Day early but if I don't post it now I will forget to tomorrow. Added a Brinly hitch to Vince the 1257 and. Put the turning plow on.

August 26, 1959 British Motor Corporation introduces the Morris Mini-Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis; it is only 10 feet long yet seats four passengers.

The way she came into this world, it is a great example for us all, that we are what we make of ourselves not how we start. All things can be accomplished through love and Jesus. Bob

Tomorrow, I'll see if I can get some pictures that show the massive scale of the event. Garden tractors are only a small segment. Acres and acres of swap meet vendors, antique tractors, hit and miss engines, food vendors, consignment barn...

Every married man should forget his mistakes, there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

A little off topic, but I started this thread anyway

Added some liquid ballast and installed some new front wheel bearings on “Vince” the 1257. Installed some thrust bearings on front spindles also. Did improve ease of steering.

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/

Smoke em if you got em.

Impressive. I'll take 2 of those please!

I've always wanted to show a before and after comparison with Penetrol. So I gave Dusty the B-80 the business. Before: After:

You know that if you drop a socket, it will roll to the exact geographic center of the vehicle you're working on. It's physics.

My 1/4 drive sockets have been on the below pictured cheap 💩 chrome rails for yyeeeaarrs. I've thought about getting actual big boy holders pretty much that whole time. Today I got these nifty blue magnetic holders. MUCH better. No more falling rolling sockets.

Picked up this Bass Pro brand meat grinder at the local Goodwill $14.99. Goodwill is usually hung on things like this, but this one has some rust where meat was left on it. Easy clean up. Bought a roast and hand some deer backstrap. We made 8 lbs of 50/50 chile meat to test it while it was still in the 8 day return window. I’ve previously used the meat grinder attachment on my wife’s Kitchen Aid mixer. Grinding 40+ lbs of venison a year may have been over doing it a little

We will be there Satuday, plaing on bring atleat one for the day!

RIP Dolly, you were more than a star…

What did the baby corn say to the mama corn? Where's popcorn?

join the queue!

One question: Where's the 10 mm?

I started the remodel of our new ALiner Scout pop up camper today. Got to make sleeping quarters for the dog. The plan is to convert the cupboard under the sink into a crate for the dog. This will involve removing the sink, plumbing, and refrigerator, and rebuilding it into a dog crate. Basically, I will end up building a new front panel for the cupboard and give the inside of the cupboard a more complete finish. In all of the camping vehicles we have had over the years, we have never cooked inside any of them. We don't plan to start now. Demolition is done. Now we will start gathering materials to put it back together. Pictures to follow. Of course, this project produces another project. The refrigerator that came out of the ALiner is a 12 volt compressor type. We will reinstall that in our Coleman travel trailer in place of the 3 way refrigerator that is there. We have very unimpressed with the performance of that refrigerator. This will require cabinet work, propane piping work, and electrical work.

This company has permits to obtain water from a hydrant. It was 10,000 gallons of fresh never been peed in water. @SylvanLakeWH

A day late but anyway 2. 520H’s and the C160-8.

@Shynon

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

The tree guys were highly impressed. My cart is rated up to 700 lbs and we got close on a couple of loads but the 854 seemed to be asking “Is that all? Let’s use 3rd gear!”

Have a Great Day Tom

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

The wiring is almost done

I can fix that .

I use it and it stays tacky for a couple days but dries completely and seems to last. I've been tempted to wax over it to see what that does but haven't yet.

I did the hood of the B-80 a couple weeks ago just to see how it would go. Smeared it in evenly with a rag, let it set a while and rubbed off the excess. It’s not as shiny looking as yours looks in the pics, but made a huge improvement Now I gotta do a complete cleaning and treatment. It’s good stuff! No more dust catching oilings for me.

Previously my tractor was identified as 87-89. Apparently there was a different engine in 1987 than 88-89.... 1987 Wheel Horse model: 31-14K802 Engine: Kohler M14S-601524 Factory charging system: 3-amp dual-output, unregulated No conventional 15-amp voltage regulator. Factory headlights are powered directly from the engine's AC stator circuit and normally work only while the engine is running. 1988 Wheel Horse model: 31-14K803 Engine: Kohler M14S-601540 15-amp regulated charging system 1989 Wheel Horse model: 31-14K804 Engine: Kohler M14S-601540 15-amp regulated charging system If you guys can't identify the engine exactly from the pictures, then maybe we can do it by looking for the regulated charging system. Thanks

With new gold plated replacement tires that you smoked off the rims

I envision a ring toss game at the "Tailgate of Knowledge" next year.

No manual. It's simply a 2 wire connection. 12v DC. I used a DPDT momentary center off switch to flip the polarity for the in/out. It shuts off automatically when it reaches full extension or retraction. The switch is housed in a pvc box with a cord that plugs into a power port I installed. Switchbox is headed in place with a magnet. Flexibility. The blower will likely go on Dino. I much prefer the manual PTO vs electric.

Got the stiffner on this weekend, next up trailing wheel. That'll have to wait till after Pioneer Power Show in Lesueur.

I’m using an engine tach. The blue one on the top let side of the dash. It’s a little slow at times but it also counts the hours as well. I have not use a lazer tach at work yet to see the pulley speed or anything like that.

Carb overhaul then mixture settings. Governor setting and mechanism check.

I do like it. I used it yesterday and it seemed to work well. And I love that I can trim close on both sides, especially because my yard is many small areas and it would be harder to turn around all the time.

My own thoughts... keep it KOHLER powered. Adjust that one with a shorter belt maybe? Definitely insulate those S/G terminal ends from the gas tank spring. That's a serious problem.

This view smacked me in the face wheeling the creeper out from an oil change in the driveway. Not a horrible rear end view.

Commando has new shoes put on today have been working on the motor when I have time to

Not a directly behind pic but close enough for guberment work.
