Gregor 4,846 #10078 Posted March 30, 2021 As a follow up to my earlier post about pretty tractors, I just made my 141 a little prettier. At least I think so. I found out, what most of you probably already know, You cannot use the stock 7/16 lug bolts to attach wheel spacers, and of course my little metropolis here offers little in the way of 7/16 fine thread anything. But I found enough hardware to at least temporarily bolt on the spacers. Then came trying to get the wheel on to the lug bolts. Nope. A 1/2" bolt would go through the holes, barely. Getting 5 of them through 5 holes was not gonna happen. I (reluctantly) bored out my new rims, to 9/16. That worked. When I was measuring, and looking, and trying to decide how thick the spacers had to be, I decided on 1 1/2". Of course I was doing all my measuring on the right side. The left side has the brake mechanism. CRAP ! I added (2) 1/2" flat washer to the studs, and the tires cleared. I added another washer for good measure. The fronts were another story all together. My original hubs are about 3 3/4 wide at the spindle. These new spindles are about 2 3/4". If I was suppose to order spacers for this difference, good ole Ed at Miller Tire, neglected to tell me that. Actually Ed was a great help. He knew his product, he knew what I was trying to do, and he knew what I needed, even if I didn't THANK YOU ED ! I cut some spacers from some 1" galvanized pipe for now. Tomorrow I will get something a little better. As a side note. My wife loves it. Reminds her of her High School days. WHEW ! 9 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,361 #10079 Posted March 30, 2021 I had good luck with gorilla glue, others have used silicone, etc. Just make sure your surface is smooth and clean. Rough sandpaper works well. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricF 589 #10087 Posted March 31, 2021 @OldWorkHorse Strong silicone adhesive / RTV can work. Usually reasonably easy to scrape off back to bare metal when the time comes to replace the material again. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,202 #10090 Posted March 31, 2021 I noticed on the PTO clutch disc that I just got from Brian at K and B which is riveted, it appears that he also used a glue. Might ask him what he uses. I would tag him here but I can never remember that crazy screen name moniker he has given himself! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,618 #10099 Posted March 31, 2021 Well I had plans on loading up the 875 and bringing it to my friends house. He was going to go over it with me and see if we couldnt get it to fire. He called early this AM and said he was feeling a little under the weather and asked if we could do it another day. I was excited to do it so I was a little disappointed. I did go and pick up the new tires for it and when I got home I had a package from the mail man on my front steps !! I got my 2 Wheel Horse hats, one old school, and one new. Love them. I also ordered a replacement steering wheel from @76c12091520h. The new tires and steering wheel will help out a lot with moving it around. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #10100 Posted March 31, 2021 Waaahahaha the Correct Belts finally arrives... ok the first take was my big fail, measuring in cm and order same lenght instead in inches was not my best idea.. 😎🍺 But however immediately ordered the right sizes corrects that all. finally 2 new Belts on.. - Testride... 😂 after 5 min. I hear a ploink and the lower Pulley slacking arround. Dang, c clip say by by. put another on but after 5 min same result. put another on and rechecked the alignment, that is now with the changed engine few mm out of alignment. after comparing the Tecky i knew why, it is simply a different pulley. ok, to fix that i decide to mount a Bearing, that catches the Pulley where before the zerk fitting was. But non Servicable - not with me... get a M6 Bolt with hexscrew head put it in the Lathe and reworked it. first drill a 3mm hole thru it. Than drill it up to 5 mm followed by a M6 thread. - here is the result. seldmade XXL zerk Fitting. With the screwed Zerk i have again the ability to screw it in. Put an bearing on that runs free on the outer Ring if it is screwed in. Voila - problem solved. At least i give her a Cleanup with Ballistol (Gun oil) 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
