September 11th...

Hmmm.... makes ya wonder how early left over toothpaste was stored??

Never forget.

I remember where I was and the feeling of dismay that such an attack could happen in the land of the free. I will spare you the details of the long day that followed at work but it is etched in my memory. The magnitude of this single coordinated attack on the United States of America makes it stand out but if we are not paying attention to the quantitative impact of the crime, creeping socialism, deteriorating morals, and injustice that is so pervasive throughout our society we are experiencing another 9-11 attack every month, it is just spread out over the entire country. We have an election coming up in a few weeks. I hope everyone will get to know the candidates and choose wisely. Local school board members are the key to our future as a free society, get to know their views on a variety of subjects. Local justice officials are also a key component of protecting our freedom. Get to know their stance on dealing with crime.

Made another set of tie rods and mounted them on th ol 1257 (Vince). With the thrust bearings under the spindles, new tie rods and the larger steering wheel its like having power steering .

Amen

September 11, 1841, John Goffe Rand, an American portrait painter, receives a patent for the first collapsible tin paint tube. Up until then, artists had to mix their own oil paints and store whatever was left over in animal bladders.

I was thinkin preparation H ...

Is this sort of what you had in mind?

there fixed it

Welcome! Got a model number for the plow? That would allow you to search in the Manuals - Implements section for the Exploded diagram & parts list. Is it a simple 1/2" diameter steel rod with a 90 degree bend at each end?? If so many of us (myself included) make a better version using a straight piece of 1/2" round stock and thread the ends 1/2-20 for a pair of Heim Joints. MUCH smoother feel, no slop.

Have you seen his parts "inventory"? Easy to find? Well... just past Colleen, take a left, under the stock car and over the...

Make sure the governor arm is not loose on the shaft you should adjust the governor per the manual.

Masking removed and tires aired to 12 PSI.

Doing an @peter lena oil soak in the hot sun and greased up the bearings.

Wheels ready to be primed. Wheels primed. Wheels painted with silver aluminum paint. Hoodstand ready to be primed. Hoodstand primed. Hoodstand painted.

I think you should buy a second one for mowing and yard cart duties. 😉

You gave her a log splitter, what more could a girl ask for.

PA Folks, let's get some horses at the Nittany Antique Machinery show this year! There is usually only a handful of horses there and they belong to me! This years feature is IH so show out and bring a different kind of red! Dry camping is available on site on a first come first served basis. See the link for more details. https://www.nittanyantique.org/

857 A day early but if I don’t do now I will forget by tomorrow.

my eyes my eyes....................................

I walk around with my head towards the ground in the back barn… it’s like a magic parts shed most times. We had a different project lined up with a K1500, and we planned on a 5 speed swap. We have the flywheel, clutch, pedal assembly, driveshaft, crossmember, all that. But it was for a K1500. The bolt up stuff underneath is one thing. The under dash stuff is another.

Good news, the mechanical stuff can be fixed.

It should treat you fine. I have a neighbor who is a cub guy. Has a 1050 and a 1650. Both need major work. I've tried to get him to take one of my Wheel Horse's, but the Cubs are easier for him to get on and off of.

Welcome Charger Chris. I hope you enjoy the site. This is a one stop shop for all you need to know about these tractors. Manuals will keep you busy for a very long time. When you can, become a supporter. You can post endless pictures and it is only $20 a year..

Thank you Bill. Finally, dedicated tractors. The only solution.

She's a very gentle filly... knows how to get her rider home safely and never ever bucks them off... even if they have a few too many Capt'ns under their belt... Or... so I've heard... from reliable sources...

Logs..... I guess ????

I doubt it LR is #5546. The lift handle is separate and bolted to lift shaft.

Killing time to go to the last tractor show so finished up a Onan I got from @Blasterdad at Pullstart's plow day. Should have left the heat shield off 'till after retorque heads run. I have high hopes for this being a decent shelf motor for the 520s. Hope you like the color changes. Just something different.

When we moved a few years ago & significantly downsized. Had a 4 bedroom 3700sq/ft ranch w/full basement. Now in a 1000sq/ft ranch on a slab- no regrets! I promised her since we really dont have room for her hobbies/crafts etc that I'd have a she shed built. Great decision. Ran electric & is insulated w/heat so she can use it all year.

Show hasn't happened yet, how can i post pics? lol

My 64 Lawn Ranger..

Also, be sure the throttle cable clamp is keeping the cable jacket secured.

This is the blade sold back in 1984 for your tractor but any blade from 1973-2012 for the long frame tractors is basically the same so you could have one of many.

Took the 1257 (Vince) out for a drive in the wilderness today, after replacing tie rods with some homegrown tie rods.

@cafoose what did you use for oil , lubrication ? did you prop it up to the sun ? the more direct sun time the better . glad you are trying something , pete

Would be hard for me to swap the 16 out for the 12, they are both great engines but there is just sumin about them 16's, torquey if that's a word. Understand though if someone wants to keep there mochine original as possible. The 12's is a lot more fuel friendly than the 16's.

Sounds like a Park Pawl bit the dust. Toss the slush box and flip a stick in there!

I got a bad feeling ... now I'm gonna get a DWI on Sylvia's A-60 ...

I plan on using atv tires to plow snow as I’ve done in the past and had great luck with

That's a good question. I left the PC-7 to dry overnight. I feel like doing bodywork with Bondo, if you caught it earlier, it would sand faster. I used 80 grit on a DA sander to somewhat shape it first. Then I used 180 grit not staying in one place too long. The hard part was the area where there was no bakelite at all. It was built up so thick that it took a lot of hand sanding. Now, about 2 small places on the bottom and one low spot I still need to put some more PC-7 on. This will be hand sanded since it won't be so thick. Then, adhesion promoter and flexible primer and I'll spray on the Rust Oleum truck bed liner. Dave

Here is a link to a thread that should be helpful, just click on the title in the shaded section and it will open.

We're waiting for them
