I grabbed an empty peanut butter jar that my neighbor keeps gas in (don't ask), dropped my fuel line in it, and finished mowing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,864 #13505 Posted November 11, 2021 One of the neighbor boys who is interested in mechanical things came over yesterday. We tinkered with the new haul, the 520-8, GT1642 and 310-8. The 520 will surely need the carb rebuilt, but we heard it spitter at least, the GT1642 ran pretty smoky but cleaned up, and the 310-8 purrs. I don’t think he figured he’d get the chance to drive one. At first, he asked if I had any project quads I’d sell him. After 15 minutes on the 310, he decided he no longer needs a quad! 4 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will pick up 3 but it might bend something driving around...and it would need more ballast. It lifts 2 pretty easy. I sling lifted 3 once but it lifted the back off the ground...

ebinmaine 67,487 #13509 Posted November 12, 2021 The local Bear 🐻 tolerant S/O aka The Paint Department put 2 coats of off white on this weight. She finds the Ace Hardware paint to spray just fine but not cover as well as her preferred Rust-Oleum 2X. If this weight stays white it'll need at least 2 more coats. Likely it'll get changed to IH Red or black. I've been gathering parts to change over (whatever tractor has the fluid filled front tires) to a 5 x 4.5 pattern trailer hub. Those tires are mounted on old crapsmen wheels which actually don't have any bearing of any kind in them. Solid 3/4" hole simply turns on the WH spindle. I've been greasing them once or twice a year for (3?) Years now. As one could imagine there's some wear on the spindles. I have a set of trailer stub axles drilled for 3/4" thanks to the generosity of a Redsquare member. I found these hub/axle kits for a VERY reasonable price. I'll set the axle stubs aside for another project. All I need now is a set of 5 x 4.5 - 8" diameter 6 or 7 wide wheels and I'll be able to have the Rimguard fluid and my own tires swapped over. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,874 #13511 Posted November 12, 2021 It is not my WH, but is the neighbors new to him 312H. I fished up the fabrication on the rear receiver hitch and carrier for his sand. Put the Kenda Tera Trac winter grips on and test fit the carrier. He is working toward getting ready for the snow. 4 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
