You were a little ahead of me when I bought mine. She's a worker. Albeit a light one.

I picked up this neglected LSE 5 years ago, I mean you should be seen the the amount of dust that was on the hood when I got it 😂

The Elmer Fudd calander.

I would be afraid of what I'd build with a little moonshine... Quickly followed by @squonk previous gif:

That's interesting. Our spring hunting season opens tomorrow. Gobblers and horse rustlers are fair game.

March 20, 1973, Puerto Rican-born Roberto Clemente, a 15-time All-Star with a .317 career batting average, is elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, the first Latin American player to receive that honor.

Chain case apart today & unmounted tires. Rears are shot but rims really need cleaning up and I have some ags that were on the flame that should work good. . Wasn't gonna take the case apart cause the oil came out pretty clean. Glad I did jack shaft & bearings was plugged solid with old crappy grease. Will take longer to clean everything up. There is no case gasket listed but someone tried to seal it up ... PO or Ponds??? Not sure what do do about the hubs and sure is a mystery why no keyways. The sprocket doesn't look like it was taken off and put on a different axle. The axle and the sprocket are listed as one part in the IPL. Kinda crappy lookin welds if still factory. @jeremi3210 suggest cutting some keys in with a dremel but that might be beyond my skill level. Need to talk with @Shynon yet he's been in a few of these.

What, there aren't any McDonalds where you are going? If it is that remote please include the audio of the dueling banjos with your post.

Given this alot of thought lately. Automotive paint is nice and holds a shine but can be quite brittle. What will make a scratch on many surfaces will chip on Automotive paint with hardener. Rattle can paint is softer, but most scratches are just that. With some work they can be repaired. I painted the V14 with rustoleum + hardener and it still is a bit rubbery several months later. I'm starting to like the durability of it. One thing to note: if your paint gets exposed to long term direct sunlight (think shed with open sides), rattle can won't hold up as well as Automotive. All my machines do some work. They just get exposed to a tougher life than what my truck gets. They get dirtier and far more scratches. At least I can make a decent (sometimes) repair on my tractors.

Here is what it looks like in there. I put new seals in mine a few years ago.

The 420 I picked up is in really rough shape also. Hope to spend some time on it this year.

Tomorrow is NH Maple Day. A local group taps all the town owned trees and donates the proceeds to 7 local charities.

It's the 6.2L with over 10:1 compression so there's just no getting around high octane. 10-speed and AFM helps some but the facts are the facts. I can't pull this trailer with a Vega wagon

@JCM looks like 6 Jim

If you ever have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to send a PM. Glad to help if I can Don on your Resto. Good Luck Jim

Regular 400 series front axle etc, as far as I know.

Exactly what it is here .... round hood???... no wait I KNOW what yer after ... mums the word ...

@Bill D That's okay if the metal plate is gone on the hood. Those could probably be made up at an engraver. That along with a registration card was to be sent back to WH with info what the new owner wanted engraved on it. The serial number was on the fender pan and the number when built as well. Hate to see it go to waste.

Nice find. Even if it's tired.

Last day at the beach house. An anchored ship at dawn waiting for a Bay Captain to take her up river to Philly. Sun Up Fishing for breakfast.

All depends on how badly you want to own a LSE. Chrome plating, correctly done leather upholstery and restoration of the LSE only steering wheel would be very expensive. But, if you don't decide to buy it post some pictures and someone on here will want to show it some love.

Like a guy in town here - bought a new Escalade pickup & put a snowplow on it!!

I have been painting Rust-Oleum in the just below recommended temperatures and its been ok the biggest thing I noticed that causes problems is if the metal you are painting is pretty cold such as colder earlier in the day or the night before and hasn't warmed up enough it doesn't stick very well and gets runs easily. (If possible get the metal as warm as practical, the cans of paint also need to be kept warm) Also it takes much longer to cure. As to your question I would say it's definitely better to wait for both temperature and humidity to be ideal but humidity can cause a disaster if it's too high and the metal is sweating. I would not paint major sheet metal in less the ideal especially the hood, but the smaller parts you will probably be ok if you aren't looking for a perfect paint job. If you want the paint to be really good low humidity and 70° will make it easier

I’m inspired by many things. Parts available, my tools on hand, and sometimes a little moonshine never hurt nobody.

Years ago i bought a front hitch for my B-80 Wheel Horse that someone in Rhode Island was selling on ebay. These hitches were great and i bought another for a toro model wheel horse. However , i wanted to see if the B-80 version would work on a toro 314-8 i hsve. I finally got around to it today! The beauty of this hitch is you can keep your front mower mule drive on either yhe hitch! Here are some pics for your review! Firest few pics are of B-80 with hitch and last few of the hitch installed on the 314-8.

While yer on the road Ineed go get this junior ... guy is giving it away. Claims the carb bowl is broke. Says it's a '58 but I say 56 or 57. Take yer gas card tho it's in far western Montana!

What engine is in your truck? We run premium as well with Mrs. P’s ride but it has the supercharger requiring high octane. Hauling trailers with Norman, I notice better average fuel mileage going to the Big Show than I do to Wisconsin. I’d like to say the turbo builds better boost hitting the hills, and coasts down them. You may be on to something

This load I picked up the other day, was meant to mostly pass on to others. I did not mean to like this no name 14. I didn’t mean to want to keep it. Dangit! It runs great, and I think I can put it to good use. I sold the seat to Mark @Horsin'round at the big show. Well, now I need a seat. I got a cool one from @TonyToro Jr. at the show too. Let’s see now…

You are a day late or six days early. But, it looks coooool.

Yeah, the 10 speed will shift a lot. I'll stay east of the remains of Helene on I-77 this time. I worked the storm and hated to see that. I fear it won't be the last.

In other words NO TEN MILIMETER sockets needed.

I believe so - and the heavy duty hubs & bearings.

Pretty sure it's not a clone. Did the LSE have 5 lug chrome front rims? Tag is gone just 4 holes in the hood.

Perhaps it's worth saving...? At least get it dry and assess...

Our experience shows longer. Assembly.... very carefully. A few days. Cured? Man..... 2, 3 months or more. Even then don't expect auto paint type durability.

Put these on the 702 today

I am picking asparagus, parsley and broccoli is about there. Getting to warm for the lettuce despite the near freezing nights. Another few weeks for good peas n beets. does that count in a snow thread No thank you with the four letter word Keep at it guys

I usually bring my paint and parts inside for a day before painting to get everything up to 70*.

Our syrup season is anywhere from February first to late March. Here in Maine we have Maple Syrup Sunday. Third Sunday on March. Almost always still sap running but near the tail end. Same here.

Absolutely!

Sounds to me like a franken horse ranch

We got a few more inches last night. I hope it will warm up and melt some in the next few days.

If I see one more extra white rim. LOL

I picked this up at one of the Wheel Horse Shows (I think ). Maybe I bought it from someone here?? Either way it caught my eye and came home with me thinking it would make a good wall hanger. That and I can’t afford the price that authentic WH signs bring. As you can tell it’s the back off of a bagger hood (bagger pic for reference). Still needs a second coat, and trying to decide if that lower wide stripe area should be “linen beige” .

Got tired of wrestling my mower deck around the garage in the off-season so I threw together a simple cart with casters. Now it fits nicely and isn’t tempted to fall over.

I can just hear Uncle Jim now… “Oh balls.”
