What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[cleat 6,037]

Got out the deck rack with the rebuilt 42, 48 and 60 decks for a wash, dry and lube.

These are my spares that were getting way too dusty.

Would you share with us where you got that muffler? This looks like the perfect size for my Murray to IH project.

I got one just like it you can have for free but shipping might be $$ ?

It was a tad tall and just didn't look right for me.

Kevin, that clutch disk isn't goin to work well the way you have it mounted there.        

Mounted a little loose maybe but should be fine.  

[Rob J. 1,942]

Well not much today but getting them horses out in the sun for awhile. Got the 1045 on the rack ready to be gone through. These guys just getting some fresh air and some sun. Pure Michigan baby!!!

@WHX?? thank you for the generous offer. Shipping to the Netherlands probably isn't going to be fun 

Besides that I would need two mufflers, preferrably the same.. I'm keeping my eye on some more local vintage tractorparts sellers which might have comparable mufflers. Most of them seem larger though.

As you might have seen I already made my own mufflers but they are a bit loud and don't have that nice factory flange on top and button. So I'm debating if I'm going to make another pair or just buy something.. choices, choices..

Well I’m half way there then. One in the box, one in the shop and one on the way Friday. 😜 I’ll take all the 1045’s off your hands. I know they’re full. 😂

Your pic inspired me to get off my butt & get 2 of my favorite girls out, C's of course, C-81 & CJ7.  ( they are always game for a good photo opp )

The C-81 is going to help me pick up sticks & branches from that "Pure Michigan" thunderstorm that rolled through here Monday.

The CJ7 well.... She just likes to run over them!

Cold ones being root beer right 

[ebinmaine 67,571]

Messed about with a couple carbs this evening.  

A Kohler cleanup in process for a fellow Redsquare member. 

 

Also got back into this Walbro from a Tecumsehorse C160 OHV160 engine. 

 

I've had it apart to clean it out but didn't have the right gaskets on hand.  It wants to run but needs more help.  

I'll order up a kit for it.  

 

Any advice on how to easily remove the Welch plug on the side?

At this years Big Wheel Horse Show in Pennsylvania I had two tractors my B-80 and my 854.  The 854 had not been used for three months and when I went to start no juice from battery.   It would not turn over but I had lights.  So I asked my friend Jerry Karp if he had a jump box .  He said yes I could borrow his. 
 

Interestingly. Jerry had a lithium ion  battery device I had not seen before.  A GB-70 2000 amp battery charger/jump starter.  So I hooked it up and boom right away the 854 started.  I liked that it was compact about a third the size or less of most jump boxes I had in the past.  I still have one from Harbor Freight but did not that to Gettysburg this year. 
 

So I checked it out and liked it. It has a light. , ports for other devices like IPad, laptop or I phone.  Made in Malaysia and comes with four or five electric plug connectors as it is sold world wide.  
 

It costs between $175 and $225 depending on seller but it fits easily under a seat.  

A perfect thing to take to tractor shows.

This is how I do it but some folks try other methods to avoid the shavings but I don't really get that. It's torn down and being cleaned anyway right 

 

Replacements (other than bags of 100) can sometimes be challenging but maybe you have a good source.
