Marylou's running at Meridale NY on Sat. Starts at 10am Stop on by

2 more just came home with me from Seymour, IN today. They were both in this man's family since they were new. I found another 1973 14 Automatic, and a 1966 1276 Automatic. Also got a good extra deck for each one and they both run and mow. Somebody needs to take away all of my truck keys...

I would like to take a moment to thank Martin for his taking the time to steer me in the right direction on several occasions by answering my private messages. He is a one of the kind type of person who goes out of his way to help when ever he is able. I know that his forum is full of guys like that but Martin is special. My hats off to him. Nick

Thanks Denny. It will be our secret. Nobody else has seen these posts. Oh............I'm also 'borrowing' your filler neck extension idea.

Thats great Shaun!!! I can remember back in 1991 wishing I could have a loader for my new 312-8. Still have the same 312 but never bought a loader. Did buy a Bobcat Skidsteer though. Thats a close as I ever got to having a loader on a Wheel Horse.

Shaun, very very nice. I like the bucket forks also. Nice job. Martin is rubbing off on you. Glenn

Tyler It appears to me that your daughter has fallen in love with that tractor. Now if it were mine and that was my daughter, I think I might be forced to paint it pink. What a thrill for her to have her own tractor. She would be the envy of the neighborhood.

I've been staying at the Super 8 in Mankato...nice, clean rooms at a good price. Looking forward to this show again...and that awesome game of Golf on Monday. Frank...they have excellent food their at the show...did I mention that they have a beer tent also?? Here is their phone # 1-507-387-0600

My tractor so strong it picked up my Cadillac escalade!!

We may live in Florida now but we still consider Indiana our home state. I don't think I need a link to point out what Indiana is famous for. WHEEL HORSES WERE INVENTED IN INDIANA! Anything else is just trivial.

I'll bet Dino doesn't guess where I am from. Where are you at Dino? Com'on boy! Here Dino! Well he's not around at the moment but I am from the Great State of Iowa!!! Go Hawkeyes, Cyclones, Bulldogs and Panthers!!! http://www.google.com/url?url=http://www.50states.com/facts/iowa.htm&rct=j&frm=1&q=&esrc=s&sa=U&ei=1f7QU7-9F6rw8AHEt4CgDw&ved=0CC4QFjAE&usg=AFQjCNFiTht1-H4WyW5P14Kcp2djhZzG8w

Ask Bob, I don't sound like I'm from the "Old Line State." To Steve, I probably sound normal! And it's Chi-caw-go. When I was a kid, we use to tent camp in the state parks (White Pines and Lowden) by Oregon. I also had to go to Polo one time for business.

I'd buy Joe's trans and yes Bear's fans are good for something. Transmission repairs, Show pictures, Good places to eat and you tube video's when the Packers stomp them again! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpGFZ-yKX6g

Thanks Geno. I did not realize this newest Pony was so young. No wonder it is in such great shape. Got it from the original owner but his grandson was the one I talked to. didn't know much about it but told me it needed a new spindle on the deck. I checked the deck out today and the spindles are in great shape. They had the clutch belt twisted but no belt on the deck. I will order a new belt tomorrow. Best $400.00 I have spent in a long while. Don't know if I will like that 48in side discharge deck or not. I am partial to the rear discharge. I like the way it leaves the grass with no clumps thrown out the side. When you are finished you can't find the clippings. they just seem to disappear. KUDOS to Toro for keeping and allowing the download of all the manuals from Wheel Horse. Those yellow jerks make you pay through the nose for a manual.

I got home from work yesterday and saw this on CL. Non running C-125 for $150 about 15 minutes away. Nice seller who pulled the ad after I hung up. only for sale for 18 minutes. trashed seat,fender pan, no muffler. plow and hitch retro fitted from the older style, tire chains. turns over and tranny oil good. Of course, all I saw was the rear wheel weights!!! got it all for $125. plan to sell or part out the rest Of course the wife was out of town and now how do I explain this ???

thank you for the nice comments there, Nick. other members have helped me many times in the past, I'm only to happy to pass it along.......

This is what I have... First one is Mike's RJ

White Pines and Lowden were/are the parks for summer camp for kids. Spent 5 summers there. Blackhawk is finally getting redone. Needed it. You could no longer take the stairs up to look out his eyes. Orgeon is where I was raised. Where my parents still reside. Rob

Bob, I stole... eh I mean I got the idea from another member's RJ project here on the forum. Help yourself!

Denny, one of the things that's been on my mind while doing my Suburban is those pesky gas tank straps fastened to the hood. Mine has issues. Well, after seeing your set up I've been pondering and measuring. OK, I'll get right to the point. I'm stealing your idea . I'll try to avoid any patent infringement by making some minor modifications because my hood stand is different. That's a much better setup than the straps. Looking good!

Where can I find the mod # for a 1975 c120

Oh I agree. I was just having a little fun. Actually I have a post where I just got a 416H and they were kidding me about painting it pink so my wife would like it. Of course painting a 400 series pink is not going to happen in my house. Now at the show a few weeks ago there was a very cute young girl on a pink Wheel Horse pulling a pink wagon with her sister in it. She rode that thing around the event most of the day and had a great time.

You stated that your is deck 15-42SC03 and the schematic I posted is exactly that. In that schematic, and in the pic I posted, there is no snap ring on the top..only at the bottom and it only holds the low-end bearing in place. It is not there to hold the shaft from moving up / down. To the contrary, the up / down movement of the shaft is stopped by the pulley itself on top end, aside from the tinly little rubber O-ring. That O-ring is there to keep the shaft from dropping down out of the spindle when the pulley is not in place. Were you able to find the picecs that 'broke' from the spindle housing? If not, then MAYBE that lower end of the spindle had been worn down so badly that the snap-ring was just barely hanging on by a thread...or maybe it was aready completely gone before you started working on it. Inasmuch as the snap ring and very end of the housing is hidden by the spindle cup, you wouldn't know if it was there or not. Then, when you drove out the spindle shaft, you thought you broke the end of the housing when, in fact, it wasn't there to begin with. Once again, I've seen this many times, too. In any case, I was not attempting to be offensive, only instructive.

Now Duane that is no way to talk about your wife ! Nice rear tho...

I have about all the parts you would need to re-build the trans and have a pile of axles..But would need alot more info..What trans are we working with here..axle diameter and axle length...only way to get the length of the axle is to split the trans....or I have had a couple guys ship me their transmissions I re-build them and ship them back thru Fastenal. Their is plenty of options. I buy up used or un-wanted transmissions at about every swap meet I attend just for this purpose..Alot of the parts are No Longer Available thru Toro..

I did see you but you were just pulling onto the road to leave. I did notice 1054 diesel an thought how cool that was. But I didn't notice the horse head. I was parking my bike on the back side of the red barn by the exit.

Wow.

I think you saw my horse head on my 1054 diesel at the Zagray show last week end. Chris from Milford, Ct. made some of them a while back. Russ

No Tom, Lane's right. not on 1054's. A couple years after that they put hood ornaments on the tilt hoods then stopped in the early/mid 70's. If you saw one with the ornament it was put on by somebody else.

Very nice!

What a cool thread! I'm from Danbury, Connecticut. While Connecticut may be known as the Constitution State I believe there are a few other things that put this State on the map. Sadly, neither one of these things are still with us and both of these took place right in my home town, Danbury. #1 Danbury was known as the Hat Capitol of the world. Way way back in the day just about every single guy out there wore a hat and Danbury supplied them. http://www.hattales.com/discover/hat-nostalgia/hatting-in-danbury-connecticut/ #2 The Great Danbury State Fair. This wasn't just your normal little country fair that only locals from surrounding towns attended. People from ALL OVER came to the Great Danbury Fair. My parents house was about ten miles from the Fair Grounds. I can remember as a kid every summer on Saturday night's laying in my bed hearing the sweet sounds of those V-8 race engines roaring around the Racearena! Music to my ears. I was only 13 when it was closed but naturally I went every year since I was an infant so I have some great memories. Poor old man Leahy I'm sure rolled over in his grave at least a few times when his family sold it only to be bulldozed for a shopping mall. I worked in that Mall for a few yrs. on the maintenance crew. Working late at night was often very interesting to say the least. I can remember hearing very loud music that was clearly not from this day and other things such as, horse's hoove's trotting and an insane amount of laughter. I can remember asking the guy working next to me where the hell are the horse's? All he told me was don't worry, you'll get used to it... If you have some time too kill here is a video too watch..

...and a cool hood scoop too.

I really need a front loader in my life, that looks great

This is something I would very much like to attend. Close enough to home, yet a get-away from town. Will check with the bitter half to see if she can get off from work.

Hi All, For those that haven't seen on the MOM forum i have bought a 312-8. Almost exactly a year ago my Electro 12 arrived and everyone said they multiply in time. Refusing to believe it was just living in denial, as ive just bought a 1992 312-8 Sat in a barn for four years, half a days work cleaning the carb, doing some wiring, and building a front weight, the Magnum 12 purred sweetly. And did a full days hard work the following day shifting mud. cheers, Daniel

That's one great looking tractor !

think of the erratic readings as the same "signal" showing interference on voltage is the same "signal" by which you can measure RPM with a voltmeter by winding a single meter lead around the spark plug wire It is also the same "signal" used by the tiny-tach maintenance / rpm meters

Looks amazing!

Bob...I was thinking the same thing about Maryland...Welcome to the BIG TEN.

I clamp a V block to the table on my bench grinder, square to the side of the grinding wheel. Just touch the wheel very lightly and keep checking your length. Pretty easy to take off too much.

Looking real nice! This is really inspirational!

Got some pictures of a couple of the other things I picked up. Here's the patches, a cabinet full of NOS stuff but nothing too special in there. Also the better kohler sign, there were two of them, but the other has paint flecking off on the bottom. I picked up a couple other things, but nothing really worthy of posting. There were a few other off brand parts I picked up and listed on ebay and just about paid for all the little stuff I bought so it worked out well.

Hey...you know it takes big $ to maintain the crossroads of the world Mike. (Try not to miss Dinos cameo here around the 2:15 mark.)

Both of the Deere's are round fender 110's. They are both 1965's The one with the blower is all original. The other has a fast rattle can spray job. Good for 20+ feet

quick photo of the prototype air cleaner I made. I just made it out of stacked pieces of laser cut acrylic. If it works I'll probably try and make it out of ABS.

Take it apart fast!

We will be there Scott. I have saved one of the clocks for the raffle along with some other items.

got it all fixed and cleaned up. runs good now and mows great.

It may be worth checking the fuel tap on the tank . Sometimes the vibration. Of the engine running can wind the tap shut ,stopping the gas getting into the fuel line. This happened to me once . I was doing a show with my GT14 & was about to drive into the show arena when the tractor suddenly died , I feared the problem was serious & ended up being towed around the show arena. I got the tractor home a was too scared to deal with fixing the problem in fear that the problem was terminal. I built up the courage to look into the problem 8 months later , I stripped the carb, changed spark plug ,changed fuel took head off to check valves ,nothing. Then I checked the fuel line , no fuel was getting through so checked the fuel tap . Opened fuel tap , turned engine over , vroom . Found the problem . I hope yours is something as simple as this Good luck
