I didn’t do a build thread on this project but have been working on it for a year or more. Just finished it up last week. Top 2 pics are the day I brought it home.

Especially if you like it, to ride a little quicker. Today in the Morning when i was on the Way to the Company, in a sharp left curved road my rear right Tyre blasts. I instinctively steered again to get back the controll while the car nearly drifts sideways. Shift down and full Throttle to keep the car return in line on the road, but the after hard Full brake it begin to swing again and slide left into a Cornfield. Speed at the beginning was something about 90, so not too fast - i believe. Thanks to my quick reaction and a huge portion of Luck i was able to catch the Car back and set it more less „gently“ into an Field aside without hurt much. At least i was able to drive myself out of the Field and ride to a Tyre Service Station in step speed. After that i contacted the owner of the corn Field, he just said : “ hey Man, you be the the first who feels responsible, so in respect to that forget about it.“ After a pressurewash later and a full complete Check, we need just 2 new Tyres - that‘s all. No damages on the Axles or the Steering system at all. So my advice - please check regularly your Car or Trucktyres to prevent such an issue. It ain‘t funny at all.

Dozer blade for my GT-14, another blade I got cheap because it's bent, 50 inch sickle bar that @wheelhorseman is making me missing parts for it, mid mount grader blade from @wheelhorseman, rear class III hitch from @wheelhorseman, reproduction foot control from @stevebo, complete 1973 16 automatic with replacement K241S, GT-14 parts tractor, lots of tire chains, and a GT-14 FEL from @fast88pu I also joined the WHCC

And they are what I consider a health food !! Only 3 ingredients - corn, corn oil & salt.

CDL… Hhhmmm… Unique Michigan license for @pullstart that stands for: Crammed Densely License

Back Home in Indiana all safe and sound. 1250 miles to and from Gettysburg. I posted pics of the 2021 D Series T shirt I bought. Also thanks to Jim WX24 and Dan ACHTO for the Peanut Butter surprise party! Love ❤️ the Wheel Horse rug to Jim!

Like a rock star! No road issues here, and 8.5 mpg average. I’d say that’s a win!

Had to check this out. Now the dog and my wife are both looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo.

Fritos are awesome no matter how the bag is opened. They are even better if someone else is paying for them!

Heard tell the Zeek would write up his own mother he caught her opening a bag of Fritos upside down....

This theory was infallibly proven over the past weekend's camping trip. Started to rain lightly. Ponchos installed. Rain stopped. Ponchos removed. Started to rain ... Had ponchos stayed in place it would have been guaranteed dry weather.

That's just over 7mpg over here. That'd scare me stiff.

Dig Dug had a good workout this afternoon till dark! Graded and put down a little extra gravel in the mouth of Dads driveway, then did a quick scrape down of some winter humps in mine.(try to convince folks always run on top of the humps to squish em back down, but people are such critters of habit, once the find a line they like they stick to it) Awful nice to have dreaded back breaking labor turned into fun tinkerin!

If the shoe fits.... well ok I just asked Cindaaay to sniff Poo Poos feet... I got the look

Interesting you bring that up. We regularly refer to our K9 beast as "frito-dog".....

Classify as, not identify as

Someone who wants to make sure that their bag of Fritos is theirs.😋

Some one who wants to get cited???

Buying a hydro with out being able to test it limits it to being a parts tractor for me...

Linda: (Mrs. Rules) You have become a big part of this annual Wheel Horse Collector’s Club Show! Your photos and commentary add so much to the event! Thank you for all your contributions to the Wheel Horse community!

I didn't realize this rig was a 454. I'd love to find one of those newer (gen IV?) 454s to put in my 73 vette. Roller cam...one piece rear main seal...*grunts like Tim the tool man*...

Six months ago I didn't know the difference between magneto and battery ignition. Now I know just enough to worry about things. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I was really surprised when it started up, as there is no fuel line connected to it yet. Must have been enough left in the carb.

Some good Nikon photos of the Big Show First Day Registration Lineup ! Trailer loads of nice Wheel Horse Tractors ! And parts and tractors for sale galore!

So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Biglersville.....

It’s Martin Senour base/clear coat.

That looks absolutely flawless!! Beautiful work Denny!! You will be missed in Portage. Who plans a wedding during a tractor show?!?!? Relatives

lol Didn't you say that about a 520?!?!?

Great job, as always Denny. Just in time to take to Portage next week.

Here you go. I started with a method my dad taught me on our farm when I was a kid. First I soak in PB Blaster or something for an hour or so. Then, I take a thin center punch and make a divot on the outer edge of the bolt where it's sheered off. Then I use an awl or an old ice pick to tap it in around and often this will eventually get it out. It is only after I tried all that that I use extractors. In this set I used the no. 1 size and although it has a drill end I used a 1/16 bit to pilot a center punched hole before I used the drill end. After that I just put it in an impact driver and went slow. I hope your hub screw is as simple to extract as was mine. Best of luck. Bill

Sometimes it's cheaper to buy a whole tractor, than buying just an engine. Plus the fact that you know it runs and can listen to it.

Gasoline is ~USD 3.15 per U.S. gallon. vs. about USD 7.00 in your part of the world!

Only as much as the buyer and seller agree to.

I hooked up a spark tester and spun it over. The dam thing started right up! Another case where a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Many people consider “Insurance” an unnecessary expense, but I’ve found over the years the best way to ensure reliability of any item, (other than regular maintenance) is to have a “spare” on the shelf. Also depending upon the item in question, it’s value may have actually increased when it’s finally moved on to a new home/shelf.

Found my PTO clutch problem today while I was cleaning up the bell. I saw that one ear was missing on the outside C clip that holds the stub shaft that the clutch hoop pushes on. On closer look, there was a bunch of end play in that stub shaft. The reason for that was the C clip was not seated in the retaining groove in the stub shaft. Its effect was that I lost about 1/8" of clutch engagement travel. That 'slpains a bunch! On the up side today, I discovered that the local hardware store that is my "if they don't have it, it does not exist" hardware store is also the local Toro dealer. They had a new clutch plate in stock. I bought one. After this evening's discovery, it will be put on the shelf as anti PTO clutch failure insurance. Back to the hardware store for the proper C clip tomorrow. For what it is worth, the clutch lining thickness on a new clutch plate assembly is .138".

My assistant.

What is a 1077 worth?

Now Joe you know I love you and respect your mechanical skills but I may have to whip you with a wet noodle on welding that hub on!

Wanna bet?

I should have known better. Trying to reinvent the wheel here and going cheap I bought this same pump since I needed to buy a couple more. The others I bought the regular American made Facett of which I use several already. Sure enough pump has too much pressure and overtakes float. All imported pumps I bought up to today did the same regardless of what specs said. As I start removing pump just pissed at myself the nipple comes out of pump. And that is with a 5/16” line which is what I use. I don’t even know if I should attempt to get a refund. I feel just like tossing it in the trash where it belongs.

if you saw my rig Norman on duty, would you cite me?

here is my 63 oliver 550: oldest iron i have!

If you look at Facebook marketplace or craigslist in our area all the ‘s that are $400-to way over priced tractors have been setting there for weeks . I think @Bentoolong would agree. ’and another Michigander.

If you blow up the differntial in this one , your on your own. I'm outa trannies.

Got the bucket pivots replaced and those bolts worked perfectly! So now Im gonna replace the other pivots and add in washers wherever needed to remove a bit of wiggle in there.

So for each tractor, we need a spare for insurance. And then, of course, insurance for the spare, and so on.....

Thanks to all!

My Black Horse.

Reminds me of how I used to use Silly Putty to copy newspaper comics when I was a kid. Didn’t ever see rubber transfer on to wood before. Pretty cool.
