Weather for outdoor painting ?
kpinnc replied to Brockport Bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Given this alot of thought lately. Automotive paint is nice and holds a shine but can be quite brittle. What will make a scratch on many surfaces will chip on Automotive paint with hardener. Rattle can paint is softer, but most scratches are just that. With some work they can be repaired. I painted the V14 with rustoleum + hardener and it still is a bit rubbery several months later. I'm starting to like the durability of it. One thing to note: if your paint gets exposed to long term direct sunlight (think shed with open sides), rattle can won't hold up as well as Automotive. All my machines do some work. They just get exposed to a tougher life than what my truck gets. They get dirtier and far more scratches. At least I can make a decent (sometimes) repair on my tractors. - Today

Wheel Horse D-200 Oil Pressure Gauge

Any of that size automotive mechanical gauge should work. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/3220B8A2-E4CF-4BD0-A883-171D68FBACA5

The gauge works, but the needle broke off and I can barely see it at the bottom. I found one on eBay, but I really didn't want to spend that much. Is there another gage that will work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/395146755707

Pretty stout chain there Don #50? Is there a master link?
-
Here is what it looks like in there. I put new seals in mine a few years ago.

You were a little ahead of me when I bought mine. She's a worker. Albeit a light one.

I picked up this neglected LSE 5 years ago, I mean you should be seen the the amount of dust that was on the hood when I got it 😂

Chain case apart today & unmounted tires. Rears are shot but rims really need cleaning up and I have some ags that were on the flame that should work good. . Wasn't gonna take the case apart cause the oil came out pretty clean. Glad I did jack shaft & bearings was plugged solid with old crappy grease. Will take longer to clean everything up. There is no case gasket listed but someone tried to seal it up ... PO or Ponds??? Not sure what do do about the hubs and sure is a mystery why no keyways. The sprocket doesn't look like it was taken off and put on a different axle. The axle and the sprocket are listed as one part in the IPL. Kinda crappy lookin welds if still factory. @jeremi3210 suggest cutting some keys in with a dremel but that might be beyond my skill level. Need to talk with @Shynon yet he's been in a few of these.

Will try to take some

Thanks Don. I was waiting on a confirmation from you.

please post pics!!

@JCM looks like 6 Jim

I removed the belt from the manual pto and the tines move very little. I drained the lube today and it had very small, minute specks of metal but no large pieces drained out. I also can see the gear at the drain plug which means the chain is off of that gear. Hopefully just a broken chain. Hope to try to separate the case tomorrow to check it out.

I'm thinking 6 lug fronts. Too cold to head out to the shop.

The Elmer Fudd calander.

@Bill D That's okay if the metal plate is gone on the hood. Those could probably be made up at an engraver. That along with a registration card was to be sent back to WH with info what the new owner wanted engraved on it. The serial number was on the fender pan and the number when built as well. Hate to see it go to waste.

What calendar are you looking at Ed? Mine says Gobbler starts May 2.

You are a day late or six days early. But, it looks coooool.

That's interesting. Our spring hunting season opens tomorrow. Gobblers and horse rustlers are fair game.
