Hello Horse fans. We've all had a chance to get something cheap enough for no reason so, why not. And people say $50 don't buy much. However, it does buy a C120 sitting for 15 years. New battery and fuel line was all it took. Will get a bath and better pictures tomorrow!

Not sure what the bracket in the first picture was for, but I used that to hold the back of the receiver. Appears plenty stout for my needs. The receiver attachment piece slips over the 1”x 1” angle on that bracket. A 1/2” x1/2” angle welded in the receiver attachment piece helps keep it from twisting or moving back into the housing. A 3/4” x 1.75” x 6” block of oak slides in the attachment piece under the 1” x 1” angle and keeps that side of the receiver from tilting up when there is a load on the towing side. Then 2 supports tied to the bottom boss on the housing taking the bulk of the load. The 2 supports also lock the block of oak in place. Takes about 3 minutes to put it on or remove it, though I doubt I’ll be removing it. Heaviest loads will be my log splitter or my 3’ x 3’ x 2.5’ tall wood cart. Already moved the wood splitter with no issues.

Early morning with the Hotsy. Big believer in Citri Blast and Cascade. I did get everything cleaned and I think it's a good candidate for a repaint. No dents or holes. Surface rust isn't bad but, I do like the wet look. LoL 🤣. Also, I did get the original rear tires with it and do hold air, no cracking. I can see myself adding more C series to the collection. Show more pictures later! Enjoy your morning Horse fans! 🌞 Apologies for the hazy photos but I had my washer set at 280°. Can't stand greasy build up!

A guy walks into a bar and says, "I'll have some H₂O." The second guy says, "I'll have some H₂O too." The second guy dies because he drank H₂O₂, hydrogen peroxide!

October 3, 1955, the first edition of in Great Britain; it quickly proves to be a hit. Now known as the Guinness World Records book, the annual publication features a wide range of feats related to humans and animals. The inspiration for the record book can be traced to November 1951, when Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery (founded in Dublin in 1759), was on a hunting trip in Ireland. After failing to shoot a golden plover, Beaver and the members of his hunting party debated whether the creature was Europe’s fastest game bird but were unable to locate a book with the answer. Thinking that patrons of Britain’s pubs would enjoy a record book which could be used to settle friendly disagreements, Beaver decided to have one produced. He hired twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter, the founders of a London-based agency that provided facts and statistics to newspapers and advertisers. The book was intended to be given away for free in pubs to promote the Guinness brand; however, it turned out to be so popular the company started selling it that fall and it became a best-seller. An American edition debuted in 1956 and was soon followed by editions in a number of other countries.

I never used the antifreeze in any of my campers. I connected a compressor to the water intake and used it to blow all the water from the system. I opened all drains, sink and shower faucets, and blocked the toilet valve open. Then after everything was drained, I closed everything and starting with the one farthest from the intake, opened the faucets and valves one at a time until I saw zero mist. I did pour a cup of antifreeze in each drain trap. Always blocked the toilet waste valve open so it never got stuck closed over the winter.

Ive made a few bumpers without the grill guard, mainly for looks but do come in handy when hauling them to tie them down. The tractors with the flip up hoods require something detachable for engine access and kinda more trouble than they are worth in my opinion. The 857 doubled as a weight bracket also but had to make it lower for the hood to flip open. I have since removed it and painted red but haven't put it back on. The 701 was just a winter time project to pass the time but I thought it suited the little tractor.

Got the 520-HC vanguard swap just about completed. Still not charging. I have a new stator coming today. Old one was only putting out 4.5 VAC. Here's the build thread: I used a Jeep muffler from amazon for the stack.

Ready to go

I did one ten years ago and it worked great and made tons of power.

Look up a bit of information on anything on a "SMART PHONE" and for the next week you get ads for that product. That is why I like my old-fashioned phone.

Do as Ed said, no pink stuff in the drinking water lines.

Only on the OUTER race, of course!

Nice! Do consider adding a lower support from the engine to the underside of the elbow area of the exhaust going to that Jeep muffler. One reason is the vibrating weight, the other is snagging any overhead obstructions.... Here is what I did on my 854 when I went to a stack glasspack exhaust.

I had some dirt to dump out back. It’s been too long since I’ve Horsed around, so I took the long way home on Steve Oh Two.

Actually, the number of banged up, bent, mangled hoods I've seen in person or on this site would indicate a strong need for bumpers for many / most tractors and their operators...

Evening, Wondering if anyone has added one of these to 856 or similar wheelhorse without significant modifications.. or perhaps a curved bumper similar to ford N series with ball on front.

My wife said I was just like artificial intelligence. ...after some reflection, I feel sure she emphasized the "artificial" part.

I often wondered if a lubricant of some type would help. Considering that everything that was caked in grease was preserved underneath. However, someone did rattle can the right fender 🤬. Definitely going to change motor oil and figure out what type of ATF is best in rear end. Also, need to locate the engine screen. Magnum plastic don't look correct and, it has the original muffler turned out.... I'm picky but it must be correct since it's there! LMAO 🤣. Thank you for the advice, I'm grabbing a gallon of WD and spray bottles

And I'm quite positive that Tic-Tok has given them pages and pages of dubious Darwin Award fodder to peruse and reject...

Would absolutely love to but when the nearest place is 40 miles away and the price of diesel??? I guess belts are not the thing to buy online no matter how good a deal. Worse part is I kinda knew this.

I love my Vanguards. Yours looks like it belongs on that HC. Well done! Might just be the video, but your valves sound like they need adjustment. Pretty common thing with Vanguards. They have to be adjusted as regular maintenance.

So I sent them these pics pretty much says it all right? Quite clear the pullies are for 4L belts right? Be interesting to see what their response will be.

Thanks Dave. I have an extra bracket. If I don't find something sooner I'll keep you in mind. If I'm correct your B-100 is a 74 or 75 and those years the B's were also a mid frame. Perfect.

Like Richard said, trailer wiring harness. I've purchased a few at Harbor Freight. The #14 wire separates easily. The colors won't all match the factory but I really never worried about that. Electricity is color blind.

Best place to source an assortment of colors is your local trailer dealer. They have a seven wire cable used on trailers with good quality wire and the price is reasonable.

Somehow, I've become the owner of a second Toro Sulky. And they say your phones don't spy on you!

This reminds me of when my wife bought a brand new tiller from Troy Built back when it was still Troy Built. They offered a free bumper! I'm thinking what good is a bumper on a tiller? Well my wife ran the tiller into the garage wall. The bumper bent and saved the recoil!

Are you planning to enter a demolition derby? If Wheel Horse didn't offer a bumper as an option, you don't need it.

I second this.

In a court this conversation is reported to have taken place: Lawyer: 'At the scene of the accident, Mr. O'Brien, did you tell the Police officer that you had never felt better in your life?' O'Brien the old farmer: 'That's right, sir.' Lawyer: 'Well then, Mr O'Brien, how is it that you are now claiming you were seriously injured when my client's car hit your cart?' O'Brien the farmer: 'When the Police Officer arrived, he went over to my horse, who had a broken leg, and shot him. Then he went over to Darcy, my dog, who was badly hurt, and shot him. When he asked me how I felt, I just thought under the circumstances, it was a wise choice of words to say I've never felt better in my life.'

None of them are suitable for a wheel horse, they are too wide and as bill already mentioned they would get in the way of opening the hood unless you mounted them a couple feet out front. You need to get off Facebook and get out there in the shop workin' on whatcha already got.

The graveside service had just ended when there was a frightening clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning accompanied by even louder thunder. The little old man looked at the pastor and said calmly, “Well, she’s there.”

Two idiots go on a fishing trip They rent all the equipment - the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune. The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their holiday, one of the men catches a fish. As they're driving home, they're really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us $1,500!" The other guy says "Wow! It's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"

I made a calculator, same as I did for the other 3 4x4 built, each one tuned for the wheel size and axle design.

That horse appreciates you saving it. Take lots of pictures as you disassemble it. Heavy Zip Lock bags work good to bag and label parts
