I don't need to tell you folks about the quality of Terry's decals. I've had my eye on this set for a long time and I finally pulled the trigger. It didn't take long this morning to put them on. I also picked up some wheel weight decals for a set that I'll be putting on this tractor shortly. Thanks for the outstanding decals Terry!

So I picked this up Thursday and was going to post it earlier for your viewing pleasure but Christmas parties and such got in the way a bit. So here it is my new Charger 10 Auto.

Had the family upstate for the weekend. 6" of ice and snow was already on the ground. Pretty solid 2' high plow banks around the house. It was an unwelcoming winter wonderland. When I bought the blower the PO told me it would throw 4" rocks. Well that's not to far off.... I broke up several plow banks with the loader and followed with the blower. It sounded like a refrigerator making crushed ice. Wasn't pretty but she got it done. Happy New Year everyone!!!

Thanks for the kind words Bob. Wish I were in Florida right now. Getting pretty chilly here in the Midwest this week.

Have used several sets of Terry's decals. Great, artistic, beautiful! Couldn't restore any Horse without Terry's help!

Hello to the board, I'm new to the board but have been watching for a few months now. Last summer I acquired a 416-8 Toro Wheel Horse with a recycler mowing deck, two stage snow blower and rototiller attachment. I usually plow snow with my pickup truck but I had to try the snowblower out. So here is a short video of me and the Toro. Hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZTM640L608

Stickers came today . This will be the only one on my completely "de badged" Renegade . Thank you Sir , A quality job . -Gene

Terry is no doubt the best there is. Everything I have gotten from him couldn't be any better.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I saw the forecast for South Bend. Single digits That same front will make it down here and Our highs will be in the 50's a couple days. Believe me, I'm not complaining one bit. I saw those on your beautiful restoration Nick. That was the first time I saw them on a tractor except for the video on Terry's site. I showed my wife your 416 and she loved it too. We also need to mention that these decals are crazy easy to work with. They seem to defy those little air bubbles.

I put that same set on my 416-H and they really set it off. Terry is the man and always gets it right. I liked them so much I bought two more sets for other tractors I have to refurbish.

Looks nice Bob.

here are a few pictures of my first collector tractor that i picked up around 16 or so years ago... it turns alot of heads when it comes out of the shed and makes it to a show. i got it out of a garage sale, at the time for my son to drive. my son is 18 yo and is building a 654 to carry on the tradition

The C81 that I just recently got only really had one issue,a funny looking hub repair. As I leaving the shop this evening,I thought I would take a look. Which then led to a quick hub swap. Once the tractor was jacked up I could turn the hub 2 inches or so back and fourth on the axle before it would stop. The hub was held in place with a collar and set screw on each side. I had a older set of hubs on the shelf so it doesn't match the other side but it has good hubs on both sides now. I was amazed when I got the hub off,the axle and key were both fine.

From a newbie with an RJ-58 and a few questions. I’m the new guy on the block and have just about completed my first attempt at a rebuild, of sorts, of a 1958 RJ-58. It had been sitting outdoors under a tree for many years in the mountains of Colorado. When I first saw it I thought it was a peddle toy. Then I saw the engine and I thought this would be a fun restoration project, something that I’ve never attempted before. After completely dissembling it, I realized a professional restoration was out of my league. I needed access to a machine shop and a professional body shop. So I just decided to clean it up as best as I could, get a few of the real rusty parts sandblasted with AL oxide, paint it, and put it back together. After tightening up a few magneto wires under the Kohler K91 flywheel and reassembling everything, the motor started right up – amazing. I’ve been looking through the Q & A forums to see if anyone has had the same problems as I have. No luck, so hopefully someone can help me out. I’ve found that a 29†drive belt is “about†the right size. However, when the motor is running, it’s spinning the belt and the transmission pulley, even with the clutch peddle depressed. So, I need to start the engine in gear with the clutch peddle depressed. My neighbor said if I ran the Horse up and down the driveway several times (0.4 miles for one round trip) the belt would stretch enough so that it would probably slide over the transmission pulley without spinning it. So far, I’ve completed only one trip without any signs of improvement. My second problem is with the very loosy-goosy steering. If I turn all the way to the right or left, the front wheels lock up and I can only go in circles until I stop and kick the wheels back into the forward position. I’m guessing this is because of very worn parts. Short of welding some stops somewhere to prevent over steering, does anyone have some other suggestions as to how to deal with the funny steering? Jon

I will as soon as the dealer is finished with the EFI diagnostics & it's back home safe & sound in MY garage .

Bob, the decals are the icing on the cake. Looks superb. Glenn

If it ever snows this winter I will be using this 314 H. In all honesty I don't want the snow unless its on a weekend. Work day snow storms no good.

Ive got 2 sets of Terry's and quality is superb! Looks great Bob!!

Brian, here are three pics of the steering pieces before I cleaned them up. The tie rod (part # 12) was bent and I straightened it before re-assembling. I'm just assuming it was straight when it was new. The steering link (part #78) is also bent, somewhat. Don't know if it's supposed to be that way but I left the slight bend in it. Maybe that's where the problem lies. Jon

drool, slobber

WITHOUT DECK

We got the snow today.

Wonder, can you take down the Christmas decorations for me too?

I love that RJ Craig! Glad you got some snow to play in! :-P

Ok, I think it is time that my C-165 get a fresh change of work clothes. I've had her since I was thirteen, and seventeen years later I feel that she has deserved a makeover: rebuilt engine, new ag tires on all four corners, new paint and decals, new Hobbs hour meter, and a custom hitch I made from an extra hitch off my Crown Victoria.

Should have done this a long time ago but I'm Zack from Boyce, Va I have 9 horses I love this site very nice helpfully people on here

I've been a Wheel Horse Dealer since 1979. I still have (12) 48"Snow/Dozer Blades still available Model # 79364. I am selling these for $250 ea. Well under dealer cost and a steal from the MSRP of $699, I got stuck with a shipment of 26 8 years ago.They fit all CSeries-300Series-400Series and some 500Series but adaptor kit needed You can reach me at Gaithersburg Rental 219 E Diamond Ave Gaithersburg, Md 20877 301-926-0044 mon-sat 730-530

Wheel horse ploughs are hard to come by in the UK, so we thought we'd make something else fit. My son bought a plough cheap at a show, finally got round to modifying it to clevis mount. Firstly making the mount from a few chunky bits of metal from Doug And then making the handle Actually set it at the side of my mahoooosive wheel horse 12" plough... Other than size the geometry is about the same It fits perfectly, just needs a rock shaft and lift mechanism.... Cue big piece of flat bar, made to fit around the bits in a C121 And a new homemade rock shaft and bushes Works perfectly Ewan will be pleased

I've never seen one worn that bad Rusty. Good thing is that it came off easy right?

ya real lucky,its no fun putting in an axle

6-12 in rear and some white paint all around

Hold on I have got to get my sunglasses. Very nice, Mark.

When you say you have no power, what do you mean? When turning the key do any of the gages move. Do the lights work?

I have a C-81 with the 8hp Kohler engine that ran perfectly this summer. It would not start in December. Turned out the float needle was stuck and fuel could not get into the carburetor. I had to remove the carburetor from the block in order to drop the bowl to loosen up the float needle. There were also about a 1/4 teaspoon of ethanol particles in the bowl that i dumped out. A little moisture absorbed by the ethanol along with cold weather apparently did it. Once I got the float needle loosened up it ran fine without further cleaning or overhauling the carburetor. Your symptoms are very typical for a dirty 520 carburetor. It is amazing that you have gone 10 years without a problem. Some get away with just taking the top off the carburetor and clean what you can get to without removing the carburetor. The JD manual says you can use crows foot wrenches to remove the carburetor without removing the intake and exhaust manifolds. My 520 HC ran perfectly and then all of a sudden developed the symptoms you described. I removed and cleaned the carburetor and then it ran fine afterwards. I can buy ethanol free fuel in NY state and that is all I use now. I also keep spare carburetors ready to go so I can swap and go and clean later.

I have found E-Bay to be the best place to find them.

Mine doe the same thing when I turn the key off. What do you guys think? LOl

Wow Steve that's awful generous of you. But a Chevy Diesel, boat and trailer AND that beautiful Johnson 18 that I always wanted for the "Little Guy"? Are you sure? Cuz I'm loading up right now.

Here are some more pictures of the progress I made in the last couple days. I just dry-fitted the sheet metal bits on there just to get a feel for the one-inch lift I did on the fenders because I wasn't so sure how well the rear tires would clear. I'm going to be applying some grip tape on the foot rests but I'm not sure if I should do only the bottom section or continue it all the way up to the back of the footrest, by the front of the rear fender. Also, I'm tossing around the idea of painting the 'superstructure', or gauge tower black to match the paint scheme of the 3,4,5-hundred series. Any thoughts?

In the video it looks like he put it back inside dried it down and waxed it. I guess we can't get him for animal cruelty.

Well I picked upi the saw this morning as planned. Boy oh Boy was I ever impressed with the way this saw is built! Thank goodness it has a decompression lever on it as the engine has some serious compression. I was not able to put it to work today due to the rainy weather, but certainly will the first chance I get. I did let it run under roof in the carport for about 20 minutes. I could feel the engine begin to break in. Its revs clean and crisp. Very smooth and powerful. The chain oiler is adjustable, and in the factory setting the chain gets plenty of oil on the 24" bar. Here is a pic of it on the workbench at my Dealers shop.

maybe this will help

As you have shown in the picture you posted, the wire with the push connector goes on the trigger terminal. The main power feed wire to the fuse holder and the positive battery cable go on one large post. The starter motor cable goes on the other large post.

No apology needed. We all think a like anyway. Most of the time.... lol. I was just glad to see some pictures of someone else that has done what I have been thinking about doing to my GT14. With some time taken and paint, no one would every no the difference.

I'm not a betting man, but after seeing the underside of that hood I would put money on that tractor being the one I rescued a long time ago. It left here around 5 years ago and went to Ft. Wayne, IN. The only picture I could find: Here's a video:

I usually add mine on top.

I did manage to put the wheel weights on my 314 -8 for added traction. I may end up putting on the rubber tire chains too before it's all over this winter!

Tough one this.... Last year it was this And here's the video http://youtu.be/qRBEHP8sjW4 It's a tough one for this winter, neither Bendy or C4 will take the plough.... Unless I make some serious modifications :)
