Lane Ranger 10,968 #1751 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Six inch spindles on 319/312 will hold the eight inch wheels! I always thought the spindles were shorter when the six inch wheels were used! Edited January 9, 2019 by Lane Ranger 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,042 #1752 Posted January 9, 2019 Spindles are longer height wise for the 6" wheels to keep the tractor level. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,664 #1753 Posted January 10, 2019 I hooked up the wagon to the 312-8 went over to the farm and cut some fire wood from a downed tree. I didn't take any pictures so I know it didn't happen, but a load of fire wood appeared out side the basement door. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,968 #1759 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Went out this am at my brother David's place to see if the 314 Wheel Horse was all ready for removing snow in the drive . We are expected to receive a good bit of snow tonight and Saturday. As I got ready to start the tractor I found out the choke cable was frozen and would not move. So I used a technique that I have used before. Brought out a hair dryer and set it on the handle, cable and motor linkage for a few minutes. Loosened up and I then sanded the choke handle end and lubed with grease. Works great now! So should start right away.

ztnoo 2,298 #1761 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) @Lane Ranger, Well, I'll be getting ready here too Lane. NOAA says between 2-5", so pick a number. It's suppose to be much more in southern Indiana. All we have had so far is a light dusting twice in late November. I haven't even gotten the "Queen Toro" walk behind snowblower out of the shed yet this winter. I'll be doing that this afternoon and putting it in our attached garage. The name comes from my wife because she owned it before we were married 11 1/2 years ago. She joked then it was her dowry to me, and we still laugh about that. Edited January 12, 2019 by ztnoo 3 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LengerichKA88 1,883 #1764 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I finally got to play in the snow!! I only did one pass for the sake of saying I did... that one pass taught me that I need more weight, and more traction. But dang it, I got to push! 😂😂 Figured you’d rather see my wife’s pretty face rather than my old mug 😂 After working, I took the Charger 10 out to play for a bit.

pfrederi 17,741 #1765 Posted January 12, 2019 Breaking down some tires so I can sand blast the wheels. Dummy me forgot to bring them into the heated part of the shop last night It was 11 degrees this morning.. Cold stiff old tires are harder to deal with. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ones on there are the set I picked up from Lowe’s to use as a floating set. I have plans for them in the future, but for the time being they’re way safer than the ones that were on there. its going to be some time before it looks like I picture in my head, but that Charger 10 is going to look like a Farmall H one of these days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,741 #1772 Posted January 12, 2019 If you are not going to use the hydraulic lift you MUST remove the implement relief valve from the pump and move the charge pump relief valve to that position. If not you will damage the system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shed 248 #1775 Posted January 14, 2019 Well I got a great deal on a predator 212 6.5 hp motor. I was not a fan of the briggs that was on my suburban it was to big to much stuff and didnt allow me to run the factory wheel horse fuel tank. So as I was unable to find the original motor I wanted something else. These motors have a huge aftermarket following too. I also am running a cintrfical gokart clutch and chain so all you need to do is incress rpm and it moves it will be better for my kid to run. It will still have a cover I'll need to make and they even make an electric start kit which my suburban had originally (I believe) either way it be cool 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
