Driving down the street today and saw this. I have driven down this street countless times in the last 35 years, but have never seen this out before. The owner says he just got it back from the guy that rebuilt it, and it is beautiful. Hydrostatic, 2 speed trans. Kohler K482 motor. Owner says it will cruise at 20 mph. I have never seen one up close and personal before.

Collected our little B111 today from a French barn. spent the day cleaning it and getting it running.

Pretty sparce crowd today and tomorrow probably will be worse with 60% rain forecast all day. I think Edog and arthir will stay home by the fire. Charlie Culley was there and delivered the two 953 wheels that I needed for the Fred project. A good string of RJs 350 HP Massey Bob Druck's pedal cars The last of the Quaker State Oil 104_1124.MOV Sawing oak made the steamer grunt 104_1121.MOV

For those who wanted pics of the Willys. It is a 1955 4WD pickup with the original L6-226 engine and a T-90 3-speed transmission. It has the Warn/Saturn overdrive which allows you to get up to a bit faster (relative) speeds. I bought this in 2007 and just finished it a few months ago. Here was what it looked like when I went to go buy it back in early 2007.

I think the pictures, for the most part, tell the story. Other then the grinder the total cost was $10 and that was for the 2 knobs. The angle is fixed at 33 degrees. It can be reversed for left hand blades. I also set a stop clamp behind the sliding block so I start grinding at the same place everytime. There is an aluminum angle on the front side of the blade hold too so the wood is protected from the vice. Note the notch in the bottom of the blade holder that fits in the vice so its held more securely. The threaded 5/16" rod is threaded into the grinder almost all the way so the grinder can pivot on the rod. 1 - 1 of 1 Posts

I started watching her at 5 months. Tractor tones have worked for nap time for over 3-1/2 years! I am not sure how much longer my arms will though! We drove about an hour and a half today.

Had the c195 out the last couple nights discing and running my finishing tool tonight, even did some night work. Plan to seed it tomorrow and pull the finisher once more to cover the seed

Previous owner ran it up until last month, said it quit running. He certainly caused havoc in the wiring department and couldn't figure it out. So he went out and bought a box store cub cadet. I hauled this horse home and disconnected the harness from the engine. Jumpstartd the engine and she came to life, all gears and mower deck functions as it should. I drove it off the trailer and into the garage where she will be treated to a new harness and grease, oil change and a fresh shifter boot. It has an over sized front wheel from only who knows what, I'll put the correct wheel on it. Another seat for the tractor party that happens every year here in my neck of the woods. Have a great weekend everyone, sincerely -Shine.

Hunting meese got me distracted last night. back at it! running the TIG on this one. It’s all stainless. Much cleaner in the end

I have seen a transmission turned sideways and used to drive a transmission by chain off the brake shaft.

Resemble ?… you’re a spitting image of that remark !

You shoudda seen what autocorrect did with collassal yesterday. Didn't notice it until i had hit the 'send' button. I immediately edited it, fearing what the warped minds around here would do with it!

Another update.....the 1054A ran for the first time in 25yrs last night. Only for a minute but she did fire up!

Can’t be of any help with your dilemma, but that is exactly what I thought when I saw the title… “oh boy, he was at @Pullstart’s and, well… …”

It probable a good idea to drain it and refill with 1-1/2 to 2 quarts of 80/90 weight gear oil. Any brand will do. If the old oil is gray milky colored or has water in it, it’s a good idea to flush it out with diesel or kerosene. Also replace the rubber boot on the gear shift lever if it’s not in good condition.A bad boot let’s water in the transmission

Gotta be honest… I figured this was a bumps and bruises thread pointed at this guy

This box will accompany the tongue of a camper trailer. I need to fab the doors, latches and some mounts for the camper. Of course, I can’t weld on the trailer frame so everything will bolt on. I’ve got one set of hinges drilled and chamfered for plug welds.

It’s dark outside and I need some daylight to do planning for the camper side of things. I need to verify mounting position before welding the doors to the box, need to verify clearance on a few things, etc. It’s good to have the TIG machine back up and going. I borrowed the plug from it for another something at some point so I grabbed another from the store and started laying beads.

Appreciate what yer doing for 'Apples estate Ed dog. Don't like it but appreciate it. Yer in my will.

Anything can be adapted with a sparking magic wand (Welder) This was a while back but I made a rotary broom for the WH out of a walk behind broom. A right angle gearbox could easily make a vertical pulley position. The build thread pics were all lost when the forum moved

Pin on the height adjustment came off my recycler deck whilst mowing today. Wondered why all of a sudden my lawn looked like astro turf. Thinking how can that pin come off. Then I saw a suspicious looking character wearing suspenders driving a Volvo pulling away!

What about this idea

Hey. HEY!! I resemble that remark...

Bill that's not kind of like an excuse. It IS an excuse. 😂😂

Does that sound kind of like an excuse to anybody besides me?

Depending on the year and model number your B-111 will have a "Peerless 669" or a "Foote 4000-5" transmission. Here are the manuals for both of them. I have never owned either of these transmissions so this is about all the assistance I can offer.

vague reference… ancient historical artifact of bygone era… usually seen in conjunction with Bigfoot… please clarify with photos… (cool sign!)

Depending upon demand, that restored tractor could be worth $10,000

Tractor buddy of Dan and I has or had a couple of them. There are attachments for them. Yah Roofs and Palominos are a very sought after ride and fetch $$. Our tractor buddy sold his cause somebody made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Finished up the rear light pole and ran the wiring and my daughter helped go over the tractor and make sure everything was tight, she's really taking a liking to these wheel horses

And remember… it took years to get rusted like that. Don’t expect minute miracles every time

I bought Carlisle 18-6.50x8 Turf Masters and am very happy with them. I did put them on a slightly wider wheel though as I converted to trailer hubs.

I was gonna tell ya it was off the ultra rare C-184 ...I'd really been pulling yer stump tho...

what if you put a c clamp on the ball side of the stud and the plate Tighten it up it will/should put the stud into a bind to keep it from turning ?

Woo Hoo Does this mean there's a new project coming soon? I'm a little surprised those transmissions are that low of an output. 217 ft pounds I was thinking hydraulic stuff would have a little more torque Did you do that cafoose? That kinda stuff is right up my alley

I was rebuilding those carbs in HS. They were only 20 years old then.

I often reuse them, especially when they look as good as that one.......

I just found this on Etsy... very cool. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1160085652/wheel-horse-acrylic-night-light-sign?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Wheel+Horse+T+Shirt&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1 Don

I am the fourth owner. The first was Pacific Telephone (which later became Pacific Bell and is AT&T today). It has spent its whole life in the Southwest, from 1955 to 2007 in California and from 2007 to present in Arizona, so it was relatively solid but well-used body. There weren't any rusted away floor boards or anything. With that said, every part down to the nut and bolt was restored or replaced.

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this ancient camper motorhome bus deal thing. Parked by the water at a lakefront home. Plugged in and running this morning. Looks about 3 weeks older than dirt ... it's pretty cool to see it being used.

It's pretty telling when a chainsaw starter blows up and about 200 guys think "what did he do now? "

The TV coverage is only two dimensional, doesn't smell bad and goes away with the click of a switch. The people who are dealing with the storm's aftermath have my heartfelt sympathy. I know all too well what they are facing and how long they will be dealing with it. God bless them and the people who are coming from all over the country to help. I went through Andrew in '92 and the debris was everywhere for miles in all directions. My house had minimal damage and I was fortunate enough to have electricity restored in about three weeks. If I never hear the sound of countless generators running it will be a blessing. The vacant property across the street from my house became a mountain of trash and the sound of trucks dumping stuff off was 24-7. Once the county dump had a place for the trash to be taken the parade of dump trucks and the skip loaders that filled them were non-stop. Sun up to sundown all you heard was generators and nail guns as the reconstruction began. I had the good fortune of owning a house a couple hours north of Homestead, FL so I was able to get away on days off and had stores to shop in for the coming week's provisions. The few stores that were open in Homestead and surrounding areas couldn't keep up with the demand. It took over a year to get things back to a reasonable level of normalcy.

Not sure on the D series (18 Auto too) , but...YES... the differential bolts (4 or 5) can be removed if you can get the trans case halfs far enough apart o reach in with long wrench/sockets to take them out, one by one. I've done this on a C-160 that had immoveable hubs like yours.

Collosal size!

Me being full blooded hill billy I can't see a problem with that.

Inside one of the walls of our house there is a piece of plywood fastened between 2 studs. On that piece of plywood is the ground breaking date,date the house was started, the date that piece of plywood was installed in the wall. It also has as much knowledge as I could muster about the history of the property and previous owners.. Last but not least it has the signatures and town of every person that helped me build the house. It should make for an interesting time capsule.

This feels really good. Thanks @The Freightliner Guy Kollin for pushing me to get Putt Putt running again!
