balconio 606 #4876 Posted May 24, 2020 I painted the wheels satin black and the hubs/bolts bright red... The look is growing on me. I also put some nice stickers on it Then I used the gorilla cart to haul away some brush to the burn pile and took some loads from the gravel pit out to the woods Fixing some ruts we caused during spring mud season All in all a great wheel horse day! 9 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,578 #4879 Posted May 25, 2020 This gem showed up at my back door today. I used the 312H to drag it off the POs trailer. Hopefully I can get it ready to mow by Wed. The grass is getting high. 1 7 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,343 #4884 Posted May 25, 2020 @Ed Kennell was that tractor stored in a chicken coop? It is ate up and not with surface rust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #4885 Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) removed a tree today nylon straps nice to have - one wide strap around the trunk and another longer / thinner strap attached to that strap and the tractor Edited May 25, 2020 by tom2p 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyToro 1,078 #4886 Posted May 25, 2020 I’ve got a happy kid. We sanded and painted the adjustable weight bar. Got it installed just after lunch. 4 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,068 #4887 Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I got my receiver hitch welded together today. Tested it out by jockying the pontoon around the yard - while the welds were still warm. And, since I know it bugs some of you, I'VE GOT NUBS! Got a question, too. I looked up the C-195 on Tractordata.com, and noticed that it listed the rear wheel size as 15". Is that true?

Sam Pasch 449 #4888 Posted May 25, 2020 I decided to take a break from mowing with the simplicity and instead I used the 867 today. It did ok. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy N. 2,174 #4894 Posted May 25, 2020 Pulled the tiller off of the 312-8 and put the mower deck back on because the wife wanted to help me mow. I hooked up the new to me dethatcher that I picked up last week just to test it out. It was a fun morning of outdoor work together. 4 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,054 #4895 Posted May 25, 2020 I worked on this video of hooking up the tiller on the 502 last week. It is surely not meant to fit, but it works! 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, it looks like there may have been a bag of fertilizer placed on the left front tire and left there to leach out and dissolve the poor girl. It made a nice home for the critters. I haven't been able to turn the crank yet. I'll pull the head tomorrow. Can't get the 8 speed out of 3rd gear either. Maybe tomorrow with a bigger bar. 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
