Hitch questions? What am I missing here?
sqrlgtr replied to Fj40z's topic in Implements and Attachments
@Fj40z more pics of mochine would be helpful in seeing what your have or have not"s are. If you are missing the lift handle, rock shaft, etc. you may be better off purchasing a whole parts mochine... -
At Home sandblasting?
Brockport Bill replied to Natejc_98's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I do a few rehab projects with grandsons each year...mostly decks, seat pans, few footrests, an occasional plow blade, etc.....some need more rust cleaning than others..if not very severe rust or pitting, then grinder, wire wheel, scaler etc often get job done. However, I did do some consideration couple years ago to buy blaster....Instead, I use a nearby fairly priced professional sand blaster who has done various projects for me... Every one of us has different considerations, but for me I'd rather have him deal with all the downside issues of doing the blasting than me. .... I'm happy dropping project with him and picking it up few days later. No $ cost for me to buy and maintain equipment, buy media, no mess, no labor, no sweating, no clean up, no health considerations, etc....and great perfectly finished beautiful bare metal piece -

A C-160 should have came with a manual lift bar and mid mount rockshaft for a lift cable. -
Guys from NJ that were at the BS came to it! It was a good show aside from the rain. Daytime was really sunny, hot & humid. Ate good that's fer sure! My main man Jacob @jeremi3210's boy up to his usual antics. A old bhind cultivator with a tecky snow blower repo. He even took his contraption in the parade and a couple of blocks down to A&W.

Thanks for the info @WHX?? and @AlexR Those pics help a lot. I can see where a clevis hitch or a slot hitches would fit around the drawbar. I guess I would have to come up with my own lift system or maybe a manual lift if there is such a thing? -
Saw our oldest son yesterday. He mentioned that the Big Boy is scheduled to pass through Hobart Indiana in the near future not too far from his house. Hope he gets a picture or two when it does.

Gotta get out there some day!

I've got similar footage of the Challanger rolling through Sedalia a number of years ago. We are in our Mo. base of operation tonight. Got our Finnish guests off on their way home from O'Hara yesterday. One piece of me is glad to see them off, 'cause they were ready, but another side of me is a bit sad to see them go. Good time was had by all. We've driven about 3,000 miles in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Still have another 700 miles to go to get back to our Michigan location next week.

Others might be able to tell you for sure but it looks like you need a rockshaft to me I made one of my sleeve hitches. Even making it back around 2018 I think it cost me around $60-70 in material to make one. I also didn't need the rockshaft. Like mentioned you can get everything from wheelhorsepartsandmore. It's not really that easy to get the setup used for cheaper, because not that many people will get rid of those parts. -

Might just stick with the angle grinder for time being 😂 -

There fixed that... The HF cab works good and even with all the mods bet I ain't got 200 in it. Lots of threads here on them and like said y tube. Make your own cyclone bucket works too. I use the coal slag form TSC. Yah big thing is the air supply. 11-12 cfm @90 PSI minimum for most cabs. -
@sqrlgtr You may end up with the Onan when it's finished

Progress on the repower. Didn't bolt the engine down yet because I need the PTO mounted first. Waiting for the crank adapter ordered today from Carroll Stream Motor Company.

Cool, those turned out great! Ah, ok, I’ve used Adobe Illustrator, MS Paint and a bunch of others to varying degrees of success over the years. I’ve started using a program called Affinity for editing photos. It looks like it might be an all in one program you can use for illustrations too.

Sure do see the odd balls there that's fer sure. I'll have to get my pics together and see what I got.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Almost forgot the Friday parade that ends up at A&W where we can all get some treats if we wish. Lets not forget Mother Natures gift. Around 4" of rain between Wed. and Thurs. night.

It’s about a 100ft stretch across the front of my property. My back .40 is far more brutal. The last Predator motor tolerated it for about 12 years. I just put a new Hemi Predator on this spring. The old one still ran, it just got low on compression over the past year or so and was hard to start at times. If i only get half of that out of this one, for $135 it’s no big loss.

Some awesome stuff there!!
