Pulled out the old Brinley de-thatcher and Wheel Horse 1067 (1967) yesterday. Perfect day for annual clean-up.

Elmer Pond had a business in South Bend, He made "real" Wheel Horses to the end, in 86 the Company was sold, and so, I am told, Hasn't been the same since then.

limerick: Saw my neighbor Rick climbing around in his tree. I told him "be careful on that limerick, it don't look real safe".

We might have to wait another couple minutes...

I confess... it's mine.

Way… Way… Way… to many visuals…

An Irish Haiku… It Takes the Irish 5 lines To make the same point

As we pose looking for the pot at the end of the rainbow waiting in anticipation the luck only to be found was the charms floating in my cereal bowl

Twas a nice warm day today, warm enough that I wouldn't have to heat the shop up in order to spray. I took advantage of this and sprayed primer on my sheet metal parts after I was done with work. 3 coats of urethane primer should provide enough filler to sand out any imperfections that may be left in the sheet metal.

Most of the limericks I know, I can't repeat here.

If you get too much salt on your glass, you gotta have the tender limerick it off.

They didn't need to, they were all lined up in order at the parlor gates when they heard the vacuum pumps start up to sanitize the pipeline before milking! 'Course they knew right after milking they were to head out to the free stalls for feed.

Today’s trash pick score: 20 ten pound weights… Got them before the scrappers did!!! May need to break down and add some weight to the plow tractors given the exorbitant cost of these…

those look more like @Achto’s Jesus cruisers than my fast of flip flops

Looking for opinions. What do you think this tractor with mowing deck is worth? One owner always garaged well taken care of.

Today, well actually the last few months, I have been conducting a weldathon on this knackered deck. It's coming along nicely though

limerick noun | LIM-uh-rik What It Means A limerick is a humorous rhyming poem of five lines. // The students were asked to compose limericks to help them learn about poetry's use of meter and rhyme.

No, but that’s what popped into my thick skull when I read it in my tired airplane state. * I saw rim lick instead of lim-rick

I try, but it took a few minutes .... Bill

Wow you nailed that one Bill!

Most of the large dairy farms in Wisconsin have now switch to milking every 8hrs instead of every 12hrs. When they are milking 9000 cows, this does not leave a lot of time between shifts.

Stupid cows, can't they read a clock!

One farm that worked at we did not change the milking schedule. 5am & 5pm so DLS milkings were 4am & 4pm.

I prefer my curds to be made of limmerickburger cheese.

by Chicago Does anybody really know what time it is (I don't) Does anybody really care (care about time) If so I can't imagine why (no, no) We've all got time enough to cry Come to think of it I have been sitting here on Red Square for an hour where does the time go?

I used to just have an argument between "me" and "myself". Then I found it necessary to drag "I" in for a tie breaker. The winners gets to have the final say as always, and have a drink to celebrate. The loser is left to drink away his sorrow.

To get back to the original question... I start work in the dark several months a year. That's a challenge at times but we have these "light" thingies. During the busy times I often start and end work in the dark. The actual clock hour doesn't make any difference because our home work spaces are well lit and warm. Where I notice a literal difference is when there's more quantity and quality of sunlight. I feel better. I have more energy. I take supplements to enhance/correct this year round. It's awesome to have more sunlight at home to get more done. Yes... My real issue is this "work" garbage interruption of the "home/play" occasions. I should just become independently wealthy so I don't need to work. 😂

The hour isn't gone. The amount of actual light and dark didn't change. We didn't lose an hour. We won't gain an hour. We simply make the choice to manipulate the designation of measurement twice a year because of a false notion of savings.

Just trade that sundial in for a set of Viking Sandals.......with those on time goes away!

Hopefully we can get it bought, had to work a bit late tonight, so didn't get to go back by there, maybe tomorrow evening I'll be able to. Yeah I know it sounds strange, but believe it or not it probably still saves us money. Between only having the 74 GMC camper that gets about 5 MPG for our only other vehicle, and the cost of clutches in the 81 every time she burns one up If she was my boss I could probably handle that, I mean I've gotten pretty good at taking orders from her the past couple years but I really don't think I would make it more than a day working for her boss. I don't much care for the way he does business, and if I know me well enough I'd open my mouth and tell him what I really think of him and his way of doing business, and that would be the end of that.

Since you are the first to reach out they are yours. PM me our mailing address and I will get them in the mail to you! Dave

New shoes today… Carlisle Turf Savers - Made in USA…! Then noticed right rear hub was in about 1”… hhhmmm. Loose set screw. Hub came off by hand!!! Now I know why I don’t use lift assistance for my plow blade… After a winter of plowing with a manual lift I can take hubs off by hand!!! Fixed and torqued… Oh… the other one is soaking…

Strike two here as I never had to make that repair yet either. Silver solder might be the best but getting to CLEAN ends of the coil is what might scare me. Silver solder will yield the best strength but requires a bit higher heat which may or may not be detrimental to the rest of the coil pack. I would be more inclined to replace but since it's already broke wouldn't hurt to give it the ole college try.

I have number 126, purchased in October from the original owners widow. 17 hours on it, signed by Cecil Pond. Perhaps the only one signed by him? I’m not sure?

I have not had to make this repair but, I would think that silver solder would be the best route. I would also coat/ cover the wires, some insolation can't hurt anything.

No worries… Fixed it for ya…

@SylvanLakeWH AKA” the hub whisperer “ I’ll bet you’re going to be happy with an electric tractor with the price of gas nowadays!

Don't worry, I did my first one last summer with great help from many folks here. I got my parts from Lowell great service. I replaced all seals and axle needle bearings. You will need a gasket for the case. My problem was broken diff. bolt so while in there did the other changes. Take your time, ask questions as they come up and you will not have a problem. Steve and others have great videos to follow. Bob

There was a fine lady from Galway.... (censored)

Deer dropping from a feed with corn and molasses, need to be careful with supplemental feeding of White tail deer. They need woody browse to maintain the health of their digestive system.

Yes you need the shallow pan and the correct connecting rod to go with it. A K301 will use a lot more fuel than a K181. You'll get stranded in the woods.

Fer sure the input & brake shaft seal and a gasket. Perhaps a new shifter boot? Get her split and some pics and we can see what else is needed. This is why we measure a block on a motor build before ordering parts. Yes Lowell will have every thing you need. You can buy his kits but he will sell just what is needed. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/manual-transmissions/

Sitting in MCO airport waiting to come home this morning, I noticed a pair a gear reduction pulley sets spinning these air movers off a 1/2 horse or so motor. No more FL sunshine, but we got to MI just in time for Midwest tee shirt weather!

Check with Lowell, Wheel Horse parts & more. Vendor section.

Is the idler pulley bearing in good shape??

I know in my early days of my mining career when on dayturn, that week would go by and I would not see the sun at all. Went to work when it was dark, worked in the dark, came out and guess what....it was dark. I am not sure an hour of light for the drive home would have made any difference. The milk farmers liked the change because it put light on the morning milkings. I don't think the cows give a S*** if it was light or dark, just milk me!

Uhm no… Time does not get lost… If your fancy clock runs out of batteries and stops running, time does not stop and it certainly isn’t lost… But, does anyone really know what time it is? Why yabadabadoo they do!!!!

You need to install the belt guard. The belt needs to slip around the engine pulley and come to a complete stop when you depress the pedal or it is spinning the transmission pulley. When the transmission pulley is spinning it will grind the gears because they are also spinning. The belt guard helps support the belt loop around the engine pulley to allow it to slip
