Set a camera up on the cat food what to see was eating it and got this ... Well the nice thing about trail cameras is this horse pic ... Moved the trail cam to the asparagus patch to see if deer were eating that ... It was what they call a bluebird day.

I use small bolts ,lock washers, and nuts....cause I have tons ofem.

All loaded up for a trip to western Massachusetts tomorrow. Two tractors for the Big Show via @wallfish. Couple mowing decks and some other variousitems for another Redsquare Supporter. Swap trade drive blab & stare out the Pilot windows for a couple days.

Sad day... Had to put our lab Denali down today... the cancer caught up with him this afternoon. Labored to breath, seizures, etc. He was a great dog. RIP buddy...

Perfect for mounting predator motors to C series tractors... exact height needed for the belt guard...

May 7, 1998, the German automobile company Daimler-Benz—maker of the world-famous luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz—announces a $36 billion merger with the United States-based Chrysler Corporation. The purchase of Chrysler, America’s third-largest car company, by the Stuttgart-based Daimler-Benz marked the biggest acquisition by a foreign buyer of any U.S. company in history.

Today, I worked on pulling parts off an old mowing deck I got from @ebinmaine I also pulled the mowing deck off the 312 as it was making enough noise to drown out the tractor. The idler was bad on that deck so as luck would have it, the idler I took off the other deck was a direct match. Now to put everything back on and try it out.

@76c12091520h has these pulleys and they are BETTER THAN FACTORY!!!!! ( clutch disc is better too!!!)

I cut the angle holding the two pieces. Spread it open far enough to get the 3/4" shaft in.

Yep a Fairbanks ... I had one that just gave me fits too. Yours even has the original handle. Yep been feeding her the barn cat food the cats won't eat. Goes to show how much corn is in it.

Picked up a new (to me) WH hauler today! They sure are proud that it is made in MI!

The military does have its own “sorting hat” doesn’t it? My Dad joined the Navy to “get into the fight” (WWII). After a battery of tests the powers that be assigned him as a diesel mechanics instructor at Great Lakes. He wasn’t thrilled, but he claimed it had two big upsides. It motivated him to get a degree in Mechanical Engineering on the GI Bill. And he met my Mom while on a weekend pass.

The pulley from Brian is really impressive. It's not stamped tin like the original

Well, that answers that.

@peter lena pete trying to get side shields off started this hole thing ,buggerd up shield, bearng was good, not any more. @razorback I'm going to bearing distributors, called and they have them. So when I get some information I'll let you know. @ri702bill I'll see if I can get some 5-40 button head screws .

I agree... I mill off the heads of the rivets and drive the body of the rivets out. Replace the sealed bearing with a new one. Buff the halves on a wire wheel before assembly. I use #5-40 Button head screws - 1/4" or 5/15" long with a dab of blue Loctite on the threads and then the hexnut. This way, they are easily rebuildable later on instead of riveting. a light coat of Rusty metal Primer and a spritz of red - better than new...

I don't have a K341 to comment on, but on my Bronco's K321 (same crank), the increase in vibration was not nearly as bad as I feared it would be. It's definitely there, but knowing my engine is now safe from window making is easily worth it. I won't install another Kohler with the balance gears still in there. I like these old engines too much to take the chance.

Garbage in = garbage out was the computer norm. Add AI to the picture where it selects the more prominent information regardless of its validity and it becomes Garbage in = Gospel out. Special interests have always been able to make multiple internet entries promoting their point of view and thereby suppressing any alternate information, truthful or not. If you took the time and scrolled through enough PR garbage you could find what they were hiding. AI seems to doing the same but totally discounting alternative information. OK, now I will get back down off my soap box and get back to Wheel Horse talk.

Pretty darn nice.

Needs a good bit of attention elsewhere, to be expected being a '73 with no records and not much known about its history. Someone has been pumping grease into it but the fuel pump leaks, most of the wiring is original, I can't tell yet if the head has ever been pulled and doubt that the valves are in adjustment by the way it runs...stuff to do I'd like to pull the balance gears but I've got other priorities and no tasks in mind for this one. We'll see how things shake out, it might be worth a couple hours to go ahead and do that while I'm this far in.

I'm 14 so you're not the only kid on here

I was considering not hauling my rather large toyhauler and get 8-10 mpg but what the hell we only live once. If it means having to sell a few parts to make up the extra few bucks in fuel so be it. I am probably going to haul it down a few days early and stay at a campground in Gettysburg area and do the battlefield tours.

Some work on new steel box for WH trailer (dump trailer). Undercarriage needed some work,but that is the base for new "dump box" , aside original platform for hauling wood (2 in 1). Materials: old 2 wheel wheelbarrow, old bed frame, scrap metal and some new metal pieces. Fit for wooden pallet 120x80 cm. My original modified patform for hauling wood, hay, grass,branches etc

Got home from work and the kids wanted to play outside. After a bit my youngest decided to go to the barn because he wanted a tractor ride. He picked out the C120 and we did a few laps. Then my oldest decided she wanted to try and drive it. So I let her try but seat set up was too tall for her to fully reach the clutch and brake pedals so I grabbed the 10-8 since it’s just the one pedal and seat straight on the fender and she fit it pretty good. While she drove around I grabbed the gorilla cart and put the two youngest in that attached to the 120. Great way to end a long work day.

Niiiiice. That manual impact driver was a recommended purchase by the folks here on Redsquare several years ago when we restored my 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse. EXCELLENT purchase. Whack! To tighten. Then loosen. Repeat. Remove.

I've had issues in the past with the #3 phillips for the screen on the flywheel. I've soaked these for a few days and hit them with the manual impact. Four for 4

His 9th birthday is tomorrow... He flopped into my daughters lap when we picked him up as a puppy, he flopped into her lap when he breathed his last... poetry...

Not much “horsein” around time today but did get the front wheels running straight with steering wheel on the 520H, kind a pet pev of mine, I like um straight!

And you have to love that "Kabang!!" when it finally yields!

It’s funny you ask… 😎

@gt14rider regular reference to this bearing issue , personally always go for the WIDE RUBBER SIDE SHIELDS , thats what you want ? unknown grease in there , small flat pocket screwdriver or small flat putty knife , easy removed with no damage at all , pop off both sides , Walmart , lucas x-tra heavy duty green chassis grease , wipe out all original grease , carb cleaner aerosol , flushing , hand pack bearing , reinstall seals , lube is 550 deg flash point , also polyurea rated , so it stays with the issue , done this in every related , pto driven bearing , guess what ? NO WHYINING BEARING NOISE , or related failures , @Razorback , personally love repetitive failures , track it down and kill it , make a change . mule drive bearings also re lubed , no belt squealing , just easy smooth wind up , that pto lever start up area is a GOLD MINE , for operational delight , heim joint end swivel , pete

https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-4586G/Parking-and-Traffic-Signs/U-Channel-Post-for-Parking-Signs-10-ft-Green?pr , regularly make up improvements based on failure , this type of multi ton make up , often galvanised , bonis , is a great fill in or remake on original , picked up my first at town dump maintenance shop , just snoopin around , they also gave it to me , absolutely bomb proof . there are also related brackets at local , H/D LOWES , ETC . paint it red , black , it disappears . this only a suggestion / opportunity , for a project . pete

One could also use square bar tubing. My seats are mounted this way. I need extra distance backward.

Glad you found us, please take a few minutes to do an introduction and tell us a bit about your Wheel Horse. Here is a link for intro. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/47-introductions/

Comparing 1967 to 2026 USA average gasoline price and USA average income, both increased just over 13 times. It's all relative folks.

Just wondering if a piece of fuel line could be split and put around the opening?

Steve well said . Have to try to keep the torch going , and if guys back out because of fuel unfortunately there will eventually be no show . I will be heading down Wednesday morning despite the diesel fuel costs .

Got your PM. I'll answer later today and see what I can do to help out.

Looks like she is eating for three.

HOLY CRAP Mr. U Haul!!!!! I didn't think ya had the stones! He'd show up at plow days with a rented U haul ... claimed it was sensible... No place to store a trailer. Glad to see you got your big girl panties on guy!

When I went for pre enlistment testing (1963) one test was a Morse Code test which I did very well on. I didn't know Morse Code then and never learned it but I did know how to take a test. It consisted of a 33 1/3 recording of the code with only three letters being used. I selected a letter and each time it came up I would mark it and leave all the others blank. When the recording finished I chose on of the other letters and marked all of the blanks with that letter. I got a 71% on the test which qualified me to attend Radioman A School. Fortunately I scored even better on the electrical and electronics test and was able to become an Electronics Technician, I would have made a terrible radioman.

My daughter asked me once why I talk to myself so much. I told her my grandpaw always said only take advice from the smarter folks... so I talk to the smartest fella around me at the time.

gotta luv the Blackhoods

More pictures of the wheelhorse

Thanks for the manuals. Pretty sure I got the recoil fixed🤞
