Hi Guys, lately I’ve been playing a Computer game called Farm Simulator 25. There is a large community of people who make additions for the game. I play when I have free time or if the weather is too crappy to work on my full sized tractors. Recently with the assistance of Chat GPT, I’ve been learning how to use the 3D modeling program Blender. Now I can make additions for my game. One I’m working on now is a 308/312/C-85/C-141 group of tractors. Chat GPT also comes in when handling the technical side of converting the Blender files to work in my game. It handles the technical stuff and I’m the tester/R and D person/modeller in the equation. Here’s some pic’s.

November 13, 1982, Near the end of a weeklong national salute to Americans who served in the Vietnam War, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington, D.C. after a march to its site by thousands of veterans of the conflict. The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.

If virtual Wheel Horses are anything like actual Wheel Horses, you might want to go ahead and purchase more storage.

I used to have a virtual Wheel Horse, But it ransomware!

I told my wife I wasn’t going to buy any more WH’s until I got the 420 LSE finished. It wasn’t 30 minutes later that I saw this 520 on MP. Floated the guy an offer. Next he’s asking when can he deliver it… Now to figure out if the Onan is any good. It’s not locked up. He said he bought it for the muffler and a hydraulic hose. The previous owner said it had a wiring issue and just stopped.

You WILL need to know the bore size before ordering a piston & a set of rings... Standard bore, .010 over, etc. If you plan to have the cylinder bored oversize, the Machine Shop needs those parts BEFORE they start... let THEM measure the bore to determine the correct size....

DOT has been wondering who is removing rusty old sign posts and what the heck they were doing with them. Now we know, they become tractor frames.

I missed post #4 about the fuel pump. Your starter and electrical system will thank you if you decide to go with an electric fuel pump. One of my 520,s had the original fuel pump on it when I got it and it seemed to be a healthy one, would squirt fuel across shop, of course it took quite a few revolutions of the engine to get fuel system primed back up if it sat for any length of time. After installing electric fuel pump all I have to do is turn key on, let pump run for a second or two, and almost an instant start. I prefer the old mechanical pumps on the older WH's just for sake of being original but the electric fuel pumps are a much better fit for anything with the fuel tank below the carb and you dont have to worry about the diaphragm of a mechanical leaking fuel into the crankcase. Here is a couple pics of the one I installed on my 520.

What did the gunslinging cowboy say to the pencil? Draw!

For the price of a fuel pump repair kit you could buy an electric fuel pump and never have to worry about gasoline contaminating your engine oil.

All kidding aside, the proportions look right. Does Terry @Vinylguy make virtual decals??

Why are fish so smart? They live in schools!

Stephen is a great person and as said was a very early member on this forum. My family will be praying for him and his family. @nylyon- if you are in contact with him, please let him know there are people all over praying for him!

There is a set screw you can see in the 3rd picture. It has a locknut (7/16) on an Allen Head dog point set screw. Need a 1/8" set screw wrench to tighten. If you loosen the set crew, you can pull out the shifter and check it to see if it is OK. We have a thread around here some where that shows how it all works. I'll try to find it for you. Here ya go.

This was our first Wheel Horse, bought about 12 years ago. I love this tractor and am feeling pretty proud of how it looks. 1987 312-A, as far as I know, all original. I have a 42" SD Deck to restore to put on it, mule has already been repainted. All done with Rustoleum Regal Red rattle cans. I've been working on this a little at a time for about 2 months. Not as nice as I had hoped for, but I don't have the time to invest in all the paint stripping and glazing to make it all perfectly smooth. Tried some clear coat on top on the fender, and it bubbled so I gave up on that. Maybe I'll give it some wax to make it shinier. The hubcaps had some rust that I mostly got rid of. I still need to do some detailing on the tower tins and engine tins, but am not going to try to repaint those completely. Many thanks to @Vinylguy for the decals!

I have a crank. It may or may not need turning. You would need to get it checked. PM me if interested.

Here is an original parts list if you need it

The Spec number, 30108D is the most important information when looking for a crankshaft. We have a couple of venders here that you should start with. K&B Horse Parts @76c12091520h may have some NOS parts for the engine. A to Z https://a-ztractor.com/ will have used parts and may have NOS too. He sells on eBay but if you don't see what you are looking for give him a call.

I’m in the process of working/restoring one too! So far I don’t plan on using any attachments and I’ve removed its outer pulley and I’m putting this cover (can) over the PTO. It will be painted red soon!

Now that Don and Steve have your shifter problem solved please tell us a bit about your and yourself. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/47-introductions/

That would be a wall hanger. WTG

Just noticed your custom circumcision device...! Man you go all out for your herd...

Next one is in production... Very rare twin cylinder Solomon ski racing binding engine... with Detroit Edison telephone pole bolt steering column and Johnson outboard motor trim adjuster hood supports...

When done getting the shifter back in order, be sure to have a good shifter boot back in place. Essential for keeping the innards free of junk and water.

I hope I do not disappoint!

It’s a pretty day, still and cold. No movement however. I am busy tonight, taking tomorrow off, and gun opener is Sunday. Pew pew!

That's what I got! Completely covered in what looks like some type of spray lube and will definitely be using Allen or hex Head fasteners. After I get the mice moved out 🙄

Processed 20 lbs of venison burger. Chopped 3 lb of frozen bacon. Double ground to get good bacon distribution. Bagged, scored, and frozen 80- 1/4 pounders.

Finished the plow and lawn roller.

Those are most creative. Just got back this weekend from the 100 years of Progress show in Carthage NC and saw miniatures of CAT equipment. Reminded me of your art. Those are so cool. This looks like you sprinkled magic dust on the real parts and shrunk them down. As for being addicted, those are great conversation starters. Gotta love those miniatures. Fantastic display pieces. Great Job! Dave

Finished my next model - a utility cart with functional ball hitch using a broken WH tie rod... As always - a big thanks to @Vinylguy for the excellent decals!!!
