Yeah, I can't hear it either. 

Did you ask Dave if he can hear it?

Two of my oldest friends, my border collie Poppy (now 15 years old) and my 1975 Wheelhorse C-100 (first photo was taken the day the Horse was delivered in 2004), and the second image taken in 2018 (yesterday)

Thank you sir! Hopefully I will get it pulled down soon and I will let you know what I need.

Last night I was looking at Hank, and had that “I just want to fiddle with it” itch. That’s when I remembered that on one of my first posts someone had suggested getting a spring seat for comfort. 

Well, seeing as how the Charger 10 is grounded due to the state of the tires, I figured we’d dona swap. I put it in the farthest rear position, and it’s like sitting on a self propelled throne now. 

 

Few days ago I had the fiddle itch, so I used what we had laying around to make a little weight box. You can see it sticking out the back. Got an extra 70# sitting back there now.

Gotta admit, and it may be the lack of caffeine, I don’t know what you mean.

I like those baby moons!

I wish I had the full set. That’s the only rear one it has, once we changed our the front rims, the front ones won’t seat on the new rims, but I’ve been scouring the inter webs looking for the second rear one. 

I just wish it covered more of that green up 😂

[LengerichKA88 1,883]

It wouldn’t let me post it with the other picture, but this is a crude drawing of the set up I used in the back

Old joke... like a thousand and one uses for duct tape. There's a thousand and one uses for an old milk crate.

@ebinmaine

I would like to just say Right Here and Now on the interwebs for all the public to view that I think this is an awesome idea.

 

This would help out Trina's 657 quite a bit.

See, I’ve gotten so used to seeing people say “use #XYZ” in reference to parts that I figured there was some kind of milk crate grading system I didn’t know about 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂

 

the 1x4 that rests on the tongue sits flush with the rear axel and extends to the end of the milk crate. I put ole Hank in 3rd, opened the throttle all the way and flew (or galloped)  from the far end of my neighbors yard to the far end of the other neighbors yard, no cracks, no breaks, and everything stayed in the basket. As bumpy as our yards are, I figured that would be the ultimate strength test for the set up.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!

 

 

I don't know man. As much as I like orange, I'm not sure I'd want to buy something that isn't in complete kit. Self furnished weights?

 

Hahahahahahha.....

Now that I think about it, Orange would be perfect to help with visibility, and the crate give you a spot for a caution triangle that doesn’t involve attaching it directly to the tractor...... I may need to get some spray paint out, as the orange milk crate is currently occupied.

Used the Burb as a Christmas piece today!

Working on dismantling this one today. Future project that is going to be changed from a hydro to an 8-speed.

Why the change from Hydro to 8 speed.  Hydros are great for plowing snow especially if your plow area requires a lot of backing up....

I only have about half of the transmission but it's not mine anyways.

We've tried a couple of different Hydro transmissions and I can definitely see the logic in why people like them but we both prefer manuals.

 

[LengerichKA88 1,883]

Well, All I did was put a seat on it, but something else happened....  I’m just getting my feet wet with these tractors as most of you know, but most everything I’ve done is with our Mystery 8hp/3spd, or “Hank” (The Square “Face”/Front end, as good a shape as its in for its age, and the lens cover looks like square framed glasses to me, so it’s name in honor of Hank Hill😂)

 

We haven’t really touched the Charger 10 we bought except to pull the trailer it came home on back to where it normally sits. We got it mainly for the 42in Plow that came with it. With the spring seat on it, I sit too high and too close to the steering, so it wasn’t comfortable. Because it wasn’t comfortable, I didn’t really feel one way or the other about it. The other day I swapped the seats (above I believe) and tonight while organizing the new shop, I decided the best way to get the loose seat out of my way was to put it on a tractor. After I got it on, I sat down and this tractor felt and looked completely different to me. 

Now I had to find a way to talk the wife into letting me try and keep it. They all came out to check on me, and I showed the Misses that I got the seat on. 

“I haven’t even really looked at this one” 

“Well, hop on it baby.”

She sat down and after a second she started to crack a smile. 

 

Hook, line, and seat... I mean sinker. 

 

“I could drive that.” She said on the way back in with the kids. 

 

Now I need another one... can’t let the wife have more horses under the hood than me😂

I totally agree.   Time to start looking at CL and other places.

I got my first wheel horse(s) yesterday, both not running. (C-101 and B-80)

I got the C-101 running last evening, this AM I drained ,douched, and refilled the tranny and changed motor oil. 

For this GT I need both axle seals, the brake shaft seal, a shifter boot, a starter solenoid and the key switch. Where is my best source for this list?

...

The B-80 had no compression so I offed the head, not valves

I outed the little 8hp, yup, as I suspected, but with no cyl damage and very very little crank journal issue. 

My first thoughts are emory shine the journal, get a new rod/piston and some gaskets, maybe a seal. Input please and also my best source for motor parts.
