    Alright I must confess I've got an Emma as well! These pics should give you a pretty good idea of what I'm dealing with here! She steals the cats bed, takes my spot on the couch yet she'll always share a spot with her son in front of the wood stove. And yes, she loves to go tubing and take rides in the truck.... If you so much as mention the word RIDE within earshot of her you for darn sure WILL be taking her for a ride because she will be the biggest pain in the arse until you do.

    Nope KC, I stopped smoking on Oct. 30, 1955. I don't know if it could be a factor in the condition of my mental health, but I probably have "accidently" huffed 2-3 rattle cans of Rustoleum Regal Red and a couple cu ft of cover gas from ESAB flux cored weld wire in the past 10 years and I have gotten in the habit of taking my arthritis pain meds with a glass of JB. I don't remember ever falling, but I do wake up on the floor quite often and wonder how I got there.

    Now your'e talkin... I have restored at least a half dozen wood boats. When people hear that I painted them with a brush you always get the chuckles... That is until they see it and there are no runs and no crap in the paint either. Oh, and no brush marks. If I do so happen to get a run or bug in the paint you can bet I'm going to fix it, that would be to embarrassing to leave. They really do look that good, not just another good from far and far from good paint job. Its all about the prep, using quality marine paint, quality brushes, keeping a wet edge and following the weather... Did I mention patience? Here are just a few pics of many boats I have done, the Dunphy just this past summer. The weather sucked this summer, I had to paint the DunphyTWICE because of unpredictable weather. Right now I'm wandering around aimlessly, Projectless. I hope the OP got what he was looking for.. Good thread all the same..

    If I had a ground level basement I'd do the same thing. I assembled mine by the fireplace in our sunroom. Surprisingly it didn't both her that much.

    I know that everyone is wondering about Winter for this season. My area is predicted to get between 25" to 50" of snow. But the weather report is saying 70+ degrees on this coming Monday, December 14. It got me thinking about my dogs noses. Both dogs were/are Alaskan Malamutes and like some Northern Breeds, their noses turn pink during colder months. Last Winter was colder than I have experienced during my time in Maryland (I've experienced much colder temps in Illinois!) and had a decent amount of snow. Oke's nose had turned turned pink by October 21 last year. Juno's nose is just starting to turn this week. It might be a milder Winter! Oke' Juno

    I thought there were 13 rings of hair on a Woolly Worm, 1 ring for each week of winter. The color indicated the weather for that particular week. Wait until April and I will tell you what kind of winter to expect!

    No, both were/are Mals. Juno is a smaller version of Oke'. She is only 75 lbs compared to his 100 lbs. Here she is outside while my daughter's 8 lb. Miniature Poodle visited. "Did someone say snack?"

    I have now saved enough cash to be able to offer a reward for information that leads to the safe return of our beloved tractor, my sister and Mum have also kindly offered to add to this reward pot. I guess I'm a bit of an odd un! but it has caused me to lose a lot of sleep and I'm not functioning properly at work. Many of my happy memories of my two childrens early days until now are tied up with this little gem.

    I pull the shift lever out to dump it in, that way I get to check the setting of the dog point set screw. I have my 5010's done up with a magnetic plug so in my royal analness I can change it. Probaly won't have to considering how they get get used but what the heck it was cheap & easy.

    No pics but when we take our Lab out for a ride she'll climb in and plant her front paws on the center console with her back feet on the rear seat. Then she will stare down the ignition switch until you turn the key.If you screw around and dilly-dally getting that engine started, she'll start barking in your ear until you do.

    the reach inside the head, hex nut size, heat range and electrode construction all differ- maybe even the seat angle. will it spark? yes hopefully it will not kiss the piston or place the spark in the wrong place in the combustion chamber. check on the Champion website for compatibility within its own product line - or play it safe and use the recommended or equivalent plug - check the plugs side by side to make sure there are not any gross differences in dimensions. google is your friend as I believe Champion publishes a "decoder" chart for plug #'s the search function on this site should also tell you if others have used this substitute successfully. be prepared for a diversity of opinions similar to oil, paint and gasoline comparisons!! http://lmgtfy.com/?q=champion+spark+plug+decoder

    Hey Dennis, give me a good brush and the right thinner and I can make a brush job look pretty good. I have painted metal structures and equipment for years and I know you can get a decent job that protects the equipment no matter what you use. I know real well about problems, after getting a divorce i lost my eyesight several times quit drinking, quit smoking and enrolled in college,My current wife and I have been living on 14k a year from student loans for the last 4 years, 90 percent of that 14k I will have to repay, yep, I know poor. I also believe that I am very fortunate and always want to consider myself blessed that I am still here with the hope of giving back in the future. I have not seen one person on this entire forum that doesn't seem to hold himself up to pretty high standards in the care of their machines, visit some other forums, ya'll are pretty darn good around here.

    Down here in Richmond Va we cook them like Shad ( the fish) . Nail them to a plank of wood. Cover with horse manure. Cook for 5 hours by an open flame. After 5 hours remove from flame, peel back manure , throw tundra bunny away. Eat manure with large amount of spirits of your choice , never speak of the party or the food served.

    I painted this little bundle of joy almost 3 yrs. ago with Rustoleum Regal Red and it is holding up very well. I did all the body work and prep just as I would have if I were using automotive paints. I spent 3 solid days on the body work alone. It wasn't meant to be any type of show tractor, just something to beat around on and that is exactly what I do with it... It has been to 3 Big Shows and it always gets run hard in the Saturday night Dust Bowl. Now, if i'm going to do a "show" tractor I'm with Bob Maynard, Its going to get only automotive paints, ESPECIALLY if its a more difficult tractor to take apart and put back together. If I'm going to do a 520 or similar tractor to be a "show" queen I won't waste my time with spray bomb paints because this type tractor is much more involved in taking apart and reassembling and you are much more likely to scratch it putting it back together. If I'm going to do that much work it may as well be done with the good stuff, JMO. The Suburban does get waxed with carnanuba wax to help keep it shiny. I don't clear coat any tractor that I spray bomb with Rustoleum as I have found the results to be too unpredictable. Even following all the recommendations of the manufacturer sometimes the paint wrinkles up and then you are nothing but pissed off because the paint WAS perfect and now you are at square one.. So, before you add that clear coat I gotta ask.. Are you feelin lucky?

    Well, I appreciate all your help with the ID, but I think I got the answer today when my high school buddy Skinner stopped by to pick up the road killed opossum I have been keeping in the crisper drawer of Mrs .K's fridge for two weeks. I can't believe she didn't see it hidden under the celery. Skinner knows his animals, but failed to get his degree in biology when he was banned for life from entering any Pa Public School System. How could I forget that day in 10th grade biology lab when Skinner dropped his partially dissected frog specimen down the front of our 22 year old student teachers dress. Who wouda thought Ms. Hostetter while wearing those pumps with 4" heels could run like a deer. It took half of the cross country relay team to catch her and several defensive linemen from the football team to tackle her and remove the frog. Whata mess. Sorry, I digress...anyway, Skinner did continue his higher education via a mail order taxidermy course offered by Sam and Laura Touchstonel. So, when I showed Skinner the pic of these creatures, He immediately recognized them as the elusive Big Horned Two Toed Tundra Bunny. Skinner says they are a mutant offspring of the native North American Cervus Canadenis (elk) and the Eurasian Native Rangifer Tarandus (reindeer). Then Skinner proceeded to explain how the reindeer found its way to North America to mate with the elk. As the story goes, the ranchers of Finland were able to domesticate these wild reindeer and teach them to pull sleds as a means of transportation in their snow covered land. Then one winter one of these bearded jolly old fat Fins took it up a notch and taught eight of these reindeer to fly. Of course, they took the scenic route over the North Pole to get to North America. As Paul Harvey would say......"And now you know the rest of the story"

    Yup, multiple answers because Wheel Horse changed their minds The manual stated up to the oil check hole on the side. Do that and you'll be fine. Then they said 1 1/2 quarts. Do that and you'll be fine. They call for SAE 90. I use 80w90. Some go heavier. Do any of that and you'll be fine. Oh yea, please ignore the blurb in the original owners manual about how to shift while moving. Do that and you won't be fine.

    Been a long time since I got to work on this Ole girl. To many irons in the fire. Its Kohler time, or is that "Miller Time", but I got the engine tore down and decreased. Has a nice .002" groove in the jug from a broken top ring so its off to the machine shop soon. I will rebuild this in the Man Cave where there is some heat!

    I have my snow cab and snow thrower wiring off the battery, run through a "master" lighted switch, and into a fuse block with individual switches to the lights, wiper, fan, chute deflector.... The light on the master has done a good job of reminding me to turn everything off when I exit. The linear actuator that I use for the chute deflector is a 4" throw, about 6 seconds to run the full cycle, and was about $50 delivered from Ebay. It only took a single drill hole into the chute to mount, with the distal end clamped to the deflector handle. I mounter it outside the handle. Mounted inside, it would bind against the chute when fully deployed with the deflector flexed down. You could mount with the handle removed, but using the handle helped with clearance, and adds leverage (probably not necessary)

    It is a PA. thing, a large group of individuals meet once a year in the fall to discuss and investigate the width of the black stripe on the back of a Woolly Worm. The wider the stripe determines the forecast for winter. Ok guys from SW PA chime in and help with the explanation. AMC Rules I am not joking, the Radio in Bedford PA announces the results.

    @nylyon can correct me if I am wrong and possibly elaborate more on becoming a supporter on this but there is a size limit on pics. When you become a supporter those blocks go away. Plus you get access to a special secret forum that only supporters can see with all kinds of good stuff in it ..dirty jokes....nudie pics stuff like that.....NAWWW just kidding, is worth the 20 bucks tho.

    Great paint jobs begin with proper preparation, regardless of what the color coat is it won't look good or hold up well if the preparation has been sloppy. Sand off all deteriorated previous coatings, prime and wet sand using a long sanding block with crossing diagonal pattern, prime and wet sand again and check everything over for scratches, dents you missed or other problems. Now you may be ready to spray some color. One added benefit to several coats of primer is that you get a chance to practice your technique before the top coat. Patience really pays when it comes to paint jobs.

    If you can find a 523dxi I would latch onto it. I don't know that I've ever seen one for sale in or around Michigan. I wouldn't mind owning one if I could find one at a reasonable price and a reasonable drive.
