I'll let you take mine for a ride Brian

Just went out and got this one 20 mins down the road. Need some help with this one, I have no idea what it is. All I know is it's a

Had some seat time today, great to work my horse again! Love the 48" plow!!

You guys need to work on the Horses more and get more petroleum products on you. No kidding, where I have oil or something petroleum on my hands about up to my elbows several days a week it takes care of it and those areas heal 10 times faster. Hence Neosporin - 25% petroleum products... From my hands to elbows are no problem, the rest is. I tried something someone told me about a few years back for the extreme cold and it helps with dryness as well. After you get done with a shower take a damp washrag and knock off most of the water but not all, immediately cover yourself in lotion, it locks in the moisture. I would have never believed it would make you feel much warmer and help with dryness but it does, you will tell it as soon as you step out of the shower. I only do it when it get's really cold, Sandra does it every day all Winter. Can't hurt to try.

Geno, that back rest is an add on option...they are worth a little bit of money too. The belt guard would of been cut up because of the motor swap, if you wanted to put a correct looking guard on it you would probably have to modify one. Also, here's a couple pictures of my 63 so you know what original is...however yours has a couple differences like the steering wheel, and column by the shifter

Why did I just sit here and watch the full 2:21 of that?

Only once Mike??? Here hold my beer and watch this. John, I told you Iowa was a 7-5 team...everybody knows it. Save me a piece of Caesar's Pizza...actually save me 2 pieces...MaMa needs new soles on her shoes. Hope you are not playing NIU!! Pizza Pizza... :) :)

I looked, and the sideplate bolts are 3/4" so maybe they are hitting on a gear making it not turn over. Also, found a couple of the bearings were sticking up just a little bit, but not much. I don't think it is in the axle bushings as they are kind of worn around there. Will probably try another assemble tonight with shorter bolts....and no silicone. lol

I went after some parts for my GT14 a few days ago and came home with this pretty straight C165 8 speed minus engine. I have a S7D cast iron recoil start 7 hp Wisconsin that I have been looking for a tractor to use it on. I think I will put it on this C165 for now.

Once again , kudos to the staff ! LOOKS GREAT !

Round fender lawn ranger ..... Issues for sure

I plan on being there Geno.

Looks real nice. Planning on painting all of the shop tools? If so, someone has too much time on their hands! I see some shelving in the back ground that needs to be red!

sounds like a good project when do you think you'll have it done Glenn

Hey Mike, your planning on eating donuts with Jim aren't you? You got lucky last week especially after you said Wisconsin could stay home and not play, and win. This week you say that Nebraska can stay home. Here's hoping that pick comes back and bites you right in the _ _ _!!! As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!!

Im going to have to go with a b-80 mostly due to the fact the motor is not overkill and for me has all the power for mowing and plowing that i would need.

My vote is for the 1976/1977 B/C Series (B-80, B-100, C-120, C-160), 8-Speeds. I think they were the best looking, and overall toughest machines made.

As some as you may know. I had a little Medical issue a week and a half ago. With winter approaching I knew it would be a challenge to get tractors ready for winter. Craig (AMC Rules) offered to come over and give me a hand. And when he found out I was looking for an older tractor to plow snow at work he offered me his 1267 at a great price. He drove the 5 HOURS ONE WAY! today. I needed a plow for it and Brian (buckrancher) had one and after driving from CT. and back yesterday he brought it up this morning. Both the tractor and plow needed some love and good old fashioned thrashing to make everything work. We filled all the tires with RV antifreeze but 1 of Craig's tires he wanted filled going to need a tube so out the fluid came. Stevasaurus called in on Skype and brought Jim D. along. We had a mini M & G going with a ton of laughs. We even got the plow on the tractor!!! Wife made chili and brownies and we let Steve and Jim know what they were missing. I can't thank Craig and Brian enough for all the help and Steve and Jim for the back row heckling. Here are some pics. I even got Craig on Elvis! I called it Sqonk Fest instead of Squonk Fest because SOMEONE has trouble with the letter U!

I would have to go with the 78-79 "C" series. They were a mix of the earlier C's and set the foundation for modern tractor all the way up until the end of the run of Wheel Horse's, They were the what you would call the bread and butter or Back Bone for Wheel Horse.

Hands down... 1976 or 77 C-160 Auto. 2nd choice... Bronco 14 circa 1972 73

Whats your email address Geno? Never mind. Here it is. Radio_8-6911.pdf

Well, all I know is when you two get done kicking up dust in King Solomon's Temple you might want to stumble outta there and get your picks in. There's a Friday deadline this week don't forget.

This is something you really need to think about... I know you have a young family and I thought I heard you might be looking to buy a new house. If you should run into a pinch for cash it may be hard to even break even. I have thought long and hard about buying this tractor myself over the past few yrs. (believe it or not I could come up with the cash to buy it) but when I ask myself would I be able to sell it and at least break even if I had to... That is a tough call... I know if I got it I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of lightin up a big fat cigar and firing that bad boy up and ridin it at the BIG SHOW, but then there goes the value.. Would you be able to resist the temptation of ridin it? I'm just trying to give you another angle to look at.. if you do get it I'll give you 100 bucks if I can take it for one lap around the infield....

E-BAY link deleted. Wisconsin engine RS-83 Sr. I'm going to start posting anything I think someone here would be interested in Just quick posts with links to items relevant to W/H and the RS as I go through my searches

Below are the top speeds on some of the C's and 520's. All have Eaton 1100 Hydros. In general, newer is slower These numbers are from the sales brochures: 1984 C-145 top speed 7.1 1984 C-175 top speed 7.1 1984 C-195 top speed 6.6 1988 520HC top speed 7.5 1988 520H top speed 6.4 1994 520H top speed 5.6 1995 520H top speed 5.6 The top speed on the 1980 C's and D's with the Sundstrand Hydros was 6.3. Except for the D Series which continued with the Sundstrand Hydros, 1980 was the last year of the Sundstrand Hydros for the other models and in 1980 there was a mix of Sundstand and Eaton Hydros.

what was left of the hole was opened up to a larger hole and a patch welded in ground and blended then a new 5/8" hole was drilled Brian

Bag balm or wool fat for me !!

I use utter balm

NOPE!!

I recently purchased a blasting cabinet and used it to clean paint and rust from two wheel. My problem is with the resulting finish of the wheels. They were left with a dull gray finish that is not smooth. I suspect it is the result of the material I used to clean the wheels. I was under the impression that glass beads would leave a clean, smooth finish. What I got was a gray, kind of gritty finish. Reminds me of what I got from using sand several years ago with a pressurized outdoor blaster. Am I expecting too much?

jimT1971 has one of them only his is a custom ride with a 8 speed and the larger early sixties round hood fenders

Page 5 of this manual shows the set screws on the outside. Installation is described because the pulley is not on it when new. Garry

Steve, these were not the original bolts. The bolts it had in it were about 6 different sizes, and none looked alike. I will run to tsc tonight and pick up some of the 1/2" bolts...they should have them.

You know I'm too busy for that! I just brought another one home...

Have you counted the days and hours yet?

Hey John! I wanted to make sure I got you riled up at least once this year!

But wouldn't a 520h from 89 be geared the same as a 97, unless it was a 520hc? No feathers ruffled just trying to get things straight.

very cool. The manual is already in the manual section for download. just search by radio.

I like it Geno. Love those colors.

SOOOOO, where are the PICS of it, at it's new HOME!!!! Rob

Well, that depends on what "best" refers to... Best mowing, best versatility, best riding comfort? If it is just versatility, I'd have to go with a "D" series. Rob

It's suppose to mount directly to the hood with no brackets

You have a 1966-67 snowthrower on a much later model tractor with a front quick hitch and there is no application charts for that combination. The correct snowthrower uses a 5/8" x 69" belt. Perhaps someone can measure the distance between the center of the pto and the center of the snowthrower shaft for a comparison to your measurement . The 69" belt minus 2x the difference should be close to what you need. Garry

My gosh Craig ! You sure your are not in Indiana looking at that beehive of good stuff???

Was out going... and in coming today.

There is only 1 Squonk...see if you can pick him out of this line up??? It is almost like catching a picture of Big Foot...and most scientists would say that the picture has been doctored...but I will say this is Squonk and the picture is original.

...and here's the star of today's show... ...the Skunk himself, just waiting for a snow flake.

I can't figure out how to get my Skype shots into my computer so I can show you guys. ...but thanks for the nice day and I will figure it out.

Thanks, I'm just getting to the stage of needing them! Plus enter SAVE10 and you get a discount . . . free shipping too

I was just looking at the Commando 8 in the shed Thursday with my 10 year old grandson. He says it's not too bad, and that we should be able to fix it up the next time he comes to spend the night. Really! I guess these kids today know everything. Although, as slow as my leg is taking to heal, I just might have the Commando done before the leg.
