And I thought the Millennial Theft Protection Device was adequate. Ain't nobody stealing @ebinmaine's truck...

We used both arms back in the day.

Filler plates welded in and made the front pilot bushing mounting plate….. with rounded corners. Also put the piece back on I cut off in my haste. Measured once, cut once and welded back in once. Time to mock up the dash tower/ mounting plates.

One is a collection as far as we are concerned...

Self driving nap machine

It’s a nice day for a tractor ride…. And a nap! @squonk no 10mm sockets, but I found Putt Putt’s (golf) balls!

My first gravel truck 5 and 4 awesome transmission combo, backing up on a muddy site had plenty of speed to make it through the soft spots. My buddy had a Kenworth highway tractor with 5/4 air shift on the auxiliary.. One day Ernie a scrap yard owner asked me to drive a load into Calgary, the morning i was to leave the 80 year old owner climbed into the jump seat. The trip was uneventful just a normal road trip but on our return Ernie said, your the first to never miss a shift on the grades and never seen anyone shift without using the clutch. The other drivers who had missed a shift on grade usually had to come to a complete stop to find a gear.

The unique feature of the 10-pinion differentials is that their pinions do not rotate on shafts or on forged-in pivots--they are loose in the body core. The LSD spring and other internal forces drive the pinions to rub against the walls of the core and the resulting friction provides the “limited slip” function. It makes sense to me that such a break in the core at that narrow section could come from excessive “outward” force on the pinions from: - a sudden shock load on the differential - a foreign object getting wedged between the pinion and the core - worn pinions exerting asymmetric loading on the core

She likes to sarcastically bring up to folks about how many tractors I have. I remind her it's not polite to brag.

This trans was full of water and the brake gear was rusted to the diff gear. I saved this horse from a scrapper about to turn it in for beer money.

I have every confidence that this will be a huge success. If not I will delete this post.

Finally checked the mail and it was here. Alex quickly ripped open the plastic and has been reading it. @Pullstart he’s really digging your Horse.

Maybe gobbler beards and tails.

You got a Tesla Self Driving system on Putt Putt?!?!?! Don't post that one on youtube... FBI drones would be on the way... Lucky girl... Lucky Pullstart...

The body core is the same on gt14, pn# 7200. Little history on the tractor, got it on the cheap, it would roll a couple of feet and stop,( not running ) push back sum and would roll a few feet stop, when I pulled it apart found a small shop rag all ripped up in transmission. Someone was in there before, changed out bolts and lock nuts. Rebuilt the piston to piston pump. Will try and get parts to fix this on

That is why you look at the service bulletin. 2 piece mushroom gear, 8 pinion differential with axles are needed. 8 pinion axles are the same length, 10 pinion axles are not the same length. The parts replace said parts in your 10 pinion transmission or get a whole different 8 pinion transmission and bolt that in.

A 24x12x12 on a 10 or 10.50 wheel is doable but there will be fitment issue to deal with. I think the 9.50 on a 520 8.5 wheel will give you everything you need for the tractor except looks, but looks got nothing to do with function.

An NOS 4 wheel wagon goes for around $800. A restored one would be south of that, but probably more then $500. Pictures would help. This one was NOS. This one was $500

Try that in a Deuce driving cross country and when the wheel kicks you might have a broken arm

Speaking of 8 pinion, if you can not find that piece, you could go 8 pinion differential. That would still be 1 1/8" axles. There is a Service Bulletin that tells you what you need to make the change. Just a thought. Also, it would get you running while you search for the Limited Slip part(s).

Interesting...but sort of explains why when the gas drilling support companies buy new Tri axle water bottles they get automatics.... 43 years ago trying to teach a bunch of GIs (about 35% female) how to drive 5 speed 2-1/2 tons wonder that any of the clutches survived. one of my company clerks (female) almost put me through he windshield of the M-151. I should add the Army gave up... When the Deuces were overhauled and upgraded to M35A3 they got Automatics. 3/4 tons were replaced with commercial utility Dodges later GM's all autos.. Jeeps by Hummves also autos

Crank measures out within specs. I took measurements at 12 different spots & it is only .0003" out of round. Tolerance for out of round according to the manual is .0005" so a stock rod should be good.

The 4 wheel wagons are a sought after item. Some one will be along with an estimated value. When you decide on a price please post it in our want adds section with a picture or two. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/for-sale/

Unfortunately it's at the point of needing to go all out.

I can do that after grinding it out a few times. 😃

Dart board?

Awesome news! A puff out the carb tells me either timing, or possibly a valve cleaning/adjustment is needed. It might be worth pulling the head and inspecting the valves. That rumble could be a carboned up combustion chamber, or could indicate needing carburetor adjustment too.

hi men, many moons ago a guy from PA was bringing me 5 wh tractors. it was close to my birthday. the guy pulls up in front of the house and my wife comes out and say's "which one is yours?" i replied "all of them". she just shook her head and went inside. she has gotten me back though more than once. i came home one day to find we had a new living room set. i said "how much did that cost?" she replied "how many wh's do you have?' i did not say another word. worst part was i had to pay for the living room set and i do not like it.

Mt first time seeing one of these. Didn't know they existed.

Before and after, got quite a bit carbon out of the combustion chamber.

It used to drive my ex nuts but I haven’t parked a vehicle in my 2 car garage since I moved in. My grandfather used to shoe horn a full size sedan and his small 2 wheel drive pick up in it plus his wheel horse. Me on the other hand use it all for wheel horses.

Heaven forbid ... I thought they was shrunken heads...

Milkey or a whitish brown... you'll know it on the dip stick or when draining right off.

I call them "tundra bunnies" Cas. I create them from deer and elk feet.

Plenty of blue PeeAaa tractors at the auction today....no reds though. I did pick up some AC parts that will be listed in other tractor classified.

I'll bet she's gonna be an 800-pounder when completed! As always- excellent fab work!

Well technically, none are finished. I just stop where I stop and "tweak" little things forever more afterward ... But one on the stand, and another almost ready to take back apart and paint is kinda where I've been since last year. Heck I still have carb work to do on the 523-H!

People get freaked out by having too many speeds. Seen it quite a few times. Easy enough to find one. Some folks "get" machinery. Some don't. That's perfectly fine. There's things I shouldn't do either....

Hydros don't matter here and are off topic. On the other hand, a 10 pinion holder piece from a hydro is probably the same as the manual trans as far as part number.

I was at a job site today delivering a whole pile of cabinets. The guy there doing the stairway is also the one installing the cabinets, sometime next week. We got to shooting the breeze back and forth like folks will do. On the way out the door he hands me the item in the picture below and says "something for your time?" Like it's a cash tip... 😃 I'm sure most of you will realize that's just a cut off piece of the wrap for the stairway posts. I looked at that and laughed and told him if I brought that home my woman would sure as anything make somethin' out of it. He says, "Really?? Here. Take it. Seriously. Bring it home and tell her to make a small picture frame or something...." I told him I'd let him know..

I am the same. I often tell folks that I'm no welder- but I can stick two pieces of steel together so they don't pull apart ...

I want this on a t-shirt...

It's a low temperature solder alloy. Don't know the specifics, but I'll guess tin/antimony. And FWIW, solder is not the best choice for electrical connections. It's good enough for low current through-hole circuit boards and other connections where convenient speed of assembly is a high priority. But really, solder is a much poorer conductor than copper. If you need high reliability or high current capability, crimp or twist first to get good copper contact, then you can flow some solder in to fill and exclude environmental corrosion. Point being, copper should be counted on for most of the electrical work, while solder only does a little but can help in other ways. The self-soldering shrink-on splices don't impress me, and I don't carry or use them.

You can't leave a Wheel Horse without a home. It has to be done, even if you have to add an addition on to the garage.

In my wiring job today, I used a few of these for some 6 gauge wire. I put a piece of heavy duty heat shrink tubing on either wire just past the stripped end, then slid a larger heat shrink tube over a wire and assembled… then heat shrinked the splice as well. It’s in a breaker box, and I wanted to be sure the wires couldn’t touch each other.

Twist the wires together, solder them, slide shrink wrap over the bare section and seal. Best butt connection there is. Second choice if you want a crimp connection. https://www.waytekwire.com/item/31965/16-14GA-Heat-Shrink-Blue/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwrLx_IS9_AIVBA-tBh24sgOkEAQYBSABEgL-t_D_BwE

When we lived in Florida and had a trip coming up my wife would ask if we were going to be pulling the trailer. There always seemed to be a Wheel Horse for sale on near the route we would be traveling. Funny how that works out.

Moving along on this project. Welded up the one corner that was bad on the hood. Patched the hole that a PO had cut for I'm assuming an exhaust stack. Then after many taps with a hammer & dolly I was able to get the hood to fit on the tractor like it should. Pulled the head off to find a nice surprise. Everything was super clean with a puddle of oil on top of the piston. Not a good thing.. The cylinder walls are polished to a chrome like finish and there is a nice ridge at the top. Knowing what needed to be done I proceeded to tear the engine down for rebuilding. After measuring it looks like .020 over on the cylinder and a stock rod should set things back in order. In the back ground of this pic you can also see that I was able to get some blasting done as well.
