Straightening up around here…somehow I now have 5 snowplows and GULP .. 9 axle brackets!! Three mounted brackets and 6 spare/backup brackets

Here in Belgium WH-stuff is very rare, implements unfindable. So I have to fabricat everything I want Rear mount grader Adapter to run a Honda plow A mulching deck reminds me on getting back to work on the front mount air compressor My rear rack, 350lbs on their It can handle all that weight without a front weight, but decided to make one, to be a bit safer and prevent wheelies. And custom 4.5 inch dash/hood raise to fit the diesel engine, it is at an angle to maintain the the steering shaft angle.

When my wife asked me how many tractors do I need? I said, how many did they make?

Mine came home with two kittens for our barn last summer because one of the old ones had passed. She didn't even ask me, she just brought them home. When she walked in with them in her arms, I just said, I have sixteen wheel horse tractors. Her response EXACTLY.

I just took a head off a newly acquired K-181 because I was going to replace the head gasket and spark plug and clean it up. I could get it started but it didn’t run very good but it would run. I think I just figured out why and again believe it or not it did start and run. It had the wrong plug for the engine it don’t sit down in the head as far as it should so should I run it or replace it? 😂

Mine leaves that alone now, I ask her about those 30+ coach purses that are under the bed! It didn't go well!

I had a 301 that would sludge the plug up in 10 minutes. Clean it and it would do it again. Wouldn't make it around the block. Didn't even smoke. Finally I ash canned (sold the engine as I had a spare 321 on the shelf.) Toss a plug and gasket at it. If it runs sell it to @WHX?? before it fouls it up again. If it doesn't run time for a rebuild.

I've been spending March and April sorting out tools in all of my tool boxes. Taking pictures of what is in each box, so I can pull up pictures to find what I need. Way to many pictures to post, but I could show you all of my screw drivers and wrenches. Just know that my Grandfather was a truck mechanic in Chicago. He left all of his tools to me. @Shynon notice the wrench from Owatonna, Minn at the bottom of this picture.

Those axle brackets usually come on a new to us so I guess we know how many tractors been through Sparky's barn....

Tire paint would help as much as lipstick on a pig.

Spring ??????

At 2:40 this morning our friend arrived to stay a couple days. When we woke up this morning we guzzled some 🤠 ☕ and took off for a medium length hike with that friend and another. I'm still slow as molasses going uphill but downhill I'm fine. Getting better. When we got back to the house Trina was still in "go" mode. (of course!!) She started shredding the round fire circle our back and then the friend and I went and helped Trina assemble a combination open BBQ and smoker all made up of concrete blocks. When that was done I helped them move the sides of the outdoor chicken coop into the backyard and they continued with assembly. They made some changes including narrowing the entire set-up 6 or 10 inches so we can use the gate and coop door easier. While they were doing that I commenced to doing a bit of water relocation in the new clearing. Tried to make a wet are drier and also dug the stream a little deeper for better flow control. After.... Fire 🔥🔥🔥

Worked on a set of rims to make up some duals. Welded the inside valve stem hole shut and drilled the outside. Some fresh paint today.

Noon…

I have two teens (17 and 18) that still aren't driving. Covid was partially to blame, as NC requires driver's Ed completion before issuing a permit. Lockdowns meant no classes for almost 18 months. With that in mind, I'm gonna make sure my son WANTS to drive, and knows how to before we get there...

Maybe @Ed Kennell has a bucket you can borrow!

One word: Classifieds

With new rear rubber

Done! Two coats of this paint and I’m happy with the results. I’ll post up a pic of them mounted on the 315 soon.

Morning…

No.... not Whiz and Mow, although I do do that. it was 4 sale on another site just thought if was cool and probably a good idea at the time?

Bench grinder is faster. You can use the fine stone!

I do love Spring...

In case anyone hasn't heard, there is a show in a couple of months!

Loaded ags and weights off. Summer dog muffin collectors on!

Clean it up and run it...with the right plug.

Dang Mike, they look like they would be great for picking up this winter's Doggie Land Mines !!! Nice tires.

Check the High/Low lever to be sure it is not in between the two positions.

I’m not a huge fan of Ag tires, they look cool but serve no purpose for what I do. These Carlisle All-Trails are just perfect!

I run Vredestein 3.00-4 tri ribs on the front and Carlisle Super Lugs 18 x 9.50 -8 on the rear. Got them from Miller Tire.

honest paint....original dealer / owner....needs soap and water...then some love oils.....

Here's one of two, 1974 C160-8 with the Tecumseh OHV160 engine that I own. This is a future restoration project for us. Brought up to Maine by a generous Redsquare member that may be familiar to @Sparky Here's the other one. This one does run and drive. We'll do a mechanical service to it and start using it this year as a worker around the acreage. I've considered using it as my heavy load puller this year to see exactly what we think of the Tecumseh engine.

Tired ‘ol gal

Hmmm. I can come by and help you with the clean up

They are pretty rare over here, sold a couple for 75€/82$. all gone within the week.

Prime rib sounds excellent!!! If you come to portage brisket could be on the menu

No, knife on Multi tool🤷‍♂️

Lowell, looks like you are chewing your finger nails...give up smoking??

Hey some collect flashlights, some baseball cards, one thing about it you wont have trouble finding a screwdriver! that was my max 5. seems like every machine I bought came with one. I am down to three only one useful. brackets might indicate some kind of strange issue. that is scary!

Four snowblowers plus the one I actually use. 2 or three unmounted plows. Don't ask about unmounted decks...

You read my mind!!

Kinda like me with mule drives. A couple of months ago I looked in one of my cabinets and thought how the heck did I end up with this many mule drives?

On the part that your clutch rod attaches to on the rear, make sure the spring pin isn't broken where it attaches to the rod coming out of the transmission....

I searched high and low for original size tread pattern for my L107. The are no longer made. Since she is my work tractor i put the originals on the shelf and went with the ones below. There rears hiding under the chains are originals still say WH. (still working after 55 years) I run Ag treads in the summer and mud seasons. If yours are leaking just tube them.

Going the other way on this... going to thin the herd. Going to find a good home for ones I don't use. If I can get a barn built to house them that might change things.
