I mentioned the eyebolt lag keyway used.  It works great, other than the impossible task of adding the PTO bell!  All great things must come to an end…

 

I forged this cold on the anvil of my pipe wrench.  @Lane Ranger and Rodney Burger had a front row seat to that show!  :lol:

When I could not find the keyway from the donor 12hp engine, I nabbed one from a broken rod engine.  I drove it in without removing the pulley with a punch and hammer.  Then, and only then, did I find the keyway I actually did pack for the show!  :lol:

 

The PTO is now assembled and properly working.  I found the bottom 90 degree angle piece from @ericj at the show.  Thanks Eric, it’s always great to see you!

I pulled the 36” deck off Stormy my 1056 for sale, cleaned the underside well, sharpened the blades, and gave it a grease job.  Then, I mounted it on my B-120.  The field is a good 4’ tall and in low range 3rd gear, I was able to mulch up quite a bit!  My goal is to have a decent little fairway to practice driving golf balls :lol:

 

I must say, this engine runs like a champ with a load or not!

That Machine with this Engine is definitely a Beast i believe it begin to chew up some belts before it stalls.

The Muffler have also a great sound.

 

Ok about the Golf balls we have to discuss about..😂😂

It's good to see that engine is performing well under load and while being worked. I have no idea how long that thing sat on a shelf ( or wherever ) before I got it.

Still firing right up with a single yank?

I love this thing!  It’s a surefire reminder how simple and tough these machines really were!  Really are!  I dug this rock shaft out of my junkyard pile, cleaned it up and assembled it with some grease.  I picked up a tiller at a local estate auction last week for @Wheel Horse 3D and had to clean it up and give it a whirl!

I nabbed some weights (and my first ever Wheel Horse tub cart) at the local estate auction the other day, and these 100 pounders from @squonk at the big show.  Last night I grabbed some 1/2” threaded rod and cut some 10” lengths.  Between the fluid filled tires, weights and chains, I’m guessing I’m around 200 lbs per tire!

It’s a no problem.  Piece of cake.  Piece of crumb cake.

      A new member of the herd. C160/Tecumseh.
      By ebinmaine
      A HUGE thank you to Tony @Docwheelhorse for settin' me up here.
       
      The generosity of some of our members never ceases to amaze me.
       
      This here is another 1974 C160, but with the rare Tecumseh HH/OH160 OHV engine. Made one year only.
       
      It's rough. Very much in need of a full disassembly and restoration.
       
      When it came here it was missing one tie rod and the other was broken off one end.
      Today I popped used tie rods on and Trina used her 867 to drag it from the drive to the shed.
       
      The engine wouldn't move.
      Tin was near chock full of skeletal mouseseses and their house.
      Cleaned that out and the engine spins freely now.
       
      So progress has been made.
       
      It'll be a good long while before we get to this one but I just couldn't turn it down considering the rarity.

      8 speed axle cross reference
      By Ralpho711
      I have a 1976 C-120, 8 speed, that has had a bad rear axle key way for about 35 years.The plastic steel we put in to keep things together finally gave up the ghost last year. I tried some welding but that hasn't held up either. My question is will the rear axles from a C-81 8 speed fit in my transmission? According to the parts lists I found on this site, both trans have 1 1/8" axles and 8 pinion diffs, but the axle part numbers are different.  Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm brand new to the site and think its great!

      I mow 7 lawns on the side 3 are neighbors. One in is a good size and flat. The only pita is a swingset. I like using the tractor on it for several reasons, it does a beautiful job, it needs to be bagged and with I only need to empty twice, my proline 36” I empty 7-8 and it’s a good excuse to run it for 90 minutes.
