What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Recommended Posts

The C-160 lives!  I finally got it to crank and spark. It was the cable from the load side of the solenoid to the starter that was tarnished and a bit loose at the crimp.It looked like new and my lying eyes deceived me until the test light probe made the connection.. A little carb spray and she lit off a few licks.

pinned  the fan gear to the steering shaft with a 3/8 roll pin.

I noticed in the IPL for a 1045 that there are two roll pins here. A 1/4" with a 5/32 inside of it. #22 & 23 Anybody know the reasoning behind this?

That might work out for you but I hope to all the musical spirits ever made that Dan is a better singer than me. 

 

@19richie66

Shop or no shop never stopped me from doing "nothing". 

:ROTF:

To make the pin stronger would be my guess. If this was their reasoning they should have just used one like this.

I pulled mine outside today and stretched there legs a bit, once I finished up the 401. Figured it was nice day so let the kids drive them around awhile. Also tore down a parts machine today.

I think this needs further attention and discussion.

Thats kinda what I thought. Maybe they didn't invent them yet in '64?? :)

Friend has a big rotary rake (Kuhn brand made in Germany) uses double roll pins as there is a lot of stress on the arms.  The spiral pins actually have less shear strength than regular slit pins.  1/4" x 2 spiral 5500 lbs shear a split pin same size 7000 lbs.  Personal experience the overrunning clutch on my Farmall M when she is running the bush hog 600 has a pin to hold it on the PTO stub shaft.  I had been using a spiral pin and it failed one day. fortunately I heard a change in sound and got it slowed down before it failed still exciting having that PTO shaft flopping around.  Have use split pins since no problems..  If a single split pin is stronger than a spiral i would imagine two of them would be even better.

If you look closely at the things the Ponds did it was because they used what they had and never made changes that were unnecessary.

1045 perfect example of using what they had on hand. New style hoods and used up old style fenders.

Going to track down some steel for the loader subframe build this week before i go away to NH for the weekend. No time to work on the loader project at all til most likely the weekend of thanksgiving. Oh well gotta work to pay for these little machines i have to have. Hopefully can at least get the frame mocked up and a belt tensioner built for the hydro pump so it will stop slipping

Removed the Tyres, so i have at Rear a „Wheel less Horse“ for a moment...

popped of one tyre by hand, what was a fight but a completely remove from the Rim is impossible by hands because of the Stiffness of the rubber even the other tyre sits on it’s Rim like for eternity..

cannot be popped off by handy without heavier tools.

But that‘s not a problem at all, i will stop by tomorrow at a Fella‘s tyre workshop to remove both tyres from the rims.

 

After that, both Rim’s go a local sandblasting Company few Valley’s down, to prepare for the Finish.

curious how they come out if finalized.

 

Stay tuned. 😎

New pins on the right side loader arm today. No grease on anything as it will all need to be painted anyways, i just dont want to keep messing with the loader with worn out pins. Looked at the trans for a few. Dont know anything about them, dont see any obvious issues. Need to lift the machine up soon and wash the trans so i can start to find the problem(leak) if im lucky its a loose filter but i doubt it.

Last time we were going up to the cabin ther was a place along the way that was selling containers. All different sizes.  Kinda odd I thought for northern WI. Guessing they came down from Lake Superior. A couple have had windows and a service door cut in and just for grins gonna check them out when headed up this Friday.
