The C81 I picked up last summer had a common crack issue on one sideat the back end of the Hoodstand where the Z shaped rear fenderpan and seat hinges bolt on. So didn't my parts donor tractor, but on the opposite side.... Looking down on the Hoodstand it is a 3 piece spot welded construction shaped like the letter "H". The solution was to split the left panel welds and do a mix-n-match of the better parts, reinforce those corners, and reassemble with pop rivets. I used 1/8" x 1-1/2" angle iron cut to shape and drilled for four plug welds each. This was easy to do with it split apart.... almost impossible to do together... I used the original hole for a nut & bolt and 2 pair of locking pliers for the fixturing.

Me and rhubarb have never seen π to π.

March 14, 1900 US currency goes on the gold standard after Congress passes the Currency Act, on April 20, 1933 the gold standard ended. Gold was valued at $ 20.67 an ounce in 1900 and remained at that price until the gold standard was revalued. In 1934 it went to $39.00 and stayed there until 1971 when the gold standard ended.

I dunno Ed Dog but I'll try anything once but me thinks yer clan might be hitting the elixir a little hard... Oooo forgot about the pecan Bob favorite of dad's but he liked cherry too with a smidge of ice cream ... Hey Sylvia in WI we have apple pi with a big slice of cheddar on it...

Bring them on, you left out Rhubarb Pie. I'll have a slice of each.

Pumpkin with whipped cream for this kid thank you ...

I made one with a clamp on the motion control rod and a pedal from a 269H along with a couple springs to get it to return on its own. Not pretty but it works really well. Its probably been close to a decade but it still goes fine.

I dunno Ed Dog but I'll try anything once but me thinks yer clan might be hitting the elixir a little hard... Trust me Jimbo...you won't just try oyster pie one time. Can't have the clan dinner without some vino.

FYI @BrianKoch most of those parts mentioned above that may be worn are available from K & B horse parts.

Enjoy!!

We take our gas dryer down off the pedestal it shares with the washer once a year to remove the back, front & drum to give it and the vent hose a through cleaning. It is a PITA to grab it from the rear, so I added a pair of Garage Door Handles. Truss head screws, Thick fender washers & nylock nuts. Much better...

But with strawberries right Sqounky??? where's that ice cream!

All this talk of pi, and nobody mentioned mince pi.

Golden Pi Day...

It's oyster pie for me. Oyster Pie - non tractor related discussion - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum

I do like anti size idea I have used many times on different parts of the tractor like axel hubs and unfortunately enough to take a steering wheel off without having a 20 ton press I’m a head of the game there so that’s why I use it. Ohh also the front axel shaft or pin.

Everything is take apart with the right tool ...

I always replace that zerk with a set screw after greasing.

Take a look at what Rockauto.com may have to offer. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/renault,1980,lecar,1.4l+l4,1264474,electrical,starter+motor,4152

The lift arm hits that zerk. Some of the later model Wheel Horse had a hole drill in the lift rod for a waher and clip pin to keep it away,

Picked it up this morning. Only 40min away. Needs some stuff to get going but everything is there, parts just in a couple boxes. Between this & the free Raider 12 I got in December I should be able to make a 1 decent tractor.

Instead of checking the voltage at the battery with the regulator disconnected, check it at the regulator Leave the cap off the regulator, are the points closing after it starts?

Strawberry Rhubarb from the Mennonite store down the street. Chilled and with a scoop of Vanilla! @Jrblanke caught wind of this thread and as late longtime Indy 500 track announcer Tom Carnegie would say: " HHHEEEEE'SSSSS ON IT!!!!"

Have you tried Zook's Market in Paradise? I was up there before Thanksgiving and they some. Real meat in the mix.

Now this is why I like doing business with the small potatoes. Guy has got Clinton parts and I needed a head gasket. Was 10 bucks + 1.90. None of this more for shipping than part BS. Sure he don't take plastic so gotta send a check but still. Worse part is I had to call the guy and he sure liked to talk. Looked up part numbers on his microfish!

Well spring ain't here yet... still yarded up in my back yard.

I guess I got spoiled eating Grandma's pies with her homemade bourbon mince meat. I can't find good mince meat today.

Any pie will do for me. However, if I had my druthers, it would be in the following order: 1 - Apple 2 - Pumpkin 3 - Blueberry 3.14 - Pecan 4. Lemon meringue

I'll go with the 1/4 -28 crowd and a 5/16 wrench if there is anything left to bite on. If not a easy out and it should come out fairly easy with the grease being there. They are usually not that tight.

Supper was home scratch made Chicken Alfredo. The "noodle" was spiraled fresh zucchini. Fresh grated parmesian cheese. Mushrooms and tomatoes. Low carb. Keto friendly and Paleo friendly. DELICIOUS.

Good luck. Renault is notorious for being difficult to track down parts. Any #'s on the original? These folks may be of some help. Continental is the 2nd worse at identifying parts with Renault at #1. When I was in the parts business we didn't have the internets like we have today. It was just starting out . http://www.continentalengineparts.net/ https://www.continentalengines.com/

I think your problem is in the metal slide that rides back snd forth! I have had this problem before! The oblong holes in the metal slide bar become wallowed out! You need a new or better used bar. I bought mine new from Toro as i had a good deck i wanted to preserve. That was about 8 years ago and i am still using that 48 inch deck with no belt issues! Replace the nylon busing also if they are worn! The lower hole in your photo shows a knotch that is a worn spot !

Found this on fake book market place. Listed about 1.5 hrs from home so thought I would call about it. Really didn’t t need another but ya know how it is. Talked to owner and low and behold he was heading to my town. Asked if he would just bring to the house and drop it off. You cant beat that with a stick. Another 520H, this is a 91 best I can tell runs great and has almost new 10.50 BKT ags on back. I may have lost my internet privileges for a while though, but I can live with that, for a day or two anyway.

Looks like that's the only thing the previous owner did lube..

Most likely 1/4-28 fine thread - maybe 1/8 NPT. You can try using an Easy-out to extract the broken piece.

I try to plan a "head" and when I order a gasket I get new grade 8 flange head bolts if I don't already have them in stock in the parts dept. A little Rotella on the threads. I look at the bolt heads. See how crusty they look. Most have been in there 50-60 years. I know they aren't torque to yield bolts but It is time. Especially the bolts around the exhaust valves. Cheap insurance.

Only EVER just lightly oil the THREADS.. (not the heads or washers) anti seize compound while it might seem a good idea will severely throw off your torque readings and allow you to overtorque the bolts leading to head warp and gasket failure.

Great idea.

Those Jade bolts might be a little rough on your head.

It's easy to quit tractoring. I've done it a thousand times.

I do believe that is it, but I found it on Fake Book Marketplace. Jim, come by anytime. I will even let you drive it around yard multiple times in a semi circle with mule drive engaged and deck down. .

Just remember (and tell anyone who asks) that you can quit anytime. Just when you get ready.

Paul: I have a couple that I am going to sell. You can come and look at them. I will be home Saturday afternoon. Currently have six here.

Hi Gentlemen, yesterday with the mild weather Karl Lyon and I removed and replaced the broken lift arm assembly on my beast GT14. We had to totally remove the left side plate to accomplish this as there is just not enough space to get the unit out between the bottom or top frame rails. This was quite the job and it took time to make sure we didn't mess anything up or break anything biggest issue was the removal of the transmission ball activator and of course the putting this back in...... but we prevailed! Massive shout-out to Karl Lyon and Kevin (pull start) who supplied the replacement unit. Thank you both as well as all the great response from fellow Wheelers. THANK YOU ALL!

Today, in this preview of spring/summer which was an uncommonly warm 70 degree day. I got the 308, 312 and C-141 out, wiped the dust off, and went for a short spin on the C-141. I also did some cleaning out, raking crushed rock out of the lawn, and organizing tractor parts. Now to wait for another week and a half roughly until spring is official. Tomorrow, it’s supposed to be rain and 30 degrees cooler.

As most of you know, I spent my youth in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Pa. and had no knowledge of seafood or Dutch cuisine until I met my wife in SC Pa in 1961. It did not take me long to develop a love of my wife's Grandmothers Dutch shoo fly pie, hog maw, hard shell crabs, oyster stuffing, and oyster pie. Grandma Smith's Oyster pie she used cast ion skillets and home made crusts....we cheat and use 9" pyrex dishes and Pillsbury rolled pie crusts all ingredients are layered in......not mixed 1. bottom crust 2. 1/4" thick layer of crushed saltines 3. 2 cups pre cooked thinly sliced potatoes 4. 1 1/2 pints of select oysters and juice if you shuck your own, this = about 25 select or 35 standard size oysters select size is prefered 5. 4 hard boiled chopped eggs 6. 1/2 stick of thinly sliced butter 7. sprinkle with celery salt 8. top crust crimp edge and vent 9. bake for 10 minutes at 400 then lower heat to 375 and bake till crust is golden brown.....about 30 minutes. 10. let stand for 10 minutes, then slice and serve add sea salt and pepper to taste. caution ….taste first as some oysters are naturally salty three pies serves 10 of us, but we luv oyster pie and everyone comes hungry We normally serve with steamed green beans and a sugar/vinegar cole slaw. And Chris, no crab meat that's crushed saltines you see... crab awww now.that's another day and meal. I luv shell oysters and can usually buy them for $50 a 1/2 bushel. I like to micro wave a 1/2 doz for 15 seconds to make them release for easier shucking, then slurp them down To make the pies, I like to buy shucked sorted select size oysters. These are currently selling for $55-$60 a half gallon. ENJOY
