Love to smell it brewing, but I'll barf if I drink it.

I have used these as well. Mine has been working great on my zero turn for 5+ years with no issues. They are more expensive than they used to be, but worth it.

Maybe, but she'll never forget driving it. And she will have bragging rights about driving grandpa's tractor as an adult. You might be shocked at how few adults nowadays know how to operate anything without a touch screen.

Wanna build a black hood...
kpinnc replied to kpinnc's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I finally finished taking the other donor machine apart today. It was a C-125 8 speed black hood. And it was one of the rustiest hunks of junk I've ever tackled. Everything on it is frozen, even the differential. No pedals or steering parts would move. After getting the tranny removed I poured a gallon of kerosene in it and set it aside for later. The differential did finally free up but the shifters are stuck. That is a project for a later date... The biggest thing I was after was the center console and steering support thingy. None of the side or belt covers will work because I'm building a hydro. Maybe I'll use the footrests. They look shorter than usual... maybe it's my uncalibrated eyes. I had to cut the steering shaft. Didn't want to risk breaking the aluminum supports up top. I'll e-tank the wheel and see if it the rest of the shaft can be safely removed later. Probably gonna use a larger wheel anyway. But- everything will line up and bolt onto this newer chassis. At least there's no mods to do there. -
The 418-8 after the clean up and repairs

Looks great from here. -
The first wheel plant I worked in had oak block floors. If there was a leak in the roof, the blocks would swell up, expand, and make a hump in the floor. The plant had an articulated floor cleaner. One day the operator tried to drive it over one of the humps one day. It was high centered on the articulation hinge and leaking hydraulic fluid when I saw it. One of the GM plants still had the original oak block floor in one of their tool rooms. It was cleaned, and had some sort of clear finish on it that really showed off the end grain.

Spent last week at the FRC World Championships in Houston. Both of the high school teams I mentor qualified to attend this year. Only 600 out of the 3,724 active teams this year qualify. I inspected robots for 2 days and spectate for the other 2 days of the event. The junior team had a mixed bag of qualification matches, ending up 23rd in their division. They were not picked for participation in the elimination matches. The seinor team did fantastic - until they didn't. They got through the qualification matches undefeated, leaving them ranked #1 of their division, and captain of the #1 seated alliance. However, their streak ended with back to back losses in the double elimination rounds. Overall, the seinor team was ranked #33 in the world, the junior team #346 in the world. Senior won 2 out 3 regional competitions, while junior was runner up in 2 out of 3 of the competitions. All in all very good season, but with a dissapointing ending.

Spent the weekend doing a little fishing. Managed to limit out on trout Fri, Sat, & Sun. Mostly Brown trout & a couple Rainbow's. After this mornings catch they all took an 8hr bath in some brine in preparation for the smoker. I keep one smoker just for fish. Built this one several years ago out of a small electric water heater. Steam pan inside helps keep the meat moist. After 2.5hrs at 185 degrees.

Thanks Don. The guy that owns it now is a GT collector and he is the main man for the Portage GT show in WI here. He buys & sells all brands but mainly a Case guy. All vintage stuff. He bought an estate sale of horses and attachments from a WH guy here in WI. The genny was part of it. Also got some rollers and a real nice patina RJ and a real nice C-105 B hood. Just a ton of implements and parts. Since he doesn't know a great deal about horses he asked me to take a look at his score and valuate it. He is looking to sell most of it.

Made a little more progress on the M37 engine. Removed the crankshaft, cam, and all of the valve train parts, keeping them in the proper order, of course, and removed all but two of the core plugs. The engine stand is blocking access to two of the core plugs, so I'll get those out when I take the block off of the stand to load it into my pickup. The cam, valves, and lifters all looked nearly new, and the valve seats looked pretty good and should clean up easily. I haven't decided yet about replacing the original hardened exhaust valve seat inserts with newer ones, which 'might' be harder. I might order one new insert and compare the hardness with the old ones. This is all in preparation for taking the block in to have it hot tanked, magnafluxed and jet washed, which I plan to do in the next few days. Assuming that there are no hidden cracks, the next step would then be to take careful measurements to determine what machine work might be in order. All of the valve train parts are double-labeled to keep them in order.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Decided to freshen up the headlight lens and get the headlights operational. -
Having three tractors, three hats and two books signed by Cecil Pond, I would say with certainty that is a legitimate signature. As a matter of fact I remember either seeing him sign that generator at the Big Show or just seeing the generator at the show. Right now I’m feeling too lazy to go take pictures of the signatures on the tractors so this is my next best thing for comparison. Actually while going through my pictures I found a picture of his signature on my LSE. I was there when he signed it although I didn’t own it at the time. Mark Klinger did, and I remember it had 2 hrs on it. I also remember wishing I could have a tractor like that someday, and as fate would have it I ended up with it. Rest in peace Mark, I’m taking good care of you baby! ❤️

I've been wearing Timberland Pro's for quite a few years. Company gives me some cash back for shoes once a year. Normal cycle is - New shoes go on my feet during work hours, the past year's shoes become my work shoes at home, prior year's home work shoes hit the garbage can.

Looks like several here are ambidextrous and I fit into that catagory. I eat with my left (or right as needed) Write with my right. (School teacher made sure that happened--to which my writing is awful thus I print most everything.) Was last to be chosen on sandlot baseball. I throw left handed and only gloves available went on that hand. Team leaders didn't like me to catch a ball, take off glove then throw. Drive a nail with hammer in either hand Took banjo lessons-only mediocre player -later decided I should have had left handed banjo. Now with dupuytren's contracture, the banjo just sits in the closet. I'd say 60% right and 40% left. I know one thing, I had a terrible time when someone said "turn right" or "turn left" for years. I had to remind myself "I write with my right and eat with my left." I also wear watch on right hand.

What will you be looking for? Here is guide you can follow, it is general in nature and not specific to any model. Why won’t my starter turn over from the key switch?\ Lets take a logical step by step inspection of your starter problem. Is your PTO in the ON position, a wheel horse will not start with the PTO on. Have you had the battery load tested at an auto parts store? Have you cleaned and tightened all electrical connections including grounds? Are all fuses good and fuse holders cleaned? If these have all been done, we can check components of the starting system as follows; don’t skip a step or you may miss the problem. Be sure the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is set. Take a pair of automotive jumper cables and connect the black cable to your battery "-" and a good clean spot on the engine. Now connect the other cable to the large post on the starter and touch the other end to the battery "+" terminal, does the starter turn over? If the starter turns over the battery and starter are good. If it didn't turn over try the same steps with the battery in your car/truck, if that cures the problem then the "good" battery wasn't so good. Presuming the starter turned over move the jumper wire from the starter post to the other end of the wire going to the starter which is one of the large posts on the solenoid. If the starter turns over when the battery is touched by the jumper as before then that cable is good, if not you have found your problem. Presuming the starter turned over move that jumper to the other terminal of the solenoid, connect the other end to the battery and use a small piece of wire to temporarily connect the battery "+" terminal to the small terminal on the solenoid, this should cause the solenoid to close and the starter to turn over. If not, the solenoid is probably the problem. If this was successful remove the large jumper cable and use the small jumper wire to the small terminal of the solenoid, the solenoid should close and the starter turn over. If not the cable to the battery is the problem. Presuming all of these have been successful remove the black jumper wire and repeat the small jumper to small terminal, if the starter turns over the ground is good. If all of these components test good then remove your ignition switch, be sure the transmission is in neutral, parking brake on, clutch depressed and PTO off. Use a small jumper to connect the terminals that were connected to the “B” and “S” terminals of the ignition switch. If the starter turns over then the PTO switch and other safety switches are operating properly and your ignition switch may be bad

Meh, I spend more fuel running the kids around to stuff I don't want to be at. And I think I'm looking for an engine this year. My one is still giving me issues.

Red Wing 6" work boots. Made in USA about $270 just bought a pair couple weeks ago. My church-goin' shoes are SAS Timeout at about $235. I need good shoes for support of my foot that my brother ran over with his car about 50 years ago. Cheap shoes just don't provide the support I need.

Just did some math 408 miles at 10.5 MPG dragging a trailer (possibly worse mpg) = 38.6 gallons @ $4.15 = $160 each way so $320 just for fuel. (might need to up that cost by the end of June and the PA prices coming back) I can make it down without stopping for gas if no trailer in tow, I hate stopping because of the time vortex. Stop for only 10 minutes but somehow you're 30 minutes or more behind schedule. IDK how that works but it always works! LOL
