E tank 'em.

More parts painted. Got to make sure I lay down 2 coats of paint and than a good wet coat. Really like my 3M full face mask!

Way to go John! I was thinking about bidding on it but it was kind of too far to drive. Good score though! I noticed it had a funky cast iron steering wheel. It had 4 spokes instead of 3. The welds on the spokes were kind of rough looking so I figured it was partially home made or repaired. Those General front tires are pretty rare too. Good luck with it. KJ

I'll give you all a clue on why that recoil went for so much it not the fact that it's a Schnacke recoil (their fairly common I even have a NOS one) it's what the Schnacke is bolted too. It's the debris guard for a 1200 series Clinton is about as common as hen's teeth I have been looking for one for 5 years now and have not been able to get one yet and yes I bid on that one and didn't get that's the forth one in 5 years I have bid on in e-bay and not won Brian

Very interesting progression is happening on My Old Machine (myoldmachine.com) with building a Wheel Horse from Scratch. This may be a topic worth following!

Twice I think.

Was it signed?

Never tried the cheese Steve, sounds good. I do recommend a couple glasses of Café Zinfadel to keep the cook hydrated while baking. Don't forget the home made vanilla ice cream topped with the warm home made blackberry jam.

for the comments guys

Saw some ads for "MUD SALES".

Chains are a ""consumable"" item -- they do wear out so just use them and enjoy !! (Kinda like the owners that painted the bottom of the trailer or put burlap in them to keep them nice). Just use them and if you desire, put a coat of paint on it but they're meant to be used ----

Chuk 'em into a gallon of used motor oil.

Take your tractor for a ride in the sand, or a gravel road. I leave my chains on year round. Running around the yard, pushing dirt, and just general use keeps them in pretty good shape.

Her Ya go. UMMA's OYSTER PIE Lightly grease a 9" Pyrex pie plate with butter. 2 pie crusts we use the pre made Pillsbury Brand Lay in the bottom pie crust. 1 pint oysters selects or standards Spread 1/2 cup of crushed saltines in the bottom 1/2 cup crushed saltines Add 2 cups of thin sliced 1/4" thick undercooked potatoes. Pre boiled and well drained. 2 cups potatoes pre cooked well drained Add 1 pint of Select Oysters with juice. 3 hard boiled eggs Add 3 sliced hard boiled eggs. 1/2 stick butter Spread 1/2 stick of butter pats over the pie. Install top crust. Crimp and seal crusts and cut slits to vent steam. Bake @400F for ten minutes; lower heat to 375F and bake until crust is lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4 salt and pepper to taste some like celery salt I usually buy my oysters by the 1/2 gallon to make 3 pies, so after slurping a few raws, I divide the remaining in the 3 pies. So I have 1 pint + in each pie. I have a few guests that like the pie, but will not eat the oysters. Another tip.... try to arrange the seating so these guests are close to you so You end up with their oysters. ENJOY !

hi steve, with my work schedule these repairs that turn into projects really kill me. at this point i've contacted mike (racinfool40) for gear parts for the original 416 tranny. because of this tapping hole issue i now think i should split the spare tranny and go thru both. what a major PITA!!! to add to this frustrating situation the 416 is apart in the middle of the garage and i need to get it done so i can work on my truck. when it rains it pours. mike in mass.

Absolutely NO signs of spring here in Chicago Land... I do not like mud.

Another sign..it was only -6 degrees this morning here. My son's truck finally started on its own.

Shorts ol' buddy, Brennen is only sixteen and is just learning. He does a pretty good job and isn't afraid to get hands dirty. He's a good sized kid and might possibly look you in the eye as he is already staring me down. To bad Toro doesn't have any internship as I think he would do great. Brennen keep on wrenching you've got a ways to go before you catch Carl but my money's on you.

Good point, I'd forgotten that. Actually, the static method described in the manual is a little different than the one I was thinking about, but both will get you in the right ballpark. It looks like there's other issues with this engine, so I'll leave this thread alone for now: You're in good hands in that other thread.

No there weren't any made as this is not a production tractor. The person that owns this tractor is very talented when it comes to these tractors. I agree it is probably one that should have been built. It is one sweet tractor.

Get a hold of Kelly, he will hook you up with decks. he will probably see this post and respond.

Remember the ammeter only shows what is being drawn from or resupplied to the battery. If the current draw from the ignition system and lights can be supplied by the stator, no power will be drawn from the battery. The only time a battery should be noticeably discharged is when the tractor is started. The ammeter should show a charge when the voltage output of the regulator is greater than the voltage at the battery. Once the energy used by the starter motor is replaced back into the battery, the ammeter should read very close to zero. Also note where your ammeter needle points when the tractor is turned off. That reading represents your true zero charge. If the needle points to a -1 or -2 amp charge when turned off, that is the mechanical "0" of the ammeter. This is where the needle will point when the battery is fully charged. I have seen fully functional electrical systems show what appears to be a small but continuous negative reading if the mechanical zero of the ammeter is off. In the opposite, a mechanical zero at +2 or +3 when the tractor is off would give the impression the battery was always charging when in fact it is not.

This may be the first time in my life I am looking forward to tornado season!

Agreed, I often think I will offer low but once I actually look at the object I intend to purchase I either offer more than I intended to or pay in full if I actually want the item enough.

Duke, you need to ad "Big Ten champs" to that sign my friend... (I don't know how I missed this thread) -BK

should be set screws face out

We use it to flush toilets when the power goes off.

I would send all the snow to Elgin I'll.

The pickup truck in the photos looks like a diecast and most of those are 1/18 scale which is too big but there are plenty of potential 1/25 pickups out there. I've already built a 1934 Ford pickup but I checked and the bed is too small. Obviously, the coolest way to go would be a Studebaker truck but there aren't any kits available. The idea about tires from farm toys is interesting. I'll have to look around and see what the possibilities are. One problem is that farm tractor tires and garden tractor tires seldom have the same proportions. I made a little display base for my Horse today. It's just a display case from Hobby Lobby that's intended for softballs and hockey pucks with some model railroad landscape items added. It has a clear top so the model can be protected from dust while it's on display.

Must've been signed by Cecil at some point.

Mentone is always the best place to find lots of varied Wheel Horse parts at reasonable prices !

This is the best Wheel Horse tractors, attachments and parts Swap Meet of the year -every year. I have been going for five years. It is held in the Mentone, Town Park. About 200 people or more every year. If you have some stuff to sell or need a part this is a great place. Plus you get to meet a lot of Wheel Horse collectors, etc. New parts too!

Well She's all back together and not a moment too soon… Straightened and welded everything up and got her back together tonight at 6 PM….Had to make a new lift chain as the one that was on there was 5 links too short once I had welded everything square and in their proper position. Much better now and if it breaks after this I will be beside myself in disbelief….. Its amazing how misleading pics can be…Those welds looked a whole lot better in real life….. oh well….

The 2014 RedSquare Calendar is available to I would to like to publicly thank Justin (JUSS10) for putting together the calendar once again. I know that it is a time consuming task, and being newly married, I am certain you have other things to focus your time on, but the effort is very appreciated and Thank You! Since 2008 the release of the calendar has been a highly anticipated event. For the past several years Justin has taken care of this for us. He begins the topic, solicited the pictures and makes the difficult final selection. So if you enjoy the calendar too, please take a moment to thank Justin here!

Here are some photos of my dad plowing on a 1964 Wheel Horse 1054 with a Wheel Horse 12 inch plow made special for the 1054. Here are two videos:
