I've always been fascinated by numbers and sequences of numbers, but last night I happened to look at my watch. It was 9:24. The date was 9/24, and my address is 924 Chapel Rd. Nothing special happened, and I'm still alive. Just sayin'

Geez and I thought I had too much time on my hands watching the clock for 702...753... 855... 953...1054...

If my brain shrank anymore, Waldo would be able to beat me in a spelling bee. 1st. Word: Cat Cat: K A T Cat!

My brain is already so small that any more shrinking should be minimal. A 26 year old huh? That might explain why some young people seem to be so mind-numb to the world around them. If it isn't on their phone then it doesn't matter.

Thank You, Everyone My wife and I just returned from spending a few days at the beach in the RV. With the summer crowds gone we had a relaxing time and the beach almost to ourselves.

As you know there would be a lot of heat generated with no heatsink and it would probably not last very long. At 0.01015 ohms per foot a piece of 20 gauge 273.7 feet long should get you in the 2,88 ohm range with about four amp current flow. sounds like a plan.

Mrs. Sylvan would suggest that my brain is permanently shrunk, regardless of what time it is...

Hmmm, I just woke up from a 3 hour nap, so I should be good to go.

Brains shrink after 8pm. Hummmmm. Maybe that is why I seem to get a kick from watching Ancient Aliens late in the evening.

I seldom post after 8:00 pm and now there is scientific evidence that we men probably should think twice about doing anything involving thought after 8:00 pm. According to researcher Laura Pritschet our brains shrink after 8:00 pm but do recover by morning, Good night all. https://www.the-sun.com/health/12518825/mens-brains-shrink-everyday-reset-overnight-hormones/#:~:text=MEN'S brains shrink in volume,the man's brain reset overnight.

Flat Earth theory jives very nicely with the International Stop Continental Drift movement as well... Flat presumes a weight equilibrium... Continental drift, if allowed to continue, would jeopardize said flatness through changing weight distribution across the flat earth's plane... wouldn't it? And it ain't even past 8:00 pm...

Good point. I just question everything and try to think outside the box. BTW, Mrs K says sometimes I look like I should be living in a cardboard box in the alley.

Even if the earth is flat, if you walk around the outside edge, you’ll end up back where you started, just by continually walking forward

So, structurally, it turned out well. I thought I had purchased water thin super glue, but it was more of a gel. Will get thinner glue next time, but the super glue worked. I will probably line the ID of the coil with insulating tape or plastic. Or maybe, I'll insulate the minor of the housing. Technique is good, next is hitting a resistance that is good enough. 20ga wire is supposed to be here Friday.

I worked night shift and late hours for years...still a night owl and slow in the mornings...I say BS.

I wonder how this affects folks travelling in and out of different time zones, ie, airline / military air crew? Do the effects of ‘Jet lag’ differ depending on which direction you’re going ?🤔🤪🤪🤪 It’s now 0805 hrs where I am, If I ask the same question later at 2005 hrs will I get a different answer? Or should I just have a couple of JD’s 🥃🥃, and go to bed instead?

Now we wait on the super glue to cure. Getting 1.2 ohms.

So, if my brain is shrinking, perhaps that’s causing a vacuum to form in my cranium, which in turn would explain why it seems to be sucking in stupidity. I knew there had to be some scientific explanation for my getting dumber by the day. Thanks, @953 nut! Oh my, look at the time!

If the continents drift to one side, won't that make a flat earth flip upside down?

That right there is a whole new definition of stupid; and you can't fix stupid!

yep, definitely bizarre and that's disappointing too. There are a few Wawa and Sheetz stations around me that sell ethanol free. right now $4.05/gallon.

Of course the study was done by a woman, they, them, or whatever the right pronoun is

Now available at an affordable price : laser cut 110669 / 102943 PTO engagement plates. These are exact replacements for the 110669 and 102943 plates. #102943 has the extra hole for the spring and has been been discontinued by Toro, but #110669 is still available. Ours all have the additional hole as found on the older tractors. Price is $20.00 each plus shipping. Available in red or black. Private message me here, or call / text during normal business hours. No E-mails please.

That explains a lot

So, 1.2ohms would mean I need to have a 1.5ohm power resistor in series otherwise it will draw like 10amps. Coil uses enough juice that I need a 100watt resistor. This would probably work, but I don't really like it. I'm going to take my first attempt out of the bobbin today and see how it turned out structurally. Don't know if I like the super glue. I'm doing what is called a scramble wind: i.e. I'm not trying to get the rows of wire neatly laid down. Since this is a DC electromagnet, scramble winding is totally fine for the application and much easier to produce; as long as I can fit it into the available space. Scramble wind is less compact than a tight wind. I did wind to the max dims that I can fit in the housing 5.06 OD, 3.375 ID, .530 thick. I've ordered 20 gauge magnet wire, that should let me get the resistance high enough that I don't need a resistor. Field strength will likely go up. Wonder if I'll need to adjust the clutch engage distance or add shims or something?

Does wonders for the rest of us as well. Keep those pics coming!

That probably explains why prime time TV network programing is so mind numbing.

Believe me, it is making me fidget as well but I know that I will need something to keep me entertained during the winter so I will wait. I could likely assemble the entire thing in a day or two but I will try and make it last as long as possible. Taking lots of pictures and posting them to Redsquare also takes time and keeps me occupied.

Save it! They are great Wheel Horse tractors! They helped revolutionize mowing and yard work. First 48 inch mower deck, 54 inch snowplow.dozer blade and they could not make enough of them!

Thanks! That's is what they measured out to.got them on order.

Yep, was originally straight but with an offset angle to keep the arm away from the hood. Good job getting enough leverage on it to get it partway back. My guess would be the lever got caught on something while the tractor was moving--lotta kinetic energy in a moving WH!

Happy Happy Chev

Hi, I'm guessing that this lift arm shouldn't be bent like this? Just double checking before I make an effort to straighten it out. Thanks, Smitty

Wheel Horse published very few service manuals and this one 1978-79 being the first for the tractors. The info applies to older and later up to the last models produced. Just in case you do not have it.

https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/ You should put tubes in the tires prior to fluid filling.

Stuck valve? Timing issue?

This old tractor got put on the back burner for quite some time. About three years ago it developed a coolant leak, radiator had to come out but with the factory wide front axle that meant pulling the axle to gain access to the radiator mounting nuts…not really a task I felt up to trying in the front yard. But now that I’ve got a shop to work in I figured it was about time to get back on it and get it fixed. So we spent last week building a stand and removing the front axle and radiator.

How about some Xi sales ads,Jeff.
