    My daughter spotted this Elmo on a Wheel Horse on display at Kraynak's store in Sharon Pa. today. It's a popular store know widely for their In store Christmas displays. I was just wondering if this tractor belongs to one of our members here.And of course what exact model it is. My daughter was so excited to show this to me and she set it as my phone background pic.

    My snow plow lift rod broke while clearing the driveways here in Michigan. Of course it always happens when you're at the farthest distance from the barn. I have a C160 made in the mid 70's. It's a plowing machine. Once I managed to limp it back to the barn... I had to get it repaired. I made a trip to the True Value hardware store to buy some 3/8" steel rod; figuring I'd make one on my own... a sales assistant suggested a cement anchor bolt that is 3/8" in diameter, threaded on the correct end and bent on a 90 degree angle on the other end... Well, I compared it to the original and it matched perfectly !!! So instead of buying one off Ebay for $30.00 +/-..... it worked great and cost me less than $3.00 and that is buying two so I'd have a spare! All I had to do was drill the bent end for a cotter pin or whatever you like to use.... It worked great. Just my 2 cents to help you all and save you some serious $$$ .

    So as some of you know all too well, I have recently upped the stable quite a bit. Most of it was taken in to pass on to new owners here in Denmark, which was also the case with this little horse. It all started a few months back, when I was sorting out all the jump thru hoops of getting horses corralled in the US, and herded into a container bound for Europe. One day my phone rang. It was a young lad, about 10-12 yo, and he said to me: Mister, I have heard that you are getting a s...load of horses send home from the US. Would it be possible for me to get a horse in there among yours?. Damn! that was a boy with some spunk. (don't know if I'm allowed to say that, but I did anyway ) Then he finished it of and said: You should know that I do not have all the money, and that you may have to hold on to it for a short while until I get my dirt bike sold!.............. Well what do you say to a young boy that calls you up like that? Of cause I said yes, and he told me what he was looking for. Meanwhile, the resident forum dinosaur was helping me getting a foot to the ground on this whole deal, and as if it was meant to be, this very helpful friend of mine said: Eeeerrh you wouldn't want my old Raider 10, would you? That Raider was spot on for this kid, and he was ecstatic about it. Time went, and this whole thing became a reality. That Raider 10 was of cause the first tractor I picked out and began prepping. I had promised him he could have it at cost, but I couldn't bear handing him a tractor that would not start, so I ended up giving him a little Christmas present. He is not aware of it, but the look on his face when he saw it, and fired it right up was perfect, and all I hoped for. I started by cleaning the fuel system and carb. It had not run for years, so it took a little elbow grease. Gave it new fuel filter, checked hoses, redid some wiring, swapped out the front plate on the starter (the old one was worn out totally in the bushing), gave it a new bulb in the headlamps, checked fluids, gassed it up, gave it a new battery, adjusted the points, had the wife sew a few tears in the seat cushion, cleaned it up nicely, and heck, I even put air in the tires. After letting it run without spark plug a bit to get some fresh gas thru the pump, I connected the fuel line to the carb, and let it fill up the bowl. In with the plug, and it fired right up. Minor adjustment to the carb, and it ran nice. I took it for a little spin to make sure everything was OK, and parked it when I was satisfied. That same evening, the kid calls me up: I'm selling my dirt bike tomorrow!. Can I come pick it up? Talk about things happening in just the right order....... Next morning I took it out to shoot a few pictures for the PO, and that was when this strange thing came crawling in the back of my mind. This little tractor was not even close to anything that suited my needs nor desires, and even though the kids laughed at me, and the wife figured i looked like a giant buffoon on a toy tractor, I couldn't help taking it for another spin, contemplating what it would be like to keep it, and if I had room for it, and if I really did have to let it go. ...........Strangest thing. Must be a bug. But as you may have guessed, yes of cause the kid got his horse, and he was proud as could be, and I do not blame him one little bit.

    Had a GT14 that I brought back from Horse Death. That was tagged Lazarus. My resto Mod was names Elijah. My GT22-8 will likely carry the moniker Samson. But I am waiting to make sure it’s worthy of the name once it’s finished.

    Those are a standard muffler that can be bought almost any place. There not the quietest but there better then nothing. Here one for less then $10.00 https://m.lowes.com/pd/Arnold-Muffler/1189873?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-SeasonalOutdoorLiving-_-MowerAccessories-_-1189873:Arnold&CAWELAID=&kpid=1189873&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=1074&k_clickID=fe763dad-8fa0-473e-a94d-79e963c69313&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvu3K8dGW2AIV3UwNCh30uwRJEAQYAiABEgLpOfD_BwE You may have to add a reducer I'm not sure. Be very careful getting old one off you could break the side of engine . Sometimes cutting the old one off flush and cutting inside of whats left in engine is better. There are other posts about trying to get old mufflers off. If you cannot get the old one with WD40 after soaking it cutting it out is sometimes the only option.

    No pets were harmed in the making of this video. As many of you know, my honey and I spend a lot of time outdoors. Our dog is not super fond of the cold being very short haired and single coated. Today we got her into new footwear... My stomach hurts from laughing.

    Hello everyone from "Old Blighty" (England). This is a bit of a cry for "Help!". I currently restoring, from the ground up a 1972/73?, "Raider 14, 8 Speed". The main problem being, every time I need any spares, I can only find a reasonable supply of parts in the USA, therefore its costing me an absolute fortune in shipping charges. I've so far not been able to locate a reliable supplier of parts here in the UK. I'm now getting close to the point of giving up! Can anyone please help?

    Some of the prices being asked on Ebay are unconscionable. Thanks for sharing, and next time you are in Ace thank the salesperson for us.

    If you want a quiet muffler then you want a Nelson! You may be able to save a few bucks by finding one on Ebay. http://www.nelsonglobalproducts.com/catalogs/

    Thanks Tom for letting me know what happened with that Raider. I'll bet my Dad is smiling also. Just so you know, it only set for 2 years because I was not mowing my Mom's yard anymore...glad you figured out the starter. I'm not sure if my Dad did that muffler thingy, but it does work. That is all galvanized, threaded pipe. Here is a good picture of the muffler system.

    ACE has their -25 windshield washer on sale for 99 cents. That's sense, or scents for a Squonk. You do need an ACE Rewards Card. Fill them tires.

    Was ready to buy a new truck 4.5 years ago but ended up helping with some family/church projects that ate up my budget. But that’s coming to an end so I have been shopping for a new truck for a while and waffled between new vs used vs newused as well as gas vs diesel and of course brands and finally whether 3/4 or 1 ton. In the end, i ended up with this F-350 6.7 STX 4x4. Should go nicely with the trailer i bought yhis summer.

    I would like to replace the muffler on my 1968 Kohler 8 hp engine. It is about 3/4" water pipe. Then, the muffler itself is about a five inch diameter. I am guessing that it is the original muffler. Any suggestions on a replacement? I would like to have it as quiet as possible. The old one is really rusty. I going to have to get some penetrating oil and a couple of pipe wrenches to get it off. Thank you. P.S. I really like the Christmas lights at the top of the page!! 🌲 🎅

    Thank you Sir It was just a light touch up, but yeah, I think it looks nice. And yes he sure had a big smile plastered all over. It puzzled him a bit though, how it had turned up nicer than the pictures he saw of it initially. I just blamed it on the Previous owner like all used car salesmen do

    I recently put a 8 hp Kohler in my 654. I had to rotate the S/G over center to get it to clear the fuel tank. By doing this, I had to modify the belt tightening bracket and it became a "pull" (the generator) to tighten vs. the original "push" (the generator) to tighten. Now this created another issue...Battery! I put the battery under the seat! Oh, and the belt guard has to have a little attention to mount to the Kohler vs. the Tecumseh. It actually works out well.

    The good: He got it running, said it seems like the more times he cranked it the better the starter seemed to do. Got to love these old beasts! Absolutely no smoke too, couldn’t be happier at the price he paid, will try to get a video on here soon! He’s got new front tires ready to put on and he’s got 1-set of Rears off my dually’s until he decides what to get back there. The bad: PO didn’t replace a $10 shift boot and trans was full of nasty chunky rust water, I’m sure it all came in through the missing boot. It’s turns and shifts but has crunchy sound on right outer bearing - reminds me of eating cereal - maybe I’m too hungry . Going to eventually tear it apart and rebuild it with new bearings.

    @ebinmaine, good for you and your honey they all need love,... Almost 3 years ago I found this little fella wandering around outside (following a snow fall) of my wife's office during her lunch break, upon returning I decided to follow the paw prints in the snow and found him under a bush next the building shivering, long story short I swooped him up and told her to find him a home, just happened to be ours, picture before riding in the cart hitched to the is the day I/we found him, he's now the comic relief in the house, Jeff.
