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

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😁.

If you are closing the choke at all you are reducing the air flow and an internal combustion engine is essentially an air pump. Reduced air flow results in reduced power. There is fuel starvation and a good soaking and blowing out all passages should do the trick.

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

@Lane Ranger ??

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.

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.

I can't actually verify that she checked the fluid levels. I do have AAA. Yes.

I think he was asking about 42" decks not the 36 in the above links

Squonk is dead on. This one has a rare k331 Kohler. Only made for 2 years (Kohler K331).

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.

Very true words. Shouldn't have a hood ornament either but let no parts go wasted.

Other brands have the wider wheels, but need to watch the back space. I bought a cub cadet for the motor, and temporarily used the wheels. They were 8.5" but because b/s was off had to move the hubs out so the tires would clear the inside of fender. Also, Miller Tire has blanks, so you can make to whatever b/s you want. I bought some 10" wide blanks to mount 12" wide tires on, looks and works great. Also check zero turns and similar machines, I grabbed a set in a junkyard, same exact wheel as the 520s have, just painted an off white color.

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

Dead Dinosaurs are dead dinosaurs...

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

Maybe it was a leftover from a previous trade in when he got the 69 Charger.

Put in fresh fuel and charged the battery on my new B80. Off she went! Runs great, expect her to be for sale in a few days. I also put a new fuel pump and charged the battery on my 312-8. Smoothest, best running tractor I've ever had. Gonna keep it and out it to work😁.

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

Is this what you need? I'll bring mine along with me.

You've already got one extra lunch

I see a square hood and no fenders. We gonna need some mo pics!! Randy
