So earlier this year Rylee bought this 1076 with her own money. $65! I told her that when she’s ready to work on it, I’ll show her how to work on it. Some smart kid decided it’s too cold and wet on her birthday to ride the quad in the field. She’d rather wrench instead! ❤️ We started by checking the oil. Now I can see there is a wiring mess, so we’re checking over the wiring before we try to touch the key off..

There is a ton of varnish in the carb and about 1/8” slop in the throttle shaft, so we’re going to look for some donor parts and run some new fuel line. The clear stuff is leaking all over. But first, LUNCH! Rylee took a break to take a birthday call..

I keep forgetting, and other things keep taking my time, but have wanted to post this for awhile... I have wanted one of these for some time (no, i dont have a need, but...🤣), but figured due to cost and being unable to find one locally, it'd never happen. But as of Sept 2nd of this year, now i have one!😊😊 I know, it's rough, and by the time the floor is fixed, it won't be original, but for $20 and a nice morning drive a few towns south of me, it has a new permanent home. Cooler than that, even...on the tounge, is an old school 'FELDMANN' Sales and Service sticker...they are still in business, and also where my 1st WH was either bought or serviced sometime in it's life, too, because it also has, albeit newer, sales sticker on the hood👍 Yea, i like stuff like that😊 That last pic, too...Dad, showing me how to go about using what you have, helping me out straightening the tailgate sheetmetal😊 I know ill have way more stuck in it than it is worth, by the time it is done... But that never really was what this was about, for me. Y'all have a good day!

My little baby is 10 today! Where does time go? She’s spending her morning making us some of her famous flap jacks then we’ll be in the field before we know it! She wants to have a quad riding day!

Just for laughs, all. Don't shoot!

The P.O. was deceased and Rylee bought this from his nephew at the estate sale. He only knew it had a new battery, nothing else. Probably the reason it was not in running condition for the P.O. is because I found the coil was only getting power when cranking. The switch is not correct for the machine, but it was wired for a starter solenoid. Next will be getting it to run on it’s own power, now the coil has power whenever the switch is on or in start! After that, sorting the generator charging circuit out...

How about this for a name???

I showed the girls this while laughing, then told them “I bet the square root of 1,157,776 is 1076!” Well whattaya know...

A HUGE Wisconsin from the Peacemaker Jack family! It was so much fun having you and your sister and your Dad stay with us for Plow Day! I hope you have a great birthday Rylee. Have some extra cake and ice cream for me. In case any of you are trying to figure out the 1054 Nut line...

Pretty soon, the tractors will have a place for everything and everything in it’s place! We put up another section of racking and it will allow for some custom pallets at 66” long and 44” wide to store tractors 3-wide in the racking. The closest green upright is 9’ tall, it’ll be a shell for the buggy to rest on top of

This is how far we’ve been able to drive it so far!

Tom—very observant Eye! This car was sold brand new with a YS code 350hp 400CI motor backed by a TH400 tranny and a 3.23 10bolt posi. Other than A/C, it was a pretty spartan GTO. Apparently it lived a very rough life and by 1976 the original mill was blown and it was shoved into a barn near Wausau, WI. It was that alone that kept it from accumulating the stereotypical salt belt lower body rust. Along about 1992 a guy discovers the car and installs a WT block 400 out of a 1970 Manual Tranny Goat, slapped some Maaco paint on it and then it changed hands several times before I found it September of 1998. We began the restoration on it January 2000 and I pulled the 400 in favor of a built 455. It was only a D-port motor but made north of 450hp on the crank and about 525ft-lbs of torque. 20 years ago, that seemed pretty powerful...today—not so much! Anyway, I thought the HO decal was cool and installed it on my air cleaner during the resto. Howie—did you have a car at Nats in St. Louis? @Coulter Caleb is gonna kill me but I just dug through Kelli’s scrapbook and found this page... Dad and I in the top right corner with Arnie Beswick. The rest of the pics are of Caleb. I guess I’d have to find that other album to see the pics we took of the cars in attendance🤔 I count it a real blessing to have kept that car all these years and to have so many memories with my family in it... Hard to believe this guy will be able to drive this car legally next spring when we bring it out of storage!!!! Where does the time go?

It’s 40x80 with 16’ sidewalls. We really lucked out putting a lot of sweat equity into our old home, then finding this place in a cheaper county. The house is another fixer upper, but the property is awesome! Some day the floors will have room to navigate without tripping over things! Who am I kidding, more stuff will just show up to keep inside! Addicted? That sort of sounds like a bad thing... Too many toys? That’s the product of working to support fun habits and creating a business that benefits from (fun) work tools (toys)!

You got way too many toys Kev.... Naaawww life's too short and banks got plenty of money I hear tell.

Kevin you’re teaching her right.....boots and shorts .... ! Treasure the time you have in shop with her .

Happy Birthday to the Boss. Hope you have fun today.

You will gain a lot more traction for not too much money if you fill your rear tires with RV Antifreeze.

Pat's latest addition.

Jim the deck is a good foot rest for her while she grows into the stirrups 👍 @stevasaurus you’re really gonna love this name we came up with! 1076... 76ers comes to mind. Philadelphia 76ers. Philly. A Filly is a female horse too young to be a mare. Rylee’s “Filly”

I would venture to say that it is about 1/2 as big as it should be.

@ebinmaine, @PeacemakerJack, @pullstart, Eric here's my "muscle power" splitter and me 99% finishing off the wall of big round wood onto the ole truck before the next couple days of forecasted rain enjoy.

92-6785 is the correct switch and it is for battery ignition with a twist. This switch controls a kill relay to control the magneto ignition. Click on the picture. On the next page click on the pictures again. Two of them describe the switch functions so you can test it. Good diagrams for each circuit Here is everything we have on your model and they come up in no particular order so look through them all. One there on the clutch and seat switches may be of interest. The clutch switch is in the starter circuit. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?&q=1998 312-8&type=downloads_file&search_and_or=or Garry

Where I live in Iowa it usually starts out with freezing drizzle then rain for a base of ice then anywhere from 1 inch to 18 inches of snow, wet or fluffy. I have to use turf tires with chains on my inclined driveway or I would not be able to push or throw snow. My neighbor has a snow blade on his 4wd Ford and has more problems than I do and I am on a garden tractor.......... I have old concrete and gravel so I am not worried about any wear and tear. Just my experience. I also have a Original Cab Snow cab to keep me warm and dry and a cup holder for the hot or cold beverage of my choice......

Posted just to give you an idea on the age. The last 2 digits 01 and 02 are parts list identifiers. They must have changed something mid-year. Could be different design or even a different tire supplier. They also started to use the 1st digit to identify the model year so the 67-10DC01 and 02 are different but the 77-10DC01 could be identical to the 67-10DC02. Click on the pictures Garry

These are times a daughter and father will never forget! Memories that will last forever and are the best.

We have a runner! With spray that is... we have a fuel issue.

Just wait until she names it!

For price & reliability it's hard to go wrong with any battery charger that has the Schumacher name on it.

You left out Baling Wire! Been around forever and has saved the day many times!

I have 2 boys that's technically old enough to drive the BU ,but with what's mostly under the hood and their notion to find the firewall under the loud pedal that probably won't happen till a few more years... Seems like I raised a brood of speed demons including the step daughter

if you cant fix it with WD-40 or duct tape..... Just throw it out and get a new one... Love the pics in this thread.

Loving all the pics of the horses getting ready for winter. The rubber chains sound perfect, and also will supplement with the liquid tire weight. Thanks all!

Today I got the Case running and even took a ride around the block my next step will be to work on steering it's loose.

I found these Two 16 Horse kohlers off of Facebook marketplace one of them is definitely a wheel horse motor the other one so I'm told might possibly be a gravely? Ended up paying 220 for them both . The wheel horse one he told me that it was board 30 over. And I'm thinking that I hope whoever did it knew what they were doing.

And this is exactly what you get for hanging out with Jack's crew.. naming tractors then getting attached to them and now can't even parts them out need be! This is exactly why I name them 1077 #1 and 1077 # 2.... be thankful I don't get attached and not be sentimental about parting them out cause you might very well end up with parts! Wel....l maybe except for Old Red and Cindy's Red and the Highway Man... Jeepers Cats now I'm naming them....you guys are bad influences! Pull the PTO belt she wants to ride with feet on the deck... safety first !

We have such a wide range of folks that enjoy a cross section of different hobbies associated with machines that I am starting a thread that is dedicated to how you store those and when you store them. There is a large contingent of us that live in the north where it is impossible to drive a vintage car or truck all winter unless you want the salt to kill it! Boating on the ice? Not so much! Motorcycling can be done through the winter on select days if you are crazy enough but still most of us park them for the winter. I have owned my Goat for just over 21 years or more than half my life (just realized that—cool)! I was watching the news this morning and they said that we could wake up to some snow accumulation on Tuesday morning of next week and so I don’t want to run the risk of not getting it winterized. Took my favorite people to school this morning in it... You should have saw Caleb’s expression when I told him that he could be driving us to school the next time if he keeps his grades up over the winter!!! Claudia instantly looks like, “I’m gonna be sick!” For winterizing, I pull the battery and put it in the basement on the fender, run Sea-Foam in the FULL tank of premium fuel, put a mouse trap (if you can’t scare them away, kill ‘em) in the car and trunk with a note to remember to check periodically. Clean it good and cover—good night! My 1996 Vulcan is similar. With it, I make sure the chrome is polished well, SeaFoam in FULL tank, run carb dry, and hook up battery tender. Gonna miss seeing this! Judge (pictured in his new Punisher helmet) asked me for a ride this afternoon or tomorrow! I must oblige, after all it is my kiddo asking😉 I can’t wait to see what you guys have and how you do it! This could be a great informative thread while still being lots of fun. Remember—if it is a machine of any sort and it gets stored through the winter months—IT IS ON TOPIC!!!

Love it!!

I'm thinkin 1/8 Dan!

Have I not taught you anything? Pull the deck first! She ain't gonna need it where she is gonna ride! Deck does look to be decent tho so don't scrap it! Hear tell they don't make them anymore. Need some wiring tactics give me, Dan or @953 nut a jingle. Most of all have fun!

My driveway is pretty steep and I run turf tires, chains and wheel weights. I try to get out and clear snow before it gets over 5 inches deep by doing that I don't have a spinning problem. If the snow does get to deep or is very wet and heavy I only remove it going downhill, my driveway is downhill going to the road .

Anyone know where to find a pdf manual for this K90? It seems that mywheelhorse.com has it but it will never yet me download or even login or register, is this site not working? I seen an old post on RS that shows the K90 manual in photobucket images that will not open up from a 2009 post. Just aquired a 1957 RJ35 with this engine and would like the manual, thank you for any leads.

https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-SC1343-Automatic-Battery-Maintainer/dp/B07895CFTR ... Seems this one has taken its place now.

Happy Happy Rylee! Hey you left your kitten here!

That load limit decal only shows up for the 1976-1977 10 cubic foot trailers. 1976 model 67-10DC01 1976 model 67-10DC02 1977 model 77-10DC01 Garry

Some more photos

thumbs up ! if you cant fix it with WD-40 or duct tape you in trouble !

Duct tape

I guess I'll be the odd duck out at the moment... I plow and snowblow (depending on amount) with a pair of 520Hs mounted with Lawn Trac R1 AG tires that are fluid filled along with iron wheel weights and then a custom rear bracket for suitcase weights on the blower tractor... With this particular brand tire I have had NO issues with slippage on our inclined asphalt driveway... Before this brand I had Nankang and Deestone AGs which required the use of chains even with the addition of wheel weights... Also the older a tire is the harder the rubber ,the less flex and less tractive forces... I do believe turfs allow more rubber to force the chain to dig in more effectively than AGs unless you get the diamond or net style chains... So just to reiterate IMPO the Lawn Trac R1 or Carlisle TruPower AGs would be my go to tire of choice but loaded with fluid and additional wheel weights. VIDEO0124.mp4

Turfs with rubber chains will be your best bet
