Reading material for tomorrow
ineedanother replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in non tractor related discussion
My son likely came in behind you when they were shut down, refurbished and re-stared. Several weeks but more than often a couple or a few months process. He seemed to enjoy the work but the travel and amount of time in the field got old. -
That sounds like a chapter in a day of my life

Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !

Had a couple of my favorites out of the shop so I could cut some lumber. Looked too good to not snap a shot. You can see that the weather hasn't been kind to my grass this year. -
Please forward his contact info too, I can’t find it any more!

Those grooves look very rusty. Nothing wrong with rust but it has to be smooth. A wide flat file works good - knock off the high spots. A belt constantly slides into the groove and back out of it so smooth is required to prevent wear.

Had the 1988 312 out today with a newly acquired dump cart (LTD-244). Found the cart at a local (mostly used) tool store. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Yes they are. I haven't weighed them but I need to get them mounted so I can stop having to move them around the shop -

I have a set of those. Heavy little things. -

Too much on the to-do list today to get these on a machine but did manage to drill the rims for the weights. ICYMI, these 4 x 8 rims came on an off-brand cart with bushings and dry rotted wheel barrow tires. I almost threw them on the I don't care pile but they're actually decent quality so I knocked the bushings out and put 4 ply 4 x 8 tri-ribs on them. I talked my brother out of the weights and cleaned them up. Too wide on standard rims to get through the gates on my property so I think this will work. Soon to be in service... -
Yepp. Those moon prices are why I ALWAYS call guys like Brian Badman and Lincoln at A to Z. Both treat me well.
-
For antiques sellers shoot for the moon. The prices I saw were for current OEM carburetors
-
Thanks for the breakdown Eric

Happy Birthday !!

Manuals can all be found here on the forum site. Just search for your specific model off the ID tag on your tractor. If you are struggling, take a pic of the ID tag and post we’ll help you find it -
Thanks, @Pullstart. I've got a thread going on My Tractor forum. Kind of heading in the same direction as the link you supplied. For what it is worth, the 1 1/4 die costs about the same as a new axle. That points me towards a new axle. Now, I've just got to convince myself that I can do an axle replacement out in the middle of my woods. What I really need to be doing is improving the drainage on the driveway and clearing land to get the driveway through to where I want - I really don't want to spend my time there repairing the tractor. I'm going to call the guy Kevin got a wide front end for one of his big tractors from. He is just a few miles from me, and he probably has a bunch on 8N parts. Maybe he has a good used axle and hub.

Do you have the correct PTO tension spring and is it adjusted to the 1 3/4 " length to apply the correct tension to the belt?
-
Not at all surprising. I was looking for 1978 Briggs 8 HP carbs this afternoon and found almost exactly the same variance.
-
Well, this is what happens when you take a reasonable, reliable, pushrod engine and give it to the Germans and ask them to make it OHC.
-
Yeeeeesh.

I posted a while back on the Jacobsen 1200 super chief I acquired and received some useful items Thanks Can't find where to place my inquiry so hope this is OK this is the only forum that I can seek some useful information! I got the back end off the ground and the wheels will turn but only in opposite directions! I can move the shifter to neutral and forward and back but cannot turn the control arm that is supposed to actually let the wheels come out of gear I guess they should move together as a locked diffential?? I removed the drain plug to look at fluid and it looks surprisingly good and no metal on the plug I think they are magnetic? Also there was no metal in the fluid that came out i did not drain all the fluid was just doing some investigative work! Anyway before I start removing axle and Transmission to go deeper and possibly open it up was just looking for any other tests I can try or look for!

Being curious I checked Amazon for Honda Carburetors. I was shocked at the price variation. $25.00 to $250.00! I asked AI and the attached picture basically says "don't do it"

Yesterday I started into replacing the valve cover gaskets, plugs/wires, and thermostat on the Explorer. When I got the passenger side cover off I found the rear timing guide was broken (A known issue with this engine). Today I started removing the engine to replace the timing cassettes. The front one isn't bad. The rear one requires removal of a bolt, that is behind an oil plug, that sits inside the footprint of the transmission bell.

My kid is blaming me for ruining their Birthday. That's ridiculous! I didn't even know it was today.
