My first cup holder equipped tractor …

I finally got the new hydraulic lines installed tonight on the Bronco. The two extra lines going to the rear cylinder make for quite a pile of hoses near my foot, but a few zip ties made it a bit neater. And the hood stripe is just a test with electrical tape. It's not staying on. I found some 1.5 inch black stripe that I forgot I had, so I stuck some electrical tape on there to see if black was too dark. I think I'll wait for Terry to get some more made up in the right color.

I got the 753 out this morning to stretch her legs. i dont work the wheel horses has much has the other machines but once in a while i will get this one out. i really need to search for s/g parts this year and get her back to electric start. hasnt been electric start since my dad got it.

After body work. Name plate installed.

750 hrs on this one. Wanted a worker we could enjoy, not sit there and look at... or, flip it just for the profit.

Had to get a pic in the snow. We don't get it often here so...

Sorry for all the pics. The Bronco just hasn't had much playtime for a while. That's gonna change when it takes over gravel driveway duty this spring.

We have 9 nieces and nephews now. This weekend, another first tractor ride. My 4 month old nephew has been sleeping for an hour and a half in the sleigh all bundles up. Now, he’s sitting stationary listening to that Magnum 10 purr!

Bought this late last year , K241 has a broken connecting rod , Have engine torn down awaiting trip to machine shop and much much warmer weather !!

Thought folks might get a kick out of seeing me and my C-120 Auto "Digger" clearing the driveway from our snowfall last week. I have used "Digger" to spread gravel and move dirt for some landscaping but this was a first! Ordered some chains week before just in case but the ATV tires with weights handled the small amount of snow just fine. Always enjoy what these little work horses are capable of. video000000.MP4

@Ifixoldjunk twinning! I’ve got a short Shute currently, but it still performs quite well! Still need to install the wings and skids of some sort. it doubles as a nap tractor too!

522XI finally ready for snow duty. Few odds and ends to fix, but wow this thing moves the snow.

Great find. I had one and its one of those ones you sold and wished you had back. 416-8, with the Kohler, is one of my favorites. I picked up one a couple of years ago. It ran great but didnt look to pretty. Well some custom decals from @Vinylguy,a little paint, and a lot of elbow grease later, it came out really nice. Now it looked as good as it ran. I had the 48 inch deck but with a very small yard I never had the chance to use it.

supposed to be like this:

Thanks to @Snoopy11 I found myself doing some B&S research and I ran across this interesting automobile made by B&S in 1980. I never knew that this car existed. https://www.motor1.com/news/404696/briggs-stratton-six-wheel-hybrid/

I’m 9 years old and I just joined the wheel horse forum! I love to drive around in my C-145 and snow-blow with it. Also I have a raider 12 and a raider 14 for my tractor pulling tractors! I also love to go the Zagrays tractor show in the spring and fall I hope to see some of you guys there this spring!

Very cool! That sucker would be a hit at the Wheel Horse Show’s Friday night cruise

Yep, it’s a 2002 315-8. Only put an hours driving time on it, but I really am liking it. The large diameter steering wheel and the contoured clutch and brake pedal make it real comfy to operate.

bought a new 857 with implements hooked up the single plow and went to town on a rough spot in my yard little 8hp kohler stood me straight up in the air once today lol she was trying to buck me off but i just goosed her and ripped out some old ivy vine growing in there.

I use my walk behind Ariens blower and my C-145 automatic with a blade. Blade stays on the C-145 all year around.

Italian made?

Yesterday I got some good shop time. I made up some metal blanking plates to put in place of the aluminum head when I sandblast a block. I also make some plates to cover the carb and fuel pump openings but didn’t have a pic of them. I have a good rebuildable K301 that had been sitting outdoors for several years. All the magnets were loose when I pulled the flywheel. So after blasting & priming the flywheel I setup to reattach them with PC 7 epoxy. I checked 2 other flywheels to get how far to space them down from the edge and measured 0.190 to 0.240 ths. They were not very precise or even at all. So I set mine down 0.200. For the spacing between the magnets I took a corn dog stick and made a go/ no go width on each end @ebinmaine I'll tag you since you'll be doing this soon. (Yes 3 of the grandkids were here for a few days this week because their Mom had Covid, she’s better after 6 days). I thinly buttered the back of the magnets with the PC7, pressed them firmly on and wiggled them to work the epoxy into the cast iron. Then I used a piece of plastic to check them to be level across the ends I’ve previously bought a couple of brands of heavy 10 mil black rubber work gloves that were fair to junk. I recently bought these off eBay and they really hold up and I can actually take them off and reuse them. As my 18 month old granddaughter says "All Done"

I know that it isn't Thursday... but I was working on this... on Thursday... so... I think it applies... It was made out of an old golf cart frame... HellHorse is a little dirty... had to pull another tractor out of the mud last week... Don

Out for trail ride…

My train layout has become a permanent fixture in our home because it doesn't require any valuable floor space. Our largest room had several ready made shelves including a full length along the outside wall, the top of the fireplace, a half wall between the kitchen and living room and the foyer closet. Track layout software gave me hours of fun, the correct curve radius and amount of track required. An incline with a 2 degree grade was possible on only one side of a 6" high overpass. In 3 years I have not one derailment. The photos are in sequence and start and finish in the same spot

@AMC RULESYeah right now I’m working on a B-80 and putting a V-twin in it for a different class in my pulling club. Also we’re working on a C-105 and going to put a little 8hp engine in it also I’m working on my 3-12-8 and I’m going to also put a pull start in that to drive around at shows and stuff and maybe do a little yard work with it.

New steering wheel decal and new knobs for choke and throttle. I removed the rear wheels to do some body work to the rear fenders. I found out the rear wheels were loaded but I could not remove the valve cores. I ordered new tubes and had the old ones removed and the new ones installed by my go to tire store. I removed the hubs and reinstalled them using anti-sieze. I recently purchased some rear wheel weights and will load the tires after I install the weights. Fenders before body work

Here’s another 420-lse that came home . 290 hours .

I have plowed with my b80 worker in a couple different configurations over several winters and even used my RJ a few times. Since my collection is growing I can see a few more seeing snow duty in the near future. My 1054 that I bought earlier this winter has a 54 inch blade so if all works out, that will see some action next winter and the RJ was fun to use so that will see some work. Do you guys and gals try something new once in awhile or use the same machines every year. My thinking is so many tractors, so little time.

I'm really good at identifying the model of a wheel horse when it's clearly labeled on the hood or belt guard but not so good if that is missing. Looks to be in good shape besides the missing engine. I'd laod up more pics but the seller thought one was sufficient

I tried the Linseed oil treatment on my hood and fenders after scrubbing them with water and SOS pads. I really like the way it came out!

For me at $325 I'd be in the truck & on my way to get it. The engine would be a Kohler K91.

Just put the 520H back in its garage bay after clearing the first real snow of the year. Last year, we'd just moved in and the tractor was still in storage on the East coast until Spring. That winter we watched the county plows take one swipe on the road which curves past out house, and one turn through the cul-de-sac across from us. And that left the neighbors getting stuck trying to get out of their driveways, or the Post Office van getting stuck outside mailboxes almost weekly when it snowed. Cleared it all out nice and quick with the Wheel Horse today!

All winter long I haven’t had a good enough storm to use the blower on. Decided I’d mulch up some snow banks for the fun of it however😅

Sometimes the date code cast into the transmission can clarify, but otherwise that is a 58 or 59 RJ. There were literally 10 times as many 59s produced over 58s. They were mechanically and cosmetically identical. Looks good!

My snow clearing options have been always about the same. My old rat rod plow bolens, and my 310-8 with a single stage. Recently however I’ve been mostly using my plow truck because work has me away from home for most snow storms. No time for using the old tractors I’m afraid.

my snow horses are dedicated and only used in winter. I have been making a few adjustments more weight, plow aligning pin and this year a bigger 54" blade..

Looks Nice! Are you Going to paint the green to match colors?

last few years just use my 857 been leaving it with plow and chains on it just sits same spot year after year i start it once and awhile . have a single stage blower in parts was going to get it going and put it on my c120 but the lack of snow we get here i don't see the point so it sits outside behind my shed in pieces

It appears to be a 1981 GT 2500 Anniversary Special with an 11 hp Briggs B-252417. My neighbor and I have one here in Pace, Fl.

Have you 'dissected' one yet? You might find that cutting it in half clearly shows that it's a seed... or not...

Good goin’ Craig! Like what you said there too…

Laid down some flambeau r, flambeau rr, flambeau rrre. Sorry, I can't say it. I don't care what Case called their color. I'm not color blind, it's orange. Orange I tell ya. I made some orange paint fly on my friends triple 4 Case today.

They aren't bent any tighter than the factory setup, and while the hoses and fittings are rated for 5800 psi, this is a 700 psi system. I don't see any problems.

This should help! https://www.championautoparts.com/Technical/Tech-Tips/decoding-champion-spark-plugs.html
