    Not sure how many of you are hockey fans, but last night's Bruin's comeback was history making. No team in NHL playoff history has ever comeback from a 3 goal deficit in the 3rd period and won the game - until last night! Absolutely the best playoff hockey game I have ever seen. Nothing beats playoff hockey...

    Like you stated, probably not worth the effort or risk of developing external oil leaks where the quart or two of oil could be quickly lost before a problem is noticed. Best defense is to just use a heavy duty 30W detergent oil, and change it frequently, like every 10-15 hours. -Mark-

    Sooner or later there's an ass for every seat. And a seat for every ass. It's just a matter of finding the right ass for those seats.

    I think it is a 59. Looks a lot like mine when I bought it. See below. Before and after pics...

    I have also only seen one real bad 1533 bearing in a Wheel Horse transmssion case. If you think about it -a lot of 50 year old tractors are still running fine on original transmssions with motors that have had to be redone, replaced, etc . The Wheel Horse Uni-drive transmssion is a strong piece of the Wheel Horse. Now that being said a lot of folks let go on the maintenance, care and protection of the transmssion to their detriment. Water is bad and lots of other things can happen to the transmssion in the day in and day out use of the tractor.

    Exactly. My 12hp '68 Raider is still runnin' on its original engine. Air cleaners, carb cleaners, oil changes, general cleaning and PB Blaster on the carb linkage. Still runs like a top, so does the tranny, mower deck too. Maintenance ahead of schedule is the key! :smile:

    Vin... you know better. (and for the record... whether I agree with you or not is not the issue..... it's all about the peace and wellness of the forum)

    I've had a few tractors with that seat and though its a nice looking seat (and a pricey one!) it does nothing for rear end comfort. I agree, get yourself a comfier seat and save that one for a possible show tractor use in the future. The tear isn't too bad (yet) but it is only going to get worse if you use that 120 much.

    OMG That's just plain NUTS! Thank you. In your opinion: I have the importunity to purchase the entire transmission for $150, 8 speed uni-drive. I haven't looked at it so I have no idea what condition it's in but if it's in good shape does that sound like a deal?

    If you buy an engine with the 20 amp charging system and key switch already in stalled extend the wiring and hook up the gauges and safety switches. You will need the right key switch anyway. I only hooked up the amp gauge and added an oil pressure gauge. I'm the only operator of my tractor and I skipped the safety switches. I would hook them up if I had kids around. My youngest is 35 and it don't look like we will have any grandchildren so I'm good.

    The first picture is what it looked like when we entered Coles 61 Burban in the first tractor of the month contest. She has gone thru many changes but we never really liked the end result. This tractor had a ton of very deep pitting on it, especially the frame. It is now smoother than it ever was. I spent a week on just the frame work. The mods done were, lowering the seat and fenders, dual pipes, foot control throttle and a pulley change for a little more speed. I made a custom set of front slot rims and I made my own leather seat cover. Other than adding the decals when they arrive this one is finally the way it is going to be! (I really don't mind this one without the decals) She is loud and proud!

    This is my 401. This is the one that got me hooked. It came with a front reel mower and a snow plow. I was going to do a full restore on it but I have decided to keep it mostly original. The engine has been rebuilt, the trans has been gone threw, and the rims have been sand blasted and repainted.

    I found what I'm looking for; look at the attachment and you will see the diodes soldered in. Under $1.00 vs $29.00 for the NOS rectifier I found on Ebay!!!

    Every year with a few tweaks I post this just before Christmas. I hope you all enjoy! Dedicated to all the members of Red Square world-wide and our families.....(with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore!) ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all ‘round our house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. My tractors were parked in their new shed with care; I felt very blessed just to know they were there. Our dogs were both nestled all snug on our bed, While visions of Milk Bones danced round in their heads. My wife in her PJ’s had gone off to snooze, While I’d settled down for the late evening news. When somewhere outside there arose a dull roar; It rattled the walls, it shook the whole floor! I ran to the door and flung it wide open, To see what the heck had fallen or broken. The yard light shone bright on the new fallen snow, Where nothing had crashed, no damage did show. When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But eight Wheel Horse tractors! Why now, and why here? They pulled a large trailer piled high front to back, With parts and attachments, an impressive stack Of motors and trannies and tires and blowers, And hoods and fenders and belts and some mowers! Then even more tractors appeared on our street, They came two by two in ranks very neat. RJ’s and GT’s and B’s, C’s and D’s, With numbers and letters of every series. Their engines did thunder, their hot exhaust rose, The air filled with laughter and hearty “Ho! Ho’sâ€! Though I did not know all the drivers by sight, Their banner, “Red Squareâ€, waved proud in the night! As quick as they’d come they slid to a stop, Then a man dressed in red ran straight toward my shop! I could see that he carried a very large sack, It bulged and it sagged and it ‘near broke his back! He winked and he grinned as he switched on the light, Then pulled the door shut to hide from my sight. “This can’t be realâ€, I thought to myself, “I’m too old to believe in the ‘jolly old elf’ â€! He was gone but a moment, then quickly came back, His stepped seemed much lighter, and so did his pack. He signaled ‘thumbs up’ with a mischievous smile, Then boarded his wagon, climbed back up the pile. Atop this great load, with white beard and hair, The man all in red hailed the drivers by pair: “Now Karl, now TT, now Ian, now Bill, On Chuck, on Steve-o, on Mike, on Will….†“We’ve far to go boys, let’s keep up the pace, Don’t spare the ‘Horses, we’re in quite a race, We’ve thousands of homes to visit this night, Our work must be done before it’s daylight!†I started to step out to say a “Thank you!â€, But this man was fast, and so were his crew! They all punched their throttles, their engines did scream, The herd quickly vanished as if in a dream! I now think ‘twas Santa who commanded this fleet, Atop his red wagon in a 520 seat! His words echoed long after he’d gone out of sight, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!†If a herd of red tractors should come to greet you, On the night before Christmas, a jolly red crew, It’s our friends from Red Square who’ve cleverly planned To get more seat time giving Santa a hand! *** *** *** *** *** *** May the Holidays be filled with peace, love, happiness and contentment for all of us, May the Lord as you may choose to define Him in your life bless and watch over you, May the memories of those who have left us remind us of how precious life is, and May 2013 be filled with peace, prosperity and good health for us all!
