    At the end of summer last year my D-160 started weeping fuel like a SR-22 Black Bird sitting on the tarmac waiting for take off. Today I decided to pull the tank & see what was going on. After a good wire brushing things did not look good. Figured that I would try silver soldering the holes & low spots up. Took some time, don't look real pretty but at this point I believed that I had it sealed up. Here is a trick to check your work if you do some thing like this. Make a paste out of water & baking soda. Brush it over your work and allow it to dry. Once it is dry put some gas in the tank and allow it to sit. If you have a leak the past will show exactly where it is. It will turn yellowish where ever the gas seeps through.. My paste stayed nice & white except for 2 little spots that were stained by left over flux. These spots did not grow when I put gas in the tank so it should be ready to install again. Just wanted to share this leak detecting trick with you all.

    Got the donor frame/ hydro cleaned up this evening. It was really nasty so I just loaded it and went to the car wash.

    They are also known as grenade gears for a reason, and you don't even have to pull a pin.

    One other tip for you. Run the two nuts towards the front of the plow & lock them together. Make sure that you can spin the handle freely. This allows you to adjust the plow without tools. You may ask "Won't it get out of adjustment while plowing ?'" Answer is "No", look at how worn down the share is on the upper plow in the pic below. I have never had it move on me in all the time that I have used this plow.

    I don't have any prior knowledge or experience with this plow as I will be a first-time user. Need some help please. I brought this well used plow, which I believe is a Brinly PP-500 series as the exploded part view seems to match up with my plow. Completely disassembled the plow, removed all rust, primed, painted, (wheel horse red of course) and re-assembled with new fasteners. Having trouble with the coulter blade, as it doesn't seem to fit this plow? Please refer to the pictures below. It appears to mount only one way, but it seems too big for this plow. Do I have the right size coulter blade? What am I am doing wrong? Also is the front yoke assembly mounted correctly? Thanks

    April 27, 2009, the struggling American auto giant General Motors (GM) says it plans to discontinue production of its more than 80-year-old Pontiac brand. Pontiac’s origins date back to the Oakland Motor Car, which was founded in 1907 in Pontiac, Michigan, by Edward Murphy, a horse-drawn carriage manufacturer.

    Nice resto, now get a flap wheel out and clean the paint off that moldboard face Notice how @Achto has grease covering his plows? The paint will stick to the dirt like glue and gum up. The shiny plow will run smooth and turn the dirt. Then grease the plow again after completion of the job.

    Well, they all got some sun this weekend. One got to mow, one was on trailer moving duty, and one said, "WTH? I thought I was your favorite!"

    Also turn that hairpin cotter pin around or the dirt will push it out, or use a standard cotter pin. Your plow looks awesome by the way 👍🏻 Almost too nice to get dirty, but hey they meant to get dirty!!

    Another tip: See your first pic of the non-restored plow. See the adjustment screw? Compare the exposed threads with the restored-plow pics. That will get you in the ballpark.

    My parents have an Electric DeWalt saw that looks more like a traditional saw. It gets used a lot by them and by me. The electric stuff does come in handy.

    A little chilly but a great way to kick off the tractor show season! The usual crowd Myself, Wallfish, Retired Wrencher and Docwheelhorse. No tractors bought by any of us. I did pick up the NOS belt in a sealed bag. No idea what it’s for but brand new in the bag! No brainer for $5…good wall hanger

    Got the 1076 and the tiller running and tilled the garden. Works fine but it is quite different pulling a tiller vs pushing my front mounted tiller. Now I need to install them both on the same tractor.

    Used my 314-8 and Wheel Horse Tiller attachment at our county museum today. Two garden plot areas where tilled for the planting of prairie grasses and wildflower. I learned the split rail fence around the plots is called West Virginia Split Rail!

    Oh joy! Working with lead free solder is a whole new animal...... much safer, but requires getting used to. Lead free does not go from shiny when wet to dull when solidified - it stays dull throughout the entide process. Tougher to gauge just what stage it is...

    Always heard it was supposed to be lucky for it to rain on your wedding day. I bet the farmer was glad to see it rain for several reasons.

    Sorry, no help on the OT. We had a rig similar to this with all Coleman 17' Ram-Xs.

    After using a wire brush on a drill to get the metal super clean. I warmed the tank up & gave it a good coat of paste flux. Used a mini torch to heat the metal and used a silver bearing solder for metal work. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Harris-Products-Group-3-oz-Lead-Free-General-Metal-Solder/1000858196

    Here’s some better pictures of the stuff all you guys are interested in! Tommorow I have to finish working on my pulling tractor so maybe Tuesday we will try and start the d-200. The previous owner put an electric fuel pump on also so I will be leaving that on. And will replace the fuel lines. The other 310-8 doesn’t look to bad but also has half a tank of good fuel so we will put a battery in that and see what it does. And the giant vac we will also see if it runs! And it also came with the tubes! Enjoy the pics! I will also probably be looking for a snow plow for the d-200 and possibly a tiller. So if any of you guys have one in the CT area please let me know.

    love my Dewalt electric chainsaw and pole saw... Auto oil... really does the job.

    run it full speed until it draws a line of oil on your pants, you mean. That is better than the squeeze bottle system, though - it is all on board of the saw.

    The pass through is 3/4". I built my own stand for it and added a tool box. I'm quite happy with it so far. Just have to remember to use it with in it's limits. Best to make a lot of small cuts instead of making a few large cuts.

    Welcome!! Is it stuck in two gears at the same time?? It can happen, particurly with the early Unidrives (it was addressed in later versions). Do a search in the "Transmissions" section for that issue. It is able to be corrected but requires removing the shifter to realign the forks.

    Spent several hours clearing more brush and small trees from the area beside the house. We now have all the little stuff cleaned out from approximately 40 x 60 ish or so. Tools used were my Stihl MS180C gas chainsaw and this new super cute 6" battery powered limbing & trimming saw. Trina's latest tool buy. So far.... VERY IMPRESSIVE.

    Variable compression? It’s a 9.5/9.7:1 design. Hybrid, if you will.

    If I was a betting man, I would say it needs another carb cleaning. Its running way lean if you have to keep a half choke maneuver on it. A way lean condition will make it run way hotter than it's supposed to.

Needs: New Frame (Comes with frame) Power Steering Valve Assembly Rebuilt(have info for the rebuild kit) Engine installed(Original engine was blown up. Engine included has 200 hours on it) Engine PM This is sold as is and as seen. It’s worth the time and investment. It just needs the right, new home. Thanks

    Welcome! You need to isolate the system that is the problem. Is it fuel or spark related?? A simple inline spark checker ( or 2 when diagnosing a twin cylinder) will help identify if the problem in the spark department. Low cost & good to have... Is the fuel tank cap vent working?? Loosen the cap and try to run it. No cost to try... Is there a fine mesh screen in the shutoff? If there is, they are notorious for severely limiting fuel flow as they get older - particularly if ethanol fuel (a no-no) was used.... Download the manual to see if the OE shutoff had one. Note - IF it was ever replaced - all bets are off & the only way to tell is to replace the shutoff & bushing. Short money...

    This morning we had a visit from a sharp shinned hawk. They're closely related to, and similar in coloring to, a coopers hawk. The main difference is size. A "sharpy" is a bit larger than an average blue jay. A coopers is more in the range of a crow. The other difference is the preferred hunting areas for each. The sharpy is an open field hunter while the cooper prefers more wooded places like a loosely treed forest. We've been expanding our open space here so we see more of the birds that like those spaces. Bluebirds as well.

    Fyi I was removing my 42 inch recycling deck blades and noticed a difference between the regular 42 inch blades and ghe 42 recycling deck blades that I never paid attention too before. The recycling blade in second picture is on top and has a longer cutting edge. The regular 42 blade is on bottom and has about a two inch shorter cutting edge. Both blades would work on either mower deck from what i can tell. Anyone have any more details about this difference??
