    What did you do today?

    Well after being yelled at over nothing by a psychotic co-worker, and then running out of gas on a test drive, I decided I did not hate my life enough yet today, sooooo.... Engine is out. I forgot the flexplate bolts are e-torx, so it can't go on the stand yet, because I didn't bring the right sockets home.
  3. Yesterday
  4. Street Rod buddy of mine asked that '50s and '60s "Car Tunes" be played at his memorial service concluding the service with Jan and Dean's "Dead Mans Curve". Some of his relatives thought it was a bit sacrilegious, those of us who had known him for years loved it.
  5. @ebinmaine That’s great news. Glad to hear it!

    One of the women at the Bereavement Group i joined a couple of years ago when my wife passed was quite a character. She had 5 children and outlived 3 husbands! She hand picked all the arrangements for her funeral prior to he death. Per her specific request, the Video of her life in pictures included the famous clip from the 1939 Wizard of Oz - "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead". That was so her....
  7. I'm happy to report that the Meeha Mirror is doing exceptionally well. She's healing faster and better than the E/R doc expected. Trina's been experimenting with taking two of the three meds away. There was some on n off there because of obvious pain & discomfort but the dog 🐕 is now off meds except prednisone. That'll be a few more weeks in the downgrading process. She's still severely restricted in allowable movement. No jumping. No running. Indoors she's kept quiet and in limited space so she can't run. Outdoors she's always leashed. This routine keeps up until the end of September at minimum.

    Wheel Horse Paint Recommendations

    When I begin to do any painting on my 520xi, the first thing will be to paint the rims white as having silver rims on a Wheel Horse is sacrilegious. Looking at the recommended colors, the Rustoleum Ivory Gloss I believe is no longer available. I just painted a 1998 Sylvan Blue Fish. The Ivory Gloss was about a perfect match for the white portion but unavailable. The Pettit top side Hatteras Off White is what I used. Went back and forth with Pettit as their on line paint chips or colors on the cans are not even close to the actual color. The off white is a bright white. You can see both colors compared to the front of the boat before I painted it. Was amazed how smooth the finish is for a brush on paint. I did use their hardener also. Attaching a picture of the boat so you can see the color. May be another very durable paint color for the white wheels.

    Wheel Horse 520

    1474 hours. Needs rewired, will not start with key and wires are burned. Fresh service when I received it. 60 inch deck, snowblower and tire chains. I do have all the books, sales receipts, complete history. Does run and mow excellent. Have all hubcaps and a box of belts, filters and misc pieces. Lost all interest

    Is nine months long enough?

    I found a P216 for $50 on FBM. It's in Cornwall on Hudson. Probably a bit far to travel.

    Is nine months long enough?

    And wouldn’t you know I actually threw one away about a month ago! I had a P216 with real bad knock. I took a few parts off it and scraped the rest. I got tired of it taking up space in my shop and moving it around. As I was getting it out of my truck to scrap it I remember thinking someone would probably take this for parts! But who? And when? Nope, I’m trying to have less junk in my life so away it went. Had I known @PWL216 was going to need the flywheel I would have gladly saved it for him. It’s one of those things that we all think “As soon as I get rid of that, I’m going to need it!” And then we don’t throw it out and then look around and think “How did I accumulate all this stuff?!!” Correct me if I’m wrong, but most of you know exactly what I’m talking about 😂😂

    Also consider searching your local FBM for Onan engines.
  19. Could have been worse.
  20. My mother in law made each of her kids their personal cassette tape of songs she selected. Mildred would call into a local radio station and request a song and record it on the cassette. At her visitation service, they played one of the cassettes. My brother in law came up to us as we sat there mourning our loss and he was laughing. "Listen to the song." "Thank God and Greyhound She's Gone" was playing over the speakers. Mildred would have been proud.

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    So I was on the fence on repainting my C120 or trying to restore the original paint. After last winter towing the tractor back and forth to help my grandparents the salt really took its toll. I decided two months ago I was just going to repaint the tractor. I started sanding the fender but life got in the way and I never finished until today. Is it perfect? nope but good enough for who its for. Fender is done and next is the hood. Haven't decided if I'm going to park it for the rest of the year or just do one piece a weekend as I did with my Simplicity turned Allis Chalmers.
