I'm a recovering drug addict unless your losing your house or your family I don't think you have a problem because I almost lost both to drugs and my family would rather me be working on wheel horses rather than be out getting high so I say wheel horses saved my life

Three episodes, watch in full screen because the animation is incredible.

Well, I've been out of town for a few days, and just got back last night, so I hadn't got much done on it. However, when I got back I had a couple things that had come in the mail. I got a care package from Glen Pettit, including a repro throttle knob, and a few other items. Glen does great work!! I also got some 23x10.50-12 AG's, and some tri-ribs. The clutch pedal came in as well, so now it drives. Here are a few pics. Matt

Thanks for the help Jake, this a rough crowd tonight.... I still need to get my b-80,raider 9, electro 12 and dump trailer in there tonight, all the rest my son lets me keep them at his place ZuZu (puppy) is my little garage helper.

i got so worked up about steve painting that blade of his, i just knew i needed to redo the blade on this one now before winter. nothing better than red paint shining while pushing some snow. so i took it into work yesterday and blasted/powdercoated it. put it together this morning with mostly new hardware and mounted it on the 416. did a bit of driving around and then decided i needed to paint the black on the grill as its looking a little shabby..... looks like its going to need decals and a seat now.......

And stop searching CL so much focus on what you have instead of what you could have that's really helped me stop spending the money

I love Bugs and Roadrunner and all the "Looney Tunes" guys. We have trivia questions at break & lunch all the time about cartoons!

I remember watching a lot of this before 8:00 am on Saturday!

Demarco came with me to pick it up. He loves the tractor already. Wifey even wanted to drive it. I had to put it in a storage unit for now since we just bought a house and have to move soon.

Onward to the show.

I maybe interested in a tiller that would fit an Electro 12 or Charger 12. Where in NY are you? I am making a trip to Buffalo, NY from Massachusetts next weekend.

This will be my first tractor project. Don't get too excited, I have a few other projects going on so this will probably string out over the next decade or so. I love older mechanical stuff. I like finding and rebuilding old motorcycles. I'm only a purist on pre WW2 stuff, so this probably won't be a stock resto. I love the ag tires I have seen on your tractors, so I will eventually get some of those. Other than that, this will be just a basic clean up and paint. I'm still working on a couple bikes right now that I have not yet finished. This one is my current project bike:

After experiencing the pleasure of swapping out attachments a few times I found it would be more efficient (for me) to just buy one tractor for each attachment and leave it on all the time. It wasn't worth my time and back strain to regularly swap attachments. Plus, as I was acquiring various attachments, they tended to come with worker tractors.

603 Special, 500 Special, A-90 Special. 800 Special. Ain't that special! The 603 was special because WH used their remaining stock of older WH parts from their inventory shelves. So they sold that Model for a cheaper price, basically a parts shelf clearing economy tractor. It also incorporated the new for 1964 styled parts. You can have a 603 with a lot of different parts on it from one 603 to the next. A 500 Special is special because it was associated with the Indianapolis 500 Race. The A-90 Special was special because it had the older parts from their inventory shelves like the 603 had. WH did that every few years to use up old parts in their inventory. My A-90 Special is a 1974 WH and it has the 1965 through 1969 style of square hood. It also has an older style of Briggs engine on it and some other parts as well. My 800 Special is a hydrastat drive and I don't know what makes it special as I quit using it a few years ago. So that is all I know about Special Models! LOL!

I PAID $20.00 FOR MY FIRST YEAR OF INS. 1945. GAS WAS 8 GAL. FOR $1.00 I PAID $5.00 FOR MY FIRST CAR, A 1929 NASH WITH WOODEN SPOKE WHEELS.I WAS BORN IN 1929 AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED 62 YEARS LAST MARCH.

gotta include the INDY 500 SPECIAL

I don 't own one, nor do I have a picture of one, but I do know of a model named the 420 LSE (Limited Special Edition) that I think was only made for one year.

I thought it would get easier after mid season!!! lol Here we go guys Penn State Wisconsin Ohio State Indiana Northwestern And last but not least Michigan State ​Good luck guys…got beers and brats already waiting to grill tomorrow and a pork loin hitting the smoker at 10 AM

If I still had my Built 69 SS Big Block Chevelle (with all the hidden goodies and setup proper.) I'd take that bet. Sold it a few years ago so you won't be seein my tail lights anytime soon... I know there are some wicked fast new cars, I owned a Shelby and a Subaru WRX Turbo and it is true, many of these new cars will lay a spankin on the cars of yesteryear. As an old school guy there ain't nothing cooler than an old car from the 60's that is setup proper showin a new car whats up, and from time to time it does happen. I know its an old thread and my comment is totally non related to tractors but I couldn't resist!

Some of those old type garages still exist here in UK , but sadly they are slowly dying out , only the other day i went into a garage to get some fuel and an old guy climbed out from under a car , wiping his hands on an old rag , wearing a pair of oily overalls , He was smartly dressed under his overalls with a shirt & tie and well polished shoes , He then went on to write me a written receipt and then put my money in an old metal tin and then put it under the counter.and then crawled back undereath the car that he aws working on. It brought a smile to my face when i looked into his workshop and noticed all the old tools that he was using with old stickers all over his tool box. It brought back some wonderful memories of my childhood

I have been wanting to build my dream barn for several years now and just have not been able to get it done. I spoke with the company that makes them and they are telling me it will be spring time before they will be able to produce my barn kit if I were to place my order in the next month or two so..... I just cannot let my tractors sit outside another winter. I got the energy to get started on this one. It is 12' x 20'. I got started yesterday and here is where I stand as of this afternoon. Hope to have the new standing seam metal roof on it by Monday. I plan on putting ship lap siding on it and letting it weather a bit before I stain it. We will see. The roof will be dark bronze standing seam. I figure I can get about 8 tractors in there. I will try and take more pics as I go. Oh yeah... Cousin Timbo stopped up the house and we did some horse tradin too. Pic is what I ended up with...

So... What did you do for your Wheel Horse today? I mounted up my wheel weights and put on the chains. Had to cut down and rethread the bolts for the wheel weights. That kept me out of trouble today. How 'bout you? What did you do for your Wheel Horse today?

I've been using vinegar to clean rust from the inside of gas tanks and it works very well. Since the vinegar was just sitting in a bowl after recently doing a tank, I decided to throw in a rusted pulley which shows the results much better than trying to get a pic of the inside of a tank. These 2 pulleys looked just about identical before soaking one. I let it soak for 2 days and wiped it off with a cloth. Using baking soda afterwards will neutralize the vinegar's acid. There are quite a few other posts on the subject, just type "vinegar" in the search feature.

Give me a wave when you go thru Exit 42! When in Buffalo You can Hit Coles in Elmwood Village for the best wings or Duff's for the most wings. Fat Bob's for great Barb-b Que or my new fav Country Pride Restaurant at the TA travel center at exit 48A. If you leave hungry, you're not trying!

True that's what I like to do with them is work them I make sure my brothers and my sons and my dad have a wheel horse to use I have only one show queen

We're all a little crazy its just how much can we handle I would try not to worry about it so much and if you really think you have a problem then you know what to do.

Thanks Van, and I really appreciate the role you played in helping me find this. The more I work on this , the more I love it! Matt Yes it is still the splash system. Your right, it does seem like a long way for the oil to travel, but I had the valve cover off the other day, and there was plenty of oil up there. I don't think I would allow this engine to idle for extended periods of time though. Matt

Thanks Stevasaurus.. I have a Callahan Bearings near me and they have been good with bearings and seals in the past. I can drive up and walkin Monday.. if they have them we might have this little guy back on it's feet next week! Probably going to put the one side of the case back on with Black RTV.. whatdya think?

Everyone knows the "spirits" are at your house Dino.

I'll use a 74 B-100 Automatic, with a 37" snowthrower. Also I'm going to use a 75 B-80 4spd. with a 42" blade as a backup.

1985 310-8 - I've got my choice of a blower or plow now.

I spent some time with a spray bottle of mineral spirits, a flat- head screw driver and a wire brush drill attachment! It took some work but it cleaned up nicely. I'm going to keep the pictures coming so you can see what I'm doing and put in constructive criticism if need be! :)

WE opened up the case tonight to see what is going on. It looks like the sliders up top are stuck. Gave them a good soaking with penetrating oil then heated them up with a propane torch.. hit them again with penetrating oil. Tried tapping on one of them with a punch and hammer (lightly of course) to see if there is any movement. For now they are stuck.. It looks like there is a pin that goes through the case and through both slider shafts. I assume this is what holds the shafts in place? Can anyone (steveasuarus) tell us a little more about that. It also looks like the side of the case we opened up is not the side to take the gears out from. We pulled the side with the brake drum on since that was the seal leaking. It looks pretty cruddy in there.

it starts with this, and ends with another 12x20 addition, 220 service, and plumbing! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

how is the trans holding up in the 518. they are suppose to be junk. but if you get a good one they do very well. the 518 i just bought still has the eaton 700 in it and seems to run good of course it only has 425 hrs on it when i bought it. it now has 427 eric j

When I was 17, I worked at a "Clark" station. I can still remember our greeting. " Welcome to Clark, can I fill it up today? Check that oil for ya?" Then I would clean the windows and headlights and taillights, and look at the tires. "left rear looks a little low, pull over by the air hose there and I'll check em' for you". Man, those were the days. Pat

I remember the old hand pump gas pumps with the gallon gradations inside the glass. There was a Esso station like that about a mile from our house.

My buddy has a ford, and a couple Jacobsens too.
