So you think you've had a bad day?

A.J. three words for you. Etching, etching, etching!

Here's pics of my 45 minute ride around the tree farm today. Got the fancy yellow saddle on the horse and leaving the pony at home! And Back home again!

My "trailer queen" lol

squonk...gud thin I touk dat Roseetta coarse on Sqwounkinism...I wud hav a hard time wit out it. Hodge...we picked the same games...I can't lose any ground on you this week!!! Boy watch out...if Northwestern beats Nebraska...I called it 1st.

I almost had to toss a coin on Iowa/ Maryland but in the end the home field advantage wins out Minny ha ha, Marysvilleland, Oh that State, Mich mash St., Nebula braska (Squonkenese is pretty thick today!)

I bought a 520-HC a few years ago for $100 sight unseen and not running. Fixed the ignition problem (coil) and other little things and sold it for $800. If yours isn't repairable I see parts worth $400+. Remember ... "It takes money to make money". Buy, sell and buy again .... you'll end up with tractors that someone else paid for!

Desko...I think the "D" series horses use Sunstrand transmissions...while I have looked at some schematics of those, I have no idea what they look like inside or how they work. You will not get an argument from me on those. It's taken me about 4 years messing with the Wheel Horse transmissions to understand them, and I am still learning those. I would put myself in the category somewhere between "I have an idea" to "Knowledgeable "...that makes me "extremely dangerous".

Brrly, good idea. If you don't have the etching equipment, maybe a sand blaster? Make a mask with the WH logo on it and blast away. Try it on a piece of scrap metal first to make sure you like it.

Just had Rim Guard installed in my 24x12x12 HDAP's. Close to 7 gallons each tire with new metal valve stems. $56 out the door. Tires and rims before Rim Guard 34# each. After Rim Guard 106# each. Shop around for prices. My local Rim Guard dealer wanted $265 [emoji15]. I had to drive an hour away for a better price but it was well worth it. Call Rim Guard and they can give you dealers near you. These babies are heavy [emoji4] and will make a huge difference this winter.

Well when I pulled in to the property I realized I was going to get some seat time tonight. The leaves have begun to fall rather quickly. I could either let them all blow away OR I could hop on a Horse and pick them up with the sweeper. I chose the latter and enjoyed the ride! Here is the Commando 8 on leaf duty tonight. I sure hope there are some more leaves on the ground when I get home tomorrow night!

IT'S A PROBE... It's a Probe.. ... Their out there...Noooo ...

I know, but moisture will still find its way in. I have been doing electrical on autos for 40 years and I can always tell when a wire has been pierced.

I've thought of doing this too....but it might consist of only me out in my shed drinking beer and talking to myself...so, basically I have a meet and greet almost every night

Been looking for my first Wheel Horse and located just what I wanted. It's an 854. Like I was told on this forum, get ready for a road trip. So I did , my wife and I drove from Texas to Missouri and picked it up. We got home and I put a battery in it and it started right up, no smoke and it drives in all gears. Going to dig into it tomorrow to see just what I really have. The seller was nice and threw in an original pan seat . I'm happy with the 854 and will be asking a lot of questions of this forum. Thanks.

Hello all, Bought first B80 (1976) last week and and have it running already. Bought a Raider 10 I think this week, not running, have not looked at it yet. Seems like a very good site.

On the tire question, you basically have 3 choices: turf, ags or HDAP. I chose HDAPs because they have more traction than turfs, but don't tear the yard up like ags can if the yard is soft. On my C-101, I use HDAPs and 40# cast iron weights. With the 25# Wheel Horse front weights, I had no problems plowing my driveway last winter. I was afraid that chains would mark up my driveway, and the HDAPs with weights are a good alternative.

Whoa! Here's to a speedy recovery. I'm a lineman and have spent countless hours climbing. One of my coworkers out it best years ago when his wife asked him to clean the gutters. "I get my thrills @ 55' go call a gutter cleaner." Needless to say I too pay someone. I hate climbing ladders on houses. Utility poles are much easier. Prayers going out to your son.

That's nice I like the seat

I'll tell you that I own a 520Lxi with a few attachments and I wouldn't trade it for the world. If anything, I would buy another one if I find one to pop up around my area. My 520Lxi is the one that was rebuilt on YouTube and it is imaged on Toro's Facebook pictures. It is such a powerful machine runs so smoothly. It was probably one of the best Wheel Horse tractors built in my opinion. My dad owns one of the 1991 416s and there is no comparison. The ride, quietness, and sure performance is second to none in this series. Hope you can grab one up! Here is an image of my 520 Lxi from the Toro Facebook page...

Here's some pictures of the "beast"

It is a cozy little nook. If i only had the tractor guys to bs with haha. Everyone around here is into there atv's or cars.

I'll post a few I took. Some may be duplicates though.

Yes it uses a sunstrand and has an 8 pinion diff and I think that makes most of us extremely dangerous! :)

Minnesota, Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan St, Nebraska. Always go Rutgers!

For touch up... it's just trial and error. Everyone's red fades differently. Here's the main paint topic... and yes, this is probably the single most asked question behind "What's the belt number for......?"

Oh yeah! They do have a store .... they sell worms!

Ahh yes...Cusat's Cafe in Hazleton Pa! Peppers and eggs with hot Italian sausage and Italian bread toast! My mouth now waters!!! Lol! :-)

=========================================== No, not as yet. The original engine was a 2 shaft Tecumseh H-60. The new engine is a 346cc 11hp unit. I modified it into a 2 shaft engine. I just put a Predator 212cc engine on a Jake Imperial 626. I did winterize that one. Instead of re-jetting the carb and or, adding a heat box, I bought a carb with the adjustable low speed jet. I opened the stock .028" high speed jet to .0469" (#55 Drill). I then added an adjustable high speed needle to the carb. I also designed an adjustable system to draw hot air from the muffler, directly into the carb, without the need for a heat box. Can`t really put it to a test, until I get some cold weather. Right now, I have the engine running so smooth, that it sounds like an electric motor. If the cold weather test works out, I will do the same to the 346cc engine . As for the Lombard name, all the ID tags and the decals on mine, say it was made by American Lincoln Corp.. I know that American Lincoln bought all, or part of Lombard. However, I have never been able to find anything that says the Lombard ever made snow blowers at all. Have only found 2 others like mine on the whole internet, and both had American Lincoln decals on them. -- John

Ok - now thems is wrestlin words where I come from... All in! Weigh ins at 12 noon sharp! There will be no wrestle backs for this weeks match. If anyone has any concerns of their current physical state, then please step aside, and let the real men decide who is champ!

I do not prefer the gear reduction steering, just my opinion. unless I had a FEL or 2 stage blower. Swept axle is really just for the 60inch deck, if you are not using one, it really just looks meaner with that wide stance. not many Wheel Horses down in your neck of the woods, so consider all the options. with that low of hours (if the hour meter is really working) good compression on both cylinders, etc..it could be just a simple Molex 9 pin issue or something, I love my 1989 520. at idle it sounds like a Harley and best of all, no Toro stickers on it. just saying..if it was up here, it would be gone maybe its just me or the pictures but does it looks like the front wheels are a tad small or the rears are big?

Ya, but Iowa is a gated community...I am not sure if Nebraska is not the same way.

They say donuts make strange bedfellows. I read somewhere that Jack frost donuts is offering a promotional item this week with a baker's dozen.. Maybe you could drop by Brrly's to watch the game.

I don't know John. You could be in trouble this week. You and I have picked the same teams this week and you see where I'm at.

More cool ones, thanks again. If this keeps up I'll know you need something to do, so you're welcome to come to my place.

Glen, thanks for posting these pics and the ones in your other thread. Please continue to post what you find and share them with us. It's nice to have a little art and culture even on a tractor forum. Kinda spruces up the place..

Naahhh... probably just some good ol' boy... who was just lookin' out for his brothers.

Yep Steve has a nose like a Beagle.When it come to eats, he can sniff one out in a perfect vacuum!

The 10-pinion is an offset differential and requires 2 different length axle's..I have never tried to put one in an 8-pinion trans..the 11-44 toothe gear is different..the 10-pinion trans has the brake hub mounted to that gear and the 8-pinion it is mounted on the 3/4 shaft 3 gear cluster shaft..I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work but I have not done that kind of swap yet...I do have a couple 10-pinion diffs if needed.

Grilled to perfection in a vat of grease! Serious, Ohio is home of the Origional White Castle. My Tahoe diverts all routes that even go by a White Castle.

Nothing that is sticking, it's covered in Armour All. 8 beams are done, putting the last coat on the rest now. It's getting done tonight if it kills me.

Here goes: Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan State, Nebraska Not B1G but the Seminoles are going down this week

Well, after 2 long Saturdays, I finally made it through, the 100 plus branches, limbs and shredding material..... All I can say is the Bolens handled it with authority. Even when I dropped a chunk of wood into the shredder. It managed to handle the chunk of wood, but in the process, it bent the grate slightly causing 2 blades to rub. I took the grate off, bent it back, and was back in business. The chunk of wood was probably close to a 4.5"w x 5"l.... I was suprised at the complete and total shredding this thing does...... Anyway, after 2 long Saturdays, the Bolens is done for the year. I'll clean it up and either put new blades on it, or have these sharpened... I do have 24 new hammers for the mill, but I thought about trying to sharpen them some.... Well over 100 cubic feet of wood chips and mulch was pushed out of the Bolens.... All the neighbor's flower beds have been covered and our back yard, under the pine tree, has about 5" of wood chips..... Since grass does not grow under the pine tree, we decided to bed the area with wood chips... Rob

Just need to drill some holes and counter bore them. And slap some shiny paint on them. And on the tractor!

Oh kill me now.

I would pass if your looking to pull heavy stuff. Find a C series or a 300-400 series machine for the hard work and let the Murray have the grass duty. Mike..........

Here is a not quite right WH I did for my Daughter, mostly a restore with a bit of spin on the color. I know it's not done in this pic but I love it for the color the camera got it just right here with the flash.

Somehow I wonder if I got this right or not?
