New tires and wide rims for the 314H. Waiting on the weather to cooperate so I can paint the rims. Plan on using the 314H as my plow tractor this year.

Try https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/huskee-v-belt-1-2-in-x-70-in-oc-4461101 I run this brand on all my tractors. The tractor that I pull a moldboard plow with, has over 150hrs with the same belt driving it. My pulling tractor just finished its 3rd season running the same belt. Should be available at a local TSC.

Oops, too late, some assembly required!

You lube it and you'll be holding on to the speed control lever to keep the speed you want. The big washer and nut is the friction point that holds the position you put the lever in.

September 25, 1965, the Kansas City Athletics start ageless wonder Satchel Paige in a game against the Boston Red Sox. The 59-year-old Paige, a ***** League legend, proved his greatness once again by giving up only one hit in his three innings of play.

I know it’s Friday and I’m a day late but here’s a few pictures.

Mowed a couple rounds with the 48"SD on the 312H and on the next round I noticed the right blade was not cutting. Thinking the spindle belt tensioner was jammed with grass, I pulled under the hoist and lifted her up to check it out. The blade was missing. A quick search and I found the blade but not the bolt and washer. I dumped a deck parts bucket and grabbed a new bolt and washer and sharpened the blade while it was off. Put the blade back on but the bolt would not start in the hole. The bolt didn't vibrate out, it broke off. So the deck came off and went on the repair/storage rack. It also needs a hole patched then cleaned and oil soaked. I put the plow on this tractor every fall just a little earlier than usual this year. Got out the 310-8 to finish mowing. The grass was due to be vacuumed up any way. I use the Trac Vac every 3-4 mowings.

My Mom and Dad had a ski club called "The Ski-Boes" when they were younger. Custom beer mugs, patches etc. Lifelong friends ... Those mugs form the base of the shelves. All others represent fundamental elements of family life in artistic, not hierarchical form. BTW - I just grilled the first steak from my two early does... tell your friend that venison is indeed proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!

Sunset tonight.

This mountain man represents that. I also warsh my truck and change the oral.

NO LUBE at all. Ask me why I know.........

Cleaned off the underside of my 42”RD. Found the right side attach-a-matic bracket super loose where it bolts to the frame. Never had a loose one before…I’ll be checking more often I guess.

I have been homebound with the flu for a few days and decided to take on a project that has been on my mind for some time. We are blessed to have a chart of drive belt sizes for all models of Wheel Horses, but the way it is laid out it can be a bit cumbersome to deal with and I have reconfigured the information in a manner I hope will be easier to use. I haven’t included all models and I apologize in advance for any mistakes or omissions I may have made. I have also included a few other tidbits. Tractor drive belts Drive belts should be fabric covered 58 – 59 RJ 1567 4L - 29 60 – 61 SUBURBAN 1569 4L -29 1961 and later Horizontal crankshaft Wheel Horses can be divided into four categories, Short Framer, Mid Frame, Long Frame, and Estate Tractors.

I have seen belts sold on the internet using the TORO/Wheel Horse part numbers that won’t work because they are too wide and I have used the Tractor Supply replacement belts with good results. Use your own judgement.

I’ll be reinstalling the original k301 when I take the tractor apart for painting next month

I remade a chipboard/melamine shelf into a narrower shelf to fit between the Murphy bed and wall at the lake house. This will be the 3rd or 4th life for that shelving unit.

Maybe you should take up crabbing ... heard tell strippers are involved ...

Spent the day with a friend after he asked me if I could sit with him while his wife went to work. Marty fell 2 1/2 years ago on a construction site pretty much destroying both of his ankles. He had (what seems like his umpteenth surgery) this week and his wife wanted someone to keep an eye on him. He is hoping one more surgery will patch him up as best as he will ever be sometime early next year. Interesting that a fellow learns about another fellow if you have six hours of just sitting and talking.

the friction in this area is so low no lube is necessary. grease will only attract dirt and will accelerate wear.

So, for grins and giggles, looks like we now know where to apply the Greasy Pete Treatment to all our friends who drive autos... asking for a friend ...

Good thing you know a guy...

If you decide to replace, please don’t discard the original--someone here would likely take it to attempt a refurb.

Yep, that's one of them Cube-bota's...

That will function for a short time but you won't get good life out of them. I've tried them. CALL Lincoln at A to Z Tractor and get a good belt. Or someone else may be able to give a good brand's number for local purchase.

Well if you want to use the Koran.. Quran... Corean.... The Muslims' Book, there are 7 heavens. I count 6 levels in that display, including the WH on the top, so one could surmise something is out of frame. Wrong kind of crabs.

Sylvia. I’m trying to make sense of the shelving. Are deer between heaven and earth? And Wheel Horse is in heaven? Asking for a friend…

Chilly but a great day with the sons. VID_20260924_143331943~2.mp4

VID_20260924_102901382~2.mp4 No luck trolling for stripers. We ran 20 crab traps for two hours and had our 72 crab limit so we packed it in and headed home. VID_20260924_092253848~2.mp4

Set screw theme. I have one hub on Big Oly that likes to walk so new screws. Have to take one pie weight off to do it. At the same time I changed the oil to Rotella 15/40 and installed the snows. Winter's coming!

A man walks into a mechanic's shop late at night. Man: "Can you help me? I think I'm a moth." Mechanic: "I'm a mechanic. You need a psychiatrist." Man: "Yeah, I know." Mechanic: "Well, why did you come here then?" Man: "Your light was on."

My work warehouse has been changing all the racks. Large metal pallet racks that hold many many 12.5 foot long siding pallets. Several other types of racks and various other steel items too. We've been making a few trips to the local metal recycling yard. Huge machinery. They have two long armed excavators that have the capacity to lift two cubed cars at once. Those machines also have an operator station "cab" that can raise itself to about 15 feet off the ground so the Loader person can see into a 13' 6" tall trailer. Always wide open throttle busy there. Been very interesting to see all that.

Clean the joint with the big washer top and bottom with parts cleaner and keep it dry. Put some grease in the long slot. Remove the console cover, clean the fins and everything under there, then oil every moving joint you can find, I like motorcycle chain lube.

I’ve also been fighting a stumble or hesitation off idle. I saw a video yesterday on tuning and it was mentioned that today’s fuel with 10-15% ethanol requires about 4 degrees advance over ethanol free fuel. That ethanol ratio probably changed at the pumps since this was daily driven all those years ago.

I did one of mine yesterday as well. The deck belt broke and while waiting for the replacement decided to remove the deck and check everything out. Loaded with grass, but it cleaned up nicely. I think next year I will repaint the underside. This is the deck I redid last year!

If ya don't have any plans fer the 16 probably wouldn't be hard to get rid of if ya wanted to part with it.

The engine in the front of the photo looks like a tecky like @ebinmaine stated, it does not have to fuel pump area and the same breather as the kohlers. The engine in the back does however look like a kohler

Definitely agreed.

I agree with that Achto 100%. . I just did the 1056 with that dash board. Much better. Back in the day they made good push / pull cables. Today,s are junk.
