    It was time to switch gears a bit. After working hard for many years to acquire a nice little collection I decided to let many of them go and enjoy something else with the family. Over the past couple of months the number of machines and attachments have been reduced considerably. With the funds I went out and grabbed another pony, that is red, still has 4 wheels, but seats all 4 in the family. Welcome to the Horse Barn a 1964 1/2 Mustang.

    Loaded up my Mrs Rules, and our two twins(Suburban models 400&401) & headed over the mountain for a ride around West Point's Morgan's farm today. We were just in time to catch a few minutes with Ace, a little American miniature horse boarded there & his owner Cathy. Made for the perfect photo opportunity...capturing Ace, the mini real horse & two of our little Suburban Wheel-Horses checking each other out. And here's Ace taking a little bite out of the competition.

We blocked wheels on trailer and got his truck out of way... hooked up S10 and without even breaking sweat my Chevy got it up ramp and to safety. You guys always say if there arent pics it never happened! So..... Tony

    Okay, Okay... I feel bad... look in pic... you can see trailer jack down. I was leaving club and just backed up and took quick pic. Boat and trailer is 19,000.... theres no chance in heck an S10 wouldnt poop itself silly if it even THOUGHT about moving it. Friends 1 ton dually Silverado Duramax pulled it in lo range no problem. It has to sit there overnight till his over width permits are legal tomorrow morning. Its 35' x 14' Sorry fellas 🤣🤣🤣 Tony And yes S10s are great little rides whether mini pickup or Blazer. I love the things and have had probably 6 or 7 Tony

    You know that is a good question Craig. I was able to score this nice lighted sign out of the same garage. Do you think there might be a connection?

    Cool and a 6 banger to boot! More than enough power to haul the family plus run a 48” deck!

    You couldn't ask for better weather and the variety of equipment was outstanding. Member @turnnleft was there with his grandson and a lot of outstanding RJs. This poor horse has been abused! Here are a few more photos of the show. Don't know what this is but it was Not For Sale, owner had picked it up a few weeks ago and hoped to find out more information fro people at the show. Here is a Standard Twin walk behind tractor that has been converted to a rider. Very interesting! I have one in my barn and have plans to do something similar with it. Massey was the feature tractor this year. This gentleman had a great Deere toy collection

    Toro acquired both Wheel Horse and Lawn-Boy, hoping to keep those high-end brands alive. They covered market segments where Toro wasn't as strong; Toro didn't have any garden tractor presence, and Wheel Horse also brought a line of smaller but well-engineered lawn tractors and alternate rear-engine riders to their lineup. Lawn-Boy was kind of its own special segment with two-cycle push mowers and a strong brand loyalty that extended into the commercial sector. (I usually saw more commercial Lawn-Boy mowers than Toro trimmer mowers in commercial service back in the day.) Toro supported the engineering efforts to carry the Wheel Horse line into the 300, 400, and 500 lines plus develop the 5xi, and they were the ones that brought Lawn-Boy into the modern age with the oil-injected/piston-ported "M" series 2-cycle mowers. They were very much trying to grow and build those brands. Unfortunately, economic downturns that favored the rise of cheap commodity equipment, a decline in popularity of gardening on a scale big enough to induce people to need GTs, engine emission regulations, plus the rise of zero-turns across pro and homeowner use, all really turned the market upside-down. Today, SCUTs have eaten into the garden tractor market and cheap commodity lawn "tractors"/riding mowers have gobbled up the homeowner market. Zero-turns dominate the turf care industry. Emissions regulations killed 2-cycle mowers. In the end, Toro's two big acquisitions went from being important assets to a mostly dead market. Toro actually protected the Wheel Horse brand by not applying it to anything that didn't have a genuine Wheel Horse engineering legacy. Unfortunately, there's no way to fit genuine Wheel Horse into Toro's modern lineup. So the brand remains dormant. Lawn-Boy still has name recognition, and just survives as re-branded Toro homeowner mowers. The "M" series deck lives on though, in slightly modified/updated form as one of Toro's (expensive) pro line trimmer mowers. Toro spent money and had plans to cultivate those brands and build themselves into a "family" of reputable names. Economics and outside market forces changed all that.

    Buddha Diesel engine...welded rear widen rims. It would really look nice all restored but it would be a expensive endeavor . Here’s a couple pictures of the farm from 1973 . This is a really cool site .

    Great pictures!!! I sure like that Cockshutt, a model "50" if I'm correct. A simple tear down & resto she could look/run like brand new again. I would love to have it in my collection.

    I still miss my '95 2.2 5spd I special ordered from the factory it was blue but after many deer involved accidents, it was repainted and customized a bit, but it served me well for 10+ years and 250k+ miles, Jeff.

    Jeff, I bet you had a lot of hours behind the wheel of that equipment while growing up.

    Story is guy I got it from bought it New in 1966 and he said the dealer painted it this way to sell it faster... I got new decals with it and it will be restored to original. Sat in his barn for 10+ years, he put battery charger on it and it fired right up and it doesn't smoke a lick. When these techys run good they really run good! First pic is from before I washed it

    There is a replaceable seal behind the drum. Here is the parts list Pinned at the very top of the Transmission forum are crossovers for the seal numbers to available replacements. Garry

    It's either my grammar or your understanding that's screwed up. But I stand corrected the chain's are on the outside of the tire. You have to be careful what you say here. These guys will have you for dinner. Thanks @Ed Kennell

    You could buy a four wheel dolly and rest the blower on it when you shut down then you could drive it out the door to warm up.

    In my opinion the cast iron Kohler single cylinder engines are rather bullet proof. If it sounds good and isn't smoking excessively you will get another 1,000 hours out of it with proper maintenance.

    The biggest problem would be getting the word out to all who own garden tractors. Don't know your part of the country, but where I am there aren't any garden tractor only events. I guess if you printed up flyers and attended every tractor and engine show for the year within a 200 mile radius passing them out you could generate some interest.

    Be prepared for a fight - that stuff does not cut easily nor cleanly . I recommend using a jig saw with a very fine blade and take your time - I've had to make a few over the years and it was a real pita at best . The equipment used to stamp those must be some very high strength steel cutters and I doubt they last very long . Sarge

    @ebinmaine as for turning in mud I had the same problem. I installed a set of ags on the front and the only weight I had was about 30 lbs of hydraulic tank and fluid. No more steering problems. Jay

    Welcome to the forum. When the internal pto spring and associated hardware was eliminated they changed the short pto shaft #33 to one with two #34 retaining rings - one on each side of the #36 bearing. They added spring #13 to the rod back to the handle. Now the pto clutch is pulled out away from the clutch disc rather than using the internal spring to push it out. If you look close at a retaining ring one side has sharp edges and the other side has rounded edges because they are stamped in production. The sharp edges lock into the groove better when pressure is applied. The inner retaining ring in this case needs to have the sharp edges facing the engine. The outer retaining ring needs to have to sharp edges facing out away from the bearing. If installed backwards the pressure applied can force the rounded edges out of the groove. The other end of the spring hooks into the bottom corner of the L-bracket. Garry

    If you have a points and coil ignition system run a fused line from the "+" side of the coil to the pump. On a Magneto or trigger ignition system you can use the accessory terminal of the ignition switch.

    I installed an electric fuel pump on my 416-8 and the instructions said to mount near the tank ( lower than tank ). Mounted it on the seat stand below the seat pan. No more starting issues.

    @953 nutI saw in a previous post that you recommended them so I bought the same ones for my custom. Now I have to figure where to mount it. Will it perform well in any location or is it critical where to place it.

    I was just about to cast my vote for the 416 when I saw this. I only use the twins for winter duty. I am convinced half the fuel generates HP and the other half generates heat. What doesn't the 1100 like about winter? I have four 1100s..... three lift instantly and one requires the warm up like the manual recommends.
