What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
After a busy day at work I got the K341 for the C-85 prepped to swap the correct oil pan from the spare M12 on it. My father and I are going to attempt tomorrow to get the generator extension on the crank cut off to be able to swap the drive pulley from the old K181 or the spare M12 onto the K341’s crank. just for reference for tomorrow how far out would the crank for a K341 extend past the block? More progress tomorrow. -
My pet parking peeve is the ratio of the reserved parking spaces at our Giant Food store. The first two spaces in each row are for charging the eees. Still don't understand why it requires two spaces to charge one ecar. The next two are for Handicap use. always full. The next four are for pregnant ladies. very seldom used. The next four are for employee of the month. never used, how can there be more than one employee of the month Mrs. K can walk with the aid of a shopping cart so I drop her at the door near an available cart then go to the rear of the lot to park.

Yeah, I’ll see if I can get them out. Some are pretty bad that the camera doesn’t show. I’ll try to get some close-ups tomorrow.
-
Ok, I’ll see if anyone I know is going. I don’t know if I will or not.

My guess is his flea bay listings get populated from his regular site.

I see lots of terrible parking in the course of my job, mostly by entitled people who are too lazy to walk more than three feet to the door, so the block the door to the shop. But we don't have gas pumps. I think the worst one I've seen with gas pumps, and it was so much entitled as it was stupid, was this one guy at Sam's. He had one of those push-button start cars (don't get me started on how dumb those are). Anyway, he dropped his girlfriend off over at the store across the plaza and went to get gas. He shut the car off, pumped his gas, then remembered the key was in her purse.

That type of "Got mine, up yours" entitled attitude I see occasionally at the market - idiots parking in the Fire Lane.

I have both pieces. Not perfect but repairable. Issue will be shipping. I already looked at sending a fender south. $125 freight cost. The hood would be higher. A relay to The Big Show could be a possibility.

On the return trip from a weekend leave when I was in the Navy I would stop about an hour away from the base and park by the pumps of a closed gas station to take a nap. They opened at 6:00 am so that was my wake-up call in time to make morning muster on the ship.

to the forum. I've not made changes like that, so the following is general advice - not actual knowledge. A change like that will speed the tractor up to be about 30 % faster in all gears. You will need a longer drive belt - 2" shorter would be a good starting point. Might need more, might need less. Hard to predict. Others have found that trial and error works better to find a new belt size for this type of modification than calculations. You will also have to make adjustments to the belt guides to properly support and hold the belt when the clutch is disengaged. Please remember that the brakes on a Wheel Horse are limited. Higher top speed might mean brake improvements as well. Good bunch of folks here on the forum. Somebody out there has probably tried doing the same thing and will be along shortly to chime in. Good luck and have fun.

Share your experiences with people I'm doing the gas pumps as parking spots. Extra points for stories that they don't pump any gas at all and just park so you cannot have access My story is yesterday I needed just a couple of gallons so I could use my stash of Kroger gas mostly a dollar off earned from fuel points. Speedway in Englewood Ohio takes the prize for half the pumps not working and shoppers parking at the pumps that do work. My wife was at one store and I was picking up some bits at harbor freight with that gas station close by. At least she was not angry at me for making her wait. Never going to that station again I have lots of ridiculous examples of selfish people, but I want to hear about yours

The diameter of the pulley multiplied be 3.14 will yield the circumference of the pulley but the belt generally only contacts half of the circumference, SOOOOOO, for each inch of pulley size change the belt would be 1.57" longer or shorter as the case may be presuming both pullies are relatively close in size. If you were going from a 2" to a 12" pulley that formula would be out the window because more than 50% of the 12" pulley circumference would probably be contacting the belt. With any luck this will clarify rather than confuse the issue.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

This is from yesterday afternoon. This evening Trina used the air hose to clean out the crevaasseess from these decks. Then I went to adjust the air pressure down and the regulator pretty much fell apart in my hand. C'MON MAN!!! 🤬 So I took a few minutes to temporarily rig up a replacement regulator that'll be wall mounted later. Then she sprayed waste oil 🛢 in the three decks. Before my father passed he made sure to give certain things to certain people. He felt like TRINA needed an oil undercoat gun. Go figure ehh? 😅 In between the confllabbery of the above adventures I put two more coats of Cottage white on these weights. -
New Camper, Just In Time For Our Week At The Tractor Show
Razorback replied to ClassicTractorProfessor's topic in non tractor related discussion
Congratulations on your new RV! We really enjoy ours.... a 1987 Avion 34W that we got in 2013. Went WAY north to Hancock, MI to pick it up.... we've had a great time with it, and can provide some input, depending on what you are needing info about.... Happy trails!! -
The 520 bodywork doesn’t look horrible. The sheet metal is pretty soft and you could get the dents out pretty easy with a rubber hammer/metal hammer and a block of wood. I fixed a pushed in nose on a spare hood like that. The dent in my 312’s hood was significantly worse before I massaged the hood on it.The fenders on the 520 look decent and could be fixed the same way.

Yep! -
I've been wanting to get back to this tractor but I got other things taking my time right now, cleaning up the other tractors planning on taking them to a show this weekend. And then I have been working on building a chicken coop as well. Chickens are starting to lay eggs now and need a place for winter.
-
I recently purchased a 520-H that has seen better days. It is phenomenal mechanically, but the sheetmetal is very rough. If you have a set of HOOD AND FENDERS in decent shape let me know. Thanks.
-
I will be posting a wanted ad in the classifieds also, but I’m in need of a set of fenders and a hood for my 520. If you’ve got something PM me. Thanks
-
Someone here had some kind of homegrown formula for every inch of pulley subtract 2 inches of belt???? It was a long time ago when i seen that thread and not sure if it is even accurate.
-
Really never measured the housings. I always thought the seals in the gear drive were delicate and flimsy, even tho they work good. As far as the seals, maybe they wanted the bigger seals but started out with the small ones??? Then made the hydro casting and updated the seal arrangement when the castings were designed??? Maybe the larger seals allow a larger spring to hold in the motor oil better???
-
Glad to see I could help. Mine burned oil really bad too. I went with a 10hp gen start Kohler, but I see that motor swap won’t be done on yours. It’ll make good yard art!
-
You lost me Paul which is fairly easy to do but are you saying the seals aren't 1 3/8 OD?
