What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Brought in another trailer load of pumpkins with the 312 8.  

 

Tinkered on the 655 with a predator motor..my misfit tractor.

Pumpkins?  Wow.   Where did this summer go to?   Seems like I was just cleaning maple seeds out of the gutters this spring and I'm already seeing leaves starting to drop and corn turning yellow.   This year sure was different......   for sure!

 

Nice looking front clip on that Chevy, by the way!

Hey... Uuhhhhh Daron....

How's about some info-mation on that Chevy???

Maybe a pic or two.

You just can't show us bunch of 5 year olds a picture like that and expect us not to want to know what's going on....

That looks really good.

 

Better than a pristine chrome on that tractor I think.

 

Good work.

Worked on tearing down the franken 1055 and found the tank had a 1/8" barb nipple and  this on the hood stand. Gotta give the PO a A for creative thinking!

Interesting EB ..Dan @Achto reports see another one where this had been done. The OEM 1/8" npt x 1/4" cock was changed to a 1/4x/14 barb one. Any chance this was a dealer thing in the day or just coincidence?? It's actually not a bad idea..... much easier to get at.

I've wondered that same thing.

 

My honey and I are in the habit of turning off the gas on all of our small engine machines whenever possible and this definitely does make it a lot easier.

I should be too, couple of times a leak from a stuck float made a nice hole in expensive asphalt. Back in the day it became 2nd nature to turn off the gas on the leak prone Harley.

My 73’ no name has the same thing, except it’s missing a few of the parts seen in his pic. The PO just ran a new fuel line straight from the tank to the pump so I’m not sure how it’s suppose to be setup.

Doesn't surprise me I have been tempted to do that my self. these petcocks are prone to leak with age and many opening/closings. If one doesn't have to stay original  which I am in the habit to do one can just add one of these in a convenient spot..Say just ahead of the fuel filter for easy changes.

I can't actually remember if it was on my b80 or c 160 but both of them are 1974 model year.

My 73 no name had that setup too but I had to remove it because the shut-off valve started leaking. I replaced it with one of those inline shutoffs too. I couldn't figure out where all my fuel was going since I was shutting it off because I wouldn't see the tractor again for a couple weeks. One day I went back after a couple hours and saw it dripping

Ran the GT2500 around the yard today to get the seafoam running through it some more.  The air filters and air cleaner cover showed up so I put those on too.  So much fun just zipping around in 3rd gear.  I'll run it a few more times before I pull the carb to rebuild it.  Also cut the lawn with the 246H.
