    A few pictures from the Dodge County Antique Power Club show held in Burnett Corners WI, first full weekend in Aug every year. Allis Chalmers and Oil Pull were the feature this year. The feature area was fairly large, hard to get it all in a pic. what you see is about 1/3 of them. Had never see an AC 190 Beachmaster before. These were marketed as an industrial tractor for parks and beaches This tractor would appeal to Ford fans and Hot Rodders. Nothing like a big block and a blower. A real good turn out for the Economy reunion. Kind of a crappy Bolens, (pun intended) Truthfully it was a neat ride sure got smiles from a lot of people. Wheel Horse's were well represented, among many other brands. Can't believe I walked past this one twice before I saw the Horse underneath. My big toys There were also steam tractors, a steam generator, saw mills, a pull (got a third w/ my 30), threshing, rock crushing, and many other demonstrations. Hope you like the partial tour.

    I've been eating my home grown tomatoes for about 3 weeks now. I always plant Early Girls, add a little Miracle Grow to the soil and have BLT's by the third week of July. As a matter of fact, we ate BLT sandwiches for supper tonight.

    I finally had my first tomato on my deck turn red. I have been watching it and waiting. It looked great after work today. It disappeared in the last hour. My stupid dog stole it. She picks raspberries too.

    Here in central Maryland, I live on a wooded lot, so there is no room for a real garden. We have an area where we took down several 90 ft. oak trees to get some sunlight. That area gets sun for about 8 hours. So, the plants grow very tall trying to compete with the trees to get more sunlight. Right now, they are about 8 feet tall.

    Thought this might be an interesting attachment to have for moving logs & rocks, seems like it could be modified for our tractors: https://youtu.be/tn_iGYg5cuI

    Glad to see you brought your sweet hot rod! Also glad the Toilet Tractor was equipped with a holding tank.

    Had the 161 out cleaning up around the place and then jumped on the 701 and went for a trip around the neighborhood. My wife just shakes her head. Someday I hope she understands.

    I always forget that NAPA has common bearings. Don't have to wait for the mailman to bring them and it seems theres always a NAPA on the way to somewhere! The last piece of the puzzle... since the steering wheel was froze on tight Denny had taken this apart and removed the column when I picked it up so ithe tractor would clear the cap in the truck. I attempted to remove the wheel but feared I would damage it so just refiinshed the wheel & left as is. Since the this was the first to come apart it was the last to go back together! The first ride!

    Anytime you sell things as a package the purchaser almost always gets a better deal. Ya gotta remember, your Mom wanted that stuff gone and selling it as a lot was the easiest route for her. I'd say all things considered she did okay...

    know the filling! One year the deer ate all of mine, did not get one. I installed and electric fence. My wife says; between the fence, special tractor with tiller, (wheel horse of course), fertilizer, lime etc. etc. etc. I could import tomatoes from Italy cheaper!

    Any time I get the chance to involve one of the grand kids in a project using tools I jump on it. Today the oldest was working with me and since she already knows and enjoys using power tools while working on my houses decided time she learned how to do a little wrenching. Was a simple enough job was only replacing the shifter boot. that went so good taught her how to drive roll pins while replacing tensioner knob on the mule drive.

    Not a lot to post tonight, as I'm swamped at work and I'm not getting home at my usual time. The only thing to show for tonight is the seat pan being first coated with white. The only other thing I did tonight was wire brush the top of the motor and clean the little bit of carbon off the top of the piston and valves. I also have the head soaking in some industrial strength aluminum cleaner, however it will have to be removed in about 15 minutes, as this stuff will eventually eat the aluminum if you're not careful. Good stuff, but very potent. I didn't take any pictures of the motor work as there wasn't enough progress to really be worth while showing. Sorry Guys!

    Welcome to the forum. That 104047 bushing is also used by other manufacturers so try a local repair shop. Dimensions and other part numbers/companies here https://www.bantasaw.com/catalog/viewproduct.asp?i=&p=220 Garry

    My father-in-law always told everybody he had a 20hp Kohler in his 1991 520H. He had the onan of course and I would correct him time after time...... Finally got tired of it and stopped correcting him. Ok, Bill, it's whatever you want it to be..............

    It's interesting to hear some of you in the NE are just getting you first tomato now. Ours in Central Texas are about burned up and done. Some years I nurse them through the heat and get a few more in the fall, but not this year. We had beautiful plants, lots of blooms but very few tomatoes the past 2 years.Two years ago the elderly neighbor that raised bees moved away. This year I only saw a bee once in my garden .......I suspect lots of blooms but no bees equals no tomatoes, or cucumbers or green beans. my root crops did well!

    Once the bulk of the paint was stripped off I used a stripper wheel on my 4" grinder to clean up the rest. Now it was time to lay down some primer. I chose Rustoleum products for the project and I was pleased with the results. After the appropriate drying time, I was ready to spray the Satin Black... It is always fun to get done with the paint because assembly is next!

    NAPA filter number is 1410. Since it has been setting that long I think new belts and a fuel line and filter would be a good idea too.

    The power of prayer is awesome! They had Dad all prepped for surgery this morning and the dr came in. He said the final blood tests showed no infection and the fluid drawn now shows no bacteria. Dad is coming home with a pic line for antibiotics as a precaution. So glad he is going to get to go home later! Just wanted to share the good news with everyone!!

    In addition to lots of photos, keep the sub assemblies separated and all the hardware associated with the subs in baggies. It used to be that the manuals had all the hardware listed by size/description. Now, I think they are all toro P/N's. However, I happen to have the IPL manual for the C141 so if you want a copy of the original circa 1978-79, pm me.

    Alright gentleman I have a progress report. This afternoon I went into the garage and removed the nearly 30 year old battery, replaced it with a fresh one and proceeded to test the coil following the steps mentioned above. I removed the plug and rotated the engine by hand while taking a voltage measurement across the coil and voila, the voltage was cycling as it should be. So I slapped a plug in that bad boy jumped across the solenoid ( it hasn't been replaced yet) and it fired after 2 seconds of cranking. So apparently that bad battery was completely shorted inside. That's my best guess anyway.

    The thing is, manufacturers are wanting the consumer to buy the SCUTs, so they're making their garden tractors to do less things. While once you could get a category 0 3 point hitch for the Deere 300s series as well as their 400 series, now they're only offering a limited category one 3 point hitch in the X700 series, but you can still get an integral hitch for the X500 series. And last year they lessen the frames on the X700 series and now don't offer a loader for that series. I think Cub Cadet and Kubota are doing the same, forcing the consumer to look into the SCUTs instead. Ingersoll, though while still making the proven designed tractors, are now not offering some attachments they once did. While once a garden tractor could do about anything, manufacturers want you to move up scale to more expensive machines, I think due to home owners who just want to mow the grass and remove snow from time to time. Also, while once an owner just had one machine to perform various tasks, owners now are getting zero turns to mow grass and a SCUT for the more strenuous duties.

    GhostRider---why "GhostRider" you might ask? I'm a product of the 70's and grew up in the 80's. I was at a very impressionable age when I first watched the movie "Top Gun". In the beginning of the film, the radio tower calls to Maverick as he is preparing to land his jet on the carrier. They call him, "GhostRider". That name stuck with me. My family really enjoyed westerns and music growing up and of course remember quite often listening to Johnny Cash's version of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". "Their brands were still on fire and their hooves where made of steel, Their horns were black and shiny, and their hot breath he could feel. A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky, For he heard the riders coming hard, he heard their mournful cry!" When I bought the 314-8, I was struggling with a name. I'm quirky enough to name all the tractors that I plan to keep unless no good name will stick. We currently have: RED, Casey, Cub-Z, the Mule, Cub-Kub, Grizzz, and BlackBeard! I wanted something to do with horses and I was drawn to Marty Robbins country song "Strawberry Roan". It has awesome words about an outlaw mustang bucking Bronc too tough to break. However, roan and Strawberry just aren't as cool as GhostRider! One night, I came across the 2007 movie. The film is ok, but I liked one of my favorite recent western actors Sam Elliott in the role of Carter Slade, the first Ghost Rider. Now I had a name! GhostRider would be a dark menacing beast! He had to look the part since he was already capable of acting the part. A horse that had black paint with red accents, there had to be a ghostly appearance to him and custom lettering... It was time for a fresh pair of clothes--TIME TO PAINT!

    So I got my second mow in today I figured out all the nooks and crannies of my yard with the new wheel horse so that's a good thing I just bought this house so I have to get use to the yard. The previous owners were gardening nuts when I say that I mean rosebushes Flowers galore. I've also had to hull in two truckloads of dirt to cover tree roots in my front yard Ive been growing grass for about three months now it's finally starting to look decent but I've only mowed the front yard twice in two months.im just glad there's nothing wrong with the backyard at least I get to mow that on regular basis The funny part is I got the dirt from my father-in-law's bosses land and they got it out of the Creekbottom with water grass so now I have to weed and seed in late August or September but on the bright side I also mowed my neighbor's yard today just for the heck of it I'll sharpen the blades next Season. I was also wondering before I go and paint my snow blade should I take off the plate that holds the battery in and paint it with the sunrise red before I go all gung ho on the snow blade?
