And women of the world reacted with various expressions that gave rise to many subsequent emojis: etc...

March 27, 1998, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves use of the drug Viagra, an oral medication that treats impotence. Sildenafil, the chemical name for Viagra, is an artificial compound that was originally synthesized and studied to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (a form of cardiovascular disease).

You said rise

Nah, all married women react that way - it's an alergic reaction brought on from the gold in the wedding band!!

SAE 30wt. This is what I use in all my old Kohler engines. I know it says for diesel engines. It is a close formula to what your old Kohler requires. This may be a better option in your area. https://www.q8oils.com/fr/product/q8-garden-oil-sae-30/

14 year old Elam making perfect zero turns this morning. Video Project 3.mp4

Two horses could do the job for a couple hours, four horses can do the same job all day with a reasonable lunch rest break.

I like to use E-Z Lok solid wall thread inserts. They come in standard and thin wall. To use the standard wall, you drill and tap and install. To use the thin wall, you drill and tap and then use a slightly bigger drill to remove the peaks of the internal threads, then install.

That kind of zero turn won't get stuck on wet leaves!

Your "tire pile" skins look better than my tractor tires.

We always called them Bush Hogs. You have not committed a mortal sin but in attornment you need to say three Hail Cecils, four Hail Elmers, and recite the Wheel Horse 23rd Psalm. The Wheel Horse is my garden tractor; I shall not want. It moweth my green pastures: it leadeth me beside the still waters. It restoreth my soul: The Wheel Horse plowith the snow on the paths of righteousness. Yea, though I drive through the valley of the green tractors, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy Unidrive and thy Kohler, they comfort me. Thou preparest a Wheel Horse Collectors’ Club show before me: thou anointest my engine with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will drive a Wheel Horse forever.

Not much to do on it while waiting on the axle work. Not gonna sit around an suck old fashions all day... ahem @wallfish Found some nice vintage Silvertowns in the tire pile. Getting mounted, rims cleaned up & painted.

Caught that eh?

Just guessing with all the holes in the hub from bolting through that the axle broke. They were the orginals off the 702 flame. Lot of scrubbing with this.

Hopefully you straitened him out on the color of that seat.

Kinda sacrilegious ain't it? Who's gonna fill up the barn you always stalled in?

This was more of a Wheel Horse tractor accessory day. The old ATV tires that were on my trailer that I sometimes use behind my tractors needed some TLC. One tire had developed a leak, both needed valve stems and had pretty severe weather cracking. So I had some extra tractor tires which held air and some spare hubs so I swapped them. I may swap them back later but at least now I can move and use the trailer until I decide what I want to do.

Yep, they are clearly operating at idle. The fertilizer truck arrived just as Elam finished. The Elam went over the field again. Notice the two outside horses are black buggy horses. The colt on the left is in training, learning to pull in step and follow voice commands. Then David and 4yo Amos are laying irrigation tubing and plastic. The pumpkin, watermelon, and cantaloupe plants that are growing in the greenhouse will be planted thru the plastic with a wagon wheel planter after last frost. The plants will be fed fertilized water thru the line under the plastic.

Spraying fences again today. Have to do this once every couple years. You can see the difference in front of the tractor vs behind...

Forgive me father Pond, I have strayed to the green side. Please don't ban my Redsquare account I have a friend who says, " Even a A blind hog finds an Apple every now and then" A local estate sale had this tractor for sale on FBMP and at the sale for way to much. The previous owner had 10 acres of horse pasture that he shredded. Around here Estate Sales are outrageous price Thursday, 25% off outrageous 2nd day, and 1/2 off 3rd day getting closer to reasonable. I was the last person on the 3rd day just looking around and she was counting cash to close. I didn't intending to buy a tractor, but sure needed something I could put a post hole digger on for some repairs on the family farm. We have a great guy leasing the 300 acre family farm for cattle. But we are responsible for the 3+ miles of exterior fencing. Being in Texas I guess I should call this our "Ranch", but Dad always called it the Farm! Thankfully we don't need to build new fence, but there are cedar line post every 5th T post that are rotting off at the bottom, especially where there are low spots that stay wet longer. I'm the youngest son in the family, and still able to do some work around the place I inquired about the tractor and she said she couldn't do 50% off on it. I made her an offer and she took my number and said it would continue to be on FBMP. 2 weeks later I got a call and she said she needed to wrap up the estate sale and get seller their money. I interpreted that as, if she didn't sell the tractor she wouldn't get her 30% commission off it. She played the game of she had other offers to call and got me $500 higher. Surprisingly wife said "Go for it", you've been looking for something and you won't have to work on it before you use it like your backhoe one' PS there was kind of a wife jab there about my greasy farm clothes....the old Oliver always has a oily hydraulic seep somewhere. So its a 2021 John Deere 1023E with loader and shredder. It had 67 hours. I didn't steal it, but a really good price! I even got to transfer the last 6 months of the 5 year warranty over to me! The old Oliver doesn't have power steering, plus the JD hydro transmission with foot control sure is nice for light work. In 2 weeks I've put 7 hours on it shredding 2 passes around the perimeter fencing, and cleaning up some light brambles and dead wood along the fences. A lot more could be done around the farm, but we owe it to our leaser to maintain the fences When I got it the bucket didn't have a single scratch in it. I've put a few! Nice 4 ft shredder Going through the service list I've greased everything. But see it has an initial 50 hr engine and transmission oil and filter change. I can tell the filters are the black factory painted one with no writing, so I need to do that. Interestingly besides the transmission hydraulic filter, it has a screen to remove and clean for the pump suction. While most would consider this subcompact too small, I like that I can put it on a 16 ft trailer and pull it with my 1/2 ton truck. It weights 2600lbs I have my my old White Oliver 2-44 for any heavy work. With loaded tires it weights just under 10,000 lbs. With the weight of the backhoe and a bucket full of gravel it can put all 44hp of diesel grunt to that back axle. I try to be careful, as I really think it has enough grunt to break that heavy back axle.

You are one lucky guy, you should go buy a lottery ticket.

I have also used type "F" ATF for the 953s without any problems.

What is the spec number of the engine

This is what I have been running in mine for years. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/lucas-oil-products/lucas-conventional-hydraulic-fluid-30w-1-gallon/luc0/10017

So how far do you go to save your carbs? I came across this one with a ripped out screw hole. Using Jb weld to fix and will retap the treads.

Those John Deeres are Nice!...I check them out every year at our County fair....Maybe some Day..LOL

hi JCM, when you want to get rid of the squarebody let me know!

Back home from the farm on the other side of the state as we continue to restore the water ways from brush and junk trees that have taken over in the past 30 years. We burned six or so piles and reduced the size of some we had already burned. Quite a job and a dirty one at that. The pond was almost un-approachable due to sprouts and trees--look at it now, just like I remember as a kid and I caught five bass (should have had eight) in thirty minutes. A new electric line is going through the farm and they purchased an easement from us. The other day, my brother who owns the house and a few acres that used to be part of the farm, called and said that trucks were coming in his second driveway and crossing onto the farm. He called the electric company and they said in the contract that, if needed, they had access to more than just the easement right of way. We did find that clause buried deep in the contract and unless you are educated in understanding contract language, you may miss it as we did. When he said that he didn't give them access to cross his property that quickly changed and they build their own ramp from the highway to the easement some 700 feet from his house. He didn't really want cement trucks and heavy equipment within 75 feet of his house coming and going from daylight to dark as it is across the road building the sub station. If you can zoom in on picture you'll see several fires. It was an excellent week to burn, not much wind and we had the disk on the tractor--just in case. The grapple we bought is a HUGE asset in this work.

Perhaps the PO parked it right where his wife wanted to back into a garage and the axle took a beating. Please don't ask me how I would know about such a possibility. .

Planning to start cleaning out my shed this weekend. Scrap some stuff, post other things. Too much as well.

Not a horizontal shaft with multiple flail blades, but a typical farm pasture shredder that has a vertical shaft gearbox with 2 swinging blades .

I have a tote on my 312H. No top as I store it inside and haul some long tools and hunting gear.

So I take it that the mower is a flail mower, not a finish mower ? Linen beige on the rims & a black seat cover would make it less "offensive"...

I hope to be starting a topic in Other Brands. Stay tuned

I’m with you Jim. That’s why I think I’m just going to bring stuff to sell at the Big Show this year, and not bring any tractors. I just have too much stuff that I know I’ll never use and other people can.

PENETROL® Oil-Based Coating Additive is a versatile low-odor additive to improve penetration, adhesion and flow of oil-based paints, stains, varnishes and primers.

Same here. I'm going to retire ( again) at the end of July and it's going to start then

I had the same thing years ago that I picked up somewhere. Used it once and finally scraped it. Now that I am around the house a lot I've been getting rid of a ton of stuff at the transfer station in town and donating clothes and some really nice Winter jackets some never worn in Town as well. I just have accumulated WAY TOO MUCH STUFF. The time has come to let it go.

I’m not the original owner. I found a guy a few years ago near Germansville, Pa who did home / estate cleanouts who listed it for sale with a bunch of other stuff including a 520-H. All low hour stuff sitting in a garage for many years. I sold off some stuff but kept the 418-A. I try to put a few hours a year on it to keep it running good. Always use ethanol free gas in all my stuff and it makes a huge difference in performance.

Fixed my issue. Indexed the eccentric to match my other tractor, it was almost 180° opposite. Took out the linkage rod, greased both rod ends and lengthened the rod slightly. I now have full travel in both directions and forward speed has improved.

Here is what I do to my tall spindles.

I would say that is like being on a diet while working at Krispy Kreme. ... Good luck sir!

Placed the 36 inch rear discharge mower deck on my B-80 today. Greased and cleaned everything up for mowing duty!

I'll reach back out to the owner next week sometime and see if he has a price on it. Don't want to look too eager. I don't need another one, and I'm trying hard to suppress my inner Redneck that is attracted to shiny objects (Jeff Foxworthy reference).

Removed the snow plow and installed the tiller.

Removed the snow blade and chains from my C141. Didn’t use it one time this winter. Installed the mower deck, then mulched some leaves that blew in over the winter.

Put some Cragars and baby moons on our 702 today

Did some spring greasing and swapped some wheels and tires around to free up a set for a new project Found a cracked shifter boot on the c165 and replaced it with a new one I had on the shelf. It stays under cover but glad I got around to doing some routine maintenance and caught it.

Fixed my weight bracket and put the suitcase weights back on the Bronco 14. At least they are a bit straighter than before.

So let me see if I got this right? i have a K91 with a rope pull start on it. I want to put a Techy recoil pull start on it. So I buy a Techy recoil start and a Techy "short" recoil start cup? do you happen to have a part number for that? Thanks
