Started using my 520 FEL machine last year to install lights around first floor gutter. Added a removable safety tube. I drive along and the wife hangs them, way better and much quicker than a ladder.

Haven't been on in awhile but missed the good people and finally found time to get back here. Got a few new toys but haven't found any good horses down this way. Had a older cousin(63) that was what I called my 2nd father pass away and when I lived in New York he was the one that always worked on my tractors with me, he rebuilt my daughters C81 engine. I actually have a cub cadet 71 he willed to me I got to bring home(always tried buying it from him and once he knew he wasn't gonna make it he said he might sell it to me but didn't give me a price!) so I got the 71, bought a CASE cart also in New York at parents house, also bringing home dads ford LGT120 W/ford cart, I bought a Case 130 and had it delivered fastenal, got my kids a Honda 90 atv and just this past Saturday went to Arkansas and bought my early Christmas gift... lol. Glad to be back tho! Prolly could of put this in other brands but oh well...

Our driveway is about 600 feet long and has an elevation change of about 80 feet (we live in the forest half way up a mountainside). In a couple of places it is close to a 100% grade (45 degrees) which can be a challenge. I have to plow down hill then return to the top and make another pass. Fortunately we only get snow a couple of times a year and it is usually sunny after the snowfall so the driveway dries once plowed.

Cool idea... But If you think OSHA is a small town in Wisconsin you got another thing coming...

"ats what I like to see ... make her do the high work and you get seat time! Awfully nice of you to install a safety tube!

Thanks ACman! Love my gremlin and actually mom wants me to bring that to Tennessee with me lol. Yes that's my dads 1970 AMX he has owned since 1974, and that's a 2 door concord behind gremlin. O and dads AMX drag car is done and ready to race

I use the common glue boards around the house , sheds and such - we have a whole town full of owls and we prefer to keep them as they control rodents extremely well . Got several barred , barn , great horned and screech owl pairs living in our neighborhood too , sounds like a chorus at night all year round . The Great Horned pair sits just outside our windows at night in a small maple and at times I swear they are watching tv with us...no poisons allowed around here . Sarge

Try building some of these traps. No need to check them on a daily basis. I use coolant in the pail so it won't freeze & it also preserves the mice so that they don't smell bad. Make sure that the can spins freely & rub some peanut butter on it for bait. I have very good luck with these.

Yeah, I have one of those old Rolle Bros tractors here too.

Sure Craig I have two! One I bought brand new in 1984 and the one I currently have the blade on. The one with the blade on it I will get pictures tomorrow. In the mean time I snapped a picture of the one I bought new that is currently undergoing restoration and a few more Work Horse pictures while I was at it!!

Got back to it today, subframe almost done. Pretty much an exact copy of a Wheel Horse subframe.

No way my wife would do that, you have a very trusting wife!

Hope the hydo isn't jerky!

Kohler made spec # 46681 for Gravely and the 9064685 serial is from 1978. Many of the Gravely engines used a real short pto shaft on the crankshaft. Does this one meet your needs for the Wheel Horse pto? http://www.partstree.com/parts/kohler-engines/engines-horizontal/k241-46681-kohler-k241-engine-k-series-gravely-10hp-7-5kw-specs-4600-46858/ Garry

Here's part of the winter fleet. I've since put a Sweepster C-48 rotary broom on the C-141 for light snow and clean up. Not pictured is my Work Horse GT-1800 with 50" mid-mount grader blade for scraping up ice.

I have over 600' of drive to clear.I usually clear some of the neighbors drives as well as the culdesac.The single stage and 416h do me well.We don't have a lot of snow here but when we do it is a bear to deal with.When it gets bumper height on a 4wd with 33" tires plowing is not an option with a GT.Some folks look at the blower and shake their heads until the snow gets deep.Just another day in a WHs life I guess.Be safe,JAinVA.

Those are called customer convenience carts Billy... glad they were there when I had to pick up my 100 plus pounds of trim that I am going to turn into delicious jerky, brats, sausage, hot sticks and whatnot ... your share goes to Ed and @stevasaurus

Don't know if I should use the 1267 with a blade, the 520 and blower or break out Elvis! Opinions gentlemen! Made ya look!

Got that right, how about this guy!

You probably scared the spindle shaft into submission by writing a post on here! Glad you got it.

While filling a pair of tires with RV Antifreeze I learned an important lesson today. Use a small pair of vice grips to hold the valve stem of your inner tube! The filling of the first tire went along very smoothly and only took about ten minutes to transfer six gallons from a bucket to the tire. Then it happened; I removed the fill/vent adapter from the valve stem and immediately the valve stem disappeared into the rim! OH NO! Couldn't manage to fish the stem back through the hole so had to break the bead and use tire irons to remove one side of the tire from the rim so I could reach the valve stem with long nose pliers and bring it back to daylight. Then the stem was clamped in place with small vice grips and the tire bead replaced prior to inflation. Needless to say some of the fluid had left the tube and was in the tire so as I inflated it the fluid was spraying out the valve hole, what a mess. The second one went much better! ! !

People do strange things. I cant think of any reason why on that pulley. Just my 2 cents. Glenn

Probably get record snow falls since you sold the blower.That would be my luck anyway.

The C-105 does our double drive and two neighbor drives... Down from 8 when my son was doing his lawn / snow business...

Sorry to get off topic, but you guys should have seen that place. One of the Rolle brothers told me that at one time they were the largest Wheel Horse dealer on the east coast. I have no reason not to believe him. The place was a Wheel Horse lovers dream. One time they let me into the parts room and I almost needed a moment alone 😳 You never went there for parts and they said that they had to order it. Nope they had it in stock. Man, I really miss that place!!

Moth balls in and around everything stored in the barn and some Tomcat bait near every shop door has been doing the job so far. Have to keep putting out more blocks every week, We are right next to a national forest.

Good buy, I would say "Cool Pictures" but then I saw the last one. I learned a lesson this summer. Bought a parts tractor and put it in the shop, next day I spotted a mouse, then a few more. From now on I will put some moth balls in them for a day or two prior to bringing them in.

Went to an auction on Friday and picked up a kohler k241s. I thought it would go expensive but I ended up getting it for only $3 which I was very excited about. It is missing the carb, coil, condenser and air cleaner and housing. Luckily I have all of the things it is missing. The flywheel wasn’t turning the best so I took the shroud of and found a surprise, looks like not just humans like kohler. Hoping to get it running eventually and maybe pop it into my c-81. I took the fuel pump off and it seems to work okay, luckily.

First, open up a nice path from the magic shed... then, out along side of the house... to the 75' of front driveway to the street. Depending on the accumulation, either a light duty round hood... or, a big 520 for when the going gets tuff.

Yes that was fender. This dumb spell check changes words after I type them to suite itself.

Real nice work Tom ...like that rear rubber

Nice work, Tom!

Get some more pics @OILUJ52 so I can show my wife ......she loves Christmas lights ..... this may be my in for an FEL! Heck I'll even let her have the seat time

Glad to see the kids wearing helmets while on the 4 wheeler. Love the AMC race car!

Thanks 953Nut.. him and my dad were like brothers and he was my other dad. Last time I was in New York was last Christmas and shortly after we found out he had cancer and he past away within 8 months. On a more fun note We set up track in the yard.. my daughter is getting good!

Not the whole yard, but at least around to the cellar door to get to the basement to fill the coal boiler and dump the ash.

IT has a mount for a gravely but the mount is removable so it should work on the horse

@Eric Friedrichsen I'm glade you got it. Those double pully are the worst ones to get off without destroying them. A puller will bend them unusable. I had a bad one on a 36" deck and this is what I did. Worked great and I had to still had to beat it off.

Looks older than me.........and I'm pretty damn old.

I was too quick to write this request. After writing the request I went out to my shop and gave it 3 more hits on the brass drift and what do you know- it broke free and I now have it apart. Thanks anyway. Eric

Ok that makes sense. I'm pretty new to the tractor scene but am quickly becoming obsessed. I printed out the parts manual and operators manual, I'll read through and see what they specify for oil lubrication. I definitely don't want oil starvation or overheating, as I stated earlier, I'm not smarter than the engineers who built this. Thanks for the input.

Excellent pictures guys...it is important to properly manage the deer population in the states...especially from a disease point of view. I think Jim is thinking, much like here in Illinois, the conservation departments are so strapped for resources...good management is on the wish list.

You guys were correct! It appeared to us to be a centered pulley, but there was so much grease and dirt on the inside that it was covering up the offset part. So we flipped it and its perfectly aligned once again. Why in the world would the PO put it on backwards and then go to the trouble of modifying the belt guard to make it work without scrubbing the pulley? Is there ever a situation any of you can think of where you would need to reverse a offset drive pulley like that?

i got the snow blower tires on front of 753. i forgot about these rims. i recently got a sears gt14 and well in process of getting things gathered up i figured i would take the goodyears turfs that was on these rims and put them on the sears and use rims with the snowblower tires. i am not sure what model wheel horse these rims went to but hey a few washers to spacer them out and they look good and grip good true test will be in snow. took 3 pulls to fire up this 1958 k160 kohler today. runs really good

Great repair, but is that an transmission oil filter on the left side of the picture? If so, i wonder how old it is???

good work son

We can't use that here because we several nesting pairs of at least 2 species of owls. More than one pair of Great horned and also Barred. Owls Will eat a poisoned mouse. We've done some traps with limited success due to limited time taken checking and maintaining the traps.

A frozen over freezer evaporator. School called after finding this after being closed for 5 days. Low on refrigerant and a 120 volt defrost timer with 208 volts running thru the clock motor.

Since we're doing maps I'll give 2, the first one of my home (parents) in WV the blue circle is my parents house the yellow line follows the 4 tenths mile stone dirt driveway to the red circle state maintained county road and yes we used to push snow with an old cub cadet original for years then a bigger CC 1200 then my 520 with single stage now a Kioti ck20 and never a cab, but now I'm prone to pneumonia/bronchitis so on to my new home in Staunton VA pic #2 again yellow line represents where I plow 520 no cab or blow snow 520 cab single stage now 2stage, with my house blue circle in laws' green circle and BIL red circle, so probably 1/2 mile total here too, Jeff.

The C120 had it's turn doing yard work today pulling the yard sweeper.
