Finally got about 2 hours of seat time in the 520.. that's in, not on. WE only got 3" here so I did mine and 4 neighbors.... 3"X5 = 15" The heated cab is the only way to go....26F outside and check it out

Next, I'm going to upgrade that to "expert status!" :-P

A change of colour, this came in to have a snow cutter fitted

6" of snow over night and 11 degrees. Plowed the drive out at 0600 this morning and with the CREE lamps I could actually see where I was going.

Here's WH 1990 pricing.

This is my new toy for moving what the 414-8 can't. 1948 ford 9n with a back blade. My new neighbor wanted to charge $60 per hour of plowing this winter. So I bought another tractor instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 312-8 with 6-12s on back Don't need chains or weights

pulled the horses out today for some sunshine but all we got was a cold windy day instead sorry about the pic guys I don't understand why it keeps turning them sideways

Well, I never posted photos of the full crew to ward off the snow. We were expecting a dusting so I decided to just use the C-105. It was actually over 3". Should have realized it when the schools closed for today. But still not enough to break out the diesel. I did three driveways and now realize what a difference a 48" blade vs. 42" blade makes, plus the the convenience and speed of a 5xi. Frozen feet but had some fun! By the way, no chains, Carlisles that need to be replaced, and a 30 degree driveway at my neighbor's house. Having four suitcase weights help. Easy application of power does the trick.

I did get out in the snow today! Drive only had about 2 1/2 to three inches but I was able to use the 314-8 Wheel Horse and 42 inch -five sector snowplow for the first time! It worked pretty well and I really like the extra angles on the five sector front end. Looking forward to some more use of the 314 this winter!

Here's a lil video. I started the blower in 12" snow plow ice bank which I'd cut through earlier. So it's probably half the width of the blower. All the while towing my 6 and 2.9 y/o boys. I was really proud of how well my oldest took care of the situation and helped lil bro. I think they rolled 4x that day. A dam fine day it was! https://vimeo.com/116033089

Make sure both surfaces are clean and smooth, and use nothing on the gasket. Just torque up the bolts and you should have no problems. Just my 2¢ worth.

Last Sunday I had some things to get at Lowe's, wife said it would give her time to sweep the floors so I went to Sears first to waste time to give her some.... looking at hand tools, was considering a nice rail of 1/4 inch drive deep well standard sockets, but first I heard a rumor little while back sears is now making all their hand tools in China - so I start picking things up, open ends , ratchets , sockets , kits ....all made in China ....price is still the same .....now what - I've spent over 25 years devoted to Sears made in America line and they do this ....yep, " totally disgusted " and I left the store with nothing ...went to Home Depot bought my made in America Channel lock pliers and a rail of 1/4 inch drive sockets made in China half the price of Craftsman .....wondering on the way home how many more American jobs went down the toilet to China ..... Made in China IT MAKES ME SICK

Happy New Year, now from Michigan! We came home just in time to get ready for more cold and snow. The mighty snow guns of Lake Michigan lake effect are starting to blow. While visiting our exchange daughter who was with my family last school year, her parents brought us to a friend's personal tractor museum in Duisberg. I was able to drive the Kramer and had a blast with my girls playing on many different makes and models. I didn't even know that Porsche made tractors, they were amazing to look at and inspect to say the least.

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

I really shouldn't have said little guy. This thing is built like a tank. This is by far the heaviest tractor I have had to push around.. That roller inside the deck is quite possibly the greatest thing about the tractor..

Watchin' the weather. Praying for y'all in the midwest, west, cold frigid. Feeling fairly cold but nothing compared to what a lot of y'all are dealing with. Praying for your safety nonstop. The Stallions in the barn need Horse blankets even though I turned their overhead LP gas heater on. Set their thermostat on 50°F and hired the grandsons to rub 'em down and lube their dozer linkages. Put chains on, "Get ready to mount the Horses boys!" The boys have been waitin' for this since March 2014. Ugh! I hate them! Maybe not.

ill be using this because I cant find a snow blade close to were I live

We got. m a y b e. a half inch. My son is on the wheel horse shovel. Cause its red. Maybe I should put a decal on it for him. Lol Glenn

Ed......that temp guage. Just like Florida in there. Glenn

I'm late to the party. I'll have the 314 chained and weighted sitting in the shed. Worked well last weekend in the iced up snow banks. And a pretty awesome time towing the kids around.

My custom 10 minute tall chute conversion worked surprisingly well. Now I have to shorten the chains on the other tractor with the blade on it and fix the angle rod.

Here in Central PA, the maintenance guys came by with a leaf blower! dry, fluffy snow but only 1 1/2 inchs so far. not "plow worthy" per the Wife. I got smart, since last time she plowed before I even got home, I have since took off the blade portion....

Hello All, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Happy (Insert Holiday Name Here) to any I have missed This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the WWI Christmas Day Truce a link explaining it is below.... We should never ever forget the men and women that sacrificed everything to make our lives better.... RIP to all.... Especially the 2 officers from NY and remember to thank every Veteran you see! Tony http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce TV commercial being played in Britain right now---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NWF2JBb1bvM

First thing you need to do is go to Walmart or similar store and buy a multimeter or at least a test light.

Pricy when new but, aren't Horses forever?

Once 'n awhile, grandson(s) say, "The Horses need to go outside for awhile." OK boys, let's do it.

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.

My Grandfather went into World War One at the age of 17. He was in the 113th Field Artillery, Battery C. He made it out alive, however his horse did not. It was shot out from under him in battle. Here is a pic of him with his brothrs in arms. He is fourth from the right on the top row. His name was Robert B. Neville Jr. He was born in 1900 and died in 1979.

try http://www.searchtempest.com just put in how many miles area you want to search......

For future reference, a picture of the aluminum bar and cable management.

my Snow Plow has been missing the angle lever since I got it ...NOT COOL! I'm not about to pony up the cash for a new one from Toro, and Honestly Geno just wants far too much for the NOS one he has So I made my own ... Nothing Spectacular but thought I'd share so others can duplicate... Simple stock steel from TSC a Vice and my Jewlers Torch. Oh and a Hammer and Adjustable Wrench (to aid in bending and squaring) Still have the squeeze lever to weld up and mount then she'll be all ready for paint.

Well the good news is due to you guys helping over the last few months I've gotten just about everything done to the 312 that needs to be done including a new chain for the blower! Last thing needed before spring is to rebuild the mower deck but I've got plenty of time for that. I've got a couple questions though.....they say to oil the chain and bearing on the blower with machine oil. What do you guys use and how do you do it? I've heard to use motor oil but I can't think you expect me to drizzle oil on the chain. That doesn't make sense. lol Also, what do you use on the auger and chute to keep the snow from sticking??? Thats all for now.....check out the video!

Chris, sorry just saw your post now, it is a 3m 2 part epoxy glue, part number is 08115, it is not very cheap though, we use it at our body shop so had it on hand, you may be able to take it to a shop and see if they wouldn't charge you much for just a little. I bought a sheet of metal the same thickness of the original straps and got had some pieces sheered to the correct width.

I did only go 3/4 or so throttle so potential for more. I wasn't hanging out outside its 5 degrees at the moment and I just finished putting it all together out there haha

18:00 update. Came home, put the blade back on and plowed our driveway and the elderly neighbors driveway. left the 416-H out in the cold for the rest of the week so I can get my car in. 5 tractors just don't fit.

If I have the gasket I use nothing if I don't have the gasket I use 518 loctite gasket maker works great its what I used when I used to build backhoe transmissions for CNH reman

Your TORO dealer is correct and I agree with rmaynard. The Wheel Horse company never used gasket seal and I do not either. If your surfaces are clean, you should have no problem. If you feel you must use a gasket sealer, I would use Copper Coat in a spray can and just spray the gasket with a light coat.

Duke is taking O because he can't spell to OSU either that or the keys are missing? Oh wait, I know, he thinks it means Oklahoma State? :laughing-rofl: Must be one of those Michigan things especially now since they finally got a coach which the ol' timer finally approves of. :ychain: Heres to OSU taking it all!!!! Go Buckeyes!!!!

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!!!

That should do nicley Chris. Rob

Ah, next time you come over on this side of the pond you're welcome to drop in Duisburg isn't that far from me. Those Porsche tractors are neat arent they, my uncle has one top Koen

Looks good! Nice find.

We got the snow today.

Stay out of Pennsylvania you HORSE THIEFS! Now with that out of the way.............................. if you use Search Tempest and you want to look at all of Pa at one time, I put Harrisburg's zip code in, (17112), as my location then search "Wheelhorse" within 200 miles. That will cover all the state and the borders of those "other" uncivilized lawless lands beyond!

It is illegal to transport Horses out of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sorry.

Day in and day out it would be an onan they never lack power and run good even if it is on one cylinder sometimes i have 1 kohler k161 and what a pain to get to start when it did run its out of a cub cadet 71 but ir simplicity is nice to work with other than thay pesky governor shaft that broke but ive ran broggs twins and i like them but they aren't a true commercial engine as there are no valve guides just block so when they egg out its off to the machine shop and techy just forget about them hated tjem and still do never would run right so 1)Onan, powerful and smooth 2)Briggs, you can rum the snot out of them and still run 3)Kohler, no complaints only have 1 so i can make a comment 4)Anything but techy you could give me something powerd by hamsters on wheels and it would be better and probably run longer too

Come on horse fans!!!!!! I know some of you have taken off the mower deck and have gotten your STALLION prepared for the !! . Keep the photos coming PLEASE!!! Also, once the, and I am going to be TOTALY incorrect on this comment, **** starts flying, I can't seem to find the WE WANT VIDEOS emoti con!!!!! We all enjoy sitting back and watching someone else remove the white stuff for a while!!! I am PUMPED about Duke.. Can't wait to see that first video.,. Hey, I get a better Idea,,,,, Duke, Wireless camera to your laptop, to a Skype!!! That would be ! Rob
