Great advice, this 3 mile ride was easy and nothing shifted. But for a long distance trip, that’s worth noting!

Whenever the cable is connected directly to the holes in the disk that happens. Very fast throttle response. A Wheel Horse spec engine would have a small arm that was welded to the disk so the cable connection was a bit farther distance away from the center fulcrum point. Therefore it would take a longer distance to travel from idle to full rpm. This is what that arm looks like

A quick shot with the little pressure washer removed a lot of the yellow paint and reveals some red. Next, to beak out the big pressure washer.

Sorry for my confusion here. If Richard's #5054 diagram is what you have, I would call your differential a "Bevel Gear Differential". I have no idea if an 8 pinion differential will be replacable in your trans. I would open your trans up, take pictures and measurements and compair with other IPL's. The hydro trans case, I think, is the issue for yes or no to do what you want. Checking part numbers in manuals is where to start.

I don’t follow the Android world at all. FWIW, I would search the interweb for apps that use the camera and strobe the light that are compatible with your specific device. Hardware varies so much in the android world, especially for camera specs, your device may not have the needed oomph. There are not-to-expensive external tachs that work via induction (off the spark plug wire) and/or optical that are helpful for doing maintenance and sychronization like this one.

@c-series don I thought I had a picture of Indy's yellow horse...I do not. I have seen it though...it is real. I'll do some more looking.
-
I was thinking of possibly having a new decal made to go on the tach. Anything out there for android?

Hey all, I’m trying to work on my wheel horse a little bit here, well for some reason I swear my throttle is either idle, or full throttle no inbetween, it’s a k181 on a commando 8 80729712277__A6E2EF28-3946-421D-91F4-70B6B11217C7.MOV

I probably have at least 55 to live. I'm just tired of having to get up and go to work every day, and my phone never seems to stop ringing for work at home too. I flagged 41 hours between 7AM Thursday, and 11:30 Friday, and most of that work was done in that time. Between 11:30 and 4 on Friday I did a clutch in a Focus, which pays another 9 hours. On the rare occasions I have actually had time to do anything I actually want to do this summer I haven't had the energy.

Congratulations on your retirement! I am 63, will post 45 years with IBM on Monday. Retirement is looking better and better every day. This "workin' for a livin'" gets in the way of a LOT of stuff we want to do!

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
Razorback replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Not yet. We were out of town for two weeks, got home last Tuesday..... work, work, work since then... weekend is full.... I hope to get to look at this tomorrow?? -
Same here. I retired with 42 years of service, only because I needed more time off for myself and my family. The day after I retired I continued working as a consultant for another 7 years.....on my own schedule Retirement is great, but I would love to have 25 years to go.

Good looking work. Do I need plumbing material? Nope. I've got a box of plumbing stuff that does not fit anywhere or anything in the house.

I was traveling by car a lot during the 90's. I used to listen to Rush while I drove. Early in his career, it seemed that he would engage and discuss with his call in listeners more so than later in his career where it seemed he spent more time preaching on his views than discussing them. I enjoyed the early Rush much more than the later Rush......
-
Cleat, how is your project coming along?
-
I really enjoyed most of the jobs I had during my working career and retired somewhat reluctantly. I’ve gotten used to it, though.

First I've heard of this product. I wonder how the specs compare to the Rotella 30 wt?

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
rick replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
It would be difficult to put my Milwaukee 18V grease guns in a wallpaper tray. They rest on a piece of cardboard. The only leak or spill is from the working end of the hose and that is not much. -
Gotta say, retirement is the best job I have ever had. As many of you are aware we get to do nothing and if it isn't finished we pick tomorrow right were we left off.
