What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,271]

  Got off the plane, drove home from the airport and got right into leaf duty. 
  414-8 with a 42”RD was the weapon of choice to chop/mulch my leaves. 
 Started out doing North/South passes and then did the yard again going East/West.

Changed the oil on my 875. Also greased and oiled the moving parts. It's ready to go to work. Of course I don't mind if I don't have to use it any time soon.

I thiMk That Paint pattern on the rear Wheel weights is Way Cool !!    !! Kinda  looks like a Radiation Warning Sign.... & Nice, Really Nice flameZ !!! My '99 Chevy 2500HD has lavender Ghost flameZ Over a grey paint... She don't look like much but she's got it  where it counts.....    That is 1 Fine lookin Machine there & that Amber Rotator  !... take a picture of that in the dark so we can All enjoy it eh.....? or perhaps, post a short video of it in low light condtions. I'm betting that looks Sharp at night with the Rotator.... Very Cool ... I Like it.

I ran out of paint and time to do the front weights. Maybe this spring it will get done. It's my snow machine and it has flames, so I call it Fire n Ice

Traded my chipper shredder and a Franklin for this 875. It spent a good part of it's life at a camp hauling firewood. It was given to my friend Bruce about a year and a half ago. it had been switched to a solenoid start circuit and didn't have the PTO parts or the lift parts. Well I had the rockshaft and gave it to him. Bruce installed it and found out why it was missing. When you raise the lift the rockshaft shorts out the solenoid!  Engine smokes a tad too. 6 year old Autopart battery still has 230 CCA in it and Bruce says he never put a charger on it ! It's got your standard "Farm Implement Red" blown on paint job but it's somewhat presentable

 

Already swapped out the back wheels and installed studs. Got to rewire it, toss the sediment bowl run new shutoff and gas lines, new trans filter and belt and install a re-ringed Fireball 8. I have all of the PTO parts and going to have to get a dial a height unit and a trans fan screen. Going to make it an "Old School " mowing machine.

I would really Love to find 1 of these Old Classics. Get out the white sheets, disassemble Everything & make it All "new"  again. I Love Old Equipment, Tools & Machinery.

Finishing up some painting on the C101 - soon to be a C-121 Gen start engine.

Still quite a bit to do but almost there.

New shoes. There may have been some cussing involved during installation.
