I use small bolts ,lock washers, and nuts....cause I have tons ofem.

Perfect for mounting predator motors to C series tractors... exact height needed for the belt guard...

Set a camera up on the cat food what to see was eating it and got this ... Well the nice thing about trail cameras is this horse pic ... Moved the trail cam to the asparagus patch to see if deer were eating that ... It was what they call a bluebird day.

Sad day... Had to put our lab Denali down today... the cancer caught up with him this afternoon. Labored to breath, seizures, etc. He was a great dog. RIP buddy...

May 7, 1998, the German automobile company Daimler-Benz—maker of the world-famous luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz—announces a $36 billion merger with the United States-based Chrysler Corporation. The purchase of Chrysler, America’s third-largest car company, by the Stuttgart-based Daimler-Benz marked the biggest acquisition by a foreign buyer of any U.S. company in history.

I agree... I mill off the heads of the rivets and drive the body of the rivets out. Replace the sealed bearing with a new one. Buff the halves on a wire wheel before assembly. I use #5-40 Button head screws - 1/4" or 5/15" long with a dab of blue Loctite on the threads and then the hexnut. This way, they are easily rebuildable later on instead of riveting. a light coat of Rusty metal Primer and a spritz of red - better than new...

Pretty darn nice.

Needs a good bit of attention elsewhere, to be expected being a '73 with no records and not much known about its history. Someone has been pumping grease into it but the fuel pump leaks, most of the wiring is original, I can't tell yet if the head has ever been pulled and doubt that the valves are in adjustment by the way it runs...stuff to do I'd like to pull the balance gears but I've got other priorities and no tasks in mind for this one. We'll see how things shake out, it might be worth a couple hours to go ahead and do that while I'm this far in.

Picked up a new (to me) WH hauler today! They sure are proud that it is made in MI!

I was considering not hauling my rather large toyhauler and get 8-10 mpg but what the hell we only live once. If it means having to sell a few parts to make up the extra few bucks in fuel so be it. I am probably going to haul it down a few days early and stay at a campground in Gettysburg area and do the battlefield tours.

Some work on new steel box for WH trailer (dump trailer). Undercarriage needed some work,but that is the base for new "dump box" , aside original platform for hauling wood (2 in 1). Materials: old 2 wheel wheelbarrow, old bed frame, scrap metal and some new metal pieces. Fit for wooden pallet 120x80 cm. My original modified patform for hauling wood, hay, grass,branches etc

@peter lena pete trying to get side shields off started this hole thing ,buggerd up shield, bearng was good, not any more. @razorback I'm going to bearing distributors, called and they have them. So when I get some information I'll let you know. @ri702bill I'll see if I can get some 5-40 button head screws .

@gt14rider regular reference to this bearing issue , personally always go for the WIDE RUBBER SIDE SHIELDS , thats what you want ? unknown grease in there , small flat pocket screwdriver or small flat putty knife , easy removed with no damage at all , pop off both sides , Walmart , lucas x-tra heavy duty green chassis grease , wipe out all original grease , carb cleaner aerosol , flushing , hand pack bearing , reinstall seals , lube is 550 deg flash point , also polyurea rated , so it stays with the issue , done this in every related , pto driven bearing , guess what ? NO WHYINING BEARING NOISE , or related failures , @Razorback , personally love repetitive failures , track it down and kill it , make a change . mule drive bearings also re lubed , no belt squealing , just easy smooth wind up , that pto lever start up area is a GOLD MINE , for operational delight , heim joint end swivel , pete

https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-4586G/Parking-and-Traffic-Signs/U-Channel-Post-for-Parking-Signs-10-ft-Green?pr , regularly make up improvements based on failure , this type of multi ton make up , often galvanised , bonis , is a great fill in or remake on original , picked up my first at town dump maintenance shop , just snoopin around , they also gave it to me , absolutely bomb proof . there are also related brackets at local , H/D LOWES , ETC . paint it red , black , it disappears . this only a suggestion / opportunity , for a project . pete

One could also use square bar tubing. My seats are mounted this way. I need extra distance backward.

Comparing 1967 to 2026 USA average gasoline price and USA average income, both increased just over 13 times. It's all relative folks.

Just wondering if a piece of fuel line could be split and put around the opening?

Steve well said . Have to try to keep the torch going , and if guys back out because of fuel unfortunately there will eventually be no show . I will be heading down Wednesday morning despite the diesel fuel costs .

Got your PM. I'll answer later today and see what I can do to help out.

Usually to send a message to someone you have to have at least one approved post so since you made this post you should be allowed to message him now. Also, to Edit: @nylyon has faster fingers than me

HOLY CRAP Mr. U Haul!!!!! I didn't think ya had the stones! He'd show up at plow days with a rented U haul ... claimed it was sensible... No place to store a trailer. Glad to see you got your big girl panties on guy!

gotta luv the Blackhoods

Thanks for the manuals. Pretty sure I got the recoil fixed🤞

Welcome! Consider doing just what CCW did - the axle sees enough loading as is. Better to mount to the frame... or... if it is for temporary use, How about an adapter to go into a front receiver hitch? I used an old rusty Mule Drive & a HFT ATV receiver. Still allows the hood to open normally.

Mike Prodzinski in Minnesota has been rebuilding these #1623 pulleys for several years. I had him redo several of mine. Years ago i bought a bucket of them at ghe Big Show - about 1:3 were still useable. Maybe he can give you some pointers on the rebuild!

Hmmmmm….. that’s a good question. I think I would go the solid route to possibly be the strongest? Also, you mentioned the bearings. Can you post the details for the bearing for future reference?

I saw him run at a local dirt track near Mendota, Illinois. I think he was running in a modified class. His car was in the same livery as his NASCAR car. He didn't win. A couple of the local hot shoes had their cars dialed in to the track better. I think he took third. There were a few other cars in the field that could keep up with him, but nobody could pass him - he knew how to make his car take up the whole width of the track.

Garbage in = garbage out was the computer norm. Add AI to the picture where it selects the more prominent information regardless of its validity and it becomes Garbage in = Gospel out. Special interests have always been able to make multiple internet entries promoting their point of view and thereby suppressing any alternate information, truthful or not. If you took the time and scrolled through enough PR garbage you could find what they were hiding. AI seems to doing the same but totally discounting alternative information. OK, now I will get back down off my soap box and get back to Wheel Horse talk.

Yep a Fairbanks ... I had one that just gave me fits too. Yours even has the original handle. Yep been feeding her the barn cat food the cats won't eat. Goes to show how much corn is in it.

You will find what you need on this site.

It's tough. I've lost 5 pets to cancer. It leaves a void.

Spec # is Series 2 Higher than 24300 Gray color indicates service motor

856, 867 and possibly a 1045

I had the arm that the cam plate moves loosen on the control shaft once. Set screw came loose. Could be all it is.

I got that 123 15 yrs ago or more, mainly because it came with a tiller and a mower deck. Truth be told, as much as I LOVE the C160 overall, the 123 is my favorite tilling machine. Between the hydro and the tiller itself, it does the best tilling job. But the C160 is a VERY close 2nd. (I agree with your “green” sentiments.)

I attempted to watch the entire video, however I was unable and turned it off after several minutes and many, many inaccuracies. AI has its appropriate place in today's world but not in every application. I remember being told the best working analytic system is the human brain, let's not lose that ability.

My daughter asked me once why I talk to myself so much. I told her my grandpaw always said only take advice from the smarter folks... so I talk to the smartest fella around me at the time.

Yes it is.

Even some of the Youtubers who seem to be attempting to produce factual, helpful videos seem to screw it up by not attending to detail. AI seems to be inproving slowly but the AI offerings for my needs a few days ago were poor at best. As an example I bought a couple of new remotes for our garage door opener. The instructions for the opener had been lost long ago and the ones that came with the remotes were not working out for us. I watched a video from Chamberlin, the door opener manufacturer and four Youtube videos before I found one that actually succeeded in programing the remotes.

Couple of names surfaced immediately for being flamboyant related to Wheel Horse, @Wild Bill in VA and @Pullstart.

Was watching it with the sound off and thought it was a pretty cool slide show. The old lady went in the bathroom and I had to turn the sound way up. That ruined it.

Yes, I will do that, just I had some fun with driving in circles yesterday

I went this route. Kawasaki fuel pump. Homemade mounting plate.

At this point I’m looking for any excuse to get seat time lol. Doesn’t matter how small a task I’m busting out one if not both tractors.

Sorry, could not see anything with the new purchase under my tonneau cover. It's always been my belief that if I have to borrow a tool more than twice, this means that I need to own the tool. Well, I've relied on generous friends for this tool many times. Today I found one in my price range so I could not pass it up. Not high end, but it will make a good hobby level tool for me. With out further ado, here is a couple pics of todays score. It is used but in fair shape, and there will be some tooling to purchase but I am happy with my new tool and the price I gave for it. Can't wait to turn out some parts out on this baby.

T r _ u m p h... how @Pullstartspells "shop cleaning "... Kevin - take off the "H" and call it "Trump"!
