Hodge71 662 #1 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) My son mowed for the first time yesterday. He has been plowing for years with his Charger 12. He graduated to the big guy now. Its been awhile since we last used it to plow. About a month or so to be exact. I was under the impression these had the 10 pinion limited slip transaxle in them and it always spun 1 wheel when it lost traction with a huge head of snow. I figured it was cooked because after plowing for awhile it gradually got slower and hotter as well.... After doing some research it had a Sundstrand 90-2046 not the 90-2062 it was supposed to have. I was able to pick up a 90-2062 Sundstrand hydrogear and swap them out. What pain in the hoosegow that was. But it now runs and drives again. I had some steering issues I had to work out but its pretty square now. At least for the time being. I really want to find a new/rebuilt steering column and probably going to repaint the whole tractor again. Its definitely a hard working machine and has won a soft spot in both of our hearts. So here he is mowing for the first time yesterday. I will say I dont like how the old style mower mounts. I wish I could swap out a tach a matic system. The mower doesn't float like I'm used to..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kEYp8tLgIw Edited April 28, 2015 by Hodge71 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #2 Posted April 28, 2015 Nice video and subject matter!! You son looks like he is having a good time. I would have liked mowing when I was a youngster if dad made me use a Wheel Horse! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 662 #3 Posted April 28, 2015 Nice video and subject matter!! You son looks like he is having a good time. I would have liked mowing when I was a youngster if dad made me use a Wheel Horse! I started on my Dads 12 Automatic at 9 years old. Jeb is 9 so i figured he was ready. I've seen his control get much better over the last 3 years of plowing so mowing was his next hurdle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,486 #4 Posted April 28, 2015 I have seen the Tach-a-matic and mule drive adapted to GT-14s a couple of times, drill a few holes in the right places and bolt them on. ps; when you do it take lots of photos and post them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hodge71 662 #10 Posted April 28, 2015 It's supposed to mean prison. I've heard the farmer I used to work for as a youngin' use it for the pigpen and my gram used it to mean any that was a pain in the butt was a pain in the hoosegow.
