    It’s time to clean. Close to 40 degrees F today and the 1 yard dumpster is (was) empty... Since I can’t find my 10 mm socket, among other things... it’s a great day to clean up shop!

    Quite a while ago I installed one of @wheelhorseman receiver hitches on my 2005. I absolutely love it and it was an easy decision to get another one for my 76. The newer hitches are slightly different in that they utilize flange bolts Coming up from underneath rather than carriage bolts and nuts to hold the hitch on the angle brackets. That makes it a bit easier to remove the hitch leaving the angles bolted to the axle and allowing the slot hitch to go back on. I think a nice cosmetic touch is the addition of the decals on the square tubes on the later style. These hitches are extremely well thought out and built. 2005 Classic GT 1976 B-160

    My next door neighbor died in 2018 and I had the "pleasure" of cleaning out his house. He was the type of man who was fascinated with tools, but not good ones. He must have had five full tool kits from the Dollar Store which he kept in his car and truck. He had a rolling tool chest with drawers full of sockets and handles. He had coffee cans with miscellaneous sockets. But among the hundreds of tools I sorted, there wasn't a single decent Craftsman or other name-brand. Do I have 10mm sockets? You betcha'. But would I used them on anything good? Not on your life.

    Mrs. P was out helping me pull a starter in a snow bank last night. It was a tight squeeze under the vehicle so I had her running to the mess of a shop for tools. The elusive 10 mm was brought up and was the most challenging tool to find. A couple years back, I only asked for 10 mm sockets and screwdrivers for Christmas in our siblings gift exchanges! Then I see this video! they’re listening through my dumb phone!

    Yesterday at work I had to replace an hour meter on one of these tractors. Build a new one out of the box looked to be in good shape and when I turned it over this was staring at me. This had a sealed back on it! I said that's it! Get a hammer and grab a fork and spoon ! I'm hungry!

    I am trying a new thing, everyday that I go to the shop I try to remove / organize at least one thing. All I have accomplished is hiding things from myself! Not kind of working.

    Every tool in my shop is put back in it's place when I am done using it. When you open the door, the 6" wide path to the left will take you past some of my 's to the tool boxes where my tools are. The 6" wide path to the right will lead you past some more of my 's to the snow blower, and snow plow tractor, where there is just enough room to open the over head door.

    What always cracked me up. Domestic cars: 10,13,15,17 mm everywhere. Rice Burners : 12,14,16,18mm Toyota : 15 bolts to hold the air cleaner assembly on! GM Ford Chrysler 1/4" wing nut! Favorite: Early 80's and cars are switching to metric. 86ish Chevette in the shop needs an engine. They get me a reman engine. The original Chevette engine used metric bolts. The replacement engine ( from older model) used std. We had to buy a zillion bolts!

    There has been a 10mm socket shortage for years. They actually sell kits with every 10 mm socket configuration made to restock your tool box. https://www.amazon.com/10mm-Socket-Ten-Pack-Multi-Type/dp/B07F7LDYJF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=10mm+socket+set&qid=1614083652&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOE5YN1c4UFk5SkZMJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjU2NTY0V0hUSUJKUU5WQ0c3JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyNTg4MDAxQVkyN0xLN1laOEtNJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== I currently have about 8 of them cause I'm a hoarder. I plan on building racks in my shop and acquiring hundreds of them and filling the shelves so when I go out there I can stare at them. When friends come over they will be in impressed with my collection.

    Great idea wallfish. together with your "engineering blueprint" I now have a very good idea how I will setup the jack shalft I had Donna take these photos so I could see how it fits me. I now see I would rather keep my feet inside and stretch the bucket But that can change. I got my second covid-19 shot today

    If you have ever owned a VW, you have plenty of 10, 13, 15 and 17 MM sockets and wrenches. Tool boxes, I'm not even sure how many I have now. One thing I've done is I have taken pictures of the contents in the boxes. It is easier to find the tool on the computer and then which box it is in, then to drag out the boxes and look through them all. For instance...Wood Box #1

    My Kohler manual calls it a "wound field starter" as opposed to the permanent magnet type. doesn't say what it fits. If it is a small block starter I have no idea how I acquired it. I'm thinkin maybe someone threw it at me at the Big Show when I was walking back and forth.

    Got a phone call the other day. This guy sold this cart and after a short time of using a side by side, is looking to build another. I should take delivery of it on Friday for cage work. Time to pull out the bender and clean up the dies!

    @Handy Don Braking the horse (with brake drum on cluster gear shaft) clamps down on the brake drum This will stop the cluster gear shaft which has 2 gears that are pinned with wood ruff keys. The little gear on the bottom (pinion) meshes with the 44 tooth part of the mushroom gear and the 11 tooth part of the mushroom gears meshes with the bull gear of the differential. Bull Gear You can kind of see in this picture. At this point, the differential can not turn...so the differential really becomes the brake. The axles can still turn in opposite directions, because of the pinions in the differential. But with the differential carriage braked, the horse can not go forward. does that make sense?? Maybe this will show it better.

    I must have five or six of those 10 mm socket so but I usually buy a new one when needed as I can never find them! I must have too many tool boxes!

    In my garage you will find a Snap-On box full of most any tool you would need, plus a cheepo box with the over flow tools, not to mention all the wrenches hanging on the wall, and an old freezer with shelves full of power tools. On the back wall there are bins and bins of hardware, trinkets, and do dads. Every thing is there to fix or build most any thing, just no room to do it in. Unless I move about 6 tractors outside.

    When I met my wife she had been living with her Brother and Father. Father had recently died and her brother was moving in with his girlfriend. Both of these guys are/were hoarders. Father fixed TV's and had tons of TV tubes and assorted junk. Brother was into cars. They had one of those little metal sheds stuffed full and I got the clean up job because I wanted to store a mower and snowblower there since I was going to take care of the place. I had a 6x10 trailer. Made 3 trips to the landfill. I counted over 200 semi full cans of WD-40 that didn't spray any more! When her Mother died we cleaned out her house. I found a cabinet where her brother stored used car parts. About 10 sets of used sparkplugs for cars in the 60's along with used distributor caps wire sets , empty air filter boxes you name it. He still does this. He's got a used car lot and 1 bay in the shop is just junk. The only time he throws anything away is when he has to junk a car. He fills the inside with trash and scraps the car.

    @Oldskool 1.Do a trial reassembly of the transmission and check the no I in/out movement of the input shaft. Ideally there is almost none or only a tiny tiny bit of movement. If there is some movement measure it with a dial indicator, dial caliper or somehow precise. Then take tranny back apart and put a shim that thickness under the bearing on the opposite side of the case from the input pulley. This will help insure maximum tooth contact with the inside of the input gear. 2. Since the hubs are off, drill and tap them for a 2nd set screw. 3. If you really wanted to toughen up the axles/hubs have the woodruff key slot in the axles (for the hub key) machined to take a full length rectangular key. 4. Beef up the transmission mount to frame attachment, especially if you will be doing ground engaging work or heavy pulling with this. There are several threads on here for suggestions

    I used Duplicolor silver wheel paint, it's one of the few silvers from a spray can that can be cleared over and still look decent. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/duplicolor-wheel-coating-silver-11-oz-aerosol-hwp101/7141149-p?store_code=5143&product_channel=local&adtype=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiAyc2BBhAaEiwA44-wW-Pb2CHdvWkTnMjwTq4iQqrj75wQ3W1t6AB91QvmhpzwNINIVKuw9RoCMj8QAvD_BwE&store=5143&gclsrc=aw.ds I clear coated it with Duplicolor wheel clear. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/duplicolor-wheel-coating-clear-11-oz-aerosol-hwp103/7141208-p?store_code=5143&product_channel=local&adtype=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiAyc2BBhAaEiwA44-wW4B0GoYBXxeEeyOEDxlozu2Oog-R_P-HZQKDftjy2_XiKTSxcOogLxoCkSMQAvD_BwE&store=5143&gclsrc=aw.ds This pic shows the brushed effect a little better.
