Mrs. 8n and I are considering building a garage on the lake house property. We are thinking of a bay and a half wide and 32 or 36 feet long. The question is: Stick built or pole building? Kit or from scratch? Pros? Cons? Comments?

It's time to replace fuel lines on a couple machines and I didn't see anything recent with a search...looking for local (NAPA?) or other source for quality fuel line. I use E-0 and this would be for 300 and c-series. Thanks

Wished I could remember where it came from and why I didn't use it on my 701 resto. I guess it was the challenge of restoring 701's

Well it’s not what I did today, but this past week. Myself and another guy dug the hole for a foundation of a new house. Mostly I push material to the guy in the excavator who bales it out of the hole. Then I finish grade the bottom of the hole with the dozer +/- 2” for the masons. The hole is almost but not finished in the picture, I just snapped it after lunch one day. This is in one of the most expensive zip codes in the country. 1.9 acre lot- 7 million dollars. Spec house that will probably list for around 23 million! This whole area used to be nothing but farmland mostly potatoes and corn. From this point you used to look across approximately a mile of fields and see the ocean. Now it’s mostly houses with some occasional fields. It’s sad really.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Did you try pulling harder? -
Unfortunately my services were required at work on Saturday so it was kind of an unproductive weekend for me. A big Thank You to @WHX?? for the nice steering wheel. It cleaned up very nicely. I also painted a few small items for the engine today. Fly wheel, governor arm pieces, & little trinkets & doo dad's. I also got side tracked with another project. I'm helping a friend set up his Simple-city with a Magnum 16 Kohler. This was a yank start engine that we converted to electric start. Fits perfectly in the frame. He carved out an adapter that bolts to the flywheel so that the drive shaft can be connected. A few little kinks to work out on this yet but it is coming along well.

It's off one of these Lauson H60's

Good evening! I've been looking for an OEM kit for a Walbro LMB 118. Anyone know about these? It has the adjustable needle at the bottom of the bowl. Going by pictures, the closest I fine is K1 LMB 205.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
cafoose replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
The steering on my GT-14 FEL I got from @fast88pu a few years ago at the Big Show was skipping teeth and unpredictable I investigated and found the housing support for the steering shaft was broken. I have a parts GT-14 that had a good support on it so I "borrowed" it Top one in picture is broken. Bottom one is the good one. It came off the donor easily but it's a tight fit getting it on the FEL tractor. I found the starter shield on the shroud is in the way. I started to remove it for better access and it won't come off I removed all the bolts I found that held it on and it wiggles but won't pull off -
You can still get a 2-piece black gold plated set with hardware from Toro. https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro-92-6840/

Happy Happy Pacer

Well, after a weekend of up and down with a friend's son's truck doing exhaust work I think I can safely say the lift is fixed. And the shop needs insulated.

Yesterday and today I spent not following instructions very well. Friday the last thing my manager said to me was "Don't work too hard this weekend". Yesterday I attempted to put a radio in a truck for a guy I know, under adverse conditions, it went poorly, because of wiring issues, and he is dropping it off for me tomorrow to have it as long as I need to finish the job. Just getting to his radio is a pain, so we put it together the bare minimum needed to drive it. After getting my butt kicked by a simple radio install I went home to help a friend and his son do exhaust manifolds on the son's 5.4 F150. That's an "if you know, you know" thing. They worked on it almost all day yesterday, and a good chunk of today, I was only around for about 6 hours. We just finished up about 8 PM.

Wheel Horse D-160 Should I?
T-Mo-(Moderator) replied to T-Mo-(Moderator)'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I wouldn't have thought so, but it's in the parts manual for the D-160. -
Well it's your tractor and looks/sounds to be to be a project. How on earth does one bend a hydro pully.

Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft
ri702bill replied to ri702bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The grease goes out the bottom anyway - there is a blow-out from the OE machining process. I figure the packed shallow grooves help to smear the grease. -
Through ice and sleet and snow. They made it here.

Yessir. It'll be a bit before I get em set up. Should be very good though.

Agreed. Follow the @SylvanLakeWH rule!!
-
I think they're going to work out for you.

Actually @JCM I’m not talking about the Kwik-Way, my bad ! Mine is a Wheel Horse loader which I believe is actually made by Ark. I think I only took it off once before realizing it was easier to leave it on and just get more tractors for different attachments!!

Adding Grease Grooves in Steering Shaft
Wayne0 replied to ri702bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The only problem I see is the grease has a way to go out, not stay in. I think a radial groove would be better. Maybe with a couple short cuts in the shaft that don't go to the end. My
