I'll check that one out. I have some Tamiya filler on order.

The use of the proper mix shield gas makes a huge difference. Patience is the key with thin gage materials.

tough spot to fix with all the curves. I use 16ga you can favor it and run over on the thinner deck metal. came out real good

I would say 45 degree, warm by our standards. I liked it tho I would mess with my son and some times send him pics. and ask him to guess where I am at. He would guess and I would tell him I ain't at the Legion! this pic is when I was in Lunen Germany, no frost on the glass.

Agreed. Glad you're back and getting better!

I've been welding for years, and I'm still not as good as I should be. I can make two pieces of mild steel stay together, and that is about it. Anything more is what grinders with flap discs are for...

Tractor Stack On Charger 12

Another option you could go with is a Cub muffler, as it has a 1 inch end on it so you would just need a hose clamp instead of having to weld it on. One thing I have seen on here about stacks and am going to repeat is that you need to put a brace on the bottomed of it. @ri702bill has a good photo of the brace he has on his tractor- 1 reply

Could you post a better photo of your headlights and what are you using for headlights? -

Better than it was! We all have our strengths and weaknesses

You can buy a DORMAN 85668 fuse block from RockAuto for $4.05, they are available at many auto parts stores as well. Take a photo of the bottom of the old block to record where the wires go. Cut the wires as close to the block as possible to conserve wire length. Record how the connectors are linked together in the old block, some are linked and others are single. Assemble the connectors and block, a crimping tool makes the job better, I like to solder the connectors after crimping to prevent a hot connection in the future. Use NO-OX-ID on the fuses to prevent corrosion. Wheel Horse Parts & More has a fuse block cover to keep out water and debris. Done right, this will last much longer than original.

Got to play today in the garage and work on this weak corner of this 48" deck. Wasnt sure how to go about making the patch with all the angles and round overs but it worked out. I cant weld worth a crap to be pretty, but it holds and solid. I just got a 220 Harbor Freight flux core mig welder. But Im learning. I plan on get some 75/25 gas to see if I can do better maybe. Plus thin gauge metal aint my thing, I can do better with the thicker stuff. Lol

Tractor Stack On Charger 12
FarmallFarmer09 posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Hey, So ive had this badass idea ive wanted to do for awhile ive seen some other guys do, I want to put one of those tractor stack mufflers on my k301s. From asking around, I plan on buying the muffler from tsc, the one built for the farmall A or B. Do you guys have any info i should keep in mind? Specs? I dont think i need to be worried about backpressure, the tsc mufflers are pretty straight thru. Thanks! Ive included a picture of another tractor i found at my clubs show once for reference.- 1 reply

Must have missed something. Gone by Thursday? -
Check the compression first thing, if it is low pull the head to see the problem. Report back.

More like what I did for my Wheel Horse today. I took a drive to eastern Kansas to see @Easton Rich. We exchanged some legal tender for a 48" deck. Looked at some other things that are being offered, but none were jumping up and down hollering "you need me, you need me!". Going to need to go through the deck before putting it back into service. But, this deck is in better condition than the deck i got with Clyde, the C-195. A straight, well used deck is less of a project than a twisted well used deck. Between the two of them, I should be able to build a good one. Was a nice drive. Saw lots of hawks and a bald eagle along the way. Pretty good wind out of the south west. Gas mileage on the outbound trip was 16.8mpg. Milage on the return trip was 21.2mpg. -
So sorry for your loss, Joe.

Didn't think those came out until the square hoods did?

@ebinmaine - a tube of Squadron Green Stuff filler putty will be your friend on that tanker project.

Looks factory to me! -
Pretty sure they are the ones in the middle rear of the fender pan.

Holy cow @ebinmaine ! Yes that is our tanker trailer. It was originally pulled buy a 1969 cabover Ford with a 534 cu.in. gas motor coupled to a 10-speed Road Ranger. That’s how I learned to drive a tractor trailer, with that combo. I was on the truck purchasing committee when we replaced the Ford with a brand new 1996 Peterbuilt 379 with a 425hp Caterpillar and a 9-Speed Fuller Roadranger. Still using that truck and trailer, 6200 gallon capacity. I’ve taken it to many fires and parades across the county.

My wife and I went to see Das Boot at the theater when it first came out. During a tense depth charging screen, she about jumped out of her seat when the first depth charge went off.

Thanks for the update Richard. Sure glad the help was there to figure out the problem and discover the afib while help was available. Mrs. K had her first afib attack about three years ago at home and of course we assumed it was a heart attack. After some training on how to recognize an attack and several ways to physically get the heart back in rhythm, her following attacks were easier to deal with. The meds she is on now have prevented attacks for two years.

Run Silent, Run Deep The Enemy Below Hellcats of the Navy Submarine Patrol Although I am partial to Das Boot and Down Periscope. Have to watch the original German version of Das Boot with the kids though, and no subtitles.
