squonk 41,103 #17236 Posted September 30, 2022 Pin on the height adjustment came off my recycler deck whilst mowing today. Wondered why all of a sudden my lawn looked like astro turf. Thinking how can that pin come off. Then I saw a suspicious looking character wearing suspenders driving a Volvo pulling away! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,483 #17240 Posted October 1, 2022 When towing something a bit on the heavy side the Cinnamon Horse C160 gets a little front end light going up our steepest couple hills. I've been meaning to add some weight for a few weeks. After swapping out the brake shoe last weekend I wanted to go out and get a trailer full of firewood 🪵🪓 I figured I'd see what I had laying around for usable ballast. This morning when I was looking for something else I remembered this was here... Fella I got it from a few years ago said a relative of his used it on a Kubota B series. It came with a couple other weights. One of them's on Trina's 867 Pigpen. This conglomeration is apparently a 6" diameter by 6" tall steel cylinder. The thinner two are pieces of lolly column. Seems to me the assembly weighs around 90, 95 lbs. Cool part is it sets right in the middle of the Mackissic chipper bracket. One bolt to hold it in place. 7 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you hand paint that “wheelhorse” on the hood? And is there an advantage to having the front lug pattern reverse direction? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And is there an advantage to having the front lug pattern reverse direction? The hood side letters are custom decals by our own @Vinylguy Terry. The script is a match to the mid 60s. The color is a custom choice to match the original build theme. Another Redsquare member and I were conversifying on the AG tires earlier too. AG tires have a much stronger bite when spun the correct direction. NON POWERED tires facing "backwards" will bite much better which increases steering capabilities. I've tried both directions with these tires on this tractor. It makes a HUGE difference the way they are. Absolutely recommend it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panther416-8 341 #17244 Posted October 2, 2022 Added another 25 lb weight to each front wheel for a totalof 100 lbs on the front axle and 320 lbs of cast weights on the rear axle. Should hopefully help with both the moldboard and snow plowing. Changed the headlights over to LEDs. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richmondred01 2,237 #17245 Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) 600 hour 520. I’m not sure of the history so I’ll do a decarb and do valve job. I’ll use this winter for pushing snow and give my 160 the winter off. I’ll use it this winter and sell it in the spring.

I like red but not everything red, so I try to break it up here and there your plow looks great!

Ever run front chains? Ever tried reversing the tread as discussed a few posts up? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
