-366 mower. The one in the manual appears solid, while the one i spotted at the show today is spoked. 5” or 6” outer pulley with two smaller pulleys behind it. If anyone happens to spot one, please give me a shout and i’ll stop by Saturday morning. -

Made it to the hotel, almost 6 hour drive, the cover from Lowe’s held on through the downpours and wind, it did flap quite a bit. We are about 20 minutes away from the show, will be there in the morning, looking forward to checking it all out. -

856 unidrive transmission.. how durable
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Are there any videos showing the splash transmission such as the 1960s wheelhorses… how they lubricate the gears. Also while I’m here on this durable thread I started.. what’s the best towing gear for 856?1st due to lowest=strongest.. slowest speed for safer? -

Squonk's taking the wrong turn on the way to the Big Show Laundry pics!!!
squonk posted a topic in 2026 WHCC Show Pictures
Its always nice to have whacky memories from every show. This year was the wrong restaurant, getting detoured then turning the wrong way ( Thinking of you Waldo.) Then getting grease on my favorite shirt. Had to utilize @stevebo's on site 24 Hr laundry service. Dawn Power Wash and a run through his 5th wheel speed queen made it look brand new! Only took 1 pic today ( Thursday) but hope to get more tomorrow. Can you guess who the Masked Man is?- 1 reply

Best solar trickle charger with shutoff for price?
FLtractor posted a topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Evening, Came across this online.. is this the best Solar trickle charger to keep my 856 battery charged while hooked up inside tractor. 10 watts enough? Florida sun. Auto shut off good so no battery damage. Other one you’d recommend? https://www.harborfreight.com/10-watt-solar-trickle-charger-70830.html?hftm_sc=189&hftm_source=google&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=21901739240&campaignid=21901739240&utm_content=171677809902&adsetid=171677809902&product=70830&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21901739240&gbraid=0AAAAADAHb4dCpgwLTBeXP0Ntb6gYRkpHi&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6vf9-92jlQMVUF3_AR0diCS6EAQYASACEgII3vD_BwE -

Had a beagle basset mix, long ears with one blue one brown eye when I was a kid. I know the stubbornness of which you speak.

Beagles. Very stubborn ones.
