I’m finally officially on the RS Forum
Streetrodchev replied to Edward Teach's topic in Introductions
Welcome! I’m sure we have met at J & C Wheel Hose plow day, I’m on a green machine pulling a trailer plow. -
*FREE* 37" SD Mower Deck With Bagger Spring cleaning time, I have a 37" two blade side discharge mower deck with bagger attachment that I want to re-home. This fits most 300 series and some 400 maybe 500 tractors, came off a 312 Hydro. Includes all the brackets needed to mount to a tractor that has front and mid tach-a-matic and standard drawbar or slot hitch with pin spacers. Offering it *FREE* for the first person to pick it up near Elida Ohio, but you must take ALL of the stuff pictured. Mule drive, belt, 37" two blade side discharge deck, bagger with all mounting brackets, two sets of bags - one worn but usable, others more worn maybe not usable. Has all the expected dents and scratches expected from a quarter century of use. Can go to work immediately, or clean and polish to your heart's content. PM with questions or arrange pickup. - Rick

69 Raider 10 Upgrade or Repair?
Easton Rich replied to Easton Rich's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Almost done with the Kohler swap. I've found a pretty sweet use for that P220 but thats for later -
no offense here I was just trying to be funny myself and sure hope I didn't offend anyone.

@pfrederi Both piston to piston and hydrogear units come from a GT-14 so then it should bolt right up? Maybe I'll hook up an engine to the parts machine and see if the whole unit works

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

The flowers would grow faster if a wheel alignment was done.😉 -
A fermented beverage made from rotten bread, that has been proven to raise estrogen levels. I was just trying to lighten the mood. Felt maybe I stepped further than I should completely by mistake. I was just poking fun at the green tractor. Clearly it was taken in a manner I did not intend. If that was the case, I do apologize. And for the subject of beer: I might drink a six pack in a given year. I enjoy one on rare occasion with a meal. But my father was an alcoholic, so it isn't high on my list. But my hair still fell out.

GT-14 piston to piston/hydrogear
pfrederi replied to cafoose's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
The piston to piston hydro pump and motor will bolt up to the hydro gear transaxke how ever where did the current piston to piston unit come from was it a total swap hydro pump motor and transaxle.. I suspect you will have problem, the hydro gear transaxles for GT 14s have a different input gearing than non GT 14 units. There is a thread here about swapping out the input gears but it was to change the motor not the transaxle. I assume you could swap out the gears n the transaxle to match your piston to piston motor -

Ha! Nearly lost control going over the lousy job I did of leveling the yard after the water line replacement earlier this year. I elected to not look back, live with it, & head for the fridge in the garage. 🍺

No three point on this one. Just did a swap from H-gear to P to P on a c-160 with a transplanted 10 hp K series. Swapped the whole unit and it was pretty much a direct fit. Got a 12 hp k series I'm getting ready to put in the C-160. Would love a 16 hp but they seem to be scarce unless your name is Eric and you live in Maine, right @ebinmaine

So, in researching tires, I didn’t see any acceptable American made 15x6.00-6 tires. I did see that Air-Loc makes some in this size. I ordered a couple of these R-1 6 plys. $75 for a pair, delivered. Not sure how much I’ll like the lug tires in front, but I’m expecting I will. We’ll see. Now just have to clean & paint the rims, and service the rotating bits.

I very much prefer to (meaning exclusively) buy USA made stuff if possible. I was able to get American made rims & tires for the Ford, rims from Steiner & Titan tires. Upon researching all that, most guys said the best tubes available currently are South Korean manufactured, recommended Air-Loc. I got a pair of those with the TR-218 stems, which have a nut to hold them in place in the rims. I was very impressed with the weight & quality.

I am aware of the history of the New Deal and the role it, and the created local agencies, played in stabilizing the US and world economies after the US stock market crash. I have spent much more time studying the work of the TVA than the CCC. Some of the projects were worthwhile infrastructure investment. Many others were very much just make-work type projects so that the agency involved had something to show for the money spent. Dams and expansions of the electrical grid were firmly in the first category. Man-made streams are arguably in the second.

Spring time, trying to get everything back on its feet. Just got done putting new front tires & wheels on my Ford tractor, and now the 312-8 has a persistent leak on the left front. I just put these Hi-Runs on within the last few years. I pulled it off, brought it to the shop, put it in the sink & soaped it up to look for “the” leak. Looked like a bubble bath commercial, air coming out everywhere. Right through the sidewalls & tread. Strange, still new enough to be very rubbery, no apparent damage, just entirely porous. Junk. I could throw a tube in, but I hate tubes unless necessary, and I would expect them to start coming apart soon given the invisible but obvious degradation. Time for some new skins.

You obviously did a great job of being a father. It is so rare for a third generation to keep passing along an interest in family history to the fourth. Young men and women grew up fast during WW2, they were unquestionably the GREATEST GENERATION.

69 Raider 10 Upgrade or Repair?
sqrlgtr replied to Easton Rich's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Keeping everything original would be the only reason I would think about picking a Tecky over a Kohler. I just have one Tecky on a 551 suburban but fortunately it seems to be in pretty decent working order . If you dont care about keeping it original I would diffently go back with a Kohler, that Onan P220 would look pretty wicked on it also... -

Wheel horse 314-8, earlier k series machine. Runs good, no deck, plow or mule drive could use a new battery. $500 pm or text Kyle 845 591 7317 -
@adsm08 would you have any pics of their tie rods? I am going to be needing some soon and weighing the cost of making my own or buying new ones.

@daveoman1966 will probably be your most reliable source on P to P swap to H-Gear. With just a little more work you could go with an Eaton 1100. If you have a three point hitch being operated by the tractor lift cylinder it is a bit more work but very doable. I have pictures of mi Eaton swap and @19richie66 has done this too.

What did you do today?
