Spend about 5 hours today change oil greasing all 3 horses. Sharpen blades on 36 in RD deck and pressure washed it so I can work on rust spots tomorrow . Have to lube both decks and sharpen blades on 42 inch rd tomorrow. Hope to have picture of me with herd tomorrow for supporter cards.

Started working on cylinder 1 head for my 246.  Cut myself good on my left hand with a gasket scraper for a little scare. Got the valves lapped in the head, set the exhaust guide back to the correct height in the head.  Had to order a couple more valve seals, valve keepers and head bolt washers.  Why the valve gasket kit only comes with 2 valve seals and no head bolt seal washers is beyond me.  Kinda enjoying working on this thing though.

I had some scraps left over from my FEL build and I needed some front weight for my 314-8 for when I have the sprayer on the back. I already had a small receiver hitch for the front so I built a smaller version of the weight rack that I made for the 520.  I just need to clean it up and spray a little paint on it.   With the two 42 pound weights and the bracket it weighs between 85 and 90 pounds. 8CECC414-DDB3-49A1-98F4-595FDD10A1A9.jpeg.ce5f1a1100863c15925792a3b5808aaa.jpeg6723A55F-8741-4B60-B512-D6AC95111E80.jpeg.9dce71e8329e37887426f227f75c40e4.jpegB36B1CA3-2552-406E-B6AD-19F33E311135.jpeg.15868ce6d2cef221ea8330c95a8dbe4d.jpegC2B0D8F2-1942-4A43-BAC9-B1926588B96C.jpeg.ef81d7d7dd4a7cf10f4dba2eed8b1c77.jpeg

@jwalk2cc, @WVHillbilly520H, @elcamino/wheelhorse, @wheelhorseman, @953 nut. First of all sorry Johnny if I'd known you wanted it I'll always lean toward a red square member. It was savable for sure but pics made it look better than it was. Now the 312 done except for a new saddle and shoes. (See, I'm gettin this). Call or message any time johnny. You and, @Horse Newbie in Monroe only guys I got down here. I find stuff all the time and will keep you in mind.

20180422_162625.jpgNo problem at all. And Thanks for the consideration, Just glad to know of another Red Square member close by. I really need to get the 3 other non running Wheel Horses finished before I buy anymore, but if a nice 414 -8 came along or C Series I would take a look.  Johnny Walker

Put a new ignition switch on the 876 (I converted it to a relay system a few years ago after having problems with the original switch). Removed the snow thrower from the 520-HC and put the deck on. My neighbor welded a section from a scrap deck on the left side where it was rusted out. I think it turned out good! :greetings-clappingyellow:

More progress on the Work Horse pulling tractor. I got the wheelie bars mocked up and ready to weld and paint tomorrow.

 

Hopefully by the end of the week I can get the body work painted.

Thanks Richie. It's sooooo close and I'm anxious to get it done and see how she runs. I've hated to neglect it for the past year but you certainly know how priorities go. I've got to disassemble the recoil and see what I screwed up when I put it together. It wobbles if I try to pull the rope. It wasn't like that before I did my handy work on it. :doh:
