Wasn't sure I was gonna' do this but I may be absent for a while. Lost Mother back in May a month before her 99th birthday. She had a pretty good life and didn't have any pain. Miss her a lot but life goes on. Fast forward to October. Six month check up and annual blood test. Blood test was off so more tests including bone marrow. (The plot thickens) Results not so good. Acute Leukemia... So heading for Hershey Medical Center Sat. morning to start chemo treatments. I feel great. No idea anything was wrong until blood test. What ever the future holds I haven't missed much. Dr. says seven straight days of chemo really brings you down and infection is a big concern. Been getting blood test Mon, Wed, and Fri for the last two weeks in case I need a transfusion until they could get me into Hershey. Dr said after chemo we could talk about stem cell transplants..... Anyhow, lots of unknowns. I'll update when I can. Hope to see you all in June.. Jay

Someone's had a smashing time.

IT'S NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE !

Just one more wee hammer tap and ~~~ $#@&!!!

Remember in high school Eric .......

Warm/hot oil will also flow more easily for draining purposes.

Hot oil. The crud is in suspension not laying on the bottom where it will stay while you drain. i have never heard of draining cold oil as being the best choice

Who needs a puller. Hand me my BFH and watch this.

My wife taking the kids for a ride My daughter cruising the FEL My daughter and the 1045

I did😊 Havent gotten to the PTO, yet...my skills n workspace are limited, so i e been tackling smaller stuff first, and gathering info; just trying to straighten out PO's 'fixes'; posted a few threads on that with pics. But since you asked, here isa few more.😊 I know they arent a tion shots; just a man's Horse at rest... but he needs a good going over; gonna take me a bit to get it all done/sorted. But i intend to 😊 Have a great day!

This might keep us busy for a while...

I too have always run the engine a little prior to draining the oil, same deal, get the crud in suspension rather than leaving it sitting in the oil pan.

Hmm... JB Weld? Duct tape? Super glue? So many choices!

Nice Towel

11.22.2019. The day Stevasaurus found out he really IS stronger than steel.

This is an Doubleaction plow. basically built for a 11HP 2 Wheeler tractor in early 70‘ies It was not the weak trash you can buy now, it was an older version, what was a bit more stable. This Plow is usable for both directions to Plow. It also was not the complete plow, it is just the importantst thing of the whole mechanism. The mounting hitch i decide to build myself, because i wanna a System similar like this. so you can sit on tractor, pull once on the Lever and the plow turns over. Like in this Video.... Not too hard to built, but if you buy, it cost completely about 700-1000 Bucks. I payed just 45€ for the Plow, and the turn mechanic is a perfect Project until Springtime...😎 Also while i have an option to a smaller Field with 20m by 50m where i thinkering to purchase. We just dealing about the Price.. 😎

Jay, Sorry to hear this. All my best wishes are with you and your family. I expect to see you at the WHCC in June. Bob

Does Cinnamon have a manual lift? You’re about to have a Popeye arm!

workspace limited ? sheesh I can barely dream about a spacious area like that !

Rugged bugger... I don't want snow back yet but I'm looking forward to trying the 60" plow that @wallfish gave us on the Cinnamon Horse....

I plan on doing some better shots of it this weekend outside, but as to make sure you guys don't have to wait too long here's some shots of it in the garage until I can get some better ones. The 195 is a TANK, it makes the 175 and 145 look tiny in comparison...not to mention the poor little ole' 655 in the back, may as well be a push mower

That was my plan with the 418-C I picked up a couple years ago, then one thing led to another and I gave it a much needed cosmetic upgrade. It ran and drove so well it would have been a shame to not show it a little love. Well worth the effort in my opinion.

yeah I saw them on ebay 35 bucks a pair free shipping, they look sharp. I had a cool old set but I saw these and couldn't beat the price

The 312 will come with front and mid tach-a-matic brackets, no issue. The Raider can be adapted to use them quite easy, if they aren't there already. Both gear driven and 12hp. Its an even field mostly. That Raider will likely have a limited slip diff though. Something the 312 never offered. Makes going much easier on mud and snow. I also prefer the way an old narrow hood drives. The steering feels smoother on the Raider, and .. while the 312 isn't complex .. the Raider is as simple as it gets. Personally I'd take the Raider.

messed around with the lights just because I got bored, once I can make up my mind on an engine I will finalize the brackets and wiring, until then let there be light. tomorrow hopefully finish up the seat pan. it's ugly but it's solid now. I picked up a nice square cover for it

You never know what kind of a hand life will deal you. In my case my hands began to become progressively more numb while this project was going on. Long story short I had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery on both hands in October (two weeks apart) and have been following doctors orders. The right hand continues to have some numbness but It should go away and using them will do no harm I was able to resume work on the GT-14 assembly a few days ago and finished it today (with the exception of some @Vinylguy decals that I have asked Santa for ) The transaxle is working well and while it was apart I repaired the parking brake. The repaint is a twenty footer at best, no need of making this worker a trailer queen. Figured I should take a few pictures before I get it dirty.

So... let me get this straight. @WildmanC120 Got it from @Super-C 4 me who got it from @19richie66?

A lift assist spring would certainly help with the 60" blade. If you don't require a high lift height, it can be linked to the hole closer to the shaft which gives quite a bit more leverage.

Hey @stevasaurus. Did you get those off of @WHX24's bench??

Well I managed to get some paint on the seat tray. I'm not 100% happy with it but needs must at this time of year. Now its painted I have assembled the seat and fitted the rear lights.

Mr. Jay, best wishes for your road ahead, hopefully things were caught so soon that the treatment kicks that crap into remission in a jiffy! I hear chemo wears on even the strongest of folk, but I believe you’ve got the strong mindset to make that long trek to the big show in June!

I've used starting fluid ever since I was a little kid and started riding snowmobiles. We started selling Ski-doo's in the mid '60s and later had Moto Ski's, Ariens Arrow's (we called them Ariens Errors), Fox Trac's, and Snow Pony's. Because of this we also had many different used machines, so I've ridden on most of the old snowmobiles. Back then I could barely pull the rope or cable to start them, and almost none of our snowmobiles had electric starts, so it really helped get them going. I believe back then it was just straight ether, which was known to cause problems, but the stuff I have now has a lubricant in it, so I think it is a lot safer on engines to use now. Like others have mentioned, I also use it sometimes for a quick test if an engine won't start to see if it's a fuel problem or something else. C-85

There's a whole bunch of C's ..... I'm sorry for the bad joke, I'll C myself out....ok, now time to get serious. Just brought home my third C-Series a few nights ago, a good condition C-195. Thanks in large part to @HOOCHIECOO for picking it up in Indiana, and bringing it partway for me, met him in PA and took it home from there. Another Indiana tractor moving to Connecticut Now to look out for some attachments for the 3 point hitch, and possibly a PTO, I plan on doing a lot of groundwork this coming spring with it, working on leveling out my property and expanding my lawn!

Keep the Horse in and the Jeep out!!! Looks Good! Gary

That’s manual lifts for you. Them plows would be a workout for sure

0 man oh man that's like the scariest picture ever

Lol... Wait...you guys dont understand... Thats not my workshop...thats my garage, lol. Once i park my jeep cherokee in there... Well, space is limited, trust me...🤣 I live on a pretty good sized lot tho, so by spring hope to have the $$$ saved to add another building/leanto, or...something...

Best of luck to you, you've got the support of this whole community behind you. We look forward to your return when you're ready.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers! Keep your head up! If you need any help we're not far apart!

@12Horse Paladin Congrats on your new to you WH tractor, hope you get things sorted out, take your time and ask questions on here, many talented members here. On another note, enjoy your awesome Garage space because in time there may not be enough room for possibly more Tractors, attachments and accessories.

The transaxle is simply a reservoir for the trans fluid...and isn't pressurized. The dipstick has a rubber grommet to exclude debris as the internals of the Sundstrand pump are HIGHLY sensitive to any contaminant. I have a C-160..same trans... and a few Dipsticks....will have a look-C if I have one for you. If so, $20 bux ...shipped.

My school didn't use letter grades, we were graded 1 - 10. I got a 9 in shop class, a 5 in math/science and a 3 in English . . . . so, I have to own 953s Hope to be able to add a Super C to my herd some day.

Found a new thingi, i will pickup on Sat. This Weekend let‘s see what that guy has on addons....

Had finished the Raider 12 and there was the lift, sitting there EMPTY.......... This is my $400 "barn find". It's a 94 416-8 with a little over 1100 hours. It had been sitting for about 4 years after the PO bought a zero turn. The guy I work for part time told me his uncle had a Wheel Horse in his shed and he might want to get rid of it. He sent me some pictures. It really looked like a brown lump. But he did clean off the ID tag. The shed turned out to be more of a "run in" with a dirt floor (and it didn't face east) Took the power washer to it and YEP There was a Wheel Horse underneath. New battery, fuel lines,spark plugs and an air filter and it ran like a champ. Even mowed the front yard with it. Couldn't stand looking at the empty life so.......Let the fun Begin!

It's rust to bust! Who needs Loctite! Should not have done the last burn out!

Looks to me the wires are on the bottom side of the piece. look at The picture of where the screws go through the holes that should tell you

I worked on the 417 again today.... Just a little update of what I've done so far... Installed new spark plugs and got the starter I ordered. The old starter had a lot of play. I got new fuel lines for it and flushed the gas tank out. This is a slow going project mostly because of long hours at work typically 7 days a week. @gwest_ca. Can you move this back to the original topic? I was hoping to provide a general description of how I end up getting this 417a running well again and not just fixing the electrical stuff. Also, I changed the engine oil today. I'm still shocked that this motor came without an oil filter from the factory. Cory
