C-120 Automatic - Parking pawl replacement
daveoman1966 replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Your C-120 auto is roughly 50+ years old. Inasmuch as you are replacing the Parking Pawl, I'd urge you ---if not already done so--- to pull the hydro pump AND the hyd motor for inspection. There are many internal SOFT brass parts that are very like scored over the years from the STEEL shavings of the worn-down parking pawl. The first sign of internal damage is: AFter warmup, does the tractor seem to lose power? If so, the only cure is to restore the surfaces of these internal brass parts. This is not a difficult endeavor and gaskets kits are available for this Sundstrand Model 90-1136. I have personally refurbished a dozen or more of this very model and have prepared a 'how-to' file to guide the process. It is a free download... here it is: SUNDSTRAND-Piston-Piston-PUMP-MOTOR-Refurb.pdf - Today

Growing up, my dad was always bringing home injured birds he found at work. The ones that stand out in memory were a hawk, an owl, and a great blue heron. I always knew he was a bit crazy, but catching either of those with his bare hands probably could have been entertaining to say the least. He always had contacts that did animal rescue and recovery, but he liked to show them off first. You just never knew what he had in the trunk of the car when he came home!

That’s a 20.8hp engine, and the horizontal orientation would really go better with a “bigger” Wheel Horse tractor. 20hp was the upper end of the range of tractors offered, but it was fairly common in both 8-speed and hydro models. There were 420LSE, 520-8, 520-H, and even D-200. I probably missed a couple. There have also been several people who repowered tractors with that same engine. I’m sure there are threads somewhere here with those builds. I built a 23hp V-twin engine and built up my own “523-H” machine a couple years back. It’s nice to have the extra power if you need it! But I suggest harnessing that power to a stronger frame and transmission than what you’re considering.

They also sit there for a prey to run out to consume what humans throw out of vehicles… then the bird of prey gets hit… Another good reason not to litter…

Snow Blower Gear Case

Is this a gearbox supplied by Peerless? -
hello all and thanks for your time, I am just a dumb kid with dumb ideas, and i have had a honda GX630 v-twin that someone gave my dad because it leaked oil, and I recently got it down and it spun right over, must have hooked up the wright wires, LOL, it wouldn't start and wouldn't start, I was told to "delete" the fuel shutoff selonid and today I took it apart and it fired right up. it was louder than loud, so now I saw how fast this engine was spinning, originally I was going to go a chain drive from the engine over a jackshaft to the chain rear axle that was origonally on the mower, and now I'm thinking it needs geared down a bit at least and I was thinking maybe a belt drive from the engine to the jackshaft. so what would you do because I just saw that the idle rpm was 1400 rpm Wich would be a great deal of a death trap. I was wondering what y'all would do if your were dumb as me? I'll put a picture of what my idea was, the blue represents the chain and the green is my "Jack shaft"

Wish you were closer, exactly what I have been looking for. I'm in eastern Pa.

We have a lot of pasture land around us. I enjoy when hay is cut, because the red tailed hawks show up in droves. For them it’s a field mice and rabbit buffet!

Good point. I sometimes forget plenty of people drive cars. My wife and I both have pickups so a trailer isn’t usually an issue. My truck is the smaller of the two (Tacoma V6), but still has no problem with 6000+lbs. I also have a trailer brake controller that is very helpful when it’s time to stop. The best trailer I ever pulled with my truck was a 7x14 Hudson with electric brakes. It was wide enough to see down both sides in the side mirrors, and handled very well.
-
Depending on your tow vehicle, load capacity, total weight, and brakes also are a factor. I have had one round hood and one 312-H with a deck together on my un-braked 5x8. It was VERY tight and approaching the max capacity.
-
Would you have another base like this one pictured? Already have the recoil. Thanks

Found a Schnacke recoil starter. Now I need the base portion that screws to blower housing. Pictured.

Adding power steering to 520Xi? "Easy"?
Pullstart replied to Cee245's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Would it be advantageous to swap your engine into the power steering machine? Fix that hydro leak and gain power steering? Also, I’m kind of on the lookout for another Xi machine (without an engine would be fine) and don’t mind if it has no power steering… I’d be willing to take your old carcass off your hands if the price was right. -
My only suggestion is to stay above 5 feet on the width. My trailer is 5x10, so nothing with a 60 inch deck will fit on it. Smaller round hoods will fit side by side, but only one if something like a C series or classic. I have transported two tractors but only by turning one sideways and wedging it between the rails. No fun getting it out… I wish my trailer was at least 6x12. I could trade up, but it’s hard to find another with a solid steel floor as I have now. It was home built and is much heavier built than trailers in its size range.

Is this a Wheel Horse mid mount grader blade?
clueless replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in Implements and Attachments
Simplicity Sovereign, and earlier large tractor blade. -
You have confirmed my suspicion. Thank you very much. Perfect response. I do not rely on distance to go indication. I go by mileage driven and I keep track of MPG on each fill up. Marv

Thats a different reason. Maine requires less or no inspection depending on class. Longer registered times. Average to lower initial fees. Semi trailers would be unlikely to be homemade. They'd be required to have safety inspections. At what interval I'm not sure. Trailers under 2K or maybe 3.5K registered weight and privately owned don't get inspections.
-
Changed Price to $3000
-
Is this why most of the semi trailers I see have Maine tags?
-
It might not rust, but it sure does corrode just fine. My service desk sure does get uppity when they ask me to look at rust spots on aluminum panels and I tell them I can't find any rust.
-
Wow, aluminum won't rust !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a guess but could that be because there is no iron (Fe) in it ????"?

Yes, the receiver for the mule drive can be salvaged from any late model parts tractor. A-Z can fix you up.

My home made trailer I built in Florida only required an annual registration, no inspection, no title, not even a VIN. ( all about the $$$$) When I moved to NC and wanted to register it I was assigned a North Carolina VIN number which I was to stamp into the trailer tongue and some paperwork that needed to be signed by a NC Highway Patrolman. My little rural county doesn't have a NCHP station so I asked how this was to be done. I was told to tow the trailer around until I saw a NCHP car and flag them down. Spoke to a local policeman and he said just park it near the county courthouse any Monday since several NCHP officers would be there as trial witnesses. Sure enough, the first one I asked looked at the paperwork, asked if the NCVIN was on the tongue, I responded yes and he signed the paperwork without ever seeing the trailer. Got the title and lifetime registration for less than one year's FL registration.
