Achto 27,280 #18029 Posted December 19, 2022 I spent some time doing some fab work today. @WHX?? borrowed me a part so that I could copy it to replace a missing part on my tractor. A couple of pics of the new part next to the one that I copied. Made a puller for removing 4 bolt hubs. Destroyed a POS steering wheel in order to remove it from the tractor. 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you done a build thread on the 953/1054. Looks like a great custom build.

Don It’s got a stock 420 predator engine right now but it will receive a cam, a billet flywheel, a billet connecting rod, a slide carb, and a custom made header. It is chain drive with a jack shaft right behind the engine and a live axle in the back. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blasterdad 2,608 #18046 Posted December 20, 2022 The C-160 got some love tonight, fresh Rotella T6, cleaned out gas tank, new grommet, new O ring in shut off valve, all new fuel lines, new fuel filter, new points & condensor. The C-161 with the snow blower is ready so the 160 will be the plow tractor this winter. The weather man is saying possible blizzard conditions Friday & Saturday here, getting the team ready... 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuneup 1,433 #18048 Posted December 23, 2022 What have I done or what will I do for a Wheel horse today? Nuthin'! At least that's an answer. My days of installing a Muncie under the Chevelle in 0° windchill with my hands sticking to it are long gone. 10° and dropping with 15 MPH winds and 40 MPH gusts. Tossing a log on the fire and sipping coffee - yeah, that's the ticket. The 520H will just have to wait until next week. 6 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,460 #18050 Posted December 23, 2022 @Blasterdad good going on that , not to pick , but perfect spot for a fuel check valve on that fuel pump to carb run , shorten the hose make it straighter , straighten that check valve will hold your next start in view. my 3 engines have it , it works , consistently, have a good Christmas , pete , evil energy 5/16 " fuel check valves , install vertically , arrow facing up to carb , holds fuel charge from pump to carb , no drain back , use just a tiny amount of dielectric grease on barb ends , makes connections smooth / easy . pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
