One of these suitable Bumper for 856?

Here's mine: Works like a charm... -
I’m finding this thread interesting. Many years ago my family was a good sized Ariens (along with W/H). We sold a lot of Ariens GTs (since they bought them from New Holland) and a few front PTO belt sets. So I was wondering why is getting these belts is so difficult now and I did a quick look and can see why this is such a struggle. My first thought was why not just get OEM ones, but I see that’s not possible and I’m very surprised that Ariens doesn’t offer them! Anyways, these used to come as a matched set. Like others, Ariens was famous for making their belts an odd size or different taper so you had to buy their belts. C-85

Exactly what I meant. -
See quite a few of those "radiators" at our steam pageant.

Lots of new machinery in the “museum” area. This Make and Break engine had a waterfall cooling system (kinda like rooftop chillers) instead of the more common simple water jacket. I’ve never seen this before on engines of this era. Temp gauge showed the heated water was at around 100º F.

I want to thank you in front for trying to save my back !! Each one of your revolutions is two (maybe 3) that do not need me !! Thanks Tom !! That does look incredable Mate.

Busted cam = no valves opening = lots of compressionI Also no rattle or hitches so my vote is rod came off the crank close to the crank
-
No idea, was maybe half throttle at the time. No horseplay was involved We’ll pull the head, see what’s not connected. Maybe the cam busted??

Florida Flywheelers show; Wheelhorse Presence?
clueless replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
A few WH there and there and some parts, they are not staged together. You have to walk around at least 60+ acres and you might see a few WHs, mostly old big tractor and farm equipment is what it's about, and a HUGE swap meet. If you want to see everything, working tractor display and old stuff working, it will take you all day, wear comfortable shoes and some SPF 50. Would I do it again, sure if I had a golf cart, I'm 72 with a bad hip and knee. -
I agree and may have an extra screen ( will have to check) yours for $5 dollars plus shipping if you promise to fix muffler.

Soooooooooooo...... How do you blow an engine put puttin around at a tractor show?
-
The last few years there has been this round hood WH “sliced in two” sitting in a huge shed. It has finally been displayed the way it should be!

Huge crowd! Perfect weather (no rain, wind or humidity). Only casualty was my son Brads Magnum 8 let go and his day was over. Well actually he just transferred his butt over to one of my rigs . Currently his Mag8 has zero compression. No hole thru the block though. That’ll be a winter project. Bought nothing other than a 6 gallon fuel jug with the old school nozzle that actually pours. Best part was just hanging with the WH crew. @wallfish @Retired Wrencher @VinsRJ @Handy Don @Chris T @grnlark @whtractors24 and a few others that aren’t membsrs here (bizarrre right!)

Added my 2¢. Usually better to lose traction or stall the engine than to find out how quickly a tractor can backflip. -

@Lane Ranger -
Afternoon, Wondering if any of you have been to Florida Flywheelers show and could tell me what to expect? Do they have a swap meet or tractor or parts for sale section? Haven’t ever been to tractor show but have read and see pictures of the big show; being the biggest wheelhorse show I don’t expect Flywheel to be anything close.. similar to how we have the Sun n fun airshow in Lakeland and Oshkosh in Wisconsin is # 1 in the world for size.

No vulcanos in Wisconsin !! The glaciers are gone now. All that's left...beer, cheese, sausage, gorgous landscapes, friendly people and lots of places to stop and enjoy all of it.

OK, I'll give you that one. "Why is this something we want or need" is a phrase I use a lot, particularly at work when speaking about some of the more extravagant garbage that is being put into cars these days, like telematics or digital instrument clusters that are bigger than my TV. There are a number of ways you could add a hitch to the front. Look around the forum as there are many pictures of that being done. -
This is what we have done so far. I’m currently trying to build a weight system for the entire tractor.
