    What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

    Pulled up a couple more loads of firewood.

    OK people... CAPTION THIS!!!

    So for actual context... a friend of Trina's has invited us to a Hippie themed party in a few weeks. These glasses are a small part of my costume... or daily wear??!!??
  4. Notes: To get full vehicle voltage to the HEI distributor, this white/blue wire can be used to feed a relay that sources off the ignition switch and uses a jumper from the battery directly to the relay.
  5. How are you planning to get power to the front? I see the drive sprocket, so I assume a chain drive of some sort.
  6. @pfrederi I have been debating on trying this and you may have just given me the courage to do it. I have one or two axle laying around if I mess up to bad, I reckon. you know I seem to remember someone using a piloted cutter also with pretty good luck.
  7. Today
  8. A bit more progress, hubs done, wheel adapters done and it bolted up in place. Looking good 😍

    Mule drive question

    The belt looks like it's not twisted, but after it runs it looks twisted. Why? I'm using belt A95/4L970. I will measure the deck to check the size? The deck is one I picked up used mine rusted out. The last belt came a part in three pieces. I will check all this out and get back to you. Thank you all.
  10. I am sure the machinists will cringe but to put flat thrust bearings and/or oilite bearings on I just grind a bit off the top of the axle enough so the e clip can go back on. I know the bottom of the axle may not be perfect but it is better than nothing and I have no way of resurfacing that side.
  11. I like that the display and the manual control are separate from the actual box, so it gives lots of mounting options.

    My favorite SI story revolves around Marketing Genius. Traditionally, February is the poorest sales month in Sports. Football is over, Baseball & Tennis are yet to come alive. That leaves Hockey & Golf. Enter the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue - It took the poorest selling month to the top selling month. And continues to do so...
  13. As @ebinmaine was saying the engine is aluminum and around 10 lbs lighter. I’m not too worried about the steering, as even with the k in the c-141 the steering isn’t overly heavy.
  14. Ok, As far as I know it has all that.

    ignition or carb ?

    Cleaning the ignition points and replacing the spark plug should always be the first step in correcting poor running conditions. Easy way to rule out the condenser is to temporarily disconnect it for testing, if conditions improve then replace it, if not then look elsewhere.
  16. Yep that's the one. Anyone ever finds them again pass the word.

    What did you do today?

    This reminds me of when I was cutting a grapple load into stove lengths. An 8" red oak, 3" in I got sparks. flipped it over, same thing. Cut out that section to avoid destroying another chain. On splitting it, there was a small HORSESHOE in the center of the tree!
  18. Been searching since Oct of last year for an engine w/no luck.....and yes looked for Craftsman engines too. Even tried to find a Kohler, Vanguard too. Im out a lot less $$, time, & aggravation with the 416. Was gonna part out 1848 but dont want a dead tractor sitting around. Probably just sell it cheap & hopefully with the 37" deck too. Just really want it out of the way. I live in town so space is limited

    My Sports Illustrated story. Back in the '70s I was treasurer for Troop 35 BSA. I organized a monthly paper drive that totally financed our troop for years. I got a call asking if I could take magazines. The answer was no because my buyer (Schmidt & Ault Paper Co.) could not process waxy paper. I asked what magazines did he have. He had every issue of Sports Illustrated with every year wrapped in brown paper and tied. My son still has the magazines and continued to complete the collection today. There was one issue missing that he was able to find so the collection is 100% complete.

    C160 RPM drops when hydro engages?

    My reply to you other post. Does the end of stroke hydro noise continue while the blower is up?? When the lift cylinder reaches the end of the stoke you hear an increase in hydro pump noise. is that the noise what you are hearing, if so your control valve may not be returning to bypass when you release the lever...If you briefly push it towards down does the noise stop.
  21. @JoeM good spot for a SOFT START UNIT ? that would make that seamless , pete

    Front Wheel Weights

    @Bill D make a point of always trying to get a wide side seal on any bearing , if possible ? its not the bearing itself but the very questionable lubricant used in them ? every bearing I have in usage , has been cleaned out and refilled with , https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lucas-Xtra-Heavy-Duty-Grease/36052505?w , 550 deg flash point , polyurea rated . anti sling , never had a related failure , mower decks / mule drives , anything that was a CHRONIC FAILURE ISSUE , has been eliminated . like a small flat putty knife , for side seal removal , no damage at all , wipe out original lube , carb cleaner flush , no original lube debris , that lucas will show itself in durability , also did my pto cone inner needle bearing . engine heat kills that lube , clean out , flush , very light ammount , excess slings to clutch face , new outer sealed bearing , detailed the hell out of my 3 horses , remove problems , pete
