What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
kpinnc replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Started on a new guard for the Bronco muffler. Still gotta trim the edges and repaint the muffler itself, but the hard part is done. Used my last piece of stainless grid, but it's all good. Welding on a muffler is a pain. Only had to repair one blowout about 1/8 inch, but still frustrating. -
AWESOME fabrication! What are you using to control it? Is there a bearing in there? Only asking because I'm looking for one that is 7 inches ID. Only thing I've found that isn't ridiculously expensive won't tolerate outside conditions.
-
Same thing as hundreds (maybe thousands) of Wheel Horse owners did today. This heavy snow proved a bit too much for the repair hubs on the C-120, so I switched everything over to the C-141 and finished up. Guess I'm gonna have to breakdown and swap out the differential I picked up. Time to buy more Floor Dry.

I screeched several times during disassembly and cleaning , but am unsure what you mean. What is you talkin bout? The pump I am rebuilding is from a K161 on a 701. Mechanical arm plus the outside primer handle. I do believe it has never been rebuilt or cleaned as it took hours just to get the crud out of it. Wasn't so bad outside, but sheesh it was nearly solid deposits inside. Took about an hour to flatten it back out too.

1975 Sundstrand end seal(s) ?

Also make sure it's not leaking at the input shaft. They can mist fluid and the hydro fan will spread fluid to parts unkown making it look like it's leaking from somewhere else. -
I think a B-100 will either require a screwdriver or a 3/8" wrench. Some of them can be stuck pretty tight the first time you try to open them (from non-use, I imagine). If so, work it back and forth little by little until it frees up. I've found that moderately snug is sufficient when closing it for use. One turn counterclockwise for freewheel.

Unless the coax was an actual tripping hazard, there is absolutely no violation of the "extension cord/fire hazard". It's low voltage and if you don't have an amplifier in place there's no voltage at all. If you do, it's low voltage anyway and not the same as a power cord. It seems the administrator is just being a PITA. And like Sylvan stated, the attic is great option if possible. Maybe look into an antenna signal amplifier to use with the indoor antenna you are using. But typically it can be crap in equals crap out.

I thought I'd have to overhaul the lift cylinder on my 522xi, but after cleaning off the muck that was hiding the leak, it turned out to be a slightly loose fitting, which was fine with me, since I have other projects that I'd rather work on than hydraulic cylinders. Considering the time I've spent rebuilding various hydraulic cylinders over the years, I'd seriously consider sending them out as well. However, stubborn as I am, I recently rebuilt the two steering cylinders on my old Case loader/backhoe myself. There were a couple of %&!*$#! moments, but they're both back together again and working perfectly. One of the cylinders after cleaning and painting, and ready to reassemble with some new internal parts and ball joints. Back together again: Back on Mr. Case: -
I do like my pie. I've called the meringue "calf slobbers" since before I was married. The old man I used to work for would fuss at our local diner he said all they served was "jam pies" "Two crusts jammed together with almost no filling". I made these pies this morning for mom's Christmas party today. She likes to have it early as to not interfere with the other activities during this time of year. There's a blackberry cobbler (from blackberries we grew). There's a cherry (from cherries we picked/grew). There's a chocolate pie in the background that our son in law really likes--it's more of a brownie in a pie crust. (From Coco powder we bought.) Both pie crusts were from scratch. People have asked me what do you know about making pies? I tell them I figured if I could build a house, I could certainly build a pie. It gives my wife a little relief from the kitchen. I certainly wouldn't turn down a lemon pie with a healthy heaping calf slobbers on top!

Thanks for all of the responses and suggestions. It was suggested that there would not be any battery powered outside antenna's but as I sit here in my house, I'm thinking there might be a 110V plug in on the outside by her patio. If so, I might be able to get power from it to attach to outside antenna. I'll look into this when I visit mom in a couple of days. I have reviewed with mom about using the available channels/shows on her nearly new Vizio TV. I think i have her set up and understanding how to find shows and then next time I'm in, she is confused. At 90, she is getting slower at understand and remembering. About 15 years ago she was able to pass her ham radio text to get her license but those days are gone. Mom's apartment is on the north side of the assisted living compound. It's about 36 to 39 miles to the two television station towers east-southeast of Springfield. Her plastic antenna is near the ceiling in the corner of a room and I have it curved in the corner it seems to work best there. I am going to use the advice here and see what we come up with. You-all have given me some good resources. THANKS!

Had the 416-H with 60” deck and 8hp Peco vacuum system out today for the final leaf harvest! -
Don't use what you PAID as the blocker. Use the FUTURE VALUE. You have a $300 tractor.... You dump a grand in it.... You still have a $1300 tractor that'll outperform and outlive any $5000 machine on the new market. Period. This would be ideal. Also consider calling Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA.

Putting around in the woods 🤔 In an almost white tractor..... during deer 🦌 season? 🤔 I hope you had on your florescent orange? -
Good info on potential compatability. I'll start to try & figure out what I'm gonna do. Don't wanna put huge $$ into a $300 tractor. Probably find a parts tractor that runs as the engine donor. Maybe with bad trans or other non-engine related issues??

Sounds like there may be options engine wise. I just dont do Facebook though.

New back tires for The diesel just ordered them

How much resistance should you feel when turning one of these valves ?? hand tight? pliers, wrench needed ? I'm getting into a B100 auto right now and I'm curious what I'm going to encounter

Beats the alternative though...
