The cheapies can be hit or miss. I've used them on non-critical tractors but I'll probably just use up what I have on the shelf and be done with them. I use Mr. Gasket 42S and will stick with them only because it keeps everything common. There are lots of good ones out there. All the pumps I've seen are 5/16" fuel lines. Depending on the install I use 1/4"-5/16" brass fittings or a fuel filter that has stepped in/outs. As far as power I usually just come off the key switch but I have put a separate switch inline (fuse at the pump). Your choice but I wouldn't come off the accessory terminal. It cuts out in the start position. I really like this location for the rear tank tractors. 1/4" at the tank valve to a 1/4"-5/16" 90° brass fitting to the pump.

I did get a bit when he made the turn, but I'll still have to buy a half ton to lime the rest of the yard and garden. I add lime every winter.

I ended up with larger amounts of leaves layered too thick for effective use of the sweeper. I ended up using the leaf blower to round up the leaves into large piles. While using the leaf blower, I was museing about a leaf plow for one of the Horses. They are available - at a price of $600 to $800. Too expensive for me. That price would obtain another Wheel Horse! But, I have a welder. A sheet of expanded metal, a couple sticks of angle iron, and a couple Harbour Freight caster wheels will be a bunch cheaper than $600. Looks like I've got another project on the list.

Allis B…And Why I Shouldn’t Browse Auctions
oliver2-44 replied to ClassicTractorProfessor's topic in other brands
In high school Ag Mechanics shop we overhauled an Allis A. Using new sleeves. After it ran a few hours, water in oil. Over the next two year the sleeves came out of that poor thing numerous times. The O-ring at the bottom of one sleeve, then another, then another had nicks in them. The mating parts at the bottom of the block and the sleeve groove were honed multiple times to break the edge and remove any burrs. They finally just put a couple of cans of radiator stop leak in it and it fixed it. -

Wishing you some quality Red seat time

Eric, you will probably need a dial indicator and a holder that you can chuck up it to help line up the part you are working on.

Awhile back, I picked up a New Holland GT22 on the cheap. Non runner, 745 hours and non power steering option. After getting the engine running and sealed up, I cut some grass and it ran real good. I really have no interest in non power steering machines now that I am spoiled, so I put it on the back burn as maybe a flip. In between, along came a Toro xi that was good for parts and it had good power steering. When I disassembled it I saved the tower and associated steering parts thinking I just might install those into the GT22. I figured if given a couple two three afternoons I can get it installed. A scheduled surgery got delayed and that opened the window of opportunity for the GT. Put her in the shop and got started. Lets just say the two to three was a pipe dream. After six it is all done. Now saying, if I would have just had to install the steering the original estimate would have been good. (would have stretched it to three to four, I like taking breaks) Other problems. The first one was the steering wheel on the donner would not come off. Soaked, beat and air hammered, no go. Ended up burning one afternoon making a special puller. (pic 1 @2) I wanted to just switch the dash and gauges out. Next came the electrical gremlins. When I turned on the key the cruise control magnet would activate. That locked the hydro control in neutral or close to neutral. Okay dug into that and found the cruise indicator light was back feeding the cruise relay. I repaired that it worked fine. (I had installed a spare cruise relay for testing) I switched back to the original and it would not work at all. So, two problems a bad light socket and relay. Another afternoon burned up. That's my story and I am sticking to it! Got to strip r down pretty good

I got my first one in 1979 or 1980. Got it for Christmas. When I went back to work after the holidays, allow the engineers were showing off the cool bits of technology they had received. That Casio 'won' the new calculater catagory.

I had a lot of those.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

Since they woke you up, maybe a wide swing into the yerd might be in order? I put pelitized lime down a few times in the past and it helps the soil. But then I woke up an told myself why? Self is not big on cutting the grass anyway.

Happy Borned on Day, Cleat

Hoodstand ready to be installed. Hoodstand bolts ready. I ended up just using 10 of the shorter bolts, the longer ones were not needed. Hoodstand and foot control auto-center lever ready to be installed. Hoodstand sat into position on frame and two front lower bolts screwed in to hold it in position. All the lower side bolts screwed in finger tight then the top left bolts were screwed in finger tight. This will properly align the hoodstand. The foot control auto-center lever is now ready to be installed. Picture shows slightly longer bolts (7/8") but these were not required so I used the same length bolts as in the rest of the hoodstand (5/8"). Foot control auto-center lever installed. All 10 hoodstand mounting bolts including the ones in the foot control auto-center lever torqued to 17 ft/lb. The 1/4" pivot bolt in the foot control auto-center lever is just tightened enough to not have any side to side play but must pivot freely.

I'm Not Sure Why, But I Now Have a B-80

I 100% agree Around here, Lowes is the only one that stocks 1" stuff and I'm heading there after lunch. I'm finding more and more that the only place to find a lot of things is online -

That is a ridiculously high price, go to lowes, Home Depot, or ACE -

BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Thanks. You can definitely see the casting marks on the ones on the left. I'm going to swing by Lowes today to see what they might have in stock. -
I couldn't tell any difference between the two after rebuilding, both would squirt fuel across shop floor and onto the wall.

Steel (on the right), not brass or pot metal. They can be found at the big boxes. Like Richard said, often tagged for rigid conduit. Sigma ProConnex 1-in Rigid / IMC Zinc-plated Steel Conduit Locknut Conduit Fittings (2-Pack) 49103 at Lowes.com -
Many gasoline engines have a fuel tank mounted on the engine. The pressure requirement is very low. the 1.5 PSI pump will be your best choice. The Facet Posi-Flo is the pump of choice for many people. The CarBole electronic fuel pump is another popular option. In either case it is best to mount the pump below the level of the fuel tank, obtain electrical power from a source that will turn off with the ignition key and be sure to provide a fused source of power. On tractors that are equipped with an hour meter that is a good place to connect the electrical line since it already a fuse protected device. If you don't have an hour meter and your engine has battery powered ignition then the wire going to your ignition coil would be a good source but a 5 or 10 amp fuse should be added to the wire feeding the fuel pump.

Turns out I was using the wrong search words on Amazon. I was searching for NPT pipe nuts, I should have been searching for electrical conduit nuts. https://www.amazon.com/Hubbell-Raco-1194B2-Locknut-1-Inch-Conduit/dp/B00G9IR596? -
I have a 10 hp and 12 hp Kohler. C-105 and C-125 Black Hoods. Sounds like the cheapies are hit and miss... Would love direct links to ones that you guys know work, including needed nipples etc. Also, appears most are 5/16" - any 1/4"? Or doesn't matter? Where did you mount yours? Pics appreciated. Finally, separate switch or just at key?

Leaf season was pretty tame this year. No rain or snow, so leaves were lightweight. Wind was constant, so leaves fell quickly and many of them blew to the neighbors. Two strong grandsons eager to get some seat time, and I didn't have to do anything but watch.
