I always thought the reproduction headlight lenses looked pretty good even though they're overpriced. But... Seeing this broken original makes me sad.

Well, my wonderful Granddaughters decided to pitch in!!!

I was thinking the same thing! My Materials Science prof was a kook, but I loved him and his classes. He used to carry around a three ring binder of newspaper clippings of engineering disasters and material failures that he could refer to at a moment’s notice to prove a point or make a morbid joke. I wish I could remember his quote about why aluminum is such a great material for airplanes, but it had something to do with having a critical crack length long enough for a hungover inspector to see after a weekend in Vegas. Or something to that effect. The giggles ripped through the classroom at the speed of sound…(Rimshot) I also had him for colloids and surface chemistry. Somehow, also laugh riots… Steve -
Was running perfectly after I broke another belt, which I am still trying to figure out. Not it will not start. Turns over new battery and spark plug, but will not start. I let it set a couple of weeks, but will not run.Ahh.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
After an uneventful and slow day at work, I got to work on the C-141 again. I checked out the other rear hub and gave it the same treatment as yesterday minus the swapping out of parts. It turns out I swapped the hub when I built the tractor last year. A bit of a clean and that went back together like the other side. I also after being inspired by @sqrlgtr‘s post decided to drill out and spruce up the headlight bucket on my tractor. It came off great but in the course of cleaning out and polishing up, I broke out the vent on the right side. A little JB weld and a few hours and I’ll be back in business. The black on the lens should hide it so it won’t be noticeable unless you take the lens off. i plan on spraying the bucket with some bright semi reflective silver paint I have, to brighten it up. I plan on replacing the rivets with flat head bolts so if I need to do maintenance etc.., I can pull it all out with two bolts. Back at it tomorrow after work to finish it up. -
I could use that extended steering wheel for a custom project I have going on. Do you have a pic of the correct steering wheel you want for that tractor? Trade if I have one?

Headlight Bucket Refurb
MainelyWheelhorse replied to sqrlgtr's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
@ebinmaine I got the rivets out pretty easy the headlight bucket came right out. In the process of shining it up a small piece broke out but I JB welded it and I’m just waiting for it to cure. -

I’m in a different boat. I lost 2 molars before I was 18, and another molar when i had to get all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed 2 years later. 40 years later i lost another when my dentist hit the root during a restoration. I’ve heard too many stories of root canals going bad within 2 years, and the fact that there was no molar above it anyway, i just had it removed. That was 3 years ago. So now i have 4 molars left, one in each corner, 2 are crowns. I’m always the last one done eating. If i were to lose another, i would consider an implant, or a serious change in my diet.

At Home sandblasting?

This is my setup. TP Tools 960 DLX cabinet and a 80 gallon Quincy 5hp, 2 stage 15.2 cfm @ 175 psi. It's a V4 compressor and is surprisingly quiet to be 8ft away from cabinet. I used Max Line by Rapid Air to plumb it up. They are proud of their fittings I can tell you! I ran it up over the window and back down to cool the hot air prior to the cabinet and installed two ball valves to drain any condensation. The TP Tools water separator and pressure reducer module is hidden by the vacuum. I will be running more line with a couple more stations soon. -

according to google $8000. in 1986 is equal to just over $24,000. today.

I have no idea, but if I want to be able to use it again, I’ll need a new belt. And maybe a cord.
-
Curious, why wouldn't it be easier and make more sense to turn the motor 180 instead of the figure 8 on the belt?
-
Yes, I plugged it in today. And yes, it groaned and slowly took off, just like I remember about 25 years ago!
