I'll agree with that

I have had good luck with the Berryman carb cleaner in the gallon container, although its several years old and they may have changed the formula... They have a small parts basket in them also to hold all the small parts. I will leave carb in a couple of days in the berrymans than take some spray carb cleaner and spray everything out/off a couple times then reassemble. This is an automatic function when I get a new to me machine unless it comes from someone who I know has probably already done it recently. Per our PM conversation, I just noticed in your pics that you have a later plastic fuel pump and believe these are disposable, not rebuildable.

My wife will be heading to the elementary school this afternoon to assist with their gingerbread house building day. She will be the 'foremen' of a two person crew consisting of our granddaughter in 3rd grade and a kindergarten student. I never knew this was Gingerbread House Day but, being in construction all my life, I do understand the need for safety and building codes. I sent this to her with hopes she'll show it to the students prior to construction. I'm sure the International Brotherhood of Gummy Bears would appreciate it.

My 310-8 was purchased from a gentleman who joined Red Square to be able to post it in our classifieds. I was the second person to contact him but he accepted my offer ( a bit more than he was asking ) because I could be there the next day with cash. First offer wanted him to hold it for a couple months. It had been used to mow the 1/8 acer lot at his lakeside camp and maintain the gravel driveway for about fifteen years. Only had about 350 hours on the clock and full set of Toro Dealer service records. It looked like new came with a 42" RD Deck and a mid mount grader blade. I sold the grader blade leaving me with a net investment of $ 150.00 and a tank of gas for the round trip to Knoxville, TN.

Keep & rebuild the original! Aftermarket carbs ae NOT the same quality.

Those cans work okay but they're pretty weak. I stopped using that method a couple years ago when I got my ultrasonic cleaner.

December twelfth is Gingerbread House Day, get creative decorating a tiny, edible home and have a friendly competition with family to see who can make the tastiest, prettiest, gingery house. Gingerbread houses are a favorite holiday pastime with families, be it with parents, grandparents, or even both! But these delicious, decorative bread houses have always been a staple of the holiday season for as long as people can remember. Where did they come from? Who came up with the idea? To answer those questions, we must follow the ghost of holiday’s past into the history of Gingerbread House Day! We can all agree that the best part of the process is eating the delicious gingerbread and decorations, no matter whether you managed to turn it into a work of art beforehand or not.

Much appreciated. Specifically, I asked because the topic of swapping the 12 HP from the Ugly Bruce tractor to a 16 HP has come up a couple times. The Ugly Bruce is a C121 so it has that cradle but it's a solid mount. That engine would be used elsewhere.

Direct bolt in, no mods, no drilling. The only thing you need is the longer PTO hoop & lower bracket which just bolts over the forward two holes of the mid Tach-A-Matic. You don't even have to remove the belt or guard, just remove the PTO & friction plate, the one bolt that holds the guard to the block, slide the engine back & over a little,comes right out. You can do this on the older ones too with the battery behind the engine, just take the battery tray off while you're under there anyway unbolting the engine.

Happy birthday Lowell

I can agree with Eric. He’s done many carburetors for me because I can’t hold onto small parts. I keep dropping them. It was because of the job I had. I believe they make carb cleaners with a one gallon paint can? Put it in and let it sit for a couple days and it comes out clean. And yet I’ve never done it but that’s what Eric does.

Happy Birthday Lowell @wheelhorseman

You can get some Horseshoe brand AG bar tires they are 10 ply!!! They have them in 23x10.5-12 size. Not sure how you will get them mounted but once you do you shouldn't have any issues haha.

Crazy stunts and stories with your horse!
Retired Wrencher replied to bottjernat1's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
That tractor took off in third gear and the seat pan flew backwards. Been there done that Eric at a tractor show. It was quite an entertainment for some people getting a good laugh. -
Tires really depends on what you plan to do with the tractor. Turf tread for lawn care, Ag tread for ground engaging implements. These 8 ply tires should get you through the brush. These tires are kind of multi purpose. Even if they don't hold air they will still stay on the rim. I have a friend that runs these with no air in them all the time. https://www.millertire.com/23x8-50-12-rubber-master-skid-loader-tire-8-ply/ These tires are claimed to be even more multi purpose. I want a set of these but the sticker shock holds me back. Being 6 ply they should hold up well in the pickers. https://www.millertire.com/23x8-50r12-carlisle-versa-turf-compact-radial-tractor-tire-6-ply/

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
Retired Wrencher replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
@rjg854 I would say keeping this one running this was a two year project and second time I own this one and I finally got it right. She’s not a looker, but it runs great. I still have to fix the fuel pump. It leaks a little bit. But I’ll do that in the spring. I have to adjust break simple stuff. Enjoy your projects everyone. -
I always plow 8’ at a time I do the same....but when its 2 inches or so , Its a waste to get the truck involved for myself

Moving Snow...the easy way ???
Retired Wrencher replied to johnnymag3's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Kevin I would say more rear and traction with the camper. Do what you do best.. -
I usually welded a piece of bar stock to the drawbar under the case to take up the slack and disperse the weight. But I seldom used that bar for towing. I did the bar stock with a 2" ball stuck in the slot hitch thing. Obviously the weak link there was the cable going to the lift. But you'd be surprised how much that would carry. For years our RV was stored in the barn. I would back it in and pull it out with the 76. The tongue weight would be 5-700# depending on which RV we had at the time. I always kept the RV tongue jack cranked close to the ground and had to mount the snow thrower to keep the front down but it never broke. I wouldn't recommend that though. I just got lucky in my young and even dumber days. Now I have these receivers on two of my tractors. And no longer have an RV to move.

Was this a near direct bolt in? Other than removing the Shaker plate base? Any mods to the belt guard or anything?
