It's not doing any good to try to stop so what the @$!#. Got a call from Todd Pitts the other day and we had been talking about a bunch of stuff so he brought it up last night. The condition of this stuff is unreal. I cleaned a spot on the tiller with Windex and it looks almost new, there is still paint on the tines. I didn't think stuff was out there in this condition. Sandra says pressure washing is out of the question unless it gets warm so no pics of the cleaned up version. We got a 72 Bronco 14 auto with hydro lift + electric clutch, tiller, aerator, 11 more decks that are stacked up outside, the WHEZ Vac setup, and 2 more plows. I have 38 decks and 21 plows now, that should be some sort of record...

GM has some great year end deals going on now Karl.

Well I seen this wheel horse from the road way back up by this guy's house. I tried the old envelope trick in the mailbox Friday I got surprise call from the guy who own it. He didn't know what model it was neither did I thought it was a classic 310 from a distance. It ended up being a 1989 wheel horse HC with a 60inch deck. Under 300 hours if the odometer if is working right. I had the poker face on a got a great deal on it! Stole it for the price I got it for!! I try to deal with him more on the John Deere 410 trying to show him more interest in that tractor lol. But at the end I wanted the 520HC. The tractor would stay out all winter but now it has a barn...520hc are rare around here....

The day started out early ... just as the sun rose I was out working on my eh trailer.... have to be prepared when you venture into the territory of the he who dominates the WH market in this area ... a while back after talking with Geno about some other parts - he got to talking with me about a 520h he had .. it wasn't in the best shape but is mechanically sound - however he wanted to pull the motor for another tractor he had. A deal was struck ... I had a new project tractor - what that project is, I'm not saying yet So i've ventured to the dragons lair with my B80 & Plow (needed to try a NOS part to see if it would work before duplication) AND a 520H for a upcoming project... I know how ya'll want picture(s) .... (no comments about my 25.00 trailer please ... it'll get some TLC over the next few months Thanks Geno!! Appreciate the tractor and the time relaxing in your shop ... looking forward to the 6th!

That is a job for those who have the right set up. In the end the extra money spent will be well worth having someone else do it.

I'll tell ya, I had NO idea I had a broken spring, and if it weren't for the inspection I wouldn't have known either (until I took off the wheel). I routinely hookup 13,000 lbs to the back of this and what a disaster that would have been huh? The price of a new spring is in the $150 ball park (USA made via internet). The biggest issue with the install will be getting the shackle bolts out since I don't think that the impact wrench will fit in there with the bed on. I'm sure a little heat will help matters, but it looks like a several hour job per side. I'd have to imagine that a spring shop can do this in about an hour or so. If one side broke, I think that I'll replace both just because I really don't want to screw around with a truck that pulls heavy.

Here they are! Enjoy!

From today... Ventured into the dragons lair... Came back with mine plus one...

NOW MAKE A SET FOR THE FRONT WHEELS. NICE JOB WITH THE REARS. RUSS

Well this topic hits the nail right on the head. I just got my daugters jeep going again after finding the broken wire under the coil pack harness. JUST told my co worker that it so far has been good for two weeks and if it will just last till after Christmas I would be happy. Not 10 minutes after that she texts me a picture and asks what the green stuff is running out of her dash on the floorboard.I texted her back a you tube video of two guys tearing the dash out of a cherokee. Again, NOT HAPPY. I cant get a break. Karl, I feel your pain.

I worked on cars for 20 years for a living and I don't even change my own oil anymore. That shows you how much I enjoyed my old profession!👎

Dino, I'm thinking anywhere from $450 to $600 for both springs. If you talk wiith the guys at the shop Karl they might even be able to beef those springs up for you. If I remember correctly you pull a fifth wheel trailer and a lil extra beef never hurt No bobody as long as it works for you. It should be right about that amount even for the Big truck like Karl's. I would definitely take it to the shop like Stevebo and others have mentioned. Craig and Geno you can keep you garage mechanics corp and piles of chevy. I've got a Ford that will run circles around both. Sorry guys but I'm a dedicated Ford fan.

You guys talk about inspections as a bad thing ?? I look over my vehicles pretty good but every once in a blue moon the shop finds something wrong & I'm thankful for that . Driving a semi in the city for a living , I can't even begin to tell you all the crap I see . Mufflers held up with coat-hangers , missing / broken rear view mirrors . wheels wobbling & some to the point where I wonder if all the nuts ( no pun intended ) are tight . I even spotted a guy with lumber in his car sticking out the window , now what if the end of that wood clipped a sign or pole or something ? I have this to say , if i'm driving home or to work one day & someones wheel ( or other part) flies off their car & into my windshield , they better make sure I'm dead . 'Cause if I'm not , someone's gettin' a whoopin' ! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mrs Funengineer shoveled part of the drive yesterday for a little cardio workout. Here's a short video of me cleaning up. Just imagine it's red[emoji12] http://youtu.be/ii3t0p2SqDE Sent from my tractor seat.

Have this one from last winter... coming out the door.

Geno, you didn't just step in it, you completely fell into it!!! Thanks for the photos!

Reminds me of another acronym... WWSD - What Would the Skunk Do? oops, I mean...Squonk do?

Pretty sure you all are a bad influence. I just drove 150 miles on crappy roads to pick up some cheap mower decks that probably don't even fit my tractor. Question is, to adapt one to my B80, or just buy a tractor they fit??? [emoji3]

Here you go.Heres my one and only Wheel Horse!

Nice lookin' ... I've had my eye on a couple near here too... now, I just gotta find those envelopes.

I like the areator!

Like the guys say, get both springs replaced together...you won't regret it. I've been told a good spring shop can build those springs up on any size truck better than factory new....although its most likely a little more expensive. And I do believe that all trucks are nice these days....But I'm still a Ford guy my self. just bought my 5th ford truck with the ecoboost engine. out pulls my last f-150 that was equiped with a 5.4 v-8 Sorry,I know.... a little off topic

Geno is your signature up to date? Do you even know how many Wheelhorse tractors (near complete condition) you have? No I'm not asking if you want one from GR...

Gone but it lives in infamy on YouTube...

I have been looking for a Kohler K181 mechanical fuel pump rebuild kit and had no luck until now. I did a search here and came up empty. I did not want one of the new plastic pumps so I kept looking. I found a rebuild kit at http://wwwghope.com for $19.95. It came today, I installed it and I works just like the original. I was able to keep my original metal pump with the screw in hose fittings.

Not much to report guy's and girl's, life has been rather busy with this house move lark.. But I did manage to get my big bench cleared and re-skinned with a much thicker top Yes it will be gaining some extra legs to help hold it up.. A bit of a sad video for you.. And then it was gone!!!

Humm... tough looking Bronco there.

That will fix it for good.

8 years ago today, RedSquare was started. At the time it was called "whtractor.15.forumer.com" and started with just a few members. Happy 8 years RedSquare, things have come a long way, and really looking forward to the next 8 years! Oh, and happy 8 years Mike (Sparky), the only active member to be here since day 1!

Nice! Lucky to have someone looking out for them like that...

As usual Martin, you're doing a heck of a nice job... Can't wait to see it done. Love the powder...

I have finished a few more of these wood projects since I last posted that I will have to get pictures of. I worked on this one on and off for a few days this week. The wood for these two little projects came from scrap piece's from Stevebo's barn build.

Search for 'Horse Fixer' -- He did a "Snow Chucker" build several years ago on here -- And yes he has LIGHTS, and music, and thermometers, and music, and .......

Ya know that ole saying theres more then one way to skin a deer(most people say cat but I like cats to much ). Any way it gets fixed is a good fix and if your not doing any tough work with the tractor it probably doesn't even need to be fixed. I mowed and snowblowed a bunch before I realized mine was cracked. I realized when I made up a rear hitch for it and started to tow around my snowmobile trailer with sleds on it. Even then it just allowed the trans to twist enough to mess up the linkage. Since adding my bracket ive towed my 3 place sled trailer loaded so 2,000+lbs with 2-300lbs of tongue weight with no issues.....these tractors amaze me more and more everyday.

My opinion is to weld it.

Nah. It's just another way to keep the air inside the tires. The tires don't know any difference.

What difference does it make as long as they hold air. Any tire that wont hold air on my tractors get a tube.

John, the thing about people shots and it is not posed can be the stuff that books on coffee tables are made of. I put those in there to show what I think Jason is looking for and I picked those because you were in there. BTW...it is Jon Bell you are talking with in the 1st pic...the 2nd pic is you and Scott (Smoreau). I like to take a lot of people pictures, and they are all in the show threads....but like Jason says...if I made them Black & White...or Sepia, they would look like they were taken back in the day. Actually, I think the people shots are the most important, and catching people not posed at shows, is going to give this thread a certain look back in time with some of the members that have made this site what it is (showing the history of RS). Check this out...here is Ken B with his hat on in 2013...he did not wear his hat on Thursday in 2014...and no one recognized him. While this is a posed picture...it is a great shot of Ken. or this...

Congrats Duke! I hope you have a lot of time to work on the horses. I looked up my retirement portfolio and this is what it looked like..... Not happy, lol

That is waaay cool.

How about a 1960 Suburban with a Wheel Horse DP-861 disc?

Take a good look at those sprocket bearings! If that chain is like you said it was I bet those bearings aren't too far behind. I wouldn't even mess with that old chain. Replace it. If you don't you'll be fixing it in the middle of a snowstorm!

How about a cnc WH logo hub?

Nice...now can you bring your stuff over, and come do mine too?

Overall length is 5.25" with hole centers at 4". I just measured mine.
