5/8 X 82 Aramid at Tractor Supply.

That's it!

I spent some time cleaning up my shop from months of "lay down n go" so I could have room to work on the dump truck build. I did a rough layout and next step is seating area. That will determine overall length and wheel base.

I exercised Hank and the roadapples tub cart to unload the big show scores.

Time to mow the front and side yard …

'74 B100 helping pick apples and pears this morning.

c’mon now Mikey! We get bills more than refund checks but we still check the mail

I got some from my mother last night!

All I could think of was “he musta been really bored to resort to pot cleaning!”

Happy Birthday from a "Blue Hair!"

You feelin' ok???

HAPPPYY BIRTHDAAAYY KEVIN!!!! @Pullstart

Steering wheel on. New roll pin in. Wheel seals in. I use an old hub as a "driver".. Keeps the seals square and drives them right in with minimal effort. My audience this morning.

Kevin's "new flip flops" are when he wears out the top and sides of his cowboy boots!

Same wheelbase idea as our farm truck. Makes me think if I ever hit the big times, should I buy a cab and chassis Duramax truck and build my own bed out of two new take offs?

Here is how the F-150 evolved:

I had some spare automatic transmission fluid out of the jug, from soaking auto transmission clutches. I pressure washed the underside of the deck, let it dry in the sun, then soaked it good, and let it bake into the deck for the day.

Haha! I do, actually have 3 short frame machines here

It's a great time. Folks coming out from Ohio and NY this year! Bring the Other Half and enjoy. There's trails to ride. Lots of machines to see. Bunch of food. You'll have to tolerate me but get to meet Trina.

The plow with the recently flipped cutting edge is now with the rest of its family … awaiting snow ❄️

Actually that's not totally true.....having a real tussle getting the pin out of the steering wheel shaft @Pullstart provided for me.... But given its a freebee I cant complain. Tried beating it out, drilling it out (broke 2 drill bits), going to fabricate a small 4 ton hydraulic press next...I'll get that sucker out yet!

Almost ready to come home.

Just a couple of clucks--ignore ‘em!

Mowing is done! 1977 B80-8 speed with a 36” RD for the win!!

Both hubs came off just fine. Almost no resistance from the right side. Minimal effort required for the left side. All four seals removed. One axle cleaned up. Seals ready for installation after cleaning is finished.

I see the same Subaru vehicle parked taking up TWO adjacent spaces at the Market a lot. An Engineer I used to work with always had a dozen or so 18" Zip Ties in his car. He would wait for "The Entitled One"like this guy to leave to go into the store and then my friend would Zip Tie a shopping cart to each of the 4 door handles, snap off a thumbs up selfie & leave.... Parking Etiquete 102.

Happy Birthday Kevin! Hope you have a great day! picture of Kevin and Clay Brooks from the 2024 Wheel Horse Collector’s Club

For oil replacment, you need to see what oil you have in there. If your old oil is red, ATF. If it is golden, 10W-30. You want to use the same kind of oil that is in there.

I've parked there, I was a Pro at my job, none better You know the sign doesn't say what kind of Pro...

I once briefly entertained trying to politely suggest that he park somewhere less in the way. My sane self reminded my impulsive self that I could not count on the driver being willing to entertain suggestions or even being unarmed.

Check that! The interior was just as full!

@Condor Here's a few pics of the puller setup I use. This is a home shop made piece. (Not my build). These are 7/16-20 x 3" grade 8 bolts. I put 7/16 lugnuts and washers on to help spread the pulling strain/pressure.

magic 8 Ball says, YES

Yes thank you for sharing the pics they are great the 8ten wheelhorse spindles have been out a couple years i was a dealer for them when the brand just took off i am no longer a dealer but i like all there products spindles, blades, belts, ect and they are a great price and the best thing is they are made out off better aluminum than the wheelhorse ones so they wont be corroded away over the years like the wheelhorse ones do.

With one of those I wouldn't need a trailer, but I would need a football field to turn it around. parallel parking it would be fun too.

I want you folks to know I started out today by cleaning my official Bear Cowboy Coffee makin' cookin pot. I even used soap.

Looks like a reason to buy a tractor.

Plowhenge... Or Wheelster Horse Island...

Here’s one that’ll make a man smile @stevasaurus! We made it home safe from Symco today and drove straight to Grandma’s (95) and Grandpa’s (85) birthday party. Mrs. P’s cousin had her son Gordon there. Well he heard I have tractors with me and couldn’t leave without a ride.

Grass mulch size.

I've got three of them... does that make me a hoarder???

Somewhat of a newbie, here...but for my two cents: I was a Court Stenographer (Court Reporter) for three judges, served in the USCG doing Courts Martial (it isn't Court Martials)...I've worked in my time also with the Fed. Govt. in that capacity and I'll share with you this: Of the probably two hundred lawyers I've worked with, or had occasion to deal with in my capacity I would venture to say that I would trust about FIVE OF THEM...and the comments about possible liability is very real. Testing switches is one thing. Eliminating them, and condoning it? That's opening a can of worms for some "ambulance chaser" to try to nail this site, Lord Forbid, or some individual who advocated safety switch removal. So I must from personal experience, agree with the general opinion, that advice for "removal of safety switches should be avoided". Yes, it's a real problem at times. I just ordered a new PTO switch that are very hard to find for the older WH's..but..overall, I strongly agree with eliminating "advice" on permanent removal...for the reasons I've stated. This is a great site and I do appreciate being a member. Thank you.

ME TOO!

They work great i put 3 brand new ones on my 48'' deck and its been about 400 hours sense i put them in very nice product would highly recommend and holding up great!!

Some people collect weird stuff! LOL

Another year older and still gettin it done! I’m currently alternating mowing between this Craftsman and a couple WH’s I have with decks installed.

Ooooooooooooooo I'm gonna have to put some thought process to that one!
