What's the correct way to remove these four bolts?

Would anyone happen to know where I could get some fuel line fittings like the ones in the photo? Also would I need anything special like a specific type of line or flare putter onner?

Here is a non running 214. I just picked it up and have not played with it yet. $225 OBO come and get it. If I start working on it I may keep it I am open to trades let me know what you have. If there is any interest I will post better pictures. The box blade and sleeve hitch are NOT PART OF THE SALE. Pick up in CT I can help load.

To me watching NASCAR now days is about as interesting as watching golf. Tune in at the end see the crash replays and save time Was a bit more interesting way back when they were at least based on real cars Fireball Roberts in his Pontiac that actually had some Pontiac parts....

Orange is my favorite color but I'll not have an orange Wheelhorse because it's too "Kubota".... and others. Allis Chalmers, JD patio colors, etc... -

Atomic Orange might be cool? -
Looking for a decent steering wheel for my 857 restore. Willing to trade the snowblower that came with the tractor ( inop, needs a pully) on the off chance you live close enough to pick up the snowblower. Otherwise, let me know what you have. Not in a hurry.

520H Hydro Fan Alternatives (Too many broken blades)
56servi replied to 56servi's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Based on all the reply's I am going to do the following 1. Buy a new (highly over priced ) fan for the summer 2. Cut the extra inside links off my tire chains. (I put the chains on in January and it was cold in garage) 3. Remove the fan during the winter 4. Might try and fab a wire cage for around the fan I bought the tractor last summer, and it needed a lot of work to get it ready for snow removal. I was the only one on our street that was happy to see all the snow we got this year. Thanks -

I have a great appreciation for the differences of color but I do have one rule. I refuse to paint a Wheelhorse the color of any other brand. I dont have fresh pics so here's a few older threads...

The Eaton 1100 transmission is by far the most expensive part of your tractor. Used, about $400 and well over $2000 new if you can find one. Not only would I pay $30 for a fan, I'd buy two to make sure I had a spare. Heat and contaminants are the worst enemy of these transmissions. The ball ports have .0005 (5/ ten-thousanths) clearances, and the smallest grit will destroy them. Since heat breaks down the qualities of the oil, you're gonna soon after have contaminants circulating anyway. Better off just paying silly money for a fan... -
Hey everyone….I’m building another tractor for pulling. I was searching the web for custom colors on Wheel Horses but every search I did only comes up basically factory colors. The steel wheel’d tractor was the most different looking paint job. I’m looking for custom paint jobs and any other paint colors except red. Well unless it’s burgandy or some candy job.lol... Please show me what you did or have found on the web. let’s see some different painted Wheel Horses! 👍👍 -

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Brunswick Diner breakfast...👍 -
During summers in high school I had a job painting houses. One client wanted their farm outbuilding painted as well as their house, including a huge barn with a second story hay loft. It had a Dutch gable wood-shingled roof that needed some repairs and then full roof paint. That was by far the scariest job we ever had and it took about a month for the whole job.

Blue Chips replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
We got about 5" here in Brunswick as well. I just finished clearing the driveway. It's sunny and just warm enough that it's melting off the asphalt pretty quickly...just in time for more on Monday. I'd rather have rain than snow, but at least every snowstorm counts toward relieving our drought situation. I'm also hoping for a cool, wet spring, partly to lessen the drought, and also to reduce the browntail moth population. -
Wobbly Rear Wheel - Concerning?
Handy Don replied to Alrashid2's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Be careful at speeds in excess of 40mph. -

Got tired of wrestling my mower deck around the garage in the off-season so I threw together a simple cart with casters. Now it fits nicely and isn’t tempted to fall over. -
Was my dorm room at college when RAs rounded up everyone in the building to assemble in the lounge to await further instructions. Remember this was pre-internet and pre-cell phones. We had a radio tuned to listen for “emergency broadcasts” and, thankfully, we got an “all clear” after a short time.

Handy Don replied to 56servi's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
To be extremely clear (and warned), the Eaton charge pump oil flow (i.e. that which runs through the filter and which a cooler would cool) does not run through the motion pump/motor and is (IMHO) quite unlikely to have a significant impact on cooling. The motion pump and motor mostly circulate the same oil internally. Yes, there is a small “bypass” amount that flows into the transaxle sump and is made up from the charge pump low pressure line, but it is only a tiny fraction of the total involved for motion. As @ebinmaine notes, excess heat in hydraulic pumps and motors will damage them. I conçur, heartily, with the “replace and protect the fan" recommendations.
