Lane Ranger 10,968 #608 Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Rebuilt a Wheel Horse seat my sister helped save w ith new black upholstry vinyl, repainted a bunch of RJ and Suburban Wheel Horse clutch parts, wanted to get my RJ transmssion on the RJ frame today but found a problem with the brake shaft not tur ning and had to contact Stevesaurus for some advice. I was gettting ready to put the new oil seals in the brake and drive sfates (the big oiil seals) and then fill with fluid. But I did a check on axles, drive sfat and brake first. Good thin I did. Steve says I need to take a look at teh way the muchroom gear at teh bottom of the brake sfat goes into the bearing and how high the bearing sits in the bearing race. It is bound up tight and needs to move freely . Will get to that tomorrow! I have anoterh RJ transmssion that is unpainted but operates well. However, I have not taken a look inside it yet. Two other ones I have need major work and may not have 100% surviial ! Edited May 5, 2018 by Lane Ranger 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CountryRock 199 #612 Posted May 6, 2018 Attempted to get all four tires changed on my 246h. Succeeded with the rear tires. The 8 inch front tires, I can not get them on the rim. Looking like I'll be going to a shop to get those mounted, unless anyone has some tricks for doing it. I have tire lube and bars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you clamp a Vice-grip to the lip of the rim it will keep the tire from sliding. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,132 #617 Posted May 6, 2018 Helps the mounting process, to get some heat into the rubber before you start. Easily accomplished by leaving them out on the hot asphalt for a few hours, mid summer. Make sure you flip 'em a few times to evenly distribute the Sun's heat. Sounds crazy, but you'd be surprised how much easier the hand mounting process goes. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CountryRock 199 #618 Posted May 6, 2018 Ended up going to the local Walmart tire shop to get em mounted today. Got them installed on the tractor, along with the new Xtreme mower clutch. Greased it all up, put the deck on and ran it around the yard a bit. All ready for mowing season. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,508 #620 Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Took Skittles down to the bare bones. Put the frame on the rotisserie and got it all stripped, wire wheeled and primed today. Also fixed the crappy weld job on the front. Someone popcorn welded a thick piece of steel on the front to the real thin factory piece. Scuff it and paint it tomorrow and let it bake a couple days. Front axle and side panels are next. Edited May 6, 2018 by 19richie66 Forgot the pictures and you know if there are no photos, it didn’t happen. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
