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.

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

Both are great tractors. The H is priced very fairly in my opinion. I've never owned an H but have ran a few, always thought I'd want one for mowing and light chores around the place, smaller and more nimble than my M, but still powerful enough to suit my needs. But then I bought my 1949 C this past spring and I must say it has became my favorite tractor. Yes it's smaller and less powerful than the H, but don't discount it's small size, it has proven to be more than capable for what I use it for. It pulls my Servis 5' mower with ease, and is much lighter and easier to haul than an H would be. Took it to our yearly Threshing Bee this past weekend, bunch of us were playing in the field the day before the show, hooked her to a 2 bottom plow and she pulled it with no problems. The only complaint I have with my C is rear tires, 11.2-36 tires are much harder to find and considerably more expensive than their 38" counterparts found on the H and M models.

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 ?

How about a nut buster? Probably borrow one from oriellies or autozone

That's from the girls that can't handle whiskey. It's not the best whiskey I've ever had but it's not bad iced. It's the 101 proof that makes it strong compared to most which are 80 proof. Straight warm shots are strong and hard.

And it is now?

I'm thinking I caught this just in time. Doesn't look to be long before this blew all the way. Looks like it was leaking a bit already based on the soot around the bolt hole.

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

They aren’t supposed to be, but I have with a light coat of some copper RTV in the past… just to see how long it’ll last. Still kickin’!

If I was to go with a bigger tractor -- it would be an Ford 8N. My grandpa had one and I am a big fan of them. The problem is that I currently have a 2.5 car garage, with one stall being consumed by my Willys, the other with my modern-day Jeep, and the half stall is my workshop. I could potentially fit it next to the garage, but our silly HOA would likely complain and it isn't very easy to conceal to appease them. Which is what sent me down this whole garden tractor rabbit hole. I have more storage options with something small like an RJ35 or RJ58. At some point I hope to get more garage space where I could fit an 8N but that will likely be 10 years or more away.

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.

C series. IH Farmall that is Threw that pic up just to see if I could get any bites...

Our prayers go out to the folks in the southwest and central Florida areas. Hopefully you've been in contact with your family. The east coast was mainly a rain event with some damage. Deltona is pretty much under water since it was built on pretty much a swamp. Our daughter took this picture of the dock I built years ago. The two posts sticking out of the water are actually 4' above the dock platform. Shortly before selling the house to move back up here the water was so low I was mowing around those posts on the tractor and I'd just have to duck a little to go under it. At it's normal depth the water is about 30' out from the chain link fence.

Colossus project Fabled giant tractor beast Awaits it's new shop. 🐻

So... Question here. Is this like a sketch when yer feeling kinda angry ? ok draw!! I know ya meant crudely but I couldn'a help mahself...

Yes. Didn't have to touch them, they were perfect. Just finished reinstalling the head. Hone marks still visible all around, top to bottom. Valves perfectly seating. LOTS of soot though, plug was black with it. Obviously running very rich. Plug IS the wrong heat range too. Between too rich, and too cold plug, might explain the popping. So, I'll get a new plug and super clean the carb and see how that goes.

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

The Palominos are nice. I missed out on one of those which was close by but ended up with a Roof 60. Basically the same tractor but without the Jeep body style. Makes a nice 2 seat show cruiser.
