The 416H has become a favorite of mine. I wish I was closer. I'd either help you fix it or take it off your hands. Where are you planning to move to and why, if you don't mind sharing? -
A farmer was driving his tractor along the road with a trailer load of fertilizer. A little boy of eight was playing in his yard when he saw the farmer and asked, 'What've you got in your trailer?' 'Manure,' Farmer replied. 'What are you going to do with it?' asked the boy. 'Put it on my strawberries,' answered the farmer. The boy replied, 'You ought to come and eat with us, we put ice-cream on our strawberries.'

One of these suitable Bumper for 856?
adsm08 replied to FLtractor's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I have only found one situation where a bumper would have been nice, but probably not too helpful. When I was about 12 or 13 I rear-ended my dad's truck while we towed the 310 out of the mud, but that was more of a statement on the difference in the quality of the brakes between the two vehicles. On the 8XX tractors the front tires stick out past the front of the hood far enough to do the job well, unless you run into something with the point of the hood. -
Click on my link. Gives the part no. 3/8"

More put away summer stuff. Today, it winterized the plumbing system in the travel trailer. It sure goes quicker since I added a 'T' and a couple valves to the intake side of the pump - shut the valve for the normal water intake, open the valve to a intake hose placed in a bottle of antifreeze and turn on the faucet until it runs pink. Takes about 2 gallons.

@squonk stupid ? but what size did you have to order? I cant remeber for the life of me what size pipe thread WH used. Stinks getting older.
-
in theory they would be the same, but I would be very surprised if the ol Kohler wouldn't out work and out last the Predator.
-
I found the 3/8" set screw wrench in my father in laws toolbox. Sorry didn't a 1/2", but I did find something that would work. Montgomery Wards Lakeside pipe wrench
-
Same here. When my Amish neighbor bought the farm adjacent to me, I harvester around 20 groundhogs / year for several years. Groundhog holes and horse legs are not a good combo. His 10yo son took over the groundhog control after I gave him, a trap and instruction. I dump them in the forest where the foxes, coyotes, hawks, and eagles have a feast. I also pick up any road killed deer and dump them where the critters can safely feed.

This is how I put them on the small block short framers to clear the clutch pedal. I can leave a deck on and use a hose so I don't get oil all over the deck. On my C-160 it comes out straight and again a hose end and hose to keep the deck clean.

I finally finished rebuilding the transmission for my Dodge M37. This is the early-series synchromesh type used in the M37, which was later replaced by the NP-420 in the M37B1. It turned out to be a rather expensive project, as I replaced every gear, shaft, bearing, seal, shim, retaining ring, gasket, companion flange, spring, expansion plugs for the shift rails, etc., etc., with new or NOS parts. It’s now essentially a brand-new transmission. I don’t want to have to rebuild this again, so I was careful to do everything by the book, and then some. That involved lots of fiddly, but important details, such as checking clearances in half a dozen places (all of which are now within new specs), cleaning every threaded hole with a chasing die, replacing bolts and lock washers, making a new (improved) shift lever alignment pin, using appropriate thread lockers and sealers on the through-bolts into the case, pre-lubing with Lubriplate assembly lube, doing proper safety wiring on the shifting forks, applying proper torque to fasteners, and many other details. Here's the transmission all back together, just before it got its final coat of paint: Here it is after the final paint, which covers the fasteners, as it would have with the original factory paint job for the military: Now it's on to more engine rebuilding work.

WOW WOW WOW!! I don't think I've even seen half that total this year. Everywhere.

Yep. My spouse had a hip replacement six weeks ago. It was an outpatient procedure, and they had her walking (with a walker) within a hour or so after she woke up. She's getting around quite normally now and is only still using a cane because the doc wanted her to use it for one more week.

I think I do have a 3/8" official set screw wrench in my dads toolbox. It will take half an hour to clean off the box and find it to take a picture. This is just a test picture of some homemade roller axles to see if I can post. Org has been playing games with me. I think they still owe me for the $71 a month they paid 67 me and 68. Here is the 3/8" square wrench, It is the one with T handle. the big end on the small wrenchs is 5/16" the other end of one is 1/4" and the other is 3/16".

I have disposed of 33 groundhogs in the trash this year alone... trial and error with various methods always resulted in bad odor. I now use a commercial contractor grade heavy black garbage bag with this product sprayed in the bag and on the carcass. I then role it like a burrito, fold ends, tape it, then repeat with a second bag and discard. I also spray it in the container. It is pricey. It works. Squirrel you can probably get away with one bag...

This thread is mostly to see if there is any interest in working a deal by anyone within driving distance to me (however far they are willing to drive...). I hope it is okay to post this here. I will put specific ads in the For Sale Classifieds, but I don't have specifics or pictures yet. My wife and I are serious about moving next year, hopefully early in the year, and I need to do some serious downsizing. I'm going to sell my 416-H (which at the moment is having some running problems that I have yet to solve), as well as a 520-H project tractor with swept front end, custom motion pedal, and a Kohler Series II KT17 engine that I believe was recently rebuilt before I acquired it (PO had died...). Several Decks, a 400/500 series frame with hydro rear which I had belt-tested a while back and think is in decent shape, hydraulic lift cylinder, some fender and hood tins, wheels, tires, steering wheel, and a bunch of misc. smaller parts. I'm hoping someone who is within driving distance will buy the whole lot and come haul it off - I will make a very enticing deal on the lot. There are quite a few items that I will give away for free under the right circumstances. I don't care that much about the money, since having this stuff hang around is going to make it difficult to prep the property for sale between now and next spring. Anything I still have at some point will be going out by the road and/or to scrap. I will try to get things organized and take some pictures soon. Anyone interested, send me a PM. Some small things I can sell separately and ship (or donate and ship for free), large stuff I may sell separately but I don't want to hurt my chances at selling the whole lot either. I am about 8 miles off I-69, west of Bloomington IN. -
No pics, no idea how to do it here! The # F110N valve is not in the way of anything on my installation, an M14 Kohler on a 1997 314-8. The belts are out of the way. The valve sticks out a little less than the PTO hoop lower bracket. It's an easy reach to the valve. I would urge you to visit the website fumotousa.com and check the product out.

Wow, I feel lucky - I either hear or see one or more hawks just about every day. Have heard (but not seen) eagles at times also, but not recently. Buzzards are pretty much a daily thing also. Didn't feel so lucky when we were trying to keep chickens, though. Between the hawks and foxes, it was a free smorgasbord.
-
They sure did on this occasion!! I was quite impressed. I'm well aware that movement of an injured joint as soon as possible after the injury is excellent for a speedy and thorough recovery.

True, but doctors being very protective of their own kind will rarely, if ever, say that the other doctor was wrong or mistaken.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
kpinnc replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
With all that is going with the house I just haven't had any seat time for a couple months. But today we are swapping campers out and I wanted to grade and level the gravel driveway where the new one will get parked. So I got two machines out and got to work. Makes me feel almost human again, and the horses did what they always do- made hard work easy without complaint. I do love these little tractors! Of course the dogs were not impressed... -
yup I have a 1/2" brain... meant 3/8"... thx for the catch... (corrected original post...) @Handy Don feel free to continue using 1/2"...
