Wow guys. What a help. I messed around a bit at the Toro site and they were saying that only present production models were available for download. With the great weather we are having I will be doing this in the shop during bad weather. Soybean and corn yields are great this year and I want to see my nephews new combine Fendt class 8 that fully optioned can exceed seven figures. The front has tracks instead of tires. He lost his other combine when it burned down in a field. He is hoping for fifty percent depreciated on the insurance claim. An eighteen row head and 250 bushel corn and that thing just eats. Here at the home place the guys are running a John Deere class seven and running while unloading into a grain cart.

A wise old shark and a young shark were swimming near the shore when they spotted a couple of young swimmers. The young shark asked the older one if they should go right over and eat therm. The old shark said no, first we will circle around the with our fins barely above the water, then we will circle them again with our fins fully exposed, then we can eat them. The young shark asked why you would circle them twice like that. The older shark said they taste much better once you scare the sh** out of them.

Fabricating a Mid Mount Grader Blade Assembly for a D-Series Tractor
OoPEZoO replied to BradKahler's topic in Implements and Attachments
Looking at this and I think I'm most jealous of you working with NEW steel.....LOL. I feel like almost all of my projects get started with some rusty piece of scrap that I end up turning into something useful. Looks great so far. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
peter lena replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
@Sodaking27 looks clean , is that a reflexion on that hood ? stay after my paint with lubrication , maintenance , use a graphite or lubrication on my plow blade ? very easy slide off , makes that first plow off , wide and easy . do any mods to the PLOW QUADRANT / SWING SET UP ? did this years ago , unthreaded shoulder bolts , with flat washers and elastic Lok nut, lets you dial in lubricated swing / movement area , also did threaded rod , and heim joints to replace sloppy swing rods. quadrant slide pin , works like a rifle bolt , detail / improve , every stage , nothing sarcastic , implied , only a suggestion , pete -

Have a great day Rylee - Today

They were brand new blades and that was the factory edge. I know in my 6' New Holland finish mower they want you to leave the blade edge slightly blunt

Good morning everyone. I just purchased a HY kit, probably over payed, but I saw it and noticed everything looked like it was there. I’ve always wanted to make my 1257 hydro lift. Description stated it will need a rebuild, I think @wheelhorseman sells these kits? Possibly new hoses as well? I’ve seen a few folks on here who have put them on their tractors with some modifications like shifter and mounting and cylinder and such. I guess I’m just asking for some suggestions and what you’ve done to make it all work. Thank you.

Paul @pfrederi, in my opinion the blades were a bit over sharpened, A thin edge like that can't take much abuse without deforming. When I sharpen my blades I chamfer the lower edge a bit to allow it to skip over roots or stones. Works well for me.

Overall those are a great machine. Trina uses a push/driven mower for the backyard. The drive setup adds both extra weight and extra friction if not engaged. Definitely want to have that working and constantly in use. Our acreage is pretty tilted and somewhat rough, even in the supposedly finished areas. We find that the lowest speed is more than fast enough. On smooth flat ground I'd imagine it would cruise right along at a fast walk speed cutting nicely.

I'll get a picture of the tag tonight for ya.

Likely. That's a ROAD USE tax. Here in Maine the non ethanol fuel is sold as "Recreation" or Boat/Marine" fuel. I've been told that non ethanol fuel is not highway legal but never verified this.
-
Just filled up the truck @ $ 3.50 a gallon and a can of non-E for the @ $ 5.00 a gallon. What the heck is that all about? North Carolina suspended the gas tax until the end of November but I guess that only pertains to alcohol adulterated gas and not real gas.

Four cylinder Indian Chief motorcycles from the late 30's early 40s had ones that look about like that. What information is on the tag on the distributer?

Dont hate me because I'm lucky.
Ed Kennell replied to Teddy da Bear62's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yeah, or something. She claimed the damage to her van was from a hit and run. I think she was repositioning mailboxes. -
Went to the Bantam Heritage festival in 2011. That was fun. Very Cool little tractor. Dave
-
Thanks. Checked it out more carefully. Apparently 657 was an updraft carb, mines side draft.

I have my good boiled cowboy coffee going!

If you happen to schedule that for November 14th... and you happen to stop by my mom's place... I'd bet I know where you could get some Bear Cowboy Coffee 🐻 🤠 ☕️

My apologies, I misread it! Need to wake up.

Cut four wooden wedges from hardwood, place two of them under one side of the pulley where the tip of one is over the tip of the other, do the same on the other side of the pulley. tap on each wedge going from side to side so the upward pressure will be even. Continue driving the wedges in until they are as far as they will go. put the nut on your spindle shaft to protect the threads and give it s good hard hit with a BFH tool. The pressure from below and the shock to the shaft should do the job.

HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY -
It's a 657.

Thanks, but that's a Kohler. Had an 857 years ago.

Here's a link to a post from the first full restoration my Trina did. Perhaps between these pics and your diagram you can narrow it down.
