Just took my seat on the plane..how come nobody wants to ask about my shirt OR talk tractors .

It appears that you are boxed in, is that to keep you away from normal folks?

Those guys are full of it ... best way to put them on is order two sets. Take the first set and crumble them up and toss them. Take the second set and give them to @Achto and pay him to be your friend and he'll put them on ...

Needed to remove an old pool sand filter today and this was the logical scenario I could think of to get it moved around.

I replace the tube on my 520-H when I got it. Cables cost too much to try and used a rusted tube, Lee1977

In accordance with Redsquare rules, gonna need pictures...!!!

Probably the fuse as Mike suggested. If not, here is a step by step method of finding the faulty part without wasting money on parts you don't need. Why won’t my starter turn over from the key switch?\ Lets take a logical step by step inspection of your starter problem. Is your PTO in the ON position, a wheel horse will not start with the PTO on. Have you had the battery load tested at an auto parts store? Have you cleaned and tightened all electrical connections including grounds? Are all fuses good and fuse holders cleaned? If these have all been done, we can check components of the starting system as follows; don’t skip a step or you may miss the problem. Be sure the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is set. Take a pair of automotive jumper cables and connect the black cable to your battery "-" and a good clean spot on the engine. Now connect the other cable to the large post on the starter and touch the other end to the battery "+" terminal, does the starter turn over? If the starter turns over the battery and starter are good. If it didn't turn over try the same steps with the battery in your car/truck, if that cures the problem then the "good" battery wasn't so good. Presuming the starter turned over move the jumper wire from the starter post to the other end of the wire going to the starter which is one of the large posts on the solenoid. If the starter turns over when the battery is touched by the jumper as before then that cable is good, if not you have found your problem. Presuming the starter turned over move that jumper to the other terminal of the solenoid, connect the other end to the battery and use a small piece of wire to temporarily connect the battery "+" terminal to the small terminal on the solenoid, this should cause the solenoid to close and the starter to turn over. If not, the solenoid is probably the problem. If this was successful remove the large jumper cable and use the small jumper wire to the small terminal of the solenoid, the solenoid should close and the starter turn over. If not the cable to the battery is the problem. Presuming all of these have been successful remove the black jumper wire and repeat the small jumper to small terminal, if the starter turns over the ground is good. If all of these components test good then remove your ignition switch, be sure the transmission is in neutral, parking brake on, clutch depressed and PTO off. Use a small jumper to connect the terminals that were connected to the “B” and “S” terminals of the ignition switch. If the starter turns over then the PTO switch and other safety switches are operating properly and your ignition switch may be bad.

A C145 I had had a fuse buried in the harness between the ammeter and battery. If yours had one it may have blown.

While you have the seat pan off temporarily plug that threaded hole (that goes into the transmission and give that Eaton transmission a good cleaning. It helps them dissipate heat which helps extend their life. Also give the area where the transmission control linkage on top a good gentle cleaning.

Don't know if you know this guy but those wheel weights alone are dang near worth the price. Nice to see you got the to change out fluids...

Naww he got it all wrong Plunge... it's I ain't never seen a armored truck following a Hearst...

I could be wrong, but I think the bolt hole in the picture goes right through into the transmission? If so it’s imperative that you do not get any dirt, grim or anything in that hole.

DO NOT try to put them on without soapy water or using @JCM’s recommendations. A credit card works good to squeeze out the air bubbles and excess soapy water. Putting them on wet allows you to move the decal around to the exact spot you want it.

May 5, 1978, area residents line up outside a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, for the grand opening of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade. Opened by childhood friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the store sells soups, crêpes and pottery, but it is their homemade ice cream, made with locally sourced cream and butterfat and flavorful chunks of nuts, cookies, fruit and candy, that become the main attraction.

No... but a U-Haul, now that's a bit more common...

Blast first. Ask questions later!

The bolts on top of the transmission should never be removed till after a thorough cleaning, and then brush away debris as bolts are removed. Wheel Horse suggests removing a bolt to aid filling the transmission but I always thought that they were asking for trouble.

That's exactly what I kept telling myself (among other things ) as I was on my hands and knees looking fer that little spring.

Work smart not hard Chris!

Right !

That is my motto a lot. If it's already broke, what have you got to lose ? If you fix it, fine, if not it was broken anyways.

Yes I will be tring it fer sure. I love taking things apart I can't wreck...

Is it just me, or does something look amiss here?

If they're going over a fresh paint job, it's important to sand any dust nibs out of the paint with some fine wet-sand paper (like 1000 grit). I applied my neighbor's decals dry, but I have 50 years of bodywork experience. If you're not sure, use the soapy water (just a little soap in a spray bottle of water) technique with a squeegee (use a squeegee wet or dry). Also helps if you keep your fingers wet when handling the decal. I've installed my share of Trans Am chickens! A clean smooth surface is the #1 priority.

Here we go... Engine Kohler Carburetor reference #TP-2377-E.pdf - Kohler - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum

Viking Valhalla doesn’t close until 9:30!? (Former LeRoyan and ND graduate here)

Hmmm A fuse, 4F powder and seal the end with JB Weld. There she blows.

Spray the CLEAN surface liberally with Non - Ammonia Windex . apply the decal and remove all the air bubbles from between surface and decal.

All good suggestions... If all else fails, we may have to blast!!....

Saw this on another forum "How To" He was proud of his new replacement hood from Home Cheapo. There hasn't been a "Caption This" in a while, so I figured ya'll would have some fun with it.

Just changed the oil yummmmmy

"someone finally got it right" I bet the JD guys are cringing!

Certainly seems fitting for the trash under the hood

Actually pretty slick job... Now, as for caption: If he'd use the 96 gallon hood, it would simply drive into its destiny...

When you're finished, please post pictures of @ebinmaine riding it... should be a good log hauler for him...

Made quite a bit of progress on the 16 auto hydro swap but I've gotten slow in my old age...hopefully it's by choice

Guess you will need to build another shed to store it.

Got the RJ out of back shed dodging all the mud in yard. Started up & running good. Now if I only can get the recoil fixed for starter. I have 2 1/2 starters but collectively cannot seem to make 1 work! I can rope start it but I want the recoil installed

The extra amount I will have to pay for fuel will be offset by the fun we can all have at the BIG SHOW compared to staying home and watching the grass grow. Being there and seeing @wallfish, @squonk, @Pullstart, @Mike'sHorseBarn, and guys like me do stupid things is well worth the drive. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!

My quad popped the chain so I put it back on, drove my tractor over to jump it and parked the tractor. I went back over an hour later and turned the key and voltage didn’t even show on the ammeter and wouldn’t engage the solenoid or anything.
