5 pointsIt depends on what I'm using it for: Overall work and long life Kohler Money no object quality and long life Honda Easy starting and light weight Briggs If I have money and all the time in the world to fix it Onan If I need a good boat anchor ( Because of it's weight not it's quality) Wisconsin If I was giving the piece of equipment to my brother in law Tecky

4 pointsi get to redeem benefits on my man card by doing housework........

4 points1. Kohler, reliability and parts availability 2. Honda, Reliability and durability 3. Onan, Torque 4. Tecumseh, If Tecumseh still built engines and made a twin it would give you twice the problems. 5. Wisconsin, An 18 horse Wisconsin twin is about the size and weight of a VW beetle.

3 pointsMartin, all I can say is Thank you!! I made the Final cut! Now you know I'm going to have to buy two calendars, one that will be open all year long on the month of May and then one to actually use. They both look awesome, a very Nice job. As always, Terry Dennis and yourself put out Top Notch work!!!

2 pointsAll my valve stems are to the inside. Why? Who knows? At least I don't have to remove the WH hub caps.
-
2 pointsI thought of that, but if i were to reverse the rims they will hit on the fenders.

2 pointsSounds like its made itself a nice 35 amp heater from the fried components. (The 40A is probably what goes to the resistor fan control). Glad to hear it stopped burning! I had a similar experience: My first car I had a pretty nice sound system hooked up but I couldn't afford a nice sub woofer amplifier so I bought a Bazooka brand or something like that 700watt mono amp (fuses rated about 80amps). I am a amateur radio operator and my antenna wire ran through the trunk next to where the amp was mounted. Apparently Bazooka does not shield their amps from ANY RF noise because the MOMENT I transmitted on high power there was a LOUD THUMP. Moments later my car began to fill with smoke. I have to pull over on the side of the interstate and I dive in my trunk (i had a Bonneville and the amps were mounted against the back seat, I could have slept in that trunk) and start tearing out this amplifier that now has flames licking out of it. Luckily I always have my tools with me so I was able to toss it on the embankment before my whole car burned to the ground. The amp totally roasted itself in the grass.

2 pointsI've always heard, and it sounds logical, it was to accommodate wheel weights... Bit of a pain to get to them tho aint it?
-
2 pointsWhen I was selling these new tractors I asked one of the reps why they always put the stems on the inside of the wheels and he told me it was for cosmetic reasons. But I wished they'd forgot looks and just put them on the outside, so much easier to put air in!
-
2 pointsMaybe the valve steam is on the inside so you dont have to worry about wheel weights hitting them? Just a guess. Im probably wrong.
-
2 pointsOne question, is it Harbor Frieght? You'll be taking it back if it is, hope they don't mind the Red paint!! Friend bought one used it for about ten to fifteen minutes went back to it, turned it on and basically was a fishing hook (not big enough to be boat anchor) JUNK

2 pointscmon Craig, just admit that it was harder than you are letting on. you don't have to hand in your man card or anything........ you had to go and get a camera, walk up to the calendar pinned on the wall. then take a picture. just be honest and admit that it was a lot of effort. we won't think anything less of you. you probably even had a rest along the way, maybe cracked open a cold one , watched a little tv......
-
2 pointsExcellent calendars Martin. The pictures from the members that you used are Top shelf. I am humbled that you chose one of mine...Thank you. OK, take a deep breath and get out the lawn chair with your favorite cocktail. You deserve a nice long break. Outstanding Mate. All should know also, the calendars that Squonk will be taking orders for are professionally done...they are like if you bought them in a book store. :)

2 pointsWe are ready for snow in Central Pennsylvania. (Not Buffalo Snow)! I would like to say I won't need to even fire them up this year. I find the older I get, the less I deal with snow and cold weather!

2 pointsi have both versions of the 2015 calendar done. before i go any further i need to personally thank Terry Dennis for his help today on making both calendars more 'red square' than they were. i have limited editing privileges with the iPhoto calendar program i used to create them and needed some of Terry's expertise to make them look right. I'm having problems uploading them to the files section of the forum, so i uploaded them to google drive and the links to the files are below. you might get a warning that google can't scan these files for viruses because of their size. i didn't put any viruses in the files, but if you have virus software for your own piece of mind you can scan them if you really want to. i need to communicate with a moderator on whether I'm missing something here because the upload feature of the forum isn't letting me upload them to files section and i think its because of the files sizes. they both run about 28 MB. members, i hope you are all ok with my choices for the calendars, i thought long and hard about which pics to use, some pics were perfect except for a tire cut off or not enough background or something else. some of the pics weren't big enough and i asked for higher resolution shots, most of you were good about providing better pics. this task has definitely been an eyeopener for me, i am willing to do it again next year if you guys want me to, but I'm going to need more help from some of you with the quality of pics submitted. here you go...... calendar 1 https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-Mtecq9EjlkclV6Y1BlUHpzbVU calendar 2 https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-Mtecq9EjlkQzFUQzB0WXJHVG8

1 pointLess than 10 miles from home and I couldn't resist, been wanting one of these with the 16hp Kohler for some time. A little rough around the edges but with a little work everything will clean up just fine. Probably next winter's project.
-
1 pointpicked this up yesterday on Craigslist , it pays to keep checking. NOS Tecumseh HH60 short block less crankshaft. date on the packing list is 1978. i'll probably finish the assembly and use on my lawn ranger
-
1 pointNot enough linen beige on it. Either pin stripe it or get some of Terry's decals!
-
1 pointThose old Bonnies trunks were huge. All you needed was a set of ramps and you could haul all your horses to the show Luxo style!

1 pointI run both as well. Normally I use an in-line shutoff valve as well. This way I don't need to wear out the packing in the sediment bowl. Just my normal go at it.
-
1 pointupper most screw is the idle speed. i think i mentioned it in my original post but there you go again. turn it in to increase idle speed and turn out to decrease idle speed james
-
1 pointWell...maybe you're right Martin... I did have to vac the flat, wash some dishes, and get dinner going.
-
1 pointI don't know... them damn sediment bowls do impart the vintage look... but, seem to always develop fuel leaks of some type. Nothing worse than a in the garage overnight...and being awakened by a shrieking Mrs. in the middle of the night... with the dreaded..."I smell gas" "What? Are you trying to kill us?"

1 pointim not as good at this as TT, but i would say you have a 83 or 84 GT1600/1642. I'm fairly sure 82 was the only year that didn't have the hood catches, and the 18 hp twin engine only came with hydro and you have an 8 speed. I'm sure TT will be along to correct me if I'm wrong.

1 pointThe grandsons are eager for white wet stuff! The 416-8 is one favorite Horse! The boys are always stoppin' by, looking for anything they can do to help the herd. Yesterday tires were cleaned, wagon was spruced up. A trip to take a peek-a-boo of what might be new at TSC. I need a rest but these boys love Horses. Any helpful recommendations appreciated. The boys are so young to be addicted....

1 pointHere's more pics today one of these pictures better be on a wheel horse calendar if not on selling all my Wheel horses and buying John deere just kidding lol. We finally ended up with 70 inches
-
1 pointI have my SK-486 ready to go and used it this morning. The blower is an earlier 32" inch model (36" at the widest point) that has been cobbled up and converted over to a tach-a-matic setup. This setup actually works really good and has no issues other than being a little ugly. I used the blower all last winter on my C-81 with no troubles other than having to spend most of the time in low range for the 8 horse. The 16 horse is going to handle the task a lot better this year.
-
1 pointGeno, got your PM. The only one of these dates that is a remote possibility would be Dec. 6th as I go out of town for the Thanksgiving holidays to the St. Louis area. So if that date is the chosen one, I would have about a 50/50 chance of being able to make it. I made the big show in PA and about 8 local shows this year in Indiana. I love to get together and shoot the breeze about horses but the holiday season is a very busy time for my family.
