Following up on my post yesterday. Found the umbrella. Really nice condition. Don’t believe I ever opened it before. From the mid 1980’s, a gift from Wheelhorse. My office was in their HQ but I worked for the finance company who floorplanned all their dealers. Not looking to sell it but if and when will certainly offer it here. Great forum! Still using my 1996 314-H. The Best Buy ever! Got one before Toro tossed the quality units out the door.

Decided to make a mount a pressure washer for my gt14 works pretty good. Way better than pulling a cart around the house.

March 3, 1931 "The Star-Spangled Banner" officially becomes the US national anthem by congressional resolution; lyrics by Francis Scott Key in 1814 are set to John Stafford Smith's 18th-century tune "The Anacreontic Song"

Rescued an orphaned snowplow today, guy threw in a set of tire chains (white bucket) as well. Was his father’s before he passed, his mom sold the tractor years ago, believed to be a 312-8, and the plow just collected dust. Today was the first time I drove since January 19th, day of my rotator cuff surgery, felt good to be back in the saddle.

So I seem to have left y'all hangin' here. I found some time tonight to letter the hood & engine fan shroud. I wish that I had more to show but I've been dealing with O.P.S ( Other People's Sh..tuff). Got a Scrub Cadet that I'm painting this weekend and I also have a Simple-city paint job to get off my plate before I will get back to my own project. TTFN.

Hello, my Name is Dick and I recently scooped up a D160. I had actually been looking at 312-8s because they are gear drive but I recently purchased a large property with wooded land and suddenly I found my self needing a heavier machine. I camper across a D160 with the snowblower, plow, and deck. Rear 3 point hitch, running and working for $800. I had to send a kid to fetch it and when he returned I realized that I believed the deck is not the correct one and I’m in need of a mule drive. I’ve been creeping this site for a while and I figured how I need one of join.

Not sure why daughters are always stealing these things!

The Sweepster C-48 broom really does an excellent job of getting the rocks out of the grass. I used to sweep them back into the road when it was dirt. Now it’s paved so and so is my driveway so I won’t be using it for that purpose anymore. I’ll still use it for light snow and if I ever get my rear in gear I’m going to add some casters to it so I can de-thatch my lawn. Or I’ll just use my EZ-Rake model 100, sorry if I got off topic.

Raked the stones back to the hard road then used the dozer blade to push them to the stone road.

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

When I got my first horse, iSaveTractors' parts and some of their videos accelerated my success. I just saw this post on FB and thought it was worth sharing here.

Great to finally have a day near 60 degrees. Had a few out for some fresh air. Cherry smoke smells great too. Smoked turkey sandwiches later.

I tried this contraption a few years ago, worked pretty good.

Well I guess it’s been awhile since I last worked on this tractor. Over the summer me and my dad attempted to paint the hood. After the 4th try we kinda gave up. More wheelhorses came along but those projects are starting to get finished up. About a month ago my dad asked his friend who has a body shop if he would help paint the hood. We took it to him a few weeks ago and today we got the call that it was done. And WOW the hood turned out great. He even helped put the hood decals on! So finally we had a few things to do on it. Today we mounted the hood, and mounted all the heat shields. Tommorow we will put the latches on the hood and hopefully put the grippy tape on the floorboards.

That's why one has to dig through those buckets & milk crates at flea markets & garage sales.

Worked on this Clinton for a bit for the RJ-35 cable steer. These are like Onans or techies or even Briggs ... easy to work on but just a bastage to find parts for.

Don't sweep too early otherwise it will snow again!

March 2, 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor Company celebrates the production of its 1 millionth Mustang, a white convertible. The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched two years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up nearly 22,000 of them. More than 400,000 Mustangs were sold within that first year, exceeding sales expectations.

Friday February 27, 2026 at Florida Flywheelers Show in Avon Park, Florida. More pictures from the show today! Met Art Fontanes today at Florida Flywheelers! Art was Senior Test Engineer for Toro at their Tampa Test Facility at the University of South Florida from 1987 to when he retired. Who knew Toro had a test facility in Tampa, Florida! Art had previously worked for Wheel Horse as a test facility engineer for two years at the South Bend, Indiana plant! In 1986 and 1987, before Toro bought Wheel Horse! Art is now retired from Toro.

February 27, 1960, Two decades before the famed "Miracle on Ice," another underdog U.S. Olympic hockey team defeats the Soviet Union team in the semifinals at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, California. The next day, the U.S. beats Czechoslovakia to win its first-ever Olympic gold medal in hockey. Update: they did it again sixty-six years later.

He can do a better job sloshed than I can do stone cold sober ...

Another option is this brake cable from napa around $20 and you can get 2 cables out of it, by cutting it in half. It's handled everything I have thrown at it. Or since this is for around a 2004 Chevy crew cab brake cable you can get it for free by cutting it out of @Pullstart's truck

Yesterday I got a call from one of my old snowplowing customers saying that there was a tree across the driveway and the new plow guy couldn’t get in. So I borrowed a payloader and pushed it out of the way and plowed the driveway. Then went past a friends farm and he was out with his snowblower, the thing is so bad ass that I had to pull in and tell him that!! Since I was already in the loader I drove over to my mother’s house and plowed her driveway. 50 years ago I plowed this entire driveway with Tonka payloader and Tonka T-9 bulldozer. Somewhere my mother has pictures. Recently I posted a picture of me on my Work Horse plowing in this exact spot when I was 14. My mother who is 87 years old and one of the funniest people you can meet, told me “Go stand in front of that thing so I can take a picture and send it to my friends!” After that I went to work clearing snow off of a job site with a D-5 dozer. So I thought I’d share some snow removal pictures and videos! IMG_1468.mov IMG_1469.mov IMG_1470.mov

I noticed this morning walking to the mailbox that there was a lot of gravel in the yard by the road. We had a lot of small storms this winter and the Twp outdid itself with stone. Sweepster will be coming out early this year. My shoulder and rakes do not get along. Ed you need one and your cab would be a good thing. A face full of snow from the blower is one thing a face full of gravel when the wind picks up is another...Takes me multiple days waiting for the right wind conditions...

Most of the electric fuel pumps are available with different pressure ratings... Maybe you got the wrong one. You could add a pressure regulator if you think the pressure is too high and you can crank it down to 1 psi that may not overwhelm your float https://www.amazon.com/Pilida-9710-Fuel-Pressure-Regulator/dp/B092DK7W1G/ref=sr_1_2_sspa

They make back hoes too but that didn't stop me from building one.

If he finished that glass before getting it done. LOL

Make sure you drive it across your "yard " at high speed in transport mode.

We did to until we upgraded to a two man outside antenna in 1952. One person took the pipe wrench to the back porch and turned the support pipe while the second person relayed the picture quality to the pipe man.

Oldies but Goodies! A picture i took at the 2012 Mentone, Indiana Wheel Horse Swap Meet that made it in Law and Garden Tractor Magazine! I took several photos at the request of Richard Layne of the highlight of the Mentone Swap Meet held on April 21, 2012. This was a two horses purchased by a one horse hauler: Tthe trailer hauling the two C models wheel horse tractors had a flat tire down the road about a mile after leaving the Mentone Park Swap Meet site. Both Wheel Horse tractors ran and as my brother David said he should have hooked up the Wheel Horse tractors as a team and hauled the real horse home!

IDK the engine probably ran for 50 to 60 years with out them before.

I believe you're doing fine. A Wheelhorse thread and you writing/ typing about Wheelhorse stuff.... Seems reasonable.

Back in the 70's I walked into Chandlers either to look, say hi or get something for my Suburban and sitting there was a shiny new 76 B-80 and I wanted it. We were just married and living paycheck to paycheck but I decided to call my wife for permission. I guess I didn't need to. Her words were: "you're going to buy it no matter what I say so just go ahead".

Thank you Big Unit ! @ebinmaine @Achto

Florida Flywheelers - Saturday February 28, 2026. Last day of the 2026 show. Rodney Burger , Vernon Perry and I had a great time this year. Talked with lots of folks from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and Indiana with Wheel Horses or good Wheel Horse memories and connections! Rodney’s Wheel Horse display was again the largest at the show!

Greetings from Central Mass. My name is Dana Kennison and am the proud owner of several horses. What finally brought me here today is that I am in need of help with a broken transmission.. Bad year here in the north east to be without my trusty snow pusher. I will be posting a want ad today and when . winters claw finally relaxes I will be offering some of my collection of parts and other stuff. All for now.

Worked a little on some tire/ wheel stuff today for a project. 2 tires had Predator blood in them. What a mess! You absolutely have to love this stuff. Otherwise no way I'd do it!

To stop the bleeding when you get cut on the poorly machined parts.

Just to show that I haven't been slackin' off and it's my thread so I'm allowed to go off topic. Got part of the Scrub Cadet side project done. Not traditional colors, this one received a nice base coat clear coat black paint job. I have one more round of parts to spray on this one, as soon has the owner gets them to me.

That is in fact the original seat, but not the rear tires. The seat just needed a good cleaning and some love! At the Big Show last year I purchased those tires and rims from Brian Badman not even knowing what I was going to do with them. One of the original rear rims had some rust on it for some reason? When I rolled the wheels from Brian along side this tractor it was a no brainer. The paint was an exact match and the 23x8.50-12 ag tires were a factory option. I wasn’t sure if I was going to leave them on, but I now think I will. As far as the history from Sam, he basically told me everything that he knew about it. The tractor belonged to his coworkers grandfather. The coworker told Sam it had been in the back corner of the barn for as long as he could remember! To me it looks as if he purchased it and parked it. Nubs still on the tires and the paint on the muffler.

My splitter can be positioned horizontally or vertically. I have never used it horizontally. It has auto return (about 5 seconds) which gives me time to position the next round. TSC 22 ton Made in the USA was $999 when I bought mine 30 years ago. Never failed yet.

February 28, 1983 Final TV episode of "M*A*S*H" airs on CBS, a two-hour special directed by series star Alan Alda titled "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen"; a record 125 million viewers watch in the US, a record that remains unbroken over forty years later.

Just enough to steady the hands.

They find me handsy. Is that close enough?

February 26, 1616, The Roman Catholic Church gives astronomer Galileo Galilei his first warning about promoting the belief that the Earth orbits the Sun—an idea for which he was later convicted of heresy. It took another 300 years for the church to admit he was right.

After l bent the balancer puller plate and destroyed the threads on a advance auto PT brand one. I returned that one for the warranty. And ordered a used snap-on from eBay for $30, 100% worth it. I was going between this snap-on, and a old Mac puller. Ended up going snap-on because of the applications I am using it for, the snap-on's design let's the plate sit a little closer, when pulling on shafts like this. I am not huge on tool truck name tool brands. I have many different brands in my toolbox, lot of old craftsman, crescent, masterforce (menards brand) are the main ones. But these pullers, are one tool I would definitely go name brand, or at least old on.

I remember riding in one in the Ford pavilion at the Fair

We got all kinds just forgot to adjust the quantity when we did run out for a very short time then we made some more, here is a picture of a few we will get the quantity adjusted shortly and they’ll reappear

March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy issues Executive Order #10924, establishing the Peace Corps as a new agency within the Department of State. The same day, he sent a message to Congress asking for permanent funding for the agency, which would send trained American men and women to foreign nations to assist in development efforts. The Peace Corps captured the imagination of the U.S. public, and during the week after its creation thousands of letters poured into Washington from young Americans hoping to volunteer.

I don't want to but Dan hid a bottle of captains in some bushes last year and now we gotta go get it.
