What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
JoeM replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
28 degrees? the heat is in the tools! my shop is 50/60.....that is why not as much gets done! -
When I got my new to me used 48" long frame plow, it came with a set of those adjustable skids & hardware that were never installed. Before I used the plow with the skids installed, I welded some scrap 3/8" thick cold rolled pads to the bottoms, as there is more than enough adjustment in the slots. IMHO, the OE skids are too thin for repeated annual use.

I have a home shop made set similar to that. Mine do not have the grooves for the bolts and one needs the angle corrected. I'll get pics later.

Survivor for sure, nice patina, original mufflers, etc. If you are into D machines I would say that is the one to get. If you get it, do check the pump input coupler, mine spun the spline a couple years in. Those couplers are hard to come by.

Yep. Mine stay on boards all winter.

You might want to add a washer or two behind the castle nut so the cotter pin is fully engaged in the castle nut. -
Flywheel screen ready to install. Flywheel screen bolts and screws ready to install. Flywheel ready for screen to be installed. Flywheel screen loosely bolted on with the four center bolts. Note the upper right hand center bolt is in line with an outer screen hole. It is critical to line this up right or the outer screw holes will not line up. Flywheel screen loosely bolted on with the four center bolts and the six outer screws. Flywheel screen bolts torqued to 180 in/lb and screws torqued to 22.5 in/lb. Flywheel screen installed.

That’s a beast

I’d like a spare set of these

Always nice to see how the rich people live.

I’m using mine on gravel. I’m using my dial adjust to keep blade off of ground about 1/2 inch or so. So far I like it. Shoes are just basically in case it touches. I always plowed concrete so this is new to me. First time I ever ran the shoes. My cutting edge should last a lot longer.
-
Only time I had that happen was a Fram ... go figure. They can be leakers right out the box too. These are the kind I try to buy.
-
As the title says, should I for $600? I haven't even spoke to the seller, so I don't know anything about the condition. But, I am intrigued. If anyone else is intrigued, send me a message and if you're near Park Hills, Missouri, maybe it could be yours instead. I'm just not sure if I'm that intrigued to go look at it.

Don't know really ... every so many tanks or gallons? Every oil change? Every Year? Hours on the clock? Might be different between metal and plastic tanks. Dan and I were tooling around at show on Betty and she just quit. Fuel pump? Nope filter was just plugged solid. Never saw one that bad so maybe just change at every show. Betty goes to every show and gets used a lot by the gals. Somebodies gotta go get ice or the flea market she gets hopped on. More hrs on her than all our tractors put together.

Plastic scraper, flat blade screwdriver (being careful to not take the paint off), rags and elbow grease. No cleaning chemicals or even water. This spring I’ll remove the fender and guards and all and it’s get a proper pressure washing. -
Happy Birthday @pacer, we are all glad you were born.
-
And in 2020 - one of those sold through Barrett Jackson for over a million!

Howd you get that so clean without a pressure washer Sparky? Just the shop vac? Hard to believe. What's your secret? -
I've tried them and wasn't impressed for our driveway. They dug right in. Seems a common theme with softer aggregates. I have two sets of aftermarket shoes I'd sell. Different types.

January 18, 2009, marks the final day of a week-long auction in which auto giant General Motors (GM) sells off historic cars from its Heritage Collection. GM sold around 200 vehicles at the Scottsdale, Arizona, auction, including a 1996 Buick Blackhawk concept car for $522,500, a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 COPO Coupe for $319,000 and a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette convertible for $220,000. Other items included a 1998 Cadillac Brougham, which was built for the pope. (That vehicle was blessed by the pope but never used because of safety issues; it sold for more than $57,000.) Most were preproduction, development, concept or prototype cars. The vehicles came from GM’s Heritage Center, an 81,000 square foot facility in Sterling, Michigan, that houses hundreds of cars and trucks from GM’s past, along with documents chronicling the company’s history and other artifacts and “automobilia.”
