rick 215 #26 Posted January 24, 2015 I have a bunch of stuff to do- decarbon/valve adjust on 416H, sell C111 and 310-8, take frame off 414-8 parts roller and get it re-enforced at the trans mounting plate so I can put it on my 416H. I need to fix the wipers on my Merc GM and sell it, and get my Tahoe running so I can give it to my oldest daughter. At 66, after working an 8 hour day including 2 hours of windshield time, spending time with the wife and Murphy the Basset hound takes precedence! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #27 Posted January 24, 2015 All's runnin' well but, PM (preventative maintenance) goes on and on and on. Today changed tires on the Work Horse, just to put chains on for the snow pushin' the grandsons prayed for. They must be nutso! White junqué, who needs it? Last big project, almost done. A '90 520-8, runs great now! Still workin' on the Horse but not much to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,256 #28 Posted January 24, 2015 Love the picture Tankman but I had to do a double take. Is that hat allowed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman you are being slack on your Wheel Horse training, Green Hats with Yellow Deere are not allowed. Shape up before you start painting Wheel Horses green and yellow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #30 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Love the picture Tankman but I had to do a double take. Is that hat allowed? No but I'm just the grandpop. I think he got it from some good-for-nothin' trouble maker! Oh deere! Paid a couple of hundred bucks for that Horse. Think I got ripped? Hey, spend a few hundred just 'cause I needed the '90 520-8! The 'T' junqué had to go; decals, steering wheel top center, air screen center piece, all gone! Edited January 24, 2015 by Tankman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,549 #31 Posted January 24, 2015 Whether they are pregnant or not, wives are gonna complain about smelling something. I don't need fuel or oil to get that statement... just a nice meal with plenty of hot peppers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alswagg 128 #32 Posted January 26, 2015 I just finished installing power assisted steering to my D back hoe/loader. Next is to prep and paint. The other D has been pulling snow blower duty at our cabin in Michigan. Not much use this winter however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,256 #33 Posted January 27, 2015 How 'bout what has kept me from working in the shop. This was supposed to be just a freshen up job but when I got started there was so much hidden damage it became a total gut job. Replaced damaged framing, built new shower and cabinets, plumbing, tile, on and on..................... The good news is it's done. I've got the 42"sd deck underside ready for some POR-15 but it got too cold out (only for a couple days) and I'm finally back on the Suburban. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,844 #34 Posted January 27, 2015 That's awesome! A paint booth in the house! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,256 #35 Posted January 27, 2015 I like that idea!! As soon as YOU run that past Mrs. Bob I may just try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,844 #36 Posted January 27, 2015 You have to start out slow. First tractor parts under the bed. Then using the oven to warm and dry parts, (Maynard can help you with that one ) Then come book shelves loaded with parts in the good living room. THEN the booth! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,256 #37 Posted January 27, 2015 Even at my old age and playing with for 55 years I must still be a rookie. I do have had a completely stripped Suburban hood that's been sitting in the computer room for quite a while though. Yup, a rookie. Either that or I'm scared to death of my wife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheesegrader 433 #39 Posted January 29, 2015 I've finished almost all of the 520 repairs including the Cozy Cab. Got the linear actuator installed on the chute of the 2-stage thrower, but managed to break the DPDT switch while installing it in the mount! So, first, I will replace all the things I broke last weekend. Tomorrow, I have to fix the kerosene heater in the pole barn, because it will be -10 on Friday. This weekend, we have on the list: spinner knobs on two of the 520's New seals, float and needle valve to the spare carb, then swap into the '94 520 swap out the hydro control valve on the 91 520, and if it stops the *$#&# leak, replace the hydro hoses to the ram, and refill with amsoil. Drive to Tomah Sunday to meet SooFooDude and pick up my new SWEEPSTER!!!!! Install sweepster, and blast snow all over the neighborhood! Whoo Hoooo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
