9 pointsThis topic came up in a recent discussion on proper battery maintenance and storage techniques. I usually keep 3 or 4 batteries on float charge thru the winter and have performed a simple modification on $5 Harbor Freight float charger to allow it to peform as it should. I purchased several chargers two or three years back and found each of the chargers put out a different voltage. The range varied from 12.8 to 13.4 volts. A float voltage of 12.8 is too low and 13.4 is just a tad too high, If you are using this item to float charge your batteries, please take the time to measure the DC voltage between the red and black charger clips WITHOUT THE CHARGER CONNECTED TO A BATTERY. Any voltage significantly outside a 13.0 to 13.3 range could be slowly compromising your battery. I will post pics on a simple modification which will allow setting of a precise 13.2 volt output needed to properly maintain a wet lead acid battery thru winter storage. Stay tuned as my camera memory card appears to have issues of its own.

4 pointsWhen they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." This is the picture they are talking about. Look at the wood framed boxcars, the late 30's, early 40's vehicles...that locomotive is a 2-8-2 Mikado!! Who's that kid with no socks?? This could be the train yard in Bensenville, Illinois...I've done a ton of train watching there through the years. edited years of vehicles per JimD below.

3 pointsI 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

3 pointsYour Stallions are certainly ready for cold, wet, nasty white junque. You Sir, are all set! If we get snow, the grandsons will love it. I'll sip hot coffee and watch from the window.

3 pointsSharp eye, Steve! Definitely a Milwaukee Rd. L-1 Mikado and a Ribbed-Side caboose. I don't think that it is Bensenville though. Perhaps further east inside the city limits?

3 pointsGot the deck assembled. Now I have to wait for grass. After all it's only December. NOS deck shell, NOS pulleys, NOS gears, new bearings, new seals, new belts, NOS blades, new wheels, some brass bushings, Terry's decals, and stainless hardware. Can't wait to mow with it in the spring. Here's what I started with.

2 pointsThat thingy in the last picture might be a spring mount for a mid mount idler. Almost looks like it used to be a Kohler engine lifting point.

2 pointsYep, that's the site alright. Use this http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/belts/toro_belts.asp to lookup your factory belt dimensions and then find a belt on vbelts for less that is a close match. A lot of OEM belts claim to spec out in between 2 industrial belt sizes. However, I have found that going up or down to the nearest generic belt size works fine. All my applications has plenty of idler/tensioner take-up to account for any minor differences in belt size.

2 pointsI pretty much only use the old gear driven decks to mow my yard and i love them my very first wheel horse was a 857 with 36" deck and i mowed my yard with it for years before actually getting it to the horse hobby now i look back and can't believe it mowed as good as it did considering the deck was completely worn out and sounded something horrible but i didn't know any better.

2 pointsYep. I'd go with the dogs nose weather forecast over the meteorologists as more scientific every time. I hear a dogs sense of smell is so keen they can help find medical problems in humans. They are amazing creatures. You can't get a more true love than a dog has for its owner. No wonder dogs are mans best friends.

1 pointWe call them Woolly Bears here in Ohio. Below is a link to a local Cleveland weatherman Dick Goddard who has been predicting winter severity for 43 years now. Probably the longest running annual Woolly event in the country I'm guessing. I also didn't know that about the dog's noses. It turns out doing a google search there are many different cool ways people predict weather. http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2015/10/05/woollybearer-of-good-news/

1 pointFront Brackets are DONE!!! Had to oblong the mounting holes to move them up... I swear I checked it with the cardboard mockup but at full steering lock with the front axle pivoted to max articulation, the brackets would rub..err "shave" the top of the outside tire. Yeesh... I don't think I'd ever be using the loader with the steering turned all the way in one direction, at the same time that the front axle is totally pivoted. But, this going together the way it should be, so it needed to be done. Oh well. The difficult ugly work is done.

1 pointLaser cut 1/4" steel plate parts are in. They turned out awesome. Was a pleasure doing business with JD Laser in Hartford WI. Also, I found a place on my way home from work that does sandblasting and fabrication. I had them look at my uprights and the owner said $25 to blast both of them clean, done deal. Those should be ready next week for me to pick up, take home and get coat of red oxide primer onto. Here are the laser cut pieces (there are 2 pump mount plates because I wasn't sure which one I'd find for a bargain when its time to buy):
