I just put up this industrial quality 20 x 30 storage building for all my tractors and attachments. Horses look happy there. Cleat

Hi Everyone, I was at a local fall festival and decided to bring some tractors for fun lol. Here are some pictures. Hope you like them!

Well I'm back home for the weekend, I've sat the engine on. Next job is to make a magnum oil pan fit the frame... Then sort the brake and clutch linkage, fingers crossed it might be running under its own power!

Ohhh....I remember that... .............back in his good ol' daze.

Does it even snow there in Kentucky?

Do you think I can save those original decals.....they are so nice and I'd love to keep them if I DO restore it. I think for now, preservation restoration, then later I'll do a full restore. IDK -- I'm a woman.....I'll change my mind 100 times before tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!

I'll have to do it tomorrow, I actually got done at a decent hour tonight. I'm starting to learn, if there's no pics there's no decks and tillers right?

Too low?......... Just right? Had to move some stuff around in the shed and that involved getting her off the table. Figured I would push it outside and get an idea of how it's going to sit. I have some new front tires on a wider rim so it wont have as tall of a tire in the front. I think I like it.

Sounds like you got the better end of the deal.

Wheel Horse Addicted however many good garden tractors out there. I am allergic to big box stores and vertical shaft engines. Horizontal engines only in my barn. There are many tractor forums find one for your tractor.

I see 8 plows. I get ornery if I have to trip over 2! Call up Steve. He needs something to do this winter and he likes painting plows!

The only thing I could notice is the stock pile of snow/dozer blades standing on end..

Another great story For sharing. What an interesting thread this has become , allowing us to learn more about the interests and hobbies of other members. for starting it Geno.

Well mine goes back a long ways to the first days of the interweb thingie. 1995 I logged into a BBS for the first time and it asked for a screen name. What the heck was a screen name? At the time I had a 2 year old nephew who was obsessed with my tuba that I played an a local community band. Every time he saw me he called me Tuba. A few months later I messed up my account and had to create a new one. So I decided to jazz up the name and call myself Sousa after both the sousaphone and it's inventor John Phillip Sousa. A few more years go by and Sousa is an account name that is often already taken, I guess some people actually have that last name...sheesh. Anyways I added the Kerry as it is my first name and ain't nobody gonna have Sousakerry already.

I enlisted in the Coast Guard in '69. Coasties have a number of nicknames: Holligans Navy, Puddle Pirates, and Shallow Water Sailors (probably thought up by a Squid ). The two jokes that I remember were: We wear the US Treasury seal on our right sleeve (long history of the service.) That was the indicator of how deep the water could be to sail on. We had to be six feet tall in case the ship sank - so that we could walk to shore. With all of that, I chose "shallowwatersailor."

Was thinking of different ideas for a front weight on my 633 and this is what I came up with. Simple yet effective. It weighs 40lbs and it's made from flat steel stock and concrete filled lolli columns. Just had them around the house. The best part is if I need more I can jus weld on what I need.

I made up a set of adapters to use barbell weights,,, many times you can find barbell weights for free. I think the adapters cost me 20 bux for the materials.

Paint them red and your score goes to 10! Great idea, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words chaps! Another full day and not a massive amount to show, remote gear linkages are done. Managed to strip and spray the hood stand. Just the hood to paint now and another few coats on the fender.

I'm not a 100% sure Geno is on our side.. It seems he is trying to start a monopoly here... [emoji14] [emoji6]

Nick, heres how i did mine. there should be a clamp at the rear upper most point of the left side of the hydro that holds it in position. i also put a clamp on top of the transmission(two bolts that go into the top to hold the seat pan support..... have to look inside here to see where it goes, this pic was taken for another reason.......

You sir are a true gentleman and as you say, "without pictures it didn't happen". Good luck with the rebuild and keep us posted.

'Ya beat me to it ^ Too bad those weren't tillers hangin' there . I'd be in for a road trip ....

So what, I have a plow fetish.

Ready for some Satin Black on the grille 2mar after a little scuffing. Its the first day for awhile to be above 70 so I better git' er done.

Almost finished with my first wheel horse (1968 lawn ranger)

Nice 854! I have it's little brother.....a 654!

Did you check the wheel well? Is it embedded in the car? Could have just flipped off in the grass somewhere too.

That's exactly what I was thinking when you said you couldn't find anything in the road.

It is really cool to see why people do things the way they do. I've learned a whole lot of cool stuff in this one! Only about 10,00 more to go!

I put the ags on the beast and dug the 12" plow out of the woods this past weekend. Maybe tonight I will hook it up and do a few test passes. Hope the plowing is good this year as it broke my heart not having a tractor to plow with last year.

You can make a bracket for the rear and put anything you want on it for weight. This came with some stuff I bought somewhere.

Interesting responses. The purchase didn't work out, so right now I have only wheel horse. The tractor I was looking at was a beautiful little JD 110, but in this case, beauty was only skin deep. The exterior sheet metal had been really nicely finished and painted but beyond that, nothing was given any attention. I don't understand why anyone would put that much time and money into a project and not finish it.

Cool collection! Thanks for sharing.

That is one good looking herd!!

Hello and That is like the massive score!

I agree with Pickle on the ball hone thing, I only use the 3 stone also.

You might be able to save them but the paint might be tougher than the decals. Maybe try some mild solvent and gradually move to something more aggressive. If they don't clean up Terry's decals are spot on and a bargin. If they do clean up and you decide to repaint try using electrical tape carefully trimmed with a razor knife. I did that with a Commando 800 and it's virtually impossible to tell that they are not new decals. I seem to have much better luck with electrical tape rather than the blue painters tape on edges like that.

Great looking tractors thanks for the pics

You should be able to get the weights from your local dealer or find a nice used set. I run chains and weights both.

Got the holes drilled Geno ....now I'll let-er soak for a few days. If it won't move till Monday, we'll goto Bob's saw and drill plan. Wow, there was a Kohler under all that crud..and it is a Walbro carb Slammer. Thanks Eric, but I have a puller I made from a piece of plate.

They can't hurt. You know the old saying, always be prepared.

I had the same thing happen on my B-100 Automatic. The pulley bolt came loose and let the inside splines of the pully wear out. The shaft should not have been damaged as it is hard steel. A replacement pulley with the bolt tightened fixed the problem.

Well Craig, I cut the cub metal off the hood. Wasnt feeling it after letting it sit and ferment. I got the dash riser and dash panel mounted just need to weld the hood hinge panel in. Also got to fire up the motor just long enough to make sure it ran. Hope to start kicking it up a notch soon. Been too hot and I have been making "pumpkins" for the guys at work.

Yes...but if you still have the trans attached to the frame...it works both ways. I always like being on top. I lied...I like the bottom also. Best answer...just like taping in a bearing. I use a punch (with a good edge)...you can see where you need to tap it and you can see if it is going in straight.

Yeah, 3m deluxe weatherstrip adhesive. even comes in a red and white tube. I used some to glue the rubber trim back onto a car door once... was still holding when i sold it tractor is looking good!

Stipeze stripper, sandblaster and the DA.

bought bronze flanged bushings at ACE hardware. For the pedals but they had other sizes
