Going to upgrade one of the horses with this new hood ornament I got from 3D Graphics

My sweet sixteen!

Spent a lot of time mowing our yard with one of these 60 years ago... Self propelled did an OK job but the stalks of narrow leaf plantain were usually left standing. bought this one as a memory but don't use it... Sharpening was easy you added a few links to the drive chain and put an idler sprocket in the top bracket. Smeared some valve grinding compound on the blades and ran it. It spun the backward and sharpened them.

I have no clue but if you tell me where them horses at I'll find out.... Rest assured I'll report back the results.

Put a new rubber grommet and fuel shut off on my C105. Got them from Lowell at wheelhorsepartsandmore and as always, perfect! Was dripping a bit and with fuel prices on the rise, I figured I better get it fixed before I go broke...

Silly question...Where do you keep taps?? Right by the beer, of course.

tell me about it! I’ve been cleaning since Tuesday! It makes a big difference though! here’s an example: Before... After....

OK., I'll log this in my family bible under significant events.

Today I cut out the wheel wells in order to get the hubs as close to the frame as possible. Too much axle beyond the frame increases the chance of it bending. But this post compares two different methods, The correct way that dells68 did it, a work of art vs. the way I'm doing it. I'll see how far I can get before "throwing in the towel" lol

Running over the grass and matting it down before trying to cut it doesn't seem like the best lawn care approach and beating it off with a dulling blade may work though that's not the best either but this looks awkward. Anyone have actual experience using something like this? Too many trees and flowerbeds here but those open areas might look a lot better. Or am i wrong? Don't know... You?

My red ‘83 Ranger got a heart transplant. It went from a 2.8L 4 speed to a 5.0L (306ci) 5 speed with GT40 heads, roller rockers, and an Edlebrock 4 barrel. It’s taken a couple years and it still needs a few tweaks but it is a lot of fun. IMG_7765.MOV IMG_7783.MOV

I finally got around to installing a driveway gate with an opener. The main posts are 4' deep since the soil is sandy here the secondary's are 3' . So 50 bags of Fast Setting Concrete later . . .

Dennis, looks are not deceiving! The mower sticks out far enough that maneuverability suffers and you will have Popeye the sailor man arms from lifting it. However it is about the best attention getting attachment ever made for the RJ/Suburban.

@pullstart...you should put your overdue sister in law in the wagon and take her for a ride over those ruts. Speed up the labor a little

Remember, nothing about W-H is ever set in stone. They're not unheard of, a couple have surfaced here over the years. What model is the one you're looking at now? Copy and paste a couple picts here into this thread please.

I'm thinking short and stocky.

A 12 horsepower Kohler and an 8 speed transmission, a perfect match to do about anything you ask of it!

That one heck of a chrome or stainless front grill. As to its model and year, Its a one of a kind Frankenhorse

I'd suggest trying to find a basket case WH. Probably easier and cheaper and having spare parts around is handy! I'd get it mechanically sound and keep the altered sheet metal.

Smart @$$ !

Look in the shed under the flower pots!

I re tapped mine at M 2.5 and used brass screws with loctite. Usual practice is to peen over the ends to stop them vibrating loose. Mick

It takes a "Big Man" to admit he was wrong!

I can't believe you of all people would make a mistake like that

Looks good. For something like this, I'm not sure if there is a right way or wrong way - maybe just different ways.

I'm in the market for a hard working garden tractor to help around my 5 acre horse farm (rented land shared by 6 horse ladies). General chores include: scraping down dry lots (remove manure piles), dragging sand arena and fields with 4' drag harrow, spraying, spreading fertilizer, light grading, spreading gravel/sand, and maybe moving manure piles if I can get a scoop or loader. Land is fairly level. Mechanic skills - advanced beginner, but willing to try I found a C160 with 3 different blades, a rake, a plow, and a compressor for $1500. Is this a good deal? Thanks! This site is just a wealth of knowledge! ETA- We'd absolutely love a bigger tractor, but I'm not sure it's going to work due to the following: Some of the co-op members aren't comfortable with big equipment Budget of $1500 Need something small because many of our turnouts are narrow (12-15') Storage area limited

I posted in the Restoration, Modification and Custom forum that I was going to repower my '68 Raider 9 with a K301 out of a JD 212 but I've been kicking things around and I'm not sure that's the way to go. I have a B-100 Hydro I have been using to plow snow but I'm going to put the snow mblower back on it after adding hydraulic lift, the Raider will then become the plow tractor. Although the K241 in the B-100 did well with the blower when I had it on there several years ago and it still runs good, no smoke and only slight oil usage I'm thinking the smart move would be to put the K301 in the B-100 and then install the K241 in the Raider. I used the Raider to plow snow 25 years ago with the original HH-100 and it worked really well..... until the Tecumseh seized up. It should do equally well with the K241. It would also give me a chance to give the B-100 frame a good cleaning and maybe spruce things up a bit. Thoughts?

My 66 was painted blue when i got it 😂 and yellow before that...and so on

Gotta work pretty well... that’s the concept for many golf course mowers...

At least it's not green...

I already posted the link in a couple posts above. It was Aldon that made a thread about it.

Don't recall posting that, but then again my mind tends to reset when I sleep. Like others stated though. Cut the nipple off from the gas tank. Sand it down so that the surface is good & flush. Drill the hole out to 33/64" and install a grommet and valve set up. Problem solved without purchasing a new tank. https://www.amazon.com/Grommet-Generators-Craftsman-Coleman-Generac/dp/B07HR6K547/ref=asc_df_B07HR6K547/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309760559241&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6749014850818010037&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019452&hvtargid=pla-653703807007&psc=1 You can also find these parts at a local shop, many companies used this set up.

Finally got a new phone. 64gb..

I’m wrong all the time! Now you callin’ me fat?

The posts are a true 6" in diameter so more wood. 6x6 square treated are actually 5.5"x5.5" in reality and looked too small from a distance. Plus I wanted the multi-dimensional beefier look, not single posts if that makes sense. Posts are cheap down here at Sparr Farm Supply. They make the actual poles in nearby Tarrytown, FL.

I'll give it <24 hours and the space under the bench will be full.

This guy is the coolest dreamer ever! And that he makes it happen!

Very cool looking tractor. Judging by the dash tower I would guess that it started out life as a 1964 model 604 or a 704.

Thats what i was thinking. I picked it up for 100 needs some work to get her to roll. But the engine fired up last night hahaha

My backside is dragging My tractors need servicing Time keeps passing me buy

The posts are 6" wide. The primary holes are 18" wide x 4' deep. I got the calculations from Sakrete. General rule is hole is 1/3 pole height and 3x post diameter. I'm in sandy soil so I followed theirs and gate manufacturers recommendations. I suspect that's why you see so many sagging gates. My gate is 16' wide which is kind of long and my primary posts are 6' high. I did the opposite side the same incase I ever decided to change the swing side. If I was just installing fence, that is overkill except for corner king posts. Gates are a different story. I attached with these brackets and screws. They were about $2.50 at a farm supply store. I needed 8. Same here. Nobody is coming out for a four post pour that would be cost effective. Plus it didn't fit my time frame to dig four holes that deep, keep the water out and buy all the 2x4's to support all four at the same time. I'm like you all, I'm busy and had to spread it out over a few weeks since I work part-time everyday now. That gave me time to get the gate number sign done and get the tree thing ordered and get the opener shipped.
