That’s the rule here. Gotta be able to stop if you wanna go (and there is a driving test you must pass). To that end, though, I’ve put seat sliders on two of our tractors, each with ~5” of travel, which lets the “small” and the “tall” both be comfy and safe!

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.

Thanks I have a set of the V61's on this 520 and a C160 and tri ribs on just about everything else. I like the looks and the way they perform.

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.

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

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.

My understanding is: The balance gears were engineered back in the 60s to quell vibrations at upper end RPMs. On the engine I personally removed the gears from, the vibration above 3400 RPM is too much for the BATTERY. I just kept the top at 3300. Yes - I do understand that the Sundstrand is rated for 3600. It doesn't mow, snow blow, or run any other implements, and I don't tax/work/stress the engine much by plowing snow. My experience and research shows me that the way I'm operating this machine is just fine. Modify YOUR machine at YOUR discretion. ALL of mine will be gear deleted.

I had an initial kabang, followed by at least 4 more. Weird.

I have a lot of different treads but no ribs...yet. Love the look.

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!

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

Well, that answers that.

There is nothing in those pulleys that has a high level of accuracy. Just a stamping with a bearing in the middle. I did the drill and bolt thing, just to time consuming. Now I take a grinder with a cut wheel and cut 6 slots. I started out using a chisel to bend the tabs but use the press to just push through the tabs. Pop in the new bearing and bend the tabs over. I have done at least a dozen with no problems. Just another option from an old bush mechanic.
