    Dad helped me out big time by running and grabbing this beauty for me. I have been unable to get away as preparation for the meet and greet is in full swing. I really don't want anymore, but when it is on your bucket list, you go for it. Looks to be in pretty good shape, minus the hole in the deck. I am really only going after the low production number models or ultra collectibles at this point. This will fit nicely in to the collection!

    I met Bowtieguy/Frank today in Springfield and he brought me this C-175 auto its in pretty good shape no knocks or smoke i know the series 1 kt17 can be a time bomb but this one seems good it ran kinda ruff at first but it ended up being pretty much out of gas after that it ran good the steering is stiff but the trans is very strong and the deck works well and i added a metal seat pan i think i might see if my brother wants it so i can get my 314H back.

    So another horse followed me home tonight. This time a 1966 wheel horse 1076. This is my first wheel a matic tractor and I must say, it is pretty nice. It also came with a deck, push blade, and wagon. Wagon is pretty rusty, but he did throw in some extra parts. I even had the trailer I hauled it on thrown in on the deal and just had to pay title transfer. It was a good day lol!

    There are 2 reasons for the regulator terminal to see battery voltage. First is the regulator is powered by DC voltage so it needs to be turned on to control the current it passes to the battery. Second is if the DC terminal does not see battery voltage it means it is not connected to the battery so it can charge it. Best way to cover all models and wiring systems is to turn the key on but the engine not running. See if you have battery voltage at the DC terminal. Garry

    Racinbob said: Steve, my vote goes for taking them out, win or lose. Bob, don't take this seriously. I seem to have lost my partner in crime. I set out with Steve to stir the pot and get some excitement going in here and he was going to help with that but he must be otherwise occupied. I think Chris hid all his Rock and Rye awhile back and he must have found it. It could be weeks before we hear from him again. Lighten up fellas, nobody's going anywhere.

    Makes sense. The 180A 220v model is $150 more, plus another hundred for the 220 line, and it is basically the same welder, just puts out 40A more. If I need something welded over 1/4" thick, I'll pay someone. The big benefit you will derive is a better duty cycle, the lower price welders are going to require a 45 minute nap after 15 minutes of work. Come to think of it I guess I have a twenty five percent duty cycle too!

    It was just a pile of straps until you put them in hue-sequence (ROYGBIV) color-coded order... THAT'S when it became a problem--i mean-- collection...

    I have actually used JB weld as filler 3 different times now and its worked great! It goes on just like bondo and actually sands off pretty easily with an orbital sander. I did a thread a few months ago of a deck repair I did for a co worker and referenced how I used JB weld as filler. Hes been using it this whole season and as far as I know its holding up just fine. As far as fixing them or leaving them I say fix them! If you are putting in the time to make it look nice once again the dents may bug you, and if you do indeed miss the dents once youre done you could always just whack it with a hammer and put them back . I fixed up and painted a 312 of mine a few years ago and fixed a big dent in the front of the hood but didn't realize there were 4 minor ones on the top of the hood. They didn't get filled and they bug me to this day. I have tried to work them out but with no success im worried I will mess up the paint or make more dents and essentially make it look worse.

    " i know the series 1 kt17 can be a time bomb". Only if you use it on steep inclines or let it run out of oil. Otherwise they are as rock solid as any of the others. CAUTION: Do not operate engine continuously at an angle exceeding 20° in any direction, or for more than 5 minute intervals at angles up to 30° in any direction-as engine damage may result from lack of sufficient lubrication. The C-175 is a beast. That one is a beauty and would get a stall in my barn.

    Hydro pedal peg welded onto frame, front welds beefed up, prepped, primed. Also have 1st coat of finish paint on it. So barring bumps in road, should have a rolling chassis this weekend as planned.

    A wire wheel is not enough, you have to acid prep rust to kill it. Then prime it. A guy at work suggested using old fashioned lead for filler...

    Thanks Thor27. Nice of you to notice Seriously, I was gonna wait until I had the Cam straightened out but I have a lot of time it getting this thing cleaned up, primed, painted and axles polished. I spent close to an hour with steel brush, brass brush and emory wheel to polish the axle shafts. They were less than appealing and one side required the 10 ton puller to break the hub free, I plan on having this tractor until I no longer am around and want to be able to get the hubs off without the same struggle in future. So Polished them and when hubs go on, so will anti-seize. As I am not trying to win a show with mine, I am doing my GT14 with black frame and Hydro with Red Body. As opposed to all red. To me, it almost looks like some tractors are dipped in red vat:)

    You have to watch out for low flying planes at Bud's! I shot a video of the ride on Ol Shep. It appears fine on my desktop, but for some reason it played sideways. That's how Youtube recorded it also. I don't see any way to fix it. So here it is. Don't hurt your necks!

    I have been working on this deal for a couple months now, I haven't said anything because I didn't want to jinx it. These were only about 20 miles from me, he has a D-200 with loader he said he may sell to me also, don't know if I'll get that one though. The flail mower (although not Wheel Horse) is a BEAST!!! I'll probably sell that as I really don't have a use for it. Any idea what to ask for the flail mower? I do have a couple questions though. 1). I haven't had a loader tractor for a while, when mounting the pump, do I have to take the entire rear PTO shaft out or can I just take the pulley off? 2). What does this sickle bar fit? 2a). Is the sickle complete or am I missing something?

    If you prep well, hammer and dolly well, then there is should be little need for filler. Older cars had such thick metal that you could work the metal and file your way back to perfection! It was also so much thicker that the welding distortion was far less! Today's vehicles are so thin that those old techniques don't work well! I doubt that "paintless dent repair" would have worked well back then for many of the dents! Perhaps my first tip about autobody filler is to try not to use any! Or at least as little as possible! I've seen it an inch thick or better! It was never meant for that!

    Sometime a guys has to do what he has to do! I am presently down to 9 from 24. When they start flowing out the stable doors and into the yard its time to have some intervention. Whats left in the stable is my restored 56, 58, (701 in primer and parts) 702, and 68 Lawn Ranger. 2) 520's and the 417A. One of the 520's will be a loader the other one if for parts. Not Shown is The Senior in my shop and the 520 Snow Chucker.

    Fellow RedSquare members...... It is with great pleasure that I post these newest photos! A huge to Terry Dennis ("vinylguy52") for his exceptional talent in creating the decals for my black tractor. Terry is a great asset to our hobby/addiction and rest assured..... you won't find nicer decals anywhere - period! (or a nicer fellow either!) Anyhow....... The name is based on the combination of dragster / tractor and I think it fits the tractor well. TD also whipped up some really Kohler decals that complete the look I was after. TD -- I can't thank you enough! :notworthy:

    I leave the oil filter off, just have something under that area to protect the floor if you care to. Sometimes there are some pretty good spatter sneezes that can come out if you are pouring oil in. If you leave the top bolt off (are there even top bolts on the xi? I havent looked) there is a chance you will contaminate the oil with dirt if you don't clean the top of the trans really well, so keep that in mind.

    Just leave the oil filter off for a vent to the transmission till you get most of the oil into it. I know it works on the 520H models. I would think it would work for the 520xi also.

    You're right Bob, I got behind filling my sandbags this summer with all the in house downtime I had. But that downtime gave me time to think, and that's never a good thing. I remember when this thread was Big 10 only. Now we're mucking it up adding another non conference team to the mix. You guys are going the wrong way. Even as it was it wasn't truly about just the Big 10 with all those non conference slaughterhouse games at the beginning of the season. If you want to tighten this thing up and find out who really knows how to pick em, start in week five after the non con b s over and the real race is on. If you want it to be Big 10 make it Big 10 all the way. Even as it is the Notre Dame picks shouldn't count if they aren't Big 10 games, just sayin". Or what the hell, for next year let's add Alabama, that should make some folks happy.

    Hey fellas its been awhile. I had to get back in the garden tractor game. However since I moved to NC its hard to find anything at what I would consider a good deal or a good price. From what I can tell people either hold on to them, value them like they are gold or just scrap them. Well I was checking craigslist and I came acrossed this beauty. It is a Economy tractor, it has hydraulics, and came with a front dozer blade, and a turn over plow. However the connecting rod broke, so I am going to have to do something about this engine, either rebuild or repower.
