1950 Mercury 2 door

This popped up on ebay the other day and I made what I felt was a decent offer and the seller accepted so it is on the way to be hung in the new barn. I believe it is a true dealer sign however not sure what vintage? It is about 3 ft wide. If anyone has any information on it. please let me know. Thanks- ps- the sign is porcelin and one sided

Finally picked it up today. 1987 model with the M16S Kohler. It's no cream puff, but there's still a lot of work left in her! More pics to come, as it was dark and raining when I got her home.

at first I thought - well ........ sandals, pick axe , hair and belt drives, 60 volts dc , undersize wiring and battery acid there's just way too much in the way of safety advice not to pass this on (I know its 12 minutes of your life you will not get back but you have to watch the full video to benefit from the wisdom contained there in).

I bought my first WH at the end of last summer when I moved into a new house with a small (but hilly) yard. It's a 92-11bf01 in running survivor shape. Apparently this thing has lived it's whole life on my street but passed threw a few different hands. It made the last couple of cuts just fine last year. After a couple of carb adjustments, and a new acc drive belt it made it's first couple this year. The only things I've noticed so far are the obvious lack of a seat cushion, no third gear engagement at all, and somebody has rednecked my 95-36rx01 deck. I'd like to get a new seat for it, maybe one that sits a little bit further back as I'm a little over 6' and I'd like to get the deck straightened out. Besides grinding the welds out will I need a tensioner?

Picked these up yesterday:C120 auto SK486 The paint isn't too bad on the 120 but everything is froze up. Motor turns over, full of mice nest. The 486 has a few chips but i Think it will polish up pretty nice.

Or just remind him about the CROOKED parking brake decal....

.I see you went with a crew cab Brian. Are Acorn and RJ going to the show?

I have been gone a while, Moved to the Bahamas and having fun fishing... Just wanted to say hello to all my friends on the Forum... Steven

How could he be happy with that?

Since you all are throwing up your work horses, I figure I would throw another brand into the mix. (I am loyal to my brand, but I DO respect and enjoy all decently built pickup trucks. No hate here) She doesn't ever stay clean for too long 2008 I purchased in 2010. Only 2WD but I got it at a price in which I could trade it in today for over 70% of what I paid.

Great Horse of course! My '85 416-8 is a go-to Stallion. Kept indoors, maintained, the Horse is always ready to wo.....wo.....work! Update your post as you get workin'!

So I just picked up this b60 that looks to be somewhat of a mutt. It has a k181 electric start, has different early 80's sticker on the fenders, sharpie making the 6 an 8 on the dash tower and it also says 8speed but it's only a 4 speed. Any info anyone has whould be great Pic

What, Brian too? You guys with all your current shape GM trucks, first it was Steve rubbing it in with his 14 last year, now you guys with your 15s..... (Brian, i assume yours is a 15?) Im posting a pic of my 13 "old model' to try and fight back all you guys with your 'cutting edge' trucks..... I recommend you do the same Denny, don't just stand back and let them kick sand in our faces!!!!!

Looks great for sure however for the record....... if you ever give me crap about oiling up my patina tractors I have your quote...."finished waxing the transmission and frame" ...... thanks for the ammo ! lol

Is that white wire from the A terminal of the switch going to the little post on the solenoid? If so, disconnect it. Only one small post on the solenoid will trigger it when 12v + is supplied. Make sure that small post is connected to the S of the switch. The other small post is not used at all. Where does that green wire to the B (battery) on the switch come from?

1953 Chevy Belair.. (borrowed picture)

I have amassed a collection of five 520H Wheel Horses along with a 312A, 416-8 and a couple of vertical shaft riding mowers. Three of the 520's are the later swept axle models with the other two being early straight axles. I purchased the first one about three years ago and paid too much for it, but just had to have one, and they aren't easy to find in Australia - although I have seen quite a few for sale since. My first 520 was in generally good condition, although it had a significant transmission oil leak and the seat was wobbly due in part to a broken tab on the upstand. A 60" deck in good condition came on the tractor. Inspired by some of the restorations on Red Square and my earlier rebuild of my 416-8 I decided to try and refurbish it. I started by completely dismantling the machine and had lot of the parts powder coated. I had a short thread in "Transmissions and transaxles" a couple of years ago when I split the transmission and checked the internals as well as replaced the seals. The bearings, gears and differential were all still perfect. The oil leak was found to have been caused by the oil temp sensor probe which had split. After I got the transmission back together I refitted it to the frame and the project was put aside. I just looked back, and was surprised to see it was two years ago. I did bits and pieces but not a lot of progress was made in between. However, over the past couple of weekends I have been able to make some headway. Frame assembly commenced. Transmission nearly ready to refit. ...more to come.

This was on the local news this morning. Video of a moose checking out a Wheel Horse and snowblower. http://www.myfoxboston.com/clip/11387709/moose-on-the-loose-chimps-down-drones The following video is also cool. Shows a chimp knocking down a drone with a stick

I've already taken a few bolts out I thought were drains. I figured it might be a good time to stop and ask questions before I mess something up.

Well, it turns out that you can't get the chrome anymore. I actually called Toro direct. Only black. I'm assuming there's no chance I'll find a mint used one so I'll probably just buy the black one. I'll see how it looks. I think the black will look nice too. Otherwise, maybe Ill have it ceramic coated.

Easily size 12EE's.

crooked decals

I was going to take Pic's as we were tearing it down, but my camera batteries were dead. I'll get some Pic's this weekend. I still need to get the Clutch Arm apart and out of the way. I am debating about taking the front axil off, If I can work around it. Mark

By the way Matt, that is lookin pretty Bad To The Bone.. The chrome heat shield is going to really set it off.

Maybe you should bid like $300,000 or so for it?

Anyone check the feet on the eaglets. ?

Finally got around to working on it.It was a bad solenoid. That's the first time I've had a solenoid go bad that I could'nt jump to make it work.

Yes. Yes I did. 3 hours and 50 lbs of /16th 6013 rod later..... what has been seen cannot be unseen. The homemade contactor switch made from the 2x10, door hinge and Kmart flat blade screwdriver is - forgive the pun - burned into my brain.

From my notes the 6749 wheel is 1-1/2" wide x 5-1/2" diameter - I don't recall the source of this. Toro wants about $62 each for this one. The 2877 wheel has been replaced by Toro 110506 and is 1-3/4" wide x 6" diameter https://www.bantasaw.com/catalog/viewproduct.asp?i=&p=359 Garry

welded a 1/8" thick plate on the inside and redrilled holes

Good evening. Just thought i'd add a wishy washy photo of the badge that was fixed on to the bonnet of the RJ. Trying to catch the light just right to make it readable was awkward. I've also added it to the UK dealer section. Regards, Philip

Good evening all, I just about managed to get a semi decent photo today of the badge that was attached to my RJ58/59. It is for Garden Machinery Ltd of Bath Road, Slough in Bucks. Sorry if it hasn't come out to well; trying to catch the light just right on a faint badge was a tad difficult.

Hockey teams in Nashville, Anaheim, Florida What's this world coming too. Imagine being a kid growing up a hockey fan there and having to pay to use a commercial rink to play instead of being able to use a frozen pond. That's where Hockey starts. when I grew up we had a pond across the street we played on. I even plowed the snow off of it with my 604. 20 yrs ago that pond was filled in and there is a house on the spot now.

I've been working on this charger 10 for my dad its been almost a year sense I started on it he bought it off eBay and it was rusted and rough now its has a fresh coat of paint new decals and a 16hp Kohler bored over .10 new piston rings and rod valves and gov gear

Several accidents waiting to happen. Thanks for sharing Chuck.

Mike it's a 2015 double cab sierra 1500 Z71 4x4 w/ 5.3 V8 six speed transmission has remote start and trailer package with built in brake controller and backup camera Brian

HAAAAAAAAAA

Finished waxing the frame and transmission, got the wheels all painted and bolted on with the lower front spindles and installed my new muffler with the tabs for the heat shield. Hope to have it finished in the next week or so.

Love the GMC's

Here is what it will be. The 753

I have a 1995 314H and install it under the seat with no problems. They push better than suck.

Final update on this project of which I am dedicating to my father he and my mother brought me into this world in 1964 and he left us on 9-29-14. I have always like the hood stand on the 64's and since I did not have a serial number for this one I made my own 92914 this tractor will always be close to my heart, this one is to date the best one I have restored. Dad if you are looking I hope you like this one. Will be taking this one to Pioneer Power this year and every year, as my father had come down to see us for the years I have been going, he loved to people watch and spend some time with the Wheel Horse faithful. Thanks Guys Enjoy and thanks for looking

I had a 74 Nova hatchback. It was blue with an inline 250 and a 3 speed auto....but with a set of rally rims and some air shocks it looked like a racecar ! After about 4 or 5 months I flipped it.....moved down to a 74 Vega GT next. Neither of these are pics of mine, just images I borrowed from Google....I gotta learn how to get my old snapshots made digital. Mike...........

I don't know about that. This beauty only cost me 50 bucks and it is also in showroom condition. Oh.....what! I mean its in bathroom condition! Matt! That machine you have is beautiful! No wonder it's being retired! Thanks for posting the pics!

Something like this 3,4,500 series tranny brace would take care of the problem too.

I'll use Rachael's two thumbs up, because hers look so much better than mine. Thanks guys.
