Wheel Horse 3D 3,795 #11278 Posted May 14, 2021 Usual easy day at work, hardest part of the day is figuring quips to pester folks on Red Square! Then i pay the piper for my usual relaxed job by receiving notification of 50 plus units to be tended to. At least it was able to keep untill monday! Got home, pull a print, start a customer print, and grab my 12amp power supply and out to the shop to do some torture testing of headlight lenses. While Im here might just go ahead and wire up the Caballo Diablo LED ornament! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before he got on it he told me he plows the city sidewalks in the winter. He came down the driveway on the Cub Cadet, and drove right into my Home made tractor and that Lambert that I had just finished restoring. Everything could have been a lot worse. The Cub just had a scratch, the home made just bounced right off, and the Lambert was smashed between the Cub and the curbing on the driveway you can see in the photo. If the curbing wasnt there he would have went right through my neighbors fence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregor 4,846 #11282 Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) My wife thinks I should have each of the grand kids drive a tractor in the parade. Sometimes.my wife is not a very good thinker. I hope that's just the wheel. Edited May 14, 2021 by Gregor 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sure?Then flip it on. Or just roll around in the dark as a pair of glowing eyes! Edited May 15, 2021 by Wheel Horse 3D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,069 #11289 Posted May 15, 2021 Pressure washed my 48 inch SD deck today in preparation for an overhaul...I started a thread under "implements and attachments" to share the progress, and to get advice and help...and maybe help someone else out too. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,069 #11291 Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) So today in between projects and chores, I piddled with my plow that I bought a few months back... It was froze up from sitting in the weather and I had been soaking it in penetration oil for a few weeks. Today I thought I would try to see if I could turn the adjustment handle..I got it freed up, but I have a question... What is the purpose of the nut and washer that my blue pen is pointing too ?... I see if you turn it so that it moves to the left it will jam up against the threaded rod bushing, and turn when you turn the rod, so what purpose does it serve ?...It does not "lock" anything. This is the "lock nut" Edited May 15, 2021 by Horse Newbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I didn't run over and turn the key off the Cub was going to climb right over the Lambert. He was test driving the Cub to buy it. He left without buying it. Gave me 100 for damage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the "lock nut" Can you show a full picture of the bottom plow? I’m thinking that nut is to lock down the barrel from turning and changing depth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shed 248 #11297 Posted May 15, 2021 22 hours ago, D_Mac said: Well I am STILL painting wheels. I took the rear wheels off the 875 to paint. Even though I still have not got an engine for it I want it to look good. I put on the spare set of AG tires and wheels I had and well...... I am starting to like how they look. Might just leave them on. I also ordered new throttle and choke cables for the 1075. Looking into getting a new carb for it as well. Seems to be only 2 choices. 15 dollar cheapy or 100 dollar one. Anyone have any thoughts on carbs for the 1075 ? The one on it now I believe to be a replacement. It also leaks from the bowl. What size tires are on that 875? I'd like to put tall skinny r1s on a 416 h for use in the garden make it more farm tractorish. Has any one done this to a 416? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has any one done this to a 416? Shed the ones on D's ride are likely 6-12. You could also use 23 x 8.50-12. Lots of options. Avoid Deestone as a brand only because their tires notoriously VERY small. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,265 #11299 Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) I bought a Harbor Freight ATV sprayer for free with settlement money from their class action lawsuit. Lots of five star reviews, and I agree I set some 2x4 from under the footpegs and resting on the front axles and strapped the sprayert up to the front of the tractor. I fashioned an array of four sprayers two feet apart for a spray boom that will cover 8 feet per pass. With air injection nozzles from Teejet, there is no spray drift. with that little 40 pSI pump, there is no spray period, just water droplets, so perfectly safe to have it out front. I tested the pattern by spraying over concrete and she worked great. I have wanted to try a front mounted sprayer for some time now, and the low output low pressure pump is just right for the application. It sprays out pretty quick, so maybe 6 to eight ounces of full strength spray per 15 gallon tankful would hit the target rate of a pint per acre. If you decide to buy one, about the only complaint there is is the durability of the pump. still, at 80 bucks on sale or a hundred full price, I see no issue, I already have a pump from an old sprayer that would require a pressure reducer so I would still recommend as worth it even if the pump fails I think I hit it aboutt right, because the dandilion are starting to curl Edited May 15, 2021 by ohiofarmer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
