Ran it around the back 40 a few times.I was skeptical,it did the job.The grass and weeds should appreciate it,the worms,not so much. Why not the worms?

My aerator doesn’t really need any extra weight🏋️ to get it to sink it’s teeth in. Edited March 30, 2022 by ranger 10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That looks more like some weapon of war than a garden tool C121 pulls it no problem, although I could do with a pair of ‘Transport’ ’ wheels on the back, so I can lift to transfer weight onto the ‘Horse’s’ rear end, for extra traction when the paddocks are on the ‘wet’ side! At the moment I’m just pulling a dead weight. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,968 #15134 Posted March 31, 2022 I changed the head and head gasket changed on my 754 Wheel Horse yesterday. The old head had a problem - only a couple threads still in the spark plug hole and the head gasket was leaking. I bought this in Florida and my friend Rodney Burger had a replacement head that I used. Bought some new grade 8 bolts for the head and torqued them down with 15 to 20 ponds torque as specified by Kohler. Adjusted carb a little after putting on the air cleaner and my hood. I ran it around and she runs great for a 58 year old tractor. It has a special brass door knob shifter too!

Fishroe 261 #15136 Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Went to Tractor Supply today to get chicken feed and I always do a drive by in the small engine section. Well they had 3 tractor seats sale price tag on the shelf 109.99 got to register and it rung up 129.00 cashier got the manager. She let me have it for sale price then ripped the tag off shelf. Then cashier said I had a $10 credit. So everything worked out good. $99 is still high I think Got tired of looking at this ugly seat. Lights have been blinking in the house. Storms coming up the east coast a couple tornado warnings 40 miles north of me Dont want to see that Edited March 31, 2022 by Fishroe 13 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,277 #15137 Posted March 31, 2022 And I got into some trannys stuff today. A spare transmission I had laying around with welded on hubs. A real struggle getting those of. After all that grinding, they looked horrible, but cleaned them up as good as I could Of course, in the progress the c clip on the axle inside the tranny came loose. So I had to open it. 5 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still in the case half to get it out and chuck the axle in a lathe and take the weld off. How bad were the axles messed up a PO had to weld them on? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
