Finally unloaded this from my truck on Saturday with the help of a neighbor, then removed my plow from my 312-8 and with the help of another neighbor we got the mower deck on and I commenced the 2026 lawn mowing season. Afterwards, I relaxed looking over my efforts while listening to good music and enjoying one of two very refreshing gin and tonics!

Washed the mud off then remover the tiller from the 312H. Then installed the 48" SD. The electric hoist really makes it easy to pick a deck from the storage skid and roll it in position under the raised tractor.

When I worked 2nd shift at the hospital we were given the task of cleaning all the ceiling vents in one office. The guy with me says how we gonna do all these in one night? I told him get them all down and wait until the kitchen staff leaves. A commercial conveyor dishwashing machine works wonders!

Haha! Reminds me of when I was still living at home right around 21yrs old. My grandpa owned 2 Cadillac dealerships so of course thats what we typically all drove. I was cleaning my Coupe deVille on a weekend & spending too much time trying to clean the wire wheel hubcaps. Got creative, removed them & put them in dishwasher! Mom was suspicious cause I was running dishwasher & her suspicion was right. Let's just say she wasn't really happy & what made things worse was when my dad found out he thought it was a great idea too!

Welcome to Red Square The preferred transmission filter for all models is a Wix 51410 or Napa 1410 because it does not have a by-pass valve

Thanks! I never had a horse this new and im excited to put it to work!

That would be the part I was referring to but I talked to Brian yesterday and today and he had one so we ordered it.

About any tractor would be a looker with that much mud on it haha!

Beautiful clear day today. Ended on a high note!

Idk why, but i disengaged the belt between your legs and it moved pretty easy.

Growing up on a dairy farm we made our own butter. While visiting one of my dad's nephews I happened to be in the kitchen while his wife was blending the dye into the margarine. Never having seen margarine I told my mother they were serving colored lard instead of butter, she corrected me promptly bur everyone kept an eye on me to see if I would eat any of it. I DIDN'T.

Might suggest you get one of these guy. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/store/ Will definitely help in uploading

I hope so but tonight may get to 32, 31 degrees again!

@Handy Don got you covered on dimensions and an old Throttle cable is good to make one out of. Couple z bends and get close to the dimensions posted above and should be good to go.

On my K181 it measures 2-⅝” (2.625 inches) from outside to outside at the parts of the wire that pass through the governor arm and the throttle actuator. The wire is 5/64” (0.07812 inches) thick.

Decided to take on a little yard work today and bust out both machines. Taking my yard back one gaffucci garden at a time. Then decided to finally make a front hitch using an idea I saw on here of using an old mule drive. What a world of difference.

I did order this decal from @Vinylguy today to go on it also. I Gotta go clean sink out before warden gets home Really you have to ask. I actually got an atta boy for cleaning sink and throwing dish rag in laundry.

Cleaned Eaton 1100 fan on 520H. Its amazing what a little dish soap will do. Know I Gotta go clean sink out before warden gets home. All the chrome came off air cleaner lid so painted black and put American flag sticker on for the 250th anniversary of America. I did put everything but the hood back on and drove around the barn a couple times but forgot to take pictures. I know I know no pics didn’t happen rule applies. I believe I may get rid of foot control and go back to the column control, just cant get used to the foot control.

Good work Andy. to the

I thought the 60" required a FS axle. Hope you didn't get any lime on that 101.

Saturday I got the 416-H ready for mowing duty by installing the 60” deck and Peco vacuum system. I cut real low to vacuum up the small sticks and debris from the winter, then put the C-101 to light duty work spreading lime. Tractor and spreader are both about the same age. The spreader I picked up off an estate I was working on, it was in the basement like new!

Happy Easter Gentlemen! This morning I began the process of figuring out what is leaking on the 312A’s hydro pump. Lot of cleaning ahead of me… I also ordered a new motion control plate as this one is pretty wallowed out.

Maybe by then @ebinmaine will be done with Colossus... Nah... what am i thinking!?!?

Couple pics of the 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse and Mackissic chipper shredder at work today. The one with the tractor was the very beginning of the first pile. The one not showing the tractor is the end of the second pile. I would say a good strong 4+ hours of work today, off n on. Quite a lot of chips produced. Have to be very very careful. The interior hammers will suck in the material at extremely high speed. But the outside blade, you have to push the material into it. It's quite an extreme workout to operate this thing. This pile is about the size of the tractor. Also, Jaxon was here for a visit today. Him & BBT worked hard, and played hard.

I blew some paint on a hood I got from a member here. Original had tree damage. I will shoot the grill satin black when red is good and dry. This was a Toro black stripe hood but will become a burgundy stripe hood. I power washed and serviced the little 36 inch deck. The tractor will go to camp for summer.

First mowing this year. Used the 310-8 and Trac Vac to clean up all the winter duff. Did my lawn and all the right o ways around the farm. Then paid a visit to my neighbors green house for flowers.

Even if this was true I don't think I'd want to buy them since they would be made by Made To Die

Kind of a sunset pic. Eagleville Dam near me. Ice and snow melting has it cranking.

Looks good on this side of the pond this morning Jeff
