Just booked lodging for big show. Stayed same place last year. When traveling now we pretty much stay at an Airbnb. Usually cheaper or at least the same $$ as a hotel. Definitely a lot nicer. It also helps ease the pain of my girlfriend having to look at tractors for 3 days! Lol!! Now I need to get moving on getting some trailer maint done as well as getting tractors ready. Im hoping to bring 4 tractors.

Automotive Lighting Improvement, or not ??
ML3 replied to ri702bill's topic in non tractor related discussion
My Ford Focus, Chevrolet Colorado, & Cadillac CT4 all have auto dim hi beams. It's a nice feature cause I drive every morning on dark country roads to work. For only having standard bulbs & factory fog lights the illumination of the Focus headlamps is really good. Colorado has led headlamps & fogs, they work good as well. Cadillac is all led & it still has cornering lamps. They are discreetly hidden in the lower part of the daytime running lamp. They are a nice feature -

i have used variations of the almond, ivory, white etc for different models - - all look good but of course depends how closely you intend to match a "factory original" color ??? -- strictly personal preference - i suppose to some degree its dependent how often you want to wash the rims? Ha Ha -
pretty common to find the shed/garage/barn etc filling up with more of the red machines -- WELCOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice recovery to get back on subject.......

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ineedanother replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
IMO, (although I might not agree with your approach) I think you're well within your rights to do whatever you want with that as your property. The right of way might extend well beyond there from the center of the road but that's for the jurisdiction's authority via eminent domain but they don't control that property until they execute that authority. -

I've used it with good results as well. I prefer a little lighter but it looks good. -

You all are talking light years ahead of me. My wife's 2016 Dodge Durango has a head light out. The selection at Orielly's is almost overwhelming with all of the replacement options. I think I upgraded from the factory originals and will replace both to be sure they are the same hue and brightness. -

Just like Pullstarts fine video, the first skunk I trapped was rather nerve wracking in dealing with it. Called conservation office and all I got was scolding because it was not the season to trap. Tried to explain it was under my porch and that was not acceptable and I was asking them to help with removal or tell me what to do. Basically was told I was on my own. Not knowing what to expect, I wore rubber boots, rubber gloves, goggles, old clothes and my best dust mask. Walked up there with tarp, laid it over and loaded the live cage with skunk inside onto trailer. The next two, I used sheets that I have to protect floors when painting. A farmer lets me bring them to his farm and Mr. Ruger makes sure they don't return. I am mulling around that next time when I remove the sheet to use the sheet to flip the trap up side down and hopefully the door will fall open allowing the skunk to escape. The farmer doesn't care if I release live skunks in his timber. One of my concerns is the farm is only 3 miles from my house and from what I understand they need to be ten miles away otherwise they very well could return to pester me.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Handy Don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I think the point is that your driveway apron, as well as the “dirt” roadside, may be on state/county/town property--mine is! All is well until there is a problem that has a cost. I’d consider a visit to the engineer’s office to get a close look at the plot mapping so you’ll know what’s where (if you got a good survey map when you bought, that might, or might not, have enough detail). Where I grew up our family and six neighbors co-owned the access road from the county road (the property was a large, subdivided farm). A lawyer advised the group to carefully survey/plot out the access road and then try to get the town to take it as a gift to avoid having to jointly purchase liability insurance. They did. The town later upgraded the paving and started plowing it in winter! -
Those are pretty darn slick. Just imagine what they would do to a dog turd .

Nice find …Enjoy ,there will be more in due time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. -
Seems getting close to being able to host a barn dance. Have a bunch of friends? Know a good square dance caller?

If your engine sheet metal still has the Kohler decals that will have info. Of course sheet metal can be replaced. Removing the head and measuring the bore is another way. Now would be a good time to decarbon the head and valves, then adjust the valve clearance.

Well brass screw above bowl was completely gummed up and it took me an impact screw driver to get it out. Somehow the person who put this in cross threaded it all the way. Can anyone tell me is my motor a K321? Looking to complete replace carb from a reliable source if anyone knows a good one.
