No questions here, don’t have any issues . Just bombing around the yard today on my modified 657...seemed like a nice opportunity to snap a couple pics.

Let us try not to let this day get lost in history. Remember the servicemen that lost their lives on that fatefull morning. It would be a shame if this day is forgotten by the American people. Glenn

I set out to get the old girl working, my neighbor gave me the tractor after he snapped the connecting rod on the engine. Ended up up with a "worker" not perfect but dang is it a fun ride. I refreshed my simplicity at the same time

One more for Friday:

My 1067 414-8 and 855

One photo opportunity that occurred for me was a scenic overlook in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park while bringing home my 310-8 from Tennessee where I purchased it.

Got the transmission back on today, and filled up, sitting on all 4 again I think shes looking good. Still need to fix the the brake band, rebuild the idler pulleys and rewire but its moving along smoothly.

An Important day for America and the free world. Must never forget the horror of the attack and the lives lost. Just watching two TV programmes on the attack. God bless those who perished. Mick

She works well but some times she needs her bigger brother to help out.

Not a WH but the PK helped me get a basketball hoop down after back surgery!

Some light wrenching on the WHrat WHrecker in the garage today with the twin nephews...

Used my ol 1257 to plow my driveway and yard third time this season. Makes it real enjoyable ridin the ol girl, definitely faster than my little snowblower.

Lookin good Mike ... just tied into the 867 today I got from dad this summer. Bad outboard tranny needles and wanted to get at it befor any axle damage so just a rear end mechanical and some other tidying up. Will do a thread on it once done.

Love that look.

We have a similar project going. We bought 20 acres of woods about a year ago. Making plans to start building in the not too distant future.

Usually don't have time to take a pic while working, but I did have this one. I use it often, one of the best things for around the house and yard I've owned.

New 9 pin molex, ignition switch and harness, fuel pump rebuilt. Just for reference, this mower sat for at least 3-4 years. I cleaned the spark plug, fixed some wiring, added a clutch spring, and fired it up. No carb cleaning or anything. It's crazy! Next is fluid changing (didn't want to do that until I knew it would run right).

More Michigan dealers

World's number one dealer was in my home town, who would have known

my grandfather (ww2 navy) and his brother (ww2 army) both enlisted right after that

Let us never forget, this day of infamy. There is a sobering thought in my mind, a sense of pride on my shoulders, sorrow in my heart for the ones lost.

Well this is probable as close to pushing snow as my C160 will ever come here in Central Texas. The Chains made a huge improvement on dirt traction. it now has two 33 lb Sears rear wheel weigts per side and loaded tires. What a beast!

Still plugging away at the first C-120. My time to work on them has been limited by my health issues, the fact that they are 50 miles away, and available daylight hours. Weather has also gotten to be a factor. We had so much rain that the road into the property became impassable without a 4X4. A load of stone delivered a few days ago has hopefully fixed that. So far I have replaced all of the fuel lines, filter, tank bushing, and shut-off valve. I drained, flushed out, new filter, and re-filled with fresh 10w30 the auto transmission. I also did get a new dipstick for the transmission. So far that was the most expensive part. Drained and replaced the engine oil. I will do it again after running it hot. I’m hoping to get down there in a few hours. Today I will check the breaker points and they hopefully fire it up for the first time in more than a decade!

Trina and I are right there with ya... We'd love to be set into a 50 or 100 acre forest. I picked up a group 51r battery to see if it'll stuff into the Cinnamon Horse. Used Interstate brand. 650 CA. 500 CCA. That otta spin the little sucker....

When it comes time to rehabilitate that horse the isolators will be coming out. The rubber mounts may have been a good idea when they were new but they definitely don't stand the test of time.

Added weight of the raised mower deck gives solid traction. Blade does not ride on the surface so there is no weight resistance, and since it is fixed to the frame, it does not ride up on the snow. Works great!

Well... The isolation idea didn’t work long term. I’ve driven @Achto‘s shaker plate black hood... it shakes worse than a non isolated machine but it’s still a fun ride! Additionally, the PTO lever is solid mounted on the dash, but the engine moves enough to wreak havoc on the PTO engagement.

Repair casting showed up in the mail .... keepIng this project going.... Hopefully can get it to the machine shop in the morning.

Like the back up lights... cool

Well that ain’t gonna work

16 automatic, the business end

You guys are something else!! Let me at least say a little bit about her. Born in Chicago in 1928...a lot of you guys are not going to know what that date means. It means that you were a kid during the Depression. It means that you were a kid after the 1st war to end all wars. It means that you were going through the 2nd war to end all wars as a teenager. It meant that you were probably farmed out to relatives or a home to take care of you because your parents could not take care of all of their kids. My mom and her sister were brought up as cousins...not knowing they were sisters until their 20's. My Dad's story is pretty much the same. I have a ton of friends my age, and the story of their parents is always so similar it knocks you out. My Mom and Dad married at 21...their birthdays are 1 week apart. They had me the next year...(might be the best thing that happened to them). Anyway, if you wanted to play TOP THIS for scars, you would not stand a chance. She was almost bionic...quadruple heart by-pass, both hip replacements and some others that I should keep in the family. She was strong until the end, and I got to spend her last days with her at her home. I am blessed that I was able to do that...and I am so happy that she lived a full life...and I am missing her already. She was into the horses, because my Dad bought them and got into a business. After he passed, she was out there in the shed with me getting the 4 of them out of moth balls and running again. That's when we found Red Square. I brought her home a T-Shirt from the 1st Big Show that I went to...and T-Shirts from some of the other shows that were going on during those years. She always enjoyed looking at all the pictures I brought back to share with her. I'll tell you this...if our house would have been near the railroad tracks (back in the day)...the hobo's would have marked her mail box as a safe place to get a good meal and a place to rest. Rest in Peace Mom...I love you.

I got a chance to use my newly acquired 312-8 today to clear about 4" of very wet and heavy snow from my 75' double-wide driveway. she did admirably- but was screaming through the entire thing unless i crept along in 2-Low. i thought it was the belt but turns out the PTO clutch was pretty loose... I absolutely love how adjusting that was completely tool-free and took me all of 30 seconds to turn in the adjuster 2 full turns. in the background you can see my POS 9hp Craftsman walk behind. just for shites-and-gigs i tried it out, and no joke it was completely clogged within 3 feet of trying to throw this wet snow. i think i might have made a good move on the wheelhorse here! One question i have for folks is- i didn't find that the blower was getting all the way down to the asphalt without adjusting the wheels all the way down to their lowest setting and then pushing my foot downwards against the lift lever while moving. is this common to have to give it down-pressure like that to get down to the asphalt?

My 1054 with 42" snow blade gets the job done whenever we get snow!

Just something cool about the look of a WH tractor in the snow but not having to earn its keep anymore, almost like a been there done that its whole life hooked up to many different types of implements and attachments and now just out for a winter trail ride with its owner, by the way, nice rears.

Round fenders. Square hood. Yeeeaahh.....

Agreed. Thank you to all the Service Branches. Any of you who have ever or are now serving in any form. We appreciate your chosen path.

I enlarged the photo and it appears that the plow might be already wearing away, flip that wear bar now. I'm not sure that the opposite side is new, but it is better than the side that is down.

Steve, so sorry for your loss and our thoughts are with you. She sounded like a wonderful woman, and raised a fine man in yourself. I imagine you both made each other proud, and you hold many happy memories of her.

C-120/180-8 , 312-8 ,

If that is a table which you use to work on sanding and doing miscellaneous small tool operations you van make an additional top with holes drilled through it mount it with about one inch of space to original top, enclosed on sides and with a port for vacuum. That's pretty much how a dedicated sanding table is done. It will collect any dust that falls on it and airborne dust close to table. As for machinery you will need to improvise and close as much of machine as possible to direct dust into collector hose. There is not one solution for everything. Here are some photos of set ups that I use. You may not need to get that involved but it will give you some starting points. Many times I rig up some insane looking set ups for special operations that only get used once. Some of the stuff shown such as the shop vacuum cyclone separator are available in less expensive smaller plastic form which Bob gave you a link to. Although for occasional use they are OK ,I do not use any plastic drums or cyclones or bags for safety reasons. Static build up and discharge on moving air within a closed system containing dust is dangerous. I use only metal components and they and every hose are internally grounded into electrical system. Below main collector. Two stage allowing only fine dust to go into bag. Solid bigger stuff and most dust falls into drum before. Mainly used for bottom of table saw and 2 joiners I use Perhaps the most important one in shop. Collects dust from above table saw directed at your face and acts as a very effective guard. It has its own dedicated collection system. Collection system for above table saw. Dedicated motor and separator. Bag never really gets any dust, it falls into drum from cyclone. Band saw collection. Used with a shop vacuum with a cyclone. Its just held with magnets. Totally encircles blade getting most dust at the source. Router table collection from shop vacuum. There is also usually the hose from main collector underneath table. This one is always messy regardless how hard you try but its mainly chips. Quickly improvised edge sander dust collected into sanders bag and shop vacuum. Very efficient with basically no dust anywhere. Chop saw set up. Collected from saw to shop vacuum and main collector on back of box through shown cutout which has a special fitting for it. Very efficient on a really messy tool. Probably the second most important one in shop. Cyclone separator for shop vacuum. 99% of everything falls into it before reaching shop vac. If you keep it from overfilling you almost never have to clean vac filter and have consistent suction. These are through out place. Automatically turns on collectors when tools are switched on.
