So I usually don't ask anyone for anything, but this group, like no other, has been a rock to so many people. It all started for me with a little boy named Maxx Nunn who had cancer and wanted to sell his Wheel Horse to be able to buy a 4-wheeler. RedSquare responded and helped him and his family until his sad passing at age 7. Then when my first grandson had to undergo open-heart surgery at age 9, you all came through for him with much love and well-wishes. He is doing fine now at age 16. When I had to have spinal fusion surgery back in 2015, again RedSquare supported me. Now, unfortunately, I am asking for my wife. Many of you who attend the Big Show refer to her as Mrs. M and are familiar with her chocolate-chip cookie bars. Well, Theresa (Mrs. M) is scheduled for spinal fusion surgery on August 24. She is in tremendous pain from a large benign arthritic cyst at the L4 level, as well as some other disk issues, and can barely move at times. The date of August 24 was booked back in June, as it was the first available date and time due to Covid-19 set-backs keeping hospitals from performing major surgeries. Two weeks ago, she went for cardiac clearance and the doctor said her tests were not normal, so she is scheduled for a cardiac catheterization this Friday. If nothing major is found, the 24th surgery can proceed, however if something else more serious is found, it could delay the back surgery for months. This would be horrific. So with this in mind, I am humbly asking that my fellow brothers and sisters here on RedSquare keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I will update this thread as warranted. Thank you!

Some pictures of my display and some other horses from fall 2019 Jacktown show. Bangor PA

I found this K-90 at an auction and it turned out to be a wheel horse spec engine dating to 1956. I attached some pictures of it as I did the paint work. I didn’t start taking pictures until then unfortunately. I then put it in a 1956 rj-35 I have

Seat on the Raider 10 was a little worn so I got a new one from one of our vertical cousins being parted out. Back was a little rusty, so I took it apart, cleaned it up, added some red paint, and it's ready for an install!

Made some good progress here today.

I picked up this C-141 hydro several years ago with the sole purpose of plowing a small suburban driveway, a task she's done perfectly. This summer we dropped a camper up on some remote family property in Maine. Previously the lawn had been taken care of by landscapers, but I saddled her with a 42" rear discharge deck and took over 3 or so acres, including some paths through the fields for the kids. Needless to say she has performed flawlessly. I tried to research this but couldn't find a firm answer: can I stick a 60" deck on C-141? The attachment mechanisms look the same to me, but I'm sure one of you knows conclusively. Thanks, Jon IMG_9342.1.mov

Model 8-3211 front mount PTO unit for 540rpm equipment like elevators. This unit replaced the earlier PTO-66

Changed the oil and filter on the transaxle for the 418-A today and found something different, the date, # of hours on machine and the # of filters replaced that the original owner engraved on the filter. I assume this was done when the Kohler M18 was removed and the KT-17 installed. I purchased this from the 2nd owner who has only had this since March and was hoping to restore it but like many of us owns other WH 's and decided to sell it. Date 11-13-01 #6 704 hours , tractor shows 967 on the hour meter and seems to run real strong and tight, sometimes looks don't show the real truth. Real tough tractors those Wheelhorse's.

We gotta get you a pair of these gloves Kev.......maybe the full body suit.

Worked on the super C abit tonite. Welded up the broken tab on the belt guard and adjusted the direction cam. Sorry no pic but a Kodak moment with the 1055!

Your local urgent care have a coffee mug with your name on it for your frequent visits? Take care of that while it heals.

Kevin so glad you healed up from the last wound. And now this Well heal up quickly and let's go a little longer before you do something like this again Without all these trips to the emergency room you could probably buy another tractor or two

Bendix wheel horse radio. These radios were made in the early 70’s for various brand garden tractors. They are AM only and mounted on the hood

Hello All, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I recently picked up an old wheel horse 877 from a cousin. He owned it for the last 50 years. I’ll try to send the pictures

The tins on this tractor had been previously repainted, but nothing else, and it showed. Definitely rode hard and put away wet many times in it's history. Such a nice running tractor, felt the old girl deserved a little love.

while looking for an erratic starting issue , i found a corrosive dust in wiring, was going to rewire 5 point connector at ignition switch, connector was trashed. found out its an OREGON PART , # 33 - 350 , 5 WAY MULTIPLE CONNECTOR , FOR IGNITION SWITCHES , MADE IN USA ! $ 7.00 , DELIVERED. got it from www. PITTAUTO.COM. ALSO PICKED UP THE TAB INSERT WIRE CONNECTORS , that bind fit into connector , for easy plug on to switch. do that tomorrow, pete

Was your current accident one of those "Here Hold My Beer " moments ?

What Kevin needs is a suit of armor. Man you need to be more careful.

Not sure this would work Craig. This boy has been known to play with fire.

Sorry bout your hand. But telling us how bad and a pic of the bandaid is like telling us how cool your horse is with a picture of the closed garage door

Yes a plug in starter . Just like Tecumseh made for some of its motors in the 1960's and 1970's.Dalez.

Dalez yea it’s an electric starter option for the K-90/k91 that was found on rj’s and suburbans but is pretty hard to find. It is chain driven and is 120vac

Is that an electrical plug at the end of the pulley cover?

The PTO-66 was introduced in 1966 to cater to the small farm. You could run 540rpm equipment like elevators on the farm with your garden tractor to keep your big tractors out working in the fields. This style is mid mount and is chain driven.

HL-22 lights were used for a short time in the early 60’s as an option for roundhoods. the same style light was also used in early 953 tractors

Manifolds are coming together!

Well mr. Bob I'm not religious and I don't pray but I've gathered up some positive karma and I'd like you to pass it along to the Mrs for me. Please do tell her that some weirdo up in the state of Maine said hello and that I hope she does well. Stay strong. Stay happy. If you get so's you want a half decent cup of coffee, come on up to Maine and I'll boil some up for you. I can't offer you much else because I'm about the same amount fine cook as I am supermodel.

Bringing this seriously off topic topic back on track 😁 I had a sh!t job this weekend adding another feed into the septic tank. 3 hours laid down core drilling diagonally through two layers of engineering brick. then if that wasn’t bad enough the wheelbarrow fell over as I was emptying the mixer 🙁

Once the 416-8 arrives I will get them all out for a photo shoot, might even suit them up with attachments - quite proud of my little herd 😊

Take a look at the right side foot rest, if it has been bumped in a little it can catch the clutch idler a little causing it to jerk, happened to mine.

This one’s for all the hot rodder souls out there, wondering why in the world someone would want a 4 cylinder turbo in a truck... It’ll still light ‘em up... This might have happened a week or so ago. It could’ve kept on keepin’ on... the pedal got lightened up to regain traction but it kept wanting to break ‘em loose

I have used these sealed bearings and am very pleased with them.Set of four for under $ 15.00 delivered to your door. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-WHEEL-BEARINGS-TORO-WHEEL-HORSE-11-0513-25-1210-110513-and-251-3-4-x-1-3-8/281473149545

As avid mountain hikers, Trina and I have been to the highest points in Maine and New Hampshire and many many of the surrounding hills. I can't quite see Europe from here. I'm sure it's close.

Its 4 am here and we are under a large thunderstorm cell. Lots of lightning and thunder which is stressing the dogs out. So we are all sitting up reading lol. Been waiting for it for days.

I bought this 520H probably about 10 years ago for parts, mainly the front axle. I had the idea I would swap it into my 314-8. The right front tire/rim was crushed by something (you see the replacement in the pic). Before I rolled it off my trailer in it’s outdoor in the weather parking spot, I figured I’d put some gas down the carb and a battery and see if it would fire. To my surprise it did - for a quick few seconds. So it’s been setting, sometimes with tarps and other times without - on the shelf. i needed to get another WH going and decided I’d try this one. New gas line, fuel filters, replacement front rim/tire, engine and transmission fluids and filters, spark plugs (air cleaner was good) and it fired off. Put a 42” rear discharge deck on and mowed some grass today. I tell my wife that these unrepaired tractors I have laying around are like good books on the shelf with chapters yet to be read. The 520H w/ 709 hrs came off the shelf for some reading this week...👍

Look boys and girls! It's a roller!

Second look here @ArturHawk me thinks you need to do an instructional on seat resto. Outstanding work!

@Jennifer, Happy Birthday! Thanks for your excitement and passion in this hobby! Thanks to for Joe, with you and him building up that collection of round hoods!

Lookin’ good Craig!

Just put a new seat on it. This seat has about a dozen hole patterns in the bottom of it. Of course not a single one lined up with the tractor. i had to drill out 4 new holes in the fender pan. Pain in the butt. Not the original but better then what was on there.

You can up grade to a 48" deck w/o any mods to the 141. The 14HP will handle the 48" deck, but I would wonder if 14HP is enough to turn a 60" deck. The 60"ers are usually powered by 20+ HP.

Beautiful picture. Where in Maine? Looks like pretty far up north judging by the distance of the hills. You can put a 60" deck on that but ONLY if you swap over to the axle that is on a 520 which has a forward sweep. Maybe other things....

HappyBirthday, @Jennifer!😊 I like your pics of your round hoods n y'all enjoying them. I dont have one, but seeing those pics always makes me think i would like to have at least 1 someday; sure look like fun!

We had an hour or so of massive storms Sunday night. The sunflowers stood tall and continue to bud!

that looks like a mean gang of workers, but I think I like the C-161’s hood rake the most!

Couldn't even see it from here.....

As far as I know, yes. I bought an idler bar kit from him back in June. Try sending him an email at glenpettit@icloud.com if you haven't tried that yet. He has been struggling with some health issues recently, so be patient.

I was also looking at the OTR "Trac Master", as I like the curved bars vs the straight ones on the Carlisle Super Lugs, but these are only available in 18-8.50x8, an inch narrower. Not sure how they would look on the 8.5" wide rim.
