@WHX?? SINK O DE-MAYO

Preparations are in the final stages for the 2023 Sylvan Lake Memorial Day Parade!!! Official uniforms for the crew of 15 arrived today. 10 years old down to 2 months old... We work 'em young on the railroad... Of course, they will also have conductor hats, wooden train whistles and RED bandannas... 100 plastic train whistles will be handed out to bystanders so the sound of the SL&WHN RR will linger long after we have passed... whoo hoo!!!!

Hi all, did some trading last weekend. I got this 414-8 on trade for the 314h. I’m getting a tiller for it also. Did some upgrades last evening. Looking pretty good. Runs great. here’s the pics. mike

Used the 310-8 (with 10 pinion LSD) to haul my new roller ..finally one that has some real weight...+/- 400 lbs WH is my "Mudder" tractor fat tires LSD no weight no ruts

Loaded up for a Saturday show… Front row: 1054, B-80-8 speed Back row: 876, 315-8

Looks good The biggest thing safety wise is those steering spindles. If it's just relying on those snap rings to support them and hold the weight don't go too fast because eventually they will indeed fail and it's going to stop FAST too. Especially when doing wheelies and coming down hard.

Pickin’ some goose food. Man, I can’t imagine how well that 36” RD would cut if I tuned up the blades! Chickens like the food too!

This should probably be in Bumps and Bruises just for its gruesomeness! I apologize if this puts you off your dinner

There’s a snippet of front end, I think it counts!

I was in Juarez 8 years ago in the last week of April on Business. I mentioned to by Mexican counterpart that he had a Holiday coming up next week. He laughed. He asks just what Holiday would that be?? Cinco de Mayo I said. He roared!! He replied "Senor Bill, that is only a drinking holiday for you Gringos to get silly on too much Tequila". I replied "Not me, besides, that $hit causes children...!!" He thought about it for a moment and replied "Si"...

Some folks have WAY YONDER too much free time!

Ohhh good call! I think that is him! Truck matches his pants 😂

Short of your wheels being 6 feet tall, this should not ever be the case. Your hydro is obviously getting weak. Sundstrands can be rebuilt. It may be nothing more than a valving issue, but something is definitely wrong if 16 inch wheels steal that much torque.

From far away Jim looks like an old lady. Retirement is make'n him soft!

Geeze, And I can't remember what I had for dinner

Folks we're set up over in the far corner by the food vendors and buildings. Looking forward to seeing all you folks!!!

I just love mowing in the spring!! Grass is just so much more lush and green than it is in the dry summer months…

"El Gringo"

Lol Ritchie I was gonna get up at 1201 AM and put that pic up!

Let him know your problem is part of a bigger problem. We’re hauling a D series tiller and a Walk Away to the cheese state, picking up your electric do dad, then going to grab 5 more tractors in the North Dakota, and hoping to be home in time for golf!

@ebinmaine Somebody done stole your rear wheels!

The barrel train belongs to the Pickett club. Jim got the honor of pulling it around for a little while

Yup... will do! You guys understand... but, my 25 year old mechanical engineer son looks at my 's and says "Dad, you have a problem..." I tell him, I know... my latest tractor purchase is still sitting in Wisconsin!!! No worries ... @WHX?? @Pullstart and @Achto are on it!!!

The things you see, schlepping around southern Virginia (Danville). Perhaps an RS member from VA?

Cheers to all who went to Zagray! Ima lil jelly. Gitty up!

Washed the 1984 Work Horse GT-1600 and the 1994 520H… They weren’t happy about getting a bath… The oil light on the 520H started blinking as I was taking her back to the stables, and the Work Horse was running rough.

Nice equipment ! Tractor, yard cart/ trailer, dozer blade… don’t you have anything that needs painting ?😆

The 520H and the Work Horse smiling after their bath… but those smiles are hiding discontent…

Just low rided my 856, that has a HH100 Tecumseh (big block short frame) with points. And she rips but even better fits the rat rod look. Yes I have the drive belt guard just need to shop it a little to make it fit. Took me 6-8 hours to do only specials tools I needed was a angle grinder if anyone was thinking about doing it too and I have it held it with the bottom holes for th transmission at the top holes on the frame and then brackets to hold the top in place if you don’t it’ll wanna fold in on itself

All them little Wisconsinese drunk drivers in training…

My C-120 Hydro was getting slow using the blade to push gravel when it got hot. Figured the pump or trans was getting worn. Put the 10/40 in and have not had the same issue since.

Looking forward to getting this mounted up rigtht away. Build on these is BEEFY. After taking a look in person I can see why I was a bit confused at first how these worked. The larger ring weldment does have an extra set of through-holes that are not tapped and at first glance in the stock photos it appeared as though they would align with the threaded jack-screw holes that are tapped into the gripping bushing, I can assuure you that these are extra holes on the larger weldment an aren't used for anything. The 3 long screws draw the 2 pieces together when threaded into the tapped holes on the larger ring weldment and those same screws are also be used in the threaded holes on the gripping bushing to jack the assembly apart since they bottom out on the larger weldment and do not align with those extra through-holes. Lastly, just as I figured, there are three extra shorty socket head screws. These are simply used as place holders in the threaded jack screw holes on the gripping bushing. Keeping these little screws in place will prevent the jack screw hole threads from getting fouled with dirt or corrosion. Thats all those are for.

Outstanding in his field! Check out the "slippers he's wearin!

Yes, everything leans towards the pump, especially if the tire size shouldn’t effect the torque all that much. The travel speed in forward is excellent but set slower in reverse deliberately. Yes, the wine is the same either direction. using the tiller is no problem, same with the blade. Only the 3pt mower is difficult on inclines. I have a nice rebuilt pump with really clean spline shaft, just tearing down is needed and procrastination has set in! Lol Really was researching the wheel size effect. So, probably won’t benifit to reduce rear wheels at this time?

more for a weak transmission. @Skipper has proven that with a strong hydro, tire size doesn’t much matter.

Loaded up and mostly packed!

You can try going from 10/30 oil to 10/40 and see if it improves. It helped my C-160 on inclines.

@Wild Bill in VA … Hey Bill, is it you? Pretty sure you drive a white Chevy pickup

My boy Jeffrey. Rescued from the city pound during the covid shut down. The city picked him up after he was hit by a car. He had surgery to close him back up and I brought him home after he spent a month healing. He has been the best dog anyone could ask for. He was a 50lb puppy when I got him, now he's 100lbs of muscle. He loves everyone he has ever met. My boy Jeffrey Jefferson

For anyone doubting the advantage of upgrading to LED headlights:

Did a little mowing with the C-105 with a 42” RD…puts down a nice enough stripe

What in the world is that green thing in the back of the truck Mike???
