I just brought that 875 home a few hours ago. I even thought about going to look at the Electro as well. I'm pretty amazed that there are forum members everywhere. Not the first time I've seen posts about tractors I wanted to buy

To my knowledge, no. What does matter is that you do not want the entrance of the wire going into the condenser pointing up. The wire acts like a wick when it rains; if the seal fails the condenser shorts out from the trapped water inside.

I don't have a C-160 but I do have a C-120/180. If I subtract the 20 from the 80 does that make it a C-160.

I keep one in the drawer with my dual-purpose screwdriver.

He was released yesterday .

We call those a 50/50 job where I come from. Looks good from 50 ft or 50 MPH.

Little cleanup and.. you could hang your nanners in the kitchen???

Does buying one count?

I was thinking that a 'smartwrench' app and attachment for a smartphone might be a good idea, unless the user doesn't take criticism well. (Made today with Photoshop and help from some AI apps.)

January 17, 1984 Supreme Court rules (5-4) that private use of home VCRs to tape TV programs for later viewing does not violate federal copyright law.

I've used Rusto Regal Red and Satin Black on all my Black Hoods. I've been satisfied with the results. I like the multi spray tips - if one gets spurty or clogs, you got options... My paint jobs are best admired from a distance though...

they are asking $75 for that thing!!!! Ain't even got a hanging hole

I had to check back to see if anyone figured this out yet. I could tell yall exactly what it is ..................but I have no idea either.

All of the above comments, but I see it as an important labor-saving tool that lets you loosen or tighten two different bolts simultaneously. Get the job done in half the time and charge the full hourly rate.

My Dad had one of those! Never saw the sense of it.

Fine just don't let him see any of EB's paint jobs. We could call him skittles. I seldom wash mine either ... well except for maybe the flame and the 701. My only two trailer queens. The rest of my restos get worked and it seems if I wash them they immediately get dusty so I gave up. Now @Achto is a different story. He washes his just to load them up and take them down a dirty road in the rain. 'Course his paint jobs look good under a microscope.

Got back to the PS project. Figured out the drag link, next is the steering cylinder mount.

We're going to need a lot more information and some about this ; hopefully it runs and drives like it should.

While on one of my walks in the summer of 2024, I found this feather on the side of the trail. I used Google Lens to determine it was a Coopers Hawk feather. Never saw the bird, but did encounter two bird watchers who were looking for, and tracking the movements of that hawk. Interesting.

During the time I took a second shift job. Three necessary items to "survive" either a 2nd or 3rd shift job: A bedroom air conditioner. A VCR to tape network shows and watch them later. A telephone / answering machine located away from the bedroom. Been there, done that.

Cordless electric chainsaws are very handy. I have several gasoline-powered chainsaws: An Echo, a Poulan, a John Deere, and a pole saw attachment for my Husqvarna strimmer, but my little Milwaukee M18 chainsaw is the one I use most often now. Since we downsized to one property two years ago, we're down to 2-1/2 acres, which is mostly wooded, but I don't need the big saws as much. I've cut down 12-inch-diameter trees with the Milwaukee, and it uses the same batteries as my other Milwaukee tools. It's also very handy for limbing trees once they're down, as well as trimming firewood. Now that I think about it, the pole saw attachment 'might' (I'll have to check) also fit my wife's Milwaukee string trimmer (which I bought for her because she likes to trim around her garden and doesn't like to mess with gas engines very much).

Mule drive belt no.102742 super seeded to no. 94-2501 ( 1/2" x 103" ) 48" deck belt no. 1594 ( 1/2" x 107" )

Mystery boxes came today in a big truck: So I unpackered them: and now I am tired. The shop is more, or less, done for now. I still have some outlets to place, and an air line to run, but the major elements are in place. Time to get to work.

I fit it today for the bolt holes, then same color as the sickle

Wanted to clean the new to me C-145auto but the garage was 28 degrees and it was even colder outside. So just a scraping, shop-vac and rag cleaning today. Also installed a belt engage/disengage lever (completely missing!)

Lefty loosey....Righty tighty No need to turn it over. On your way Joe?

Well that doesn't seem right either. Now it's a negative number?? I've never seen a bolt that small.

It says 8-10in., no way you could use it for metric.

'Course not to far off there EB. When I first succumbed to the addiction I had to look for them. Now they seem to fall out the sky. Some for free and many $100 rollers with a motor that fired right up. Some really nice ones for short money. People would see my junk yard and line ups from the road and just stop and see if I ran a tractor repair shop and ask if I was interested in another horse. She has since made me move them to unseen quarters Alice the C-120 came from a drive by for very very short money ... 200 ... ... with a magnum, a deck and a show tiller!!! Widowed PO just wanted to see it a good home.

Whatsaa mattah wit' you... That's not metric & american. That's so you can use it on bolts that face each direction.

First look it reminded me of a belt keeper on er/guard for a early RJ ... thinking now a spring tooth. Tell ya what it really is ... a part to build an entire custom franken horse around... You start out with that one piece and end up with a running driving tractor.

Thats a fantastic rescue story, well done for showing such care and responsibility by doing the right thing. We have all kinds of problems over here for our birds of prey. From road collisions killing owls as they hunt and gamekeepers poisoning hawks to stop them taking game birds. But we have success stories too with reintroduction of some species that had been extinct in some areas. We are only a tiny country and space is in great demand for housing and other building projects, so our government ignore wildlife at every turn and only pay lip service to nature conservation. Look after your wildlife, while you still have it.

It's so you can still use a wrench side after using the other side as a hammer

Cool story and well done @Digger 66! We have hay fields on 3 sides of my property. The number of Hawks that show up when it's cut is awesome. Mostly red tails and a few owls, but they get down on the ground and walk around picking up field mice by the dozens. The Hawks are always around but it's cool to see them congregate in one place. As @Pullstart said, we have coyotes, Hawks, fox, bobcats, and the rare and occasional (Thank God) black bear. All the livestock here is surprisingly safe, except for the occasional chicken that wanders too far out in the open. The Hawks will take one every once in a while but the benefit of them keeping the rodents in check outweighs the occasional loss.

Ok just ordered genuine kohler rings, and a 3" dingleberry hone. Now we wait. Connecting rod and crank journal look good so not going to change. Already glassed head and lapped the valves.

Everyone has their own preference, so with that in mind do what you want to just don't paint it JD green.

Well, whoever whatever made the seat, it looks nice. I think I had one like that at one time it looks familiar. Glad you’re enjoying your new tractor. Enjoy your weekend..

Now that’s funny.

If your using a gun get some enamel hardener such as Majic brand hardener from tractor supply. Do not use their paint just the hardener. Drys much faster and higher gloss.

Absolutely!!

I had a snowplow for my 195 powder coated a few years ago. He told me he had a great match for IH red. It turned out way to light. Most attachments I have painted with Rustoleum. I used to swear by Sunrise Red, but then Menards had IH red implement paint. I bought a mid mount grader blade that had been broken and welded together crooked. I cut it apart and disassembled the rest for the repair. I figured I might as well finish the job and paint it. That is when I tried the IH red. That did it for me. I am stuck on that now for implements. It looked so good I ordered the correct decals. It looks so nice I have never used it.(I have another.) I'll have to paint a tractor to display it with. Not to steal the thread, but I have another paint question. My neighbor is a IH Collector/Restorer. He uses Majic paint from Tractor Supply. It has a hardener available for better shine and durability. He likes it, and it does look good, but he doesn't keep them long enough to see it's durability or fade resistance. I've heard it is prone to fading. Anyone have any experience with it?

Click on the fuzzy picture

The older Electric PTOs like yours need bigger push off bolts. Probably 7/8"NC. Do not use a gear puller to remove the electric PTO you will damage it. When up get the old friction disc off and reinstall your Electric PTO the arm on the PTO will be inside of the engine bracket. Use clevis pin to secure it.

I have no problem quitting or starting back. I quit and started back at least 4 or 5 times last year.

Could it be a couple “spring teeth” off something like this?

I’m converting my 314-8 to electric

All the same reasons why I don't charge for rebuilding a carburetor. By the time I unpack, disassemble, and begin to clean the largest muck off one I'm into it for a solid hour. Sometimes twice that if the shafts have to come out. Then the ultrasonic cleaner is setup and run a LOT. Sometimes 6 to 10 runs at 35 to 40 minutes each. Remove. More cleaning. A little polishing. Reassemble. Ship n it back..... My favorite small engine repair place gets around $90 an hour and they are LOW.

A couple of images augmenting @kpinnc’s response... The pedal with its spring puts tension on the belt to engage the implement; the lock latch holds it disengaged. I have only the mower deck but I believe it also handled others--tiller, sickle bar, etc. Similar to the drive belt, the PTO belt needs a close-aligned guide to slow/stop the belt when it is disengaged. I hadn’t learned that yet when these pictures were taken!

Be very careful with that unfinished Wheel Horse being in close proximity to that green and yellow thing. ...They fight when you aren't looking. Might get a scratch in the paint!
