My son likely came in behind you when they were shut down, refurbished and re-stared. Several weeks but more than often a couple or a few months process. He seemed to enjoy the work but the travel and amount of time in the field got old. -
That sounds like a chapter in a day of my life

Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !

Had a couple of my favorites out of the shop so I could cut some lumber. Looked too good to not snap a shot. You can see that the weather hasn't been kind to my grass this year. -
Please forward his contact info too, I can’t find it any more!

Those grooves look very rusty. Nothing wrong with rust but it has to be smooth. A wide flat file works good - knock off the high spots. A belt constantly slides into the groove and back out of it so smooth is required to prevent wear.

Had the 1988 312 out today with a newly acquired dump cart (LTD-244). Found the cart at a local (mostly used) tool store. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Yes they are. I haven't weighed them but I need to get them mounted so I can stop having to move them around the shop -

Too much on the to-do list today to get these on a machine but did manage to drill the rims for the weights. ICYMI, these 4 x 8 rims came on an off-brand cart with bushings and dry rotted wheel barrow tires. I almost threw them on the I don't care pile but they're actually decent quality so I knocked the bushings out and put 4 ply 4 x 8 tri-ribs on them. I talked my brother out of the weights and cleaned them up. Too wide on standard rims to get through the gates on my property so I think this will work. Soon to be in service... -
Yepp. Those moon prices are why I ALWAYS call guys like Brian Badman and Lincoln at A to Z. Both treat me well.

For antiques sellers shoot for the moon. The prices I saw were for current OEM carburetors

Manuals can all be found here on the forum site. Just search for your specific model off the ID tag on your tractor. If you are struggling, take a pic of the ID tag and post we’ll help you find it -
Thanks, @Pullstart. I've got a thread going on My Tractor forum. Kind of heading in the same direction as the link you supplied. For what it is worth, the 1 1/4 die costs about the same as a new axle. That points me towards a new axle. Now, I've just got to convince myself that I can do an axle replacement out in the middle of my woods. What I really need to be doing is improving the drainage on the driveway and clearing land to get the driveway through to where I want - I really don't want to spend my time there repairing the tractor. I'm going to call the guy Kevin got a wide front end for one of his big tractors from. He is just a few miles from me, and he probably has a bunch on 8N parts. Maybe he has a good used axle and hub.

Do you have the correct PTO tension spring and is it adjusted to the 1 3/4 " length to apply the correct tension to the belt?
-
Not at all surprising. I was looking for 1978 Briggs 8 HP carbs this afternoon and found almost exactly the same variance.
-
Well, this is what happens when you take a reasonable, reliable, pushrod engine and give it to the Germans and ask them to make it OHC.

Yeeeeesh.
