Worst piece of wood I ever tried to finish It was constantly fuzzy trying to sand it and possibly contaminated veith oil or Cosmoline. I used gel stain on it but it looked too much like paint . I used Danish oil on it and that made it some better but still not great. Finally after a couple of coats dried in I applied more and used 800 grit to take off the high and fill in the low. At least it's reasonably smooth and is sealing up well. Wood like this stains like a photo negative with the grain light and the field dark. Chinese Sks stock .

The Things People Toss…
SylvanLakeWH replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in non tractor related discussion
Big trash night score tonight... Picked up down the street with the A-60 and the trailer... Owner says ran when parked... we'll see. Motor spins freely. -
Was the leak down indicative of valves or rings??? Either or both cylinders??? Running okay then fairly quickly having an issue more likely valves than rings... Given your hours and no markings on the top of the piston I am confident you are STD.
-
I am not sure about small engines, but in general I have found it to be exceedingly rare to have the actual part numbers stamped or cast into the part. They are usually stamping numbers that reference the die or mold used to make the part, or an engineering number that can be converted into a part number with the correct reference material.

She stopped running rather quickly. I did a compression check and leak down test. Both came in with low numbers and that's what led me down this path. It's interesting that I saw a set of standard pistons and connecting rods on Marketplace. The rods have the same number on them as mine.
-
Out of curiosity I started looking at overhaul kits things have gone up....If you want Pistons, rings and rods you are just under $400 add valves and valve guides $500+ Then the machine shop....I have 3 KT 17s and I love them...but no overhauls in their future... One of mine came from a John Deere 317 with over 2000 hours. She smokes on start up for bit but it clears up and she still works.... With the hours you think you have she has a lot of life left. Is there something that makes you think she need work??

sorry to hijack this thread. i'm with joeM. cars were sooo much easier to fix years ago. a young foreman at work has a jap hotrod of some sort. his daily driver is an old saturn. (i love saturns, super simple) anyways he asked me about his rear brakes. he said they did not look like anything he has ever seen. i replied "those are drum brakes". i told him he would have to buy a couple simple hand tools to fix. a couple days later he complained how complex they were. GEEEZ! i just helped a neighbor/retired lady who only gets social security. i did a brake job for her for beer money. my friend owns the local parts store. he was telling me that some of the very new cars have electronic brake retraction systems. those electronic brake retractors are HUGE $$$. some brands the retractors are only available thru the stealer. oops i meant dealer. whatever happened to a piece of flat stock and a "C' clamp to retract the brake caliper. just ranting regards mike

Yes, tubi has some of the best old movies and shows that I enjoy. Last movie I watched the other night was “Earth vs the flying saucers.” Why pay for bad new tv when you can watch the good old hits for free . -
Yup. I like watching the old cheesy movies on Tubi. Been a while since I've watched Plan 9. Last night was 'Dawn of the Mummy'. 1981, I think. Featured was a fashion model photo shoot in a just found toumb, the Mummy coming back to life, courtesy of a curse along with his zombie army. A couple of Jeep CJ 6 were used throughout the movie - they survived.

Wiener mobile!!! This is one of the trucks I've piloted recently. We're taking some old scrap metal racks to recycling.

Twenty years ago, Mom agreed way to quickly when the oil pumping station and line came through. She thought she made a fortune. I told her "Mom, the skidsteer they use to push snow cost more than they paid you and they will replace it every ten years." This time we made what we thought was a fair price. Twice what they offered. It provided us funds for cleaning the farm, upgrade machinery and work on buildings. We contacted two lawyers that were suppose to handle easements and they both told us the offer for the easement was fair. That bad advice cost almost two thousand dollars in fees. We as a family agreed on a price, then we met with the electric company, presented our case and got our agreed price--we were also the last easement they needed. Once the work started, we learned that the easement (100 feet wide) doesn't mean squat. The trucks and other machines went outside one hundred feet. When we questioned that, the lady said read page such and such, paragraph such and such. It gives them right of way pretty much anywhere they want to go. Apparently the lawyers didn't read the contract we took to them or don't understand jargon any better than we do. We are suppose to be reimbursed for losses. This is one farm (and other neighboring farms as well) that won't be developed into a housing development. Too much industrial equipment above and below ground.

Yep. The best ways would be to post in the wanted section https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/ or contact one of the vendors on this site https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/92-vendors/ like K&B or A-Z. BTW... to the site fellow North Carolinian!!

I doubt it. @Hammerhead hasn't logged on since 2018 and that thread was from 2010. Someone else might have what you're looking for though... -
@ebinmaine I really like that hitch

Wide rear of a 1974 C160-8 with OTR Lawn Trac tires and a bonus super old seed spreader. Sneak peak of a @76c12091520h trailer hitch too!

Just realizing I’m the last one who posted a picture, basically the same.

Hello, I want to do a partial overhaul and realize that going up ring sizes incurs connecting rod changeouts and crank modifications. I am looking at cleaning the heads, valves, and flex-hone the cylinders for cross hatch. Then would like to clean pistons and add new rings. I have measured the cylinders as best I could and am looking at something close to 3.125". I will try the feeler gauge option that I found on this site. I really don't want to attempt a complete overhaul. I was just trying to see if those part numbers indicated a standard set of rings, pistons, and rods. I have owned the machine for about 5 years with supposed low hours (450) and put on another 100 hours on it. The part numbers on the piston and connecting rods confused me when comparing those numbers to my manual. I want to get the tractor back to work so am also looking at other options if this partial overhaul is not feasible. egards, Bob
