8 pointsAdded a new horse to the herd, just did a full service. Now time to rebuild the deck 1999 314-8

8 pointsMy neighbor was cutting hay a few days ago, and was kind enough to cut my back pasture as well. He got more than 3 round bales from it, but of course couldn't fit in some of the corners with the bailer. Since I really hate to waste it, I decided to rake it up and give it to my critters. Needless to say, my ass is happy!

5 pointsMy mom always checked our hands for clean when we came to the table...and sent us back to redo (“up to your elbows”) if she wasn’t satisfied! 😄

5 pointsSo, this rascal followed me home last week. I didn't take any pictures before I started ripping it apart. The salt mine let me stay home for a week, so the timing was perfect. I felt like it had much better compression than my old '78. Cleaned up nice: I didn't even bother pulling the jug, good compression and it looked nice and purdy inside, after removing the carbon. A lot of carbon. Icky carbon. But she cleans up purdy and all. I gave her a tiny puff of ether up her nostril and she fired right up for a moment. So, off to get gas and mixed in some 2-cycle juice. Got most of the covers on and fired her up. I'd painted the muffkin with some ceramic high temperature magic paint that smoke up the whole block, then cleared up and the fire truck went back to the station. The video link is the first few minutes of her new life. She's gong to do the trimming after my 'horse does the rest of the lawn. Tomorrow, Lord willing, I'll get the blade sharp and get that on, plasti-weld the beanie that has a crack, get the covers all back on, and maybe even cut some grass.

5 pointsNice rig! I have a similar machine with the Command 15 under the hood. Runs great and feels plenty powerful.

4 pointsI've been having issues with the fuel pump on one of my tractors. Found one on a C101 parts tractor that I have. I have not seen a Kohler pump that looks like this one before. The top section with the check valves is totally different. Wondering if any one else has seen this style of pump? It was made in the USA. I was planning on trying to rebuild this pump but unfortunately the check valve for the outlet side is too corroded to save. Plus I have no idea as to how to remove the valves to clean them anyway.

4 pointsI was a slacker with the camera at this show, didn't get many pic's. This Cub Cadet with working front assist was pretty cool.

3 pointsExhaust is complete. Checklist as it currently stands: Hood, fuel tank Steering wheel Fuel hose Throttle / choke (?) cables Check trans fluid Draw bar?
-
3 pointsI came up with an idea to make some mandrels for pressing the needle bearings. From McMaster Carr I ordered short lengths of hardened & ground linear shafting and some double split shaft collars. The linear shafting is ground to very precise diameters and it fits the ID of the needle bearings perfectly. This will press them flush to the outside of the case then I'll still have to use a socket or something to set them deep enough for the shaft seals.

3 pointsAs long as your 73 has the original 5085 transmission an 8-speed will be plug and play other than some dinking around to get the hi-low shifter to fit.
-
3 pointsThe later 314/ 315-8 models that became the final "classic" models all had 8-inch fronts. Only the 308/ 310/ and 312 models adhered to the rule for 6-inch fronts. Some 416-H models also had them.

2 pointsHad an appointment with the dermatologist today for a skin cancer scan. The doctor was soft spoken and she was wearing a mask, so I did mot understand a lot of what she was saying. A lot of 'repeat that please' on my part. Just to make sure, I repeated what I thought she said in plain English to confirm what I thought she said. Worked out in the end - all good and come back again next year. Point here being, keep up on your own maintenance checks, and if you don't understand the doc, keep asking questions until you do.

2 pointsSat with water in it Joe... reminds me I should git out in the boneyard and bring some in... naww too dammed stupid...
-
2 pointsAnd don't forget the all-time approved field fix - a new Zip-Tie... I use those on all my winter chains to keep the latch closed in the event of tire deflation....

2 pointsSunday lunch. Which ever of us three boys had the dirtiest hands got to wash the dishes and second place got to dry.
-
2 pointsThanks. I'll look at it this weekend. Maybe sooner if I get a chance. Ended up having to pull snowblower off C105 & put blade in it to finish the job. Probably a better tractor for the job anyway but the 654 is more fun to operate.

2 pointsRight now I am consolidating my vinyl siding stash to a second set of pipe standards shelving and the front shelving will be for large sheet metal parts for the herd. I am sure that it will look better and be more organized with like kind parts together. I just bought a decent Ryobi pressure washer and cleaned the old dust from the loose sheets of siding. Projects like this are tough to keep going, so doing some every day all the sudden pays off after all the drugery seems to result in a break through.

2 pointsEverything to run it is done! I’m thinking a drawbar in case towing is asked of Mr. Yosemite!

2 pointsHa, that's the plan. Find a roller for it and get it driving around by Saturday. Hopefully on Friday. It helps the vendors out with selling parts because we buy all the parts needed, someone gets a running driving tractor for a fair price plus we get to wrench away on one. I can use the pulley and muffler for something else anyway even if that plan falls through and the motor isn't 100%. Still a fair price from Kyle just for those. Last years trans swap was a time consuming challenge for doing that in a field with limited tools. It wasn't a straight bolt on thing. The only saving grace was getting an 8 speed from Van @Wheel-N-It and James or we would of been $100 in the red. Thanks Kyle. Looking forward to seeing you down there

2 pointsSeems like I've seen that style pump on some Kohler twins. You might look if your big D Betty has the same style.

2 pointsLike Mike posted, I have that style on my 16hp Kohlers. When I rebuilt mine, I drove those out with a small socket.

2 pointsThe uni-drive in an old barn find was locked up with a solid tar like substance. I filled it with kerosene and let it soak. Then kept applying torque to the axles till I got some movement. It finally loosened up and began working. I did 2-3 more flushes with the kero till it came out clean.

2 pointsI dunno, but sources on "the street" indicate he was screwing around when there was work to be done. @SylvanLakeWH thanks for the blast from the past. I have a plastic handled 1970's version bouncing around here somewhere. @formariz zat a VA ice bit by the red tipped adaptor?
-
2 pointsBob, I was just reading through this and was thinking if I could find the aluminum one I had on my 701 before purchasing an original pully, I would bring it to you at the show. But now I see you should be picking up what you need tomorrow. Anyway, If that does not work out then PM me and I will do my best to find the one I have that will work in a pinch. Van

2 pointsVery nice. I have one as a cart-toter and it's a great machine. With just 200 hours, yours has sat a lot! You're definitely on the right track with maintenance and Magnum starters sound awful...to be expected. One suggestion I would make would be to clean the fuel system. Pull the tank and flush it (really pretty easy). Replace the fuel line with good quality 1/4" (NAPA carries decent replacement by the foot, don't use clear line or other "best" stuff on the ), Use a good filter near the motor (beneficial as the line degrades from ethanol), and a check valve might solve any hard starts as an alternative to a fuel bulb if you want to go that route. Enjoy and welcome to the site!

2 pointsCheck the AC voltage coming from the white wires. Should be about 40 something at full throttle. My 416 didn't charge when I got it. I replaced the regulator with a Chinese one and everything works fine now. However, since I've also installed a Chinese carburetor, everytime time I'm plowing snow around Christmas, I keep having the urge to sing, Fa ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra ra...

2 pointsPrayers for health. Sorry for your loss. Your talents are amazing. I am glad they offer relief and joy...

2 pointsSorry to hear of your loss Everyone deals with grief in their own way. I too like to get and stay busy with things that occupy the mind in order to pass time. That key is awesome!

2 pointsMcMaster and Grainger don't have an exact match. However, Todd (Redman) has one for me. Picking up tomorrow. Thanks for all the help.

2 pointsI'm with you Cas. Every 3 month's blood tests. I'm anemic. Been that way as long as I can remember. Had to take one of those colonoscopy camera pills which was interesting and drink some nasty crap and a million x rays. All negative. I had to spend 10 Franklins to tell me there is nothing wrong there. That's where my stress is coming from. Went back to work part time just to pay the doctor bills. Now they want me to see a hematologist too. I told them I'm waiting 8 month's so I can go on Medicare.

2 pointsThis is on my RJ and the pipe hits the outside of the hood stand perfectly for the u-bolt to clamp it to it . Also as much gas pipe I installed as a hvac/plumber I avoid using street fittings if I had the choice . Street fittings had the tendency to fit really tight and was either to lose where it needed to be then you really had to reef on the fitting to get it 360° back to where it was needed . A street 90°.is also restricting on the male end when you look at the inside diameter . Also a the street is not much shorter than a close nipple with an 90° elbow and wouldn’t get you to the inside of the hood stand .

2 pointsA 310-8 is a great machine. Sips gas, but plenty of power. Keep the engine oil and tranny checked, and she'll run for a long time. Use ethanol-free fuel too. My 310-8 was my first Wheel Horse, and 20+ years later she's still going (with a few upgrades).

2 pointsA few more pics of the “Repaired” mower deck pulley. Machining almost finished. I’m now waiting for some M4- 10.9 grade csk hd screws then I can clean it up and fit it.

2 pointsWell got in the first mow in the woods with the C100. It did good and made the work so much easier than a push mower I would use. It doesn't look steep and hilly but it is when you're pushing a mower. This should be the go to rig for this job from now on. 42" SD deck. Also did a bit of root clearing with the Barco FSS Pulaski axe. Those are just handy if you've never used one. I use this one all the time. Needed to take out a few bulging roots to not ruin the deck or blades. All in all went well and came out looking like a courtyard! A couple before pics and after!
