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!

I MAY BE GOING ? RUSS

They sure look like Horsie cultivators Jim. I've seen them in that condition for around $2-250. My set looked like that when I bought them and it was 2 Franklins.

Can you put a picture of the trans in here...that would help. @Jake Kuhn was selling kits as a vendor here...so is Lowe @wheelhorseman It is best to open up, pull it apart and clean it and then order what you need. There is a lot that may still be good. You can also get a lot of the bearings and seals from Motion Industries. Both of the vendors are excellent to deal with.

The 10hp tappets can go in either location as they are adjustable. Only on the small block (8hp and smaller) does it matter.

Update #2 today: So, I did a little more Googling and happened to read this thread: I took a chance and said "WTH..." and tried the old gas cap from my flawless running 416H. Do you know this 520H ran almost flawlessly this time around? I mowed the front with it, which takes an hour or so to do. It stayed right at 3500RPM, right under it actually. At one point, it did surge ever so slightly. So I throttled down, took off the gas cap, then put back on, not as tight. Ran great still. Now keep in mind, this is just a cap, that even has a small crack in it, no fuel level gauge like the fancier ones. Unless you guys think there's something else wrong, I'm pretty satisfied with how it did.

I just changed the throttle cable and need to tinker a little more to get the rpm I need. The engine does not seem to rev like it should on the top end. Seems to labor a bit. Any suggestions? I need to check the governor and get the throttle adjusted to wot and then go from there. I mowed at about 2500 rpm

If needed you can use Xtreme's wheel spacers. Makes it easy to adjust out, backspace. Scroll down on Extreme's web page to find the backspace spacers. http://xtrememotorworks.com/Parts Catalog/Dual-Wheel-Spacers-Cub-Cadet.html

I just measured my 76 b80. It is 45.5 from center to center and the frame is 37.5 from the back of the transmission plate to the front of the frame.

Late check in due to just getting power/internet/phones back. We are in the Hudson Valley region. We had a few reportly tornados or microbursts. Thank God no real damage but nearby had a lot of down trees. Very thankful to turn generator off and enjoy the quiet.

Bob, I have an ammeter that came out of my 1974 c-160. I have no idea if my ammeter works because the wiring harness was basically a butchered up bag of shaken spaghetti inside the tractor. I didn't put it back in because I am a fan of a voltmeter instead. If you can tell me how to bench test this thing I'll do it. Throw me a few bucks for postage and you can have the gauge. I'll never use it and there's no sense just letting it sit on my shelf.

If you have a bottle jack, some 3/8" all-thread and an old hub you can do this.

It is a foot pedal for engaging the deck on alot of 60's model WH.

My wife drove the 502 and was pulling something heavy in our washed out gravel drive at the old house, she was spinning tires so I hopped onto the hitch to give her some traction... and it reared right up in the air. I reacted by jumping back, pushing the tractor back down and all was well. She hasn't had any urge to drive my tractors since! I guess that's why she owns that AC WD45 now, and I still play [work] with the .

Maybe it was Northern Tool or something, but I know I've seen some seat bases that bolt onto existing seats/springs and allow quite a lot of adjustment front/rear. Due to injuries, I need my legs pretty much straight out when sitting on the tractor - all of mine have been modified to offset the seats further back and my wife can't get to the pedals easily. The last, and one time she drove the old 1277 to the gas station resulted in her punching the '68 Charger I rebuilt with the 1277's hood - she let go of the direction control handle at 3/4 throttle, not a good idea on the older Sundstrand without holding down the clutch/brake pedal. Glad I wasn't between the two machines, lol.... Sarge

Yes that's it but I seen one on ebay that was for a gt14. I know the c120 and c160 had them. Is there a difference in the gt14 and the c160?? I'll look you up at the Big Show Bob. I may just need a pan not sure yet.

a C series long stick hydro, C120 or even dare I say a C160 auto. My kids learned to drive tractor on a C120 AUTO. They don't need to reach the pedals and can control it pretty good eric j

Was far too pretty outdoors... to leave your indoors today.

Got 3 days of lunches. All kinds of time for wheelin& dealin. Still owe Vinylguy a root beer float!

Jim's gonna need new suspenders!

I have a lift for the haymow in my barn. Hasn't been a hay bale up there in years, just parts. I also owe you a meal for haulin that KT-17!

@squonk Have you forgotten the lunch for hauling the big 16 hp Kohler ? @953 nut Are you driving a 18 wheeler to the show ? You are going to have to build a new barn for all the pieces and parts you are collecting.

I will do that deal, what color shirt do you want?

By no means a New Ship. USS Bonhomme Richard LHD-6 commissioned in 1998. Amphibious Assault Ship that hauls an MEU around the the Far East looking and protecting our interests. Was lucky enough to spend a few months on board. She used to be home ported in Sasebo, Japan. Pretty nice home port.
