Tractor is finished,rebuilt k91,rebuilt trans,reproduction belt guard and exhaust cover and new lift cable,new tires and paint the next step is rebuilding deck does anybody know what the belt sizes are I have been doing research with no luck.

Hello everyone. I inherited this 704 and have started to restore it. I have been lurking a lot on the forum but I got it running the other day. So far I have changed crankcase oil, gear oil. Cleaned combustion chamber. Filed down the exhaust valve, adjusted the points,cleaned the carb and changed the spark plug. New gaskets everywhere too. Im not sure if that made any difference or if it was just the spark plug that got it running. As accessories I have a mower 36 in mower 5-2362 Unknown harrow Unknown plow Unknown snow plow Just wanted to share. Best regards, Robin.

I just built this hitch a few days ago that can use my 2 inch ball and tow a yard cart. I wondered if any of you guys have done anything similar. I also made a wheight box for the front.

Now I don't FB but my Cindy does and she spied this one.... What happened to my tom girl who dresses wwwwaaaayyyy too much like her dad?!?!?! Wow is this a dude we even know!!?

Speny this morning putting up some industrial themed ornaments in the hallway. Sandra likes the engineering look so got away with some heavy metal on the wall...

I’m outa work for the next 11 days...so everyday feels like Saturday or Sunday now I’m gonna post this side shot I took today since technically I have no idea what time it is or what day it is

Wooo Hooo!!! Christmas light smashing is back again!!!!! I Love this time of year!! Thanks Karl !!! I might spend the rest of my day smashing bulbs.

Installed new hitch from Wheel Horse Parts and More...! Love it!

Yep ..... the one and only Slim... Mr grease monkey, jack of all trades, master of none! Gotta tell ya Kev the facial hair suits you and glad to see you lost the 'hawk. It was fun while it lasted but..... Just so as ya know I am going to put this pic in a frame and on my wall as my fav people.... right next to this one !!!! Well ..... maybe not!

Just a couple of pix of a deck I redid on a 71 WH 800 Special.Cuts surprisingly well.

New hitch has arrived Wheel Horse Parts & More elf made Greatest quality

Snow is dropping fast Wheel Horse fans attach there plow prepared for the worst

Set of five, 20kg cast iron weights. John deere branded unfortunately lol.Very small and dinky, made for compact tractors so will be great for Fred, after a repaint lol

Can’t be... he ain’t wearing flip flops and shorts...

A Belgium made Raider 10 with the 4speed and a Kohler M12 Saved from a mudhole

Should work. If too long cut a bit off the tube. Too short and will not lift high enough add 3/4" SAE flat washers to the flag before it is inserted into the tube. When this lift system was introduced they would not lift high enough. A service bulletin said to add the 3/4" SAE flat washers and each 1/8" washer would change the height 1/2". That should hold true for all of them. Garry

Remember the good old days when we could hot-wire and break into anything. No power windows or door locks and we could out think anything the stupid vehicle through at us?

He probably booked a room with a view of the Landscaper's Shed so he could see the wall full of yank-start weed trimmers!!

I'm feeling warm and fuzzy with all this black hood love, my favorite vintage for sure. A C-165 is pretty much top of my list right now for wanted tractors, kind of leaning towards trying to find an 8-speed as all my others are hydro so it would be nice to change it up. That's a good looking machine ya got there, it will make a fine addition to your fleet.

85 and full sun, the bride requests my appearance in long pants and shirt! Now on to the bow tie. I’ll wear one any day on my truck grille. My neck? Choke me! Thanks for the pic Uncle Jim!

Me thinks both of you should...

I have used mine for 5 years and totally agree with Bob. Mine came on a 312H auction tractor and I was sceptical, but I thought I'll try them before replacing them with steel. I had become accustomed to only plowing my steep paved drive downhill and dead heading back up through the grass as the 2 link Vee Bar chains would not climb up the bare drive without spinning. Steel on bare asphalt has no traction. With the rubber chains, I could easily plow down with a full blade and plow up with a half blade. They work well on a paved drive on loose snow and are better than steel on a drive that has been scraped bare. I see no difference in ride between 4 link rubber and 4 link steel. During this last 12" heavy snow, I used the 312 w/ rubber chains to push is way up out of my basement garage where it is stored. This is on a grass surface. the 312H did not spin while pushing the 54" blade uphill through the 12" heavy snow. It did run out of power and bogged down the engine. I still use the 2 link Vee Bar steel on the 520H for the stone roads and grassy trails. It us unstoppable and never runs out of power. PS Craig, you have seen the areas I plow, you be the judge.

Craig @AMC RULES, I'm glad to see that "Steve on a Stick" is social distancing and wearing his mask! PS, nice tool box!

I've used 2 link steel chains for years But didn't want to on the long asphalt at this house. Last winter was the first test but wasn't a good one because we really didn't have much snow. A couple weeks ago I was clearing new paths through two sections of woods and I was very impressed with the traction. I was pushing stumps and quite a bit of dirt. Personally I don't see where they are as rough riding as steel. If I run down the paved drive I don't feel them as much as did with 4 link steel. 2 link steel are not as choppy as 4 link I guess because they ride from link to link. I was hard sell but I feel the rubber are well worth the expense and a must have if you want to protect the payment.

Highly recommend Fantastic folks to deal with Lowell and Joette

Guys, We all have that addiction, in bought my second, whitin a week of owning my first. It's an expensive addiction, but It's okey!

Why exactly not? @pullstart with no shorts 'n' boots. WTH is this world coming to.....

Bought it for 300€ I call it the kohler express cause, it smoked crazy the first time i fired it up. 1600 hours

I added some supports to my rear suitcase weight bracket today. Until now all the weight was hanging from the receiver hitch. When I built the subframe I drilled a pair of holes at the rear in prep for this and just never got around to it. I bent up some 3/16 x 1 1/2” flat bar. I put a jack under the weight rack to lift it up when drilling the holes in the braces and the rack. In my mind that would maximize the amount of weight the braces/subframe would support and minimize the amount of weight on the hitch. It seemed to work. When everything was reassembled the rack was no longer resting in the bottom of the 2” receiver.

I bought the same thing, but in black. Can't wait to get it on! Randy

I never had a hydro for snow plowing until I got my 416-H. I always plowed with my B-100 8-speed. I thought it was the best and I would put it up against any hydro...and then I tried plowing with the 416-H. I'll never go back to an 8-speed

Very Nice! Thanks for sharing A real restoration by rebuilding engine and trans plus fixing lots of other stuff I'd imagine Look at the list on the page Garry has done then download the manual Tractor belt is 1/2 x 29 deck belt is 1/2 x 30

Most probably was just repainted at some point.

I did try to capture footage of ever tractor related item I could... YouTube video coming soon

This hitch bolts to the top of the plow bracket.

Picked up a C165 today. I can’t resist a 16hp Kohler especially when it’s mated to an Eaton 11. Also came with a 48” deck. It will need the basics to get it running, but the engine is free, and the rear seems good to go. Thank goodness I have a wife who “gets it”. This makes 10 Wheel Horses in my barn, the only bad thing is I’m out of room now! My Black Hood collection is taking shape. I’ll have this one running in the next couple weeks, and hopefully ready for mowing duty in the spring. I haven’t decided if I’m going go full out or just get the mechanicals in good working order and use as is, paint wise. Sorry should have taken a couple better pictures. I didn’t get the number off the tag, I’ll have to get that tomorrow. Heath

Only reason I would do that is if I couldn't book the landscaper shed itself

Really needs a video but here's some after shots and my witness saw the whole thing! I should add that I'd forgotten how much I dislike 4-link chains! I couldn't find all my chains so I quickly through on what I could find and then a bungie. I'll find my 2-links or perhaps add links to these soon.

Photo bombing with Madge showing Dan and Jack red porn... Note said attire! Somewhere I got a pic of him swilling my beer in the same getup! Looks like a couple guys here got their Jesus cruisers on!

Just a little tip. No matter whether you end up painting or coating the wheels, when mounting the tire, insert the back side of the wheel into the tire first so that when you insert the tire irons to get the bead over the rim, you will be working at the rear of the tire, and not touching the freshly painted/coated front side of the wheel.

20201223_071152.mp4 After initially flooding it, it took off. I had o take the air cleaner off. I couldn't remember which way was choke on / off. For the record, it has an arrow.Ran a little rough at first, but with some fiddling on the carb settings, it smoothed right out. I am going to have to get that starter figured out, or get a new one. My 1/2" corded Makita drill has a hard time turning it, and there is no way I could pull start this thing very often.

Does this mean that you're going to buy a black hood and turn it into a "plow mule" or are you saying that I need to??? Either way works for me.

Armor all the seat! That’s the only way, I see to get a seat to stay like new, and soft!

Sideways traction isn't good, if you have a tilt to the driveway, use with caution. The ride is rough, they are best used with the rounded 2 ply tires. Steel chains are better all around, but I will never go back because of driveway damage.

Just dropped down the chimney...!!! Going on the C 105 tomorrow!!!

He better not be working on tractors in those duds!

Is that Pullstart?
