    Get yourself a good little trailer with fat ATV tires and a flat bed. You can haul 3 deer per trip!

    Frozen starter bendix (ice)

    You can buy a cheap heat gun at Harbor Freight for $20. My first one lasted several years. It will burn skin off a pig at 5 feet...

    i hate wheel horse blowers

    You can mount the chains with the wheels on or off the tractor. Either way, I’d suggest deflating the tires, fitting the chains so they are even in every way and connecting the inside connector first then the outside. You may want to do this more than once to get them good and snug and evenly spaced. Then reinflate. The chains should be held in place without “snubbers” with this method. Btw, 2 link chains are better than 4 link but any chains are going to be a big improvement. good luck. PS. It’s not the Wheel Horse or the blower. It’s just lack of traction. I’ve got a 312-8 with a blower running 23 - 8.5x 12 with 2 link chains and I walk through 12” of snow on grass ( with the skids down) or on the pavement (skids up) no problem. Usually in low range 3rd gear or 1st gear hi. You may need to move your battery tray set up.

    Dial a Height on a 702 ??

    At least with the dial a height the 3rd hole would be covered up. I would add one for sure.

    What have I done to my Wheel Horse today?

    There should be a rubber sleeve on the lever but it is missing on most tractors.

    where would i buy a set of v bars for 23x8.5.12 tires? and how would i mount them? off the machine?

    i hate wheel horse blowers

    What you need is a set of double link v bars. Your might have more trouble fitting any kind of chains with that battery rigamarole in the way.

  14. My bad ... all mine are a stub shaft in the left side cover but late model 520s. Well the hole is there ...

    Dial a Height on a 702 ??

    The later Dial-a-height both holes are at the same height. You would need to drill another hole, don't know how close it will be to the existing hole.

    i hate wheel horse blowers

    You don't need ags ... a set of chains on turfs will make a world of difference and weight ... never hurts but all the weight in the world will not help on sheet ice. Definitely sounds like you don't have it set up right.

    What have I done to my Wheel Horse today?

    This is the locking lever and that is the same length as mine on my 520.

    i hate wheel horse blowers

    i spent probably 2 hours screaming at my c120 and no matter what i do i cant get traction. i have 10 or 12 inch wide turfs with 2 sets of wheel weights on it. and its atrocious. i dont have tire chains and im broke so i cant afford aggs. what can i do to increase traction? i probably have 90 pounds on each tire, its like the blower just makes the whole tractor useless. i couldnt even back up 10 inches its pitiful
  21. Looks like it's missing the whole lever. The shaft stub is very short. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/118860-reproduction-wheel-horse-parking-brake-knob/

    Tire Recommendations for steep, snowy, mud

    As an FYI, in simple terms the system stores the pictures in an “images” database and then puts references to them (links of sorts) into the post so that when the post is displayed, the picture is included. If the software allowed it, one could conceivably view their photo archive while creating a new post and link an existing picture.

    '74 c160 Auto Ring Job

    Yes. Just drop the pan. The bottom gear can be reached with snap ring pliers. Top one depends on the throw of the crank as to how much of a pain it is. Probably easier to break that one. Just don't leave any debris in the case. But both shafts will (can) be left in place.

    Yikes, heads up to anyone reading this... I had deleted about half of my attachments to make space for new ones. It deleted the photos from my original posts! Super bummed about that, wish there were a warning or explanation before I had done that... I guess if someone reaches out and finds a post and wants to see the pics I can try to dig them up on my computer Unless anyone knows how to recover deleted attachments ??

    Winter motor oil

    At the plant I worked in during college vacations, there were a lot of hydraulic systems operating fixed production equipment. The maintenance department had a water centrifugal water separator thing that rode on the back of one of their Coleman tool carts. It hooked it up to valved T nipples at the inlet and outlet of the reservoir and circulated the fluid while extracting any water. They’d cycle all the cylinders, too. Lastly, they’d top up for any lost volume and on to the next system...
