Happy Rainy Saturday, Made run up to Munson Mass and did some horse tradin with @snowhound . Got this GT1600 and GT2500 Anniversary. The 1600 runs, the 2500 needs a bit of work. 2 more Briggs powered 'Horses in the fleet! I also LOVE THE CAMO treatment on the 1600. Thanks Ed it was a pleasure. And I got outta there before Ben came at me with a kitchen knife ! Inside joke a few of us can understand espescially @Sparky Tony

I picked this one up late last fall so I never was able to try the mower deck. Today I did. Mowed really well.

Well I just added a new seat to my collection. I wanted to try something new just to see how it would look . Not bad but I don't know if i really like it or not. A lot of work trying to sew pleats And letters. I really like the diamond design and may do one something like my first experiment As In The Last Picture but use a 1/2 sew foam to make them stand out.. But what do you guys think ???

Hurried home today from the Royal Wedding. Left my lawn chair behind because I was going to miss my flight. Rainy day at The Plaza today. Got my working wheels and new tires on the Skonkmobile. My son is coming home from Buffalo today so it's Mother's Day. She likes gardening andwants chickens but we can't have them so:

Its a Brinly bb-367 lift boom NICE SCORE!

NOS set here... same two bills.

I never met a smorgasbord I did not like. Your transmission will never know. Dead Dinosaurs are dead dinosaurs... see you at the show Paul.

Picked these up at Portland and I'm curious as to what they were?

Jim, here's a pic of mine from a couple years back.

I worked on some RJ three piece transmission parts today. Two drive pulley side panels. I removed old bearings and brass bushing on one plate that had a really bad axle tube brass bushing. I also painted some hubs off of an RJ tractor.

Really like the diamond design.

When ever something mechanical breaks that my wife is using she'll call me and ask if I'm AAA Approved!

This is my 70' Commando V8 (VH-80 cast iron block Tecumseh 8 h.p.) This is the old girl that introduced me to the Wheel Horse family over 25 years ago. I know she's probably the less desired tractors of Horse collectors (her crankshaft runs in the wrong direction....... Vertical) she's still used to mow grass, mom nicknamed her "ole Bessy" some years ago before she passed away in 2011, mom mowed a lot with her also, I guess Bessy introduced mom to the Wheel Horse family also.

I like the shed setup

My C-105 says "HI!" to his cousin... GREAT tractor! Cheers!

I can see the work that went into those! Very nice , I like the diamond one myself. Fantastic job, real professional

I’d sit on it. 👍

Go for it. Mix away. It won't do any harm.

Anything is possible during the "AMC" days My 76 C-160 isn't supposed to have a flip up fender but it does.

Nice pick up Mike. I like the ground shot. Bonding with your tractor.

Mixing Oil Brands, You're real rebel Sparky!

Love the answers and so true. I'd flush that tranny and add fresh of whatever brand(s), run it for a few mowings and change it again and then as long at it's stored inside you'll be good for years.

Oil is Oil!

Are these Wheel Horse Cultivators ? The top one looks like a mid mount unit and bottom looks like a sleeve hitch . Any idea on the value ? Thanks in advance

My 1961 Wheel Horse 701 with hydro pump lift and two piece cultivator set.

Cleaned up my new 312-8 some and mowed the yard for the first time with it. I still need to do more detailing and decided not to use the bagger this time. I'm not a big bagger guy anyway. I also had to mow a little with the lawn ranger - can't let her get jealous😁.

Yes they are the wheel Horse cultivators that fit C series style tractors. Marv

@Lane Ranger ??

First mow of the season - the C-125 ran flawlessly and faithfully, the front turf tires picked up every package the neighborhood dogs have left. Some people use scoops. I don't have the need. 42" RD working fine but, wow, the noise! TIme to break-out the range headgear.

Holy, engine must sound like a jet at that RPM. I have never seen mine go that fast.

There is always something going on with somebody. This has been a week as we were preparing for my wife's surgery coming in a few days. My BIL from Colorado needed a quick place to stay as his buddy died sooner than expected. That put aside my needing a cracked tooth pulled and pulling that tooth threatened me fixing my daughter's car [also stopping in for a 'hotel room'] while she went to a college graduation for her friends. Daughter has been through really bad stuff with an abusive relationship that she finally had the strength to end. We just kept listening to her story after the dam broke....pretty tough to hear all that, but just had to be a dad. Tooth came out and I toughed it out without touching the drugs they gave me. The next day I went to another doc for a check up and it resulted in a biopsy. Wife will be off work fora time, so maybe me hanging around caring for her will settle things down a bit. Hope for the best with the biopsy. The good stuff is that my daughter folded her hands as we prayed over supper.....first time in a long time.... Thank you, AC for posting this thread. you already helped people here gain some wisdom

My mistake - sorry Click on the pictures Garry

I too have used the old KT series 1 on my C-175 and love it. My property is not flat at all and she keeps doing the job. Although I do wish I had the series 2 with oil filter and pump but oh well. I would wonder now and be scared that treating your tractor correctly and new oil the old girl wont know how to act. Lol

My tub cart lives in my shed too. Last job it had was picking up lunch at the steam pageant 3 yrs. ago. May have to break it back out again this year.

That looks like a model 1614. 16" rear wheels, 14 HP engine with 12" fronts. Jim Dandy models have 8" fronts.

I buy from these guys quite often. https://www.mowerpartpros.com/OEMpartfinder.htm#/Toro_Consumer/85-36MR01,_36"_Rear_Discharge_Mower,_1978/REAR_DISCHARGE_MOWER-42_IN._(107_CM)_VEHICLE_IDENTIFICATION_NUMBERS_85-42MR01,_95-42MR01/85-36MR01-6066-1978/810019R2-19R20009-0005 Cleat

Also check if you input drive pulley shaft has any in/ out play it should not have any. It will eat up gears if it had movement

What evanloock said. The catch on the right side of the pedal frame is unique to a sickle bar mower setup!

Finally had a chance to bolt the fresh K-341 on my 76. I'm probably not going to get it going until after the big show. There's a few things I want to find for it. An ammeter or voltmeter, an OE style muffler, headlight lens, an OE style rectifier/regulator, brake liner, drawbar hitch (works great with the old tub cart) and probably a few other things. I installed a hourmeter in the shifter plate so I can track the hours on the 'new' motor.

He may have had a sickle bar mower at one time. On a Charger you remove the PTO and use a small pulley that comes with the sickle. The PTO is on the sickle frame and uses this pedal set-up.

Thanks to A&Z Tractor for having the correct steering wheel for my 73 16 Automatic. Installed it tonight after getting home from work. Went splendidly the one that was on the tractor came off without problem. And after a bit of cleaning everything went together easily. Even had the center cap and that was in great condition.

Highly unlikely that trailer will return to Minnesota with an empty spot....I just know better.

Lots of good trading going on in here. I drove down the road and acquired a set of wheels. I'll be buying an extra lunch at the show!

The link will bring you to it running. Just gave it a refresh with new piston and rings/honing. Ready to go drag some twins with the "Twin Killer"
