rjg854 11,361 #854 Posted July 2, 2018 Well being close to a hundred degrees the last couple days I spent that time in the barn with the a/C on working on the tractors. I started putting on things I got at the Big Show . Took the tall chute blower apart and ordered bearings and the idler sprockets it needs. Put new deck wheels on the 42 inch RD deck I bought. I'd like to find the double D blades it needs at some time too. Started cleaning up the rims on the Commandos they're looking kinda rusty. I know I can find lots to do out in barn in order to beat the heat. My job building houses has me outside year round so any opportunity to be this heat, I'm all over it. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #857 Posted July 2, 2018 Some father/son time in the corral this afternoon... This first picture would be a great “caption this” shot! Hoping to get these two tractors ready for the 4th of July parade... The Super C needed some Hydro linkage cleaning and adjustment and a good waxing. I honestly wish it looked this good in person but at least it photographs well Caleb’s hubs are a little worn and the keys are shot. Trying to at least get it functional for Wednesday. We will need to order new axle seals and probably get a set of hubs. However, Caleb will post pics in his thread and gather opinions there...I love working with this guy! 5 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,361 #868 Posted July 4, 2018 I'm gonna change this just a wee bit and call this entry what will I do with my Wheel Horse today. I've got some Commando parts that 953 gave me after he took the transmission. So I'm gonna cannibalize what's left and change some of what's no great on one of mine for what's in better shape on the other, Then clean up what's left and stow parts away for safe keeping. ya jut never know when you need a part, or maybe have some things for someone else. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,484 #869 Posted July 4, 2018 Got out the B80 Patriot Horse for the first time since 6/9 or 6/10 and towed the utility trailer down to the backyard for the trailer to be re-decked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #871 Posted July 4, 2018 Woke up kinda motivated....so out came the 8 speed in my C-165 that was leaking from everywhere! It’s was a hot one in the garage, about 94 degrees, but in went a nice dry tight 8 speed. Took it for a spin around the yard and all seems good 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,826 #872 Posted July 4, 2018 Almost too hot to work in the garage. Mid 90’s. But like @Sparky, I managed a few hours with the granddaughters working at repairing the hack job frame repair some prior owner did to the 551 I picked up at the show. Managed to get the welds removed. Will work in an appropriate repair while we wait on axle seals to arrive. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 551 here that is missing the complete rear plate so have nothing to go by. PO gave up on the project after removing what was left of it. Transmission hole spacing not a problem but don't know how far above the frame they are. Are they centered on the frame width? Is the plate even with the bottom of the frame? Also how far above the frame is the center of the clutch shaft? How far from the plate to the center of the shaft? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given my experience with GT 14 hubs (removing them without breaking them, that is) a big July 4th Congratulations! I'm celebrating with you with a little super high proof rum, right now!!! 151 Proof, to be exact. Some of my local friends call it "Jet Fuel". Since you are on a run......might as well try a few more hubs! It's hot today, so cast iron is about as expanded naturally as is likely to be without a torch...... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
