December fourth is International Cheetah Day, nature's sprinters, these swift creatures embody grace and speed, painted in a golden coat, thriving in the wild savannah landscapes. They are mother nature’s precision, high-performance machine, designed to do one job and to do it with incredible skill and effectiveness. They can accelerate faster than a Ferrari, tearing up the ground from 0-75 mph in just 3 seconds, and they come with a self-grown paint-job that would make the fanciest of muscle cars blush with envy. That’s right, we’re talking about the Cheetah!

Similar logic in finding a soulmate. Look for the one that won't wear the numbers off your credit card!!

Lots of third party sellers these days and most are legit. It is hard to tell what is what and should be using a barrier payment like PayPal. Plus one of the most common mistakes is getting sucked into those 10/15% off deals if you sign up for their ad's. Info is bought and sold like cheap shoes. Spam producers gravy.

Actually that was a Ford GT-40 but ya' gotta' love a little Cobra.

The rear wheels and tires will fit any traditional Wheel Horse that used 12 inch wheels. Just be aware that the rear tire size is what would be considered slightly smaller on the size scale. 308-8 and similar tractors used those tires. Looks like they will also need inner tubes due to the weather cracking. That will likely be another $40 or more. The front tires will work with any 8 inch front rims on a Wheel Horse, but those wheels will not. They do not have the right hubs for bearings. Personally, I would continue to look for new tires. These are already well torwards being worn out. If they were dirt cheap, they could work for a short while but not worth much at all.

Not so much me as the wife, but she found this idea on the facie-page maybe:

With the transmission in neutral, parking brake set, key in the off position, and the points cleaned disconnect the condenser. Now turn the ignition to the start position and check for spark. If the coil and points are good you should have spark. If you now have spark the condenser was the culprit.

The Cobra is also faster than a Ferrari. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8ad9c2fb21a61ec07e7527f01a853d479196e98358c3845b3701e80d7b7c2adfJmltdHM9MTc2NDgwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=37570d65-6d5b-6b28-1530-1bd66cf66a74&u=a1L3ZpZGVvcy9yaXZlcnZpZXcvcmVsYXRlZHZpZGVvP3E9Zm9yZCt2cytmZXJyYXJpJiZtaWQ9ODM2MjhCNTkzOUE4QkUxMDJFQjg4MzYyOEI1OTM5QThCRTEwMkVCOCZGT1JNPVZBTUdaQw

Our tankless LP water heater has two 4" PVC pipes going to and from it, one for combustion air, one for exhaust. You can place your hand on the exhaust PVC pipe and feel a slight bit of warmth. Our water from a deep well enters the unit at an average of 42* and leaves at 120* and will continue leaving the heat exchanger at 120* as long as there is water flowing. When the fow stops the burner shuts off and stays off until the next time you call for hot water, just that simple. We heat water, cook, heat the home and occasionally use the Gas log fireplace on about 300 to 400 gallons of LP per year depending on the winter. In the summer when we are just using the water heater and cooking with the gas usage the use is not noticeable. Our tank is a 500 gallon unit and I fill it at the end of the summer, unless we have a very harsh winter it will not be refilled until the following summer.

I always tell people if you're looking and can't find someone, stop looking. Do the things you enjoy. Either they will show up or they won't and either way you will still be happy. I lucked out.

I don't want to be around when you try and make them Deestones as big as the Carlisles by putting more air in them.

I totally agree, which is why I have pretty much all of them 🤣🤣🤣

Tires came in today can't wait to put them on probably have to modify the fender some

Might be better off raising it ...?

Somebody didn't get their coffee

I used a piece of 1/16" thick angle iron cut to the shape of the broken piece. Cut out the damaged part and welded the new part in place. Oops, Bill types faster.

Or .... remove the entire top piece with the 2 holes, replace it with thin gage angle mounted from under the inside, Weld, bond, or screw it together.

Lots of sellers use Amazon, eBay, and others in addition to their own site. I have ordered things from a seller's website and had the fulfillment through Amazon. The biggest advantage as I see it is the return policy with eBay and Amazon.

You check with Lincoln at A to Z in pennsylvania? I believe that to be a pretty good idea. Get a fairly thin Fender washer with the correct diameter hole. Use something close to the thickness of your existing sheet metal to make the weld easier. Place, cut, trim, form the fender washer and paste it in place.

Bought this about three years ago finally got all the parts I needed to put this rj together

Amazon. I'm talking about Amazon.

Sound advice there. The trouble comes in later IF you did not take pictures....

After having been through a spill... I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone does this.

An electric tank type uses electricity with 100% efficiency meaning that all of the heat went directly into the water. The only loss is thru the jacket and that is very little. A tankless gas heater loses the heat going up the chimney plus all of the residual heat between uses.

Got the engine almost all apart going to reseal the engine and paint it been working on the frame a little bit getting it ready to paint it too and waiting for parts to come in

Just found these within a resonable driving distance… would these work with 23x8.50x12? Even if buy them just for the wheels? Seller said: back wheels unusable but rims excellent condition.. are they alone worth $30.00?? And are they what I need? I took Eric’s recommendation and found some Deestone turf tires for $125.00 shipped.. so I’d be about $150.00 in for these used rims and new tires. Which I think is resonable considering my current 856 rears are Orignal Wheelhorse branded tires and Calcium filled wheels haha.

We have LP on site for the Generac. Venting the unit might need some creative solutions. The concrete chimney starts below grade and runs up the back side of the house. I suppose it could be tapped into above the connection for the furnace. I doubt I could 'T' into the furnace flue pipe.... The furnace is about the same age. We have been thinking about going to LP for the next furnace and getting rid of the oil tank in the basement. Probably out to go to the next size larger LP tank if we make that conversion.

I've bought from simpletire and Wally world. Something I've learned to pay attention to is the freight fee and other "service fees". Be very aware. I usually try to choose the tire I want.. then see who has the best price.

The handle and chute come off with not too much trouble, take photos first. Download the manual for instructions when you know the model number.

Between the three of us someone finally got one: My son and I saw this one and another one in the field, shot and missed, and drove them right the wife. It's her first deer ever.

Download the Kohler manual here, see pages 29-33. Harbor Freight is 19 miles from you, buy a multimeter that will read in the ranges stated in the manual.

Welcome! That depends on the model... please post a picture of it...

You should have battery voltage at the points when they are open. You should have 0 volts at the points when they are closed. If you do not get the 0 volts the points are not making contact when closed. Clean the contacts.

What do mean by having power "to the points" The points are on the ground side of the ignition circuit. Also, new points out of the box need to have the contact surfaces cleaned as they are coated from the factory so they don't oxidize in the package. Make sure those surfaces are clean.

Yes, I think that would help with the math, but to be honest, while enhanced heating efficiency would be something to aim for, I'm actually more concerned about working in the shop in comfort, without a cold draft from the window blowing on me. I guess I'm getting spoiled in my retirement years.

There was about six inches of snow on the ground when I got up this morning, and I don't have the snowblower back on my 522xi yet, so I brought out the big gun (my Case 480E) and cleared 'most' of the snow off the driveway and turnaround areas with the loader bucket, which was a bit awkward, since there are so many short-radius curves to deal with. Also, it's fairly new asphalt...just a few months old...and I didn't want to damage it with the edge of the loader bucket, so I just scraped off what I could with the bucket in its unlocked mode, with just the weight of the bucket keeping it on the ground, and with the leading edge of the bucket angled up slightly so it wouldn't dig into the asphalt. It's not a very efficient way to scrape snow, since the upward angle wanted to make the bucket slide up over the packed areas, leaving a lot of patches of snow. Oh, well. Good enough for now.

I guess the missing elf is taking the photo?

Jack I applaud all of the mods you’ve made except using a bolt in the front hitch. Under load and use, both the bolt threads and the parts of the hitch touching them will have premature wear. A piece of plain rod or a bolt with a longer shoulder would work better.

The BBT got her Millie going and moved snow

Looks better than factory.

A quick update… dad came over yesterday and we assessed the situation. I suggested using this old spare third arm that I had acquired years ago with a parts tractor. Dad skillfully fabricated the upper “ears” and welded them on to the lift arm—works great! he even cut a slot in them for a little bit of float like the factory arm has. next up: we took and old spare crank rod and fabricated a bracket and welded a hook on the end. It works like a should! Today, I’m going to pick up a belt (gonna try a 5/8x65 as I saw that suggested somewhere on here). I also need to get two helper springs. I have the bolt for the front attach-a-matic and I purchased a set of turnbuckles but realized that the sheet metal where the turnbuckles attach is pretty thin. So, I cut and drilled a piece of flat bar stock to reinforce the area behind it. We are getting close to delivering this to Caleb’s house for winter snow removal duties!

@Bar Nuthin @ebinmaine I totally agree that pre 78 tractors access to the rock shaft is much easier. So Eric, my helpful insight to this problem is to own all the 78-79 C-Series and have a different attachment for each one. This way you don’t have to reach up there to change anything that attaches to the rockshaft!!

48" plow ready to go. Solid link for downpressure. All @peter lena oiled up. At some point we'll paint the blade red. This is Cinnamon Horse color.

The patio tractor assumed that people bought tractors based on what color they were. As stated by @kpinnc, some were repainted in order for them to sell. They have since become a big JD collector item. One of the hardest things to find for them is the seat. With out the correct color seat it is not a correct patio.
