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....

Bag balm or wool fat for me !!

Hey now... it's gotta match the shelves.

Plans to fix those Brian?

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?

They might pull off real easy... However the last four I did were tough, if the hub moves in the it's likely there's some wallow which can chew things up. My last one looked like this. I had to cut a new keyway The chewed up bit can really make it bind and it takes tons of force to pull them off :(

Geno that light kit looks horrible on their, ship it up to CT and I'll put it on mine:p Nice find tho, nice little guy,

I did that before we talked Geno. It got everything clean but left a finish not as smooth as I thought it would. I am going to do another piece and use it as a test. I will prime it and then paint it to see how it turns out. Could be I am just complaining about nothing.

520 drag races!

I love my B-60 simple good looking pull start is nice not having to buy battery's and its always fun when you accomplish a big job with a little kohler

B80, as was mentioned. Perfect balance of power, size, weight,

He might have meant stronger because of the gearing. When you change the gearing so your top speed goes from 7 down to 5mph then you have increased your maximum torque by that much through the whole range. So stronger as in more torque hitting the ground, not necessarily longer lasting or anything like that.

Ha! I am sure this has already been mentioned..... Clinton had Kenny G, but we got Kenny B! Rob

B/C Before Corporation takeover!

I have been thinking hard about what to name the 1267. It finally hit me yesterday. It's so obvious I can't believe it took so long. I had thought about "Steve" but then I'd have to plow with no socks on. So The 1267 is now " SQONK" in honor of the good time we had that day playing off of Steve's pronunciation of Squonk!

I have a 87 418-8 wheelhorse with a st 326 snow blower attachment and I need to know what belt to get for it. I was told a B series belt would work best and length Im guessing 62" is this right?

Might be a challenge to flip that one for profit.

i 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

Make sure the fuel filter is for use on an engine with a fuel pump. It does make a difference, I found out the hard way!

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.

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.
