What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[D_Mac 8,610]

Well got some stuff in the mail today. Got this nice spark plug / coil wire from @squonk He was kind enough to send it as a gift. Thanks Mike ! I also got my engine mounts. Replacing the rubber mounts with solid mounts. I havent tried to install them yet because I was busy painting the wheels!. I brushed a coat on first then used spray can to finish. They came out pretty good I guess. I am never happy with any of my painting. I forget the color name but it isnt " WHITE". Its a 10 footer. Looks good from 10 feet away but at 10 feet its a beauty !! Keep you posted on the mounts.

Built a corral for Cindy's 702.  

 

  We have trouble with kids as well. Also ignorant parents. In the past I've asked what their car number is and where they're parked so I can climb all over it.

I noticed your plug boot had seen better days. I couldn't go more than a year without making a plug wire. I'll grab one of those spacers and next time by drop it in your mail box

[D_Mac 8,610]

lol you dont have to. I never expected the wire, I just figured it was the spacer because we talked about it. You never mentioned the wire. Thank You though.

One of the main reasons I got rid of the RJ was kids climbing all over it. I would ask the parents nicely  to make sure the kids stayed off and they started verbal assaults including language that hurt my delicate ears. Signs didn't help and neither did ropes. I couldn't enjoy the show while constantly policing the thing. 

 

Sadly some parents awakes the impress, they educate their children about the „your’s and mine“ in the Ferrari style.

Not a thing that is local, that‘s a Worldwide thing.

That is why I bring two to the show, more kids can "play tractor".

Just closed the gas shut off on mine today. Used it yesterday to mow and sweep the yards. 

 

Also got my chain out and plucked the satellite dish out of the lake house lawn.  Much improved view of the lake now.

 

Was putting tools away in the shed today and noticed a heavy gas smell.  The shut off valve on the gas tank was open .

 

Anybody notice my new red title?

I didn't get the glasses!  

[rjg854 11,361]

I just got a 42" RD deck for the C-160

Took the deck to @squonk  so he could use his air impact to remove the blades they were that tight.  Sharpen and balanced the blades, installed new deck and PTO belts, and mounted it to the tractor and took it for a test mow.  It's nice and quiet and cut well.  Who knows I just might get rid of my zero turn.

The glasses seem to be a recent addition.

 

I'm also getting a beta test item - a never lost key.  Can't wait to see how that works.

Uni-drive cleaning day!
My goal today was to get the rear sheet metal off the 310-8 and hopefully locate the source of the trans noise, figure out why my gas cap is not centered on the seat pan (really a nuisance getting the gas cap off) and give the externals a look-over.

I found a 1/4" set screw with jam nut lodged in the shredded shifter boot. Check the pics below. I know I've seen one of those before, can't remember where it comes from. $1 to whomever identifies where that set screw belongs. Heh heh heh.

 

I gave the back end a good cleaning, but didn't have any de-greaser, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. It's certainly a lot cleaner and at least now I can identify any active leaks.

What a Crazy Dax.

Today Mart‘l stop over and scream in his loudest Voice out of his huge Tractor - STEFAN, COME OUT WE HAVE TO TALK.

 

i thought oh oh, maybe not a good Sign, i have heard he stops the Cows and want to rent his Land.
I feared he want‘s my little Land back, but than i see his daughter was at him and i wonder what happen.

 

 

Ya told me ya want a bit more space, nooooow My daughter meant we shall make a Gentleman agreement.

I asked what kind of agreement ?

 

Nooooow i Need my time in the forrest and i‘m tyred to mow this Area, 

here and along the House and you do it on your side continousely and clean.
I have also heared you be realy upright and help others without any questions, even a Valley ahead.
- i like that, that is the right spirit, so that‘s the reason i‘m here.

 

 

Ok, listen, i wanna offer you, if you mow that for me you can have the whole Area where the Tree stay‘s for your purpose free of charge.
This area have about 100 squaremeters  - you can use it for whatever you want do with it.

 

Plow, seed potatoes, garlic, flowers or even pumpkins or just simply mow it.

you just have to mow the Way’s to my house and between the two sheds - did we have a Deal???
And in about 2 years i clean an bigger area of 70 squaremeters in the front Shed if you like.
The cost is (really cheap price) for you.

What a question, yes!

The area appears smaller on the pict than it really is.

Today was a nice day for a trail ride so pulled out 3 tractors. After the 312-8 did mowing duty I figured why not take the C-120 out on the trails and check out the Cabin. The Phoebes love building their mud nest under the overhangs on top of the window trim. While taking pics I noticed the C-120 looked like it needed a WD-40 rubdown so I headed back under the shade tree and applied a coat, as @peter lena says, feed the paint. As the 417-8 had nothing to do I thought it would be a good place to set the ice cold Coors on the hood. One last thing I did was to check the fuel in the 120 because I had not used it for a few months. I got off the seat and tilted the seat to check the fuel guage and guess what, the fuel tank is under the hood, does that mean I am getting old or own to many 3,4 and 500 series WH's .

Lube for the WH and lube for the soul. What could be better?

Painted some parts for the 753 today, not gonna be a show tractor by no means, dont want it so pretty I'm afraid to work it, but wanted to freshen it up some for Krystal to pull the boys behind on the trailer for the 4th of July parade. I was gonna drive it but Rodger asked me to drive either his restored Farmall M or his Farmall Regular this year

[echris 1,425]

I love your playing card trick! And if you want to be completely sure no paint gets on the tires, give em a good coat of grease before you stick the cards in. After the paint cures, wipe the grease off. No paint.
