Leaf blower I put together

Rolling the stone pad for the new shed made for some great tire tread pics

That blower fan must run rather fast. Some time back a few people relater the story of their fans blowing apart from spinning too fast. Mine has the same pulley that was used when it was used in the Heat/AC duct and works fine. I need to paint mine so it will look pretty like yours.

Found it. 1-1/2" is correct. https://gardentractorpullingtips.com/a1ign.htm Scroll down the page a bit.

Same here…

I’ll never forget where I was and what I was doing and how that day instantly affected me.

Best save some of that for plow day @Andy N.

I did a few final tweaks on the B-80 Reborn. I had to replace the fuel filter due to a little leak. Then it was time for it's maiden voyage. I have no clue why but it took just shy of 7 hours to download this. It never occurred to me that I could have added a little chit-chat but I think I was just enjoying how well the K-181 sounded. I think it's pretty cool. 48 years ago I loaded this brand new B-80 up at Chandler Sales. It wasn't long before I 'converted' it to a C-160. 40+ years later it's back to being a B-80

i bought a kit from my local auto parts store. you add the dye to whatever you are working on. run the engine, tranny, whatever. then put on these kit supplied yellow glasses then you use the supplied black light and wolla! you can then see the leak. the kit was reasonable $$$ regards mike

I am sorry that I am not there now in the country and the people that I love to remember together. It is however for ever in my heart . Never forget or stop celebrating those who sacrificed so much that day.

I found a seat pan that is getting reinforced with a few welds on the corners and then off to powder coat so I can mount up the great looking setup I got from Matt!

Excellent! I’ve been considering doing the same thing so I don’t have to deal with backing up a trailer. Well done!

This one sitting in a field rotting away. So I rescued it. Tractor heavy and already have a 856 that needs love and I can't seem to give away. Saw it at a show several weeks ago and it was sitting there crying save me save me. I jokingly offered the owner a frankie for it and much to my surprise he took it. Motor was locked up so pulled it back to camp for a look see. @Achto @Wild Bill 633 and I commenced to wrenching to find out the motor is free but the SG is tight. Got it loosened up and messed with the points. Exhaust valve stuck open ... pop the head and free that up. Fired right off and drives. Service motor and seller says he has the original I could have but knowing him doubt I'll see it. Four year old Battery was stone cold dead... not a volt in it. Threw it on a charger and it did take a charge and seems to be holding it. Surprise surprise. Tires are abit needy but nothing serious. Best part everything is there, original cigar lighter woo hoo, and fairly unmolested. On the splash pad ready for a bath... sheet metal really straight. Seat & hitch worth the price of admission...

Same here. I was in the 5th grade and didn’t know until I got home and my stepdad explained what happened. It’s the first horrific event I was ever made aware of in my lifetime. The first time I learned that are really bad people in the world.

Approximate shipping weight 32" is 60 lbs. 36" is 78 lbs.

Now why didn't I think of that? Ummmmm, what did you say? It must have used a bunch of something. Our internet service is surprisingly good but it was toast as this thing downloaded. Don't think my wife was happy about that.

If you have 3 or 4 tractors it is well worth spending a few buck for one of these

We have an expression in Canada goes something like this FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! New Battery. Fired right up. Feel really embarrassed. I've picked up 3 or 4 tractors this year and I guess a bad battery got in the 312. Tested at 13 volts but dropped to 6 volts under load. This is what comes from being a cheap bastard and not getting a new battery immediately for any new-to-me tractor.

Oh, darn.

Two squeezes and she fires right up...

Those 1100's have a habit of burping out the dipstick tube. Tie a cloth around it and check it from time to time to see if it gets soaked.

If you set the exhaust valve while it was on the ACR (Automatic Compression Relief ) pin, then the ACR would no longer be doing it's job. This would cause your engine to turn over hard or stop when it hit the compression stroke. If your engine has points, try static timing them. I have used this method to turn hard to start engines into 1 pull wonders. https://www.mgonitzke.net/cubcadet/tools/static_timing.pdf

@grif63 I forgot to give you a source for transmission kits. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/manual-transmissions/ You should require kit #1. There are 2 versions of the kit, with or with out the 1533 bearings. Take a look around the rest of this site too. He has many parts for our old 's

I know the pulley get stuck on the mule drive---very tough to get off without damage. Here is my method. I cut a 1" wide slot 6" deep in the top of my workbench made of 3/8" plate steel. (1)Take the mule drive cover off. (2) slide the mule assembly inner pulley into the slot so the pulley lays flat on the surface. (3) thread the big cover retaining nut back on to where it is flat with the end of the shaft. (4) hold a ball peen or brass hammer on the flat of the big nut (5) whack that brass or ball peen with a bigger hammer. This hasn't failed me yet...

my version of the Brinly dump cart

Found them online a couple years back, never been able to find any since. If I do, there will be another set coming!

Frozen slot hitch ...now after weeks of being shot with WD 40, Liquid wrench, and PB blaster( all now empty) I drilled two holes into the slot hitch and sprayed with more PB blaster it broke free!.. I have taped the holes and added grease zerks and a new lift cable and I can use the hitch! The pin doesn't move sideways...but doesn't matter size the slot hitch moves and will not be using a tiller anytime soon.

I went from a flip phone all these years, to an iPhone 14 Pro back in November. I chose it for the apple connections to the rest of the family as well, and for the excellent camera. Other than it consuming a lot of my time, I don’t have regerts on the phone choice.

Celebrated what we did 61 years ago. Took the family of 18 to breakfast. Sept 8 1963

Here’s a few!

Does anyone know where I can buy 7"deck wheels for my 42 inch rd deck ? I can find 6 " and 8" ,but not 7".

Disclosure: been using iPhones since I had to buy my own -- 11 years (my employer took back their Blackberry when I left). I agree completely with @TractorEd that all-Apple or all-Android is the only way to have the best collaboration across all mediums. I'll add that if you expect tech support from your relatives, go with what they have and if splashing out some extra cash means not buying another tractor, well, it’s easier to store a phone than a tractor. BTW, one can easily get “not the latest” iPhones from online vendors and off the ‘bay or CL (with caution). I’d go no older than a 10 or 11, though, or the more recent SE. Apple support (via the Genius Bar at Apple Stores) is quite handy as are regular security updates from Apple. Not all Android vendors support older models or provide regular software updates for them for more than a few years.

@ebinmaine No, but I checked it before I left for the meet. It seemed fine, and not white like it is with water in the oil. When I first got it, I changed the transmission oil. I store it under cover in my relatively heated basement. The shifter boot was toast and came off in pieces.

That also works. Just be sure to remove the old pump and blank off the crankcase. You don't want pressurized fuel leaking into the crankcase thru an old fuel pump diaphragm.

My wife is an avid quilter and has more sewing machines than I have Wheel Horses. A few of her machines cost more than my entire herd so I don't have to justify the expenditure. Yesterday she went to a Quilters' Guild get together and came home emptyhanded she must be slipping.

I’ve spent the last 12 years as a mobile application software engineer and I could fill some pages up with related info, but let me be brief. Until Google (Android) and Apple can be friends (way way off in the future) there are a couple of gotchas with mixing the 2 within a family and friends group. FaceTime video calling is Apple only. In order to do that type of thing with Android users, you’d have to use something like Facebook Messenger’s video calling (it’s ok, but not a great feature) which is available on both platforms. Same sort of limitation with Android. Similarly, text messaging between individuals and groups between the 2 platforms is hindered by competing forces. Sending pics and videos via text (iMessage for Apple, SMS mostly for Android) results in low (like sometimes really, really bad) quality pics/videos for the user(s) on the other end. In short, if there is a mix of Android and Apple in your family/friend group, you’ll have to settle for not such a wonderful experience. If everyone in your group is on one of the platforms only, then communications will be as good as it can get. It doesn’t matter which platform as long as it’s across the board. Just one person on a different platform means everyone’s experience with communications (whether text or video calling) will suffer. There have been lawsuits filed and there has been some movement to get Apple and Google to cooperate, but it’s not here today. Both platforms are great. Both companies are innovative. And if you don’t text or video call with people then it doesn’t even matter, lol. edit: I blame Apple for not playing nice. 😊 edit 2: because Google does have a larger market share, so Apple has to innovate and make their platform special. edit 3: remember the browser wars? Yeah, that’s still a thing, and now we have mobile OS wars where Apple and Google are the only players left. edit 4: I used to recommend Android. I now use Apple and have to communicate with some Android users who I recommended it to back then; sigh, lol. Now I recommend what I said in the paragraphs above.

Congratulations Ed and Mrs. K. There have been 22,282 days from the day you were married up to today. If you’ve been sleeping 8 hours daily since then you have slept a total of 7,427 days or 20.33 years. You spent 33% of your life sleeping. Since night and day always follow each other, there were precisely 754 full moons after you were born up to this day. On Sunday, September 8th, 1963 77th US Women’s Tennis: Maria Fraser beats Margaret Smith Court #1 US song: My Boyfriend's Back by The Angels #1 UK song: She Loves You by The Beatles Popular movie: The Executioner of Venice directed by Luigi Capuano. Scottish Lotus driver Jim Clark wins the Italian Grand Prix at Monza to clinch his first F1 World Drivers Championship; Clark's 5th GP win of the season. Milwaukee Braves future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Warren Spahn ties Christy Mathewson with 13 x 20-win seasons. The 16 Gemini astronaut candidates began training in parachute landing techniques. The training involved being towed to 400 feet by a parasail, then releasing the towline and gliding to the ground. This training was necessary because in a low-level abort, the pilot would eject from the spacecraft and need to descend by parachute. But your wedding had to be the most enduring of all of these events. All of the sports records have been surpassed, new movies and songs have come and gone but you are still going strong.

It was a nice day so Mrs.W and I headed out for a walk in the countryside around where we live. We would usually drive onto Derbyshire where our nearest National park is. But locally we have plenty of greenery and sites to visit. We started off at Wentworth Woodhouse, the largest house front in Europe. A spectacular building which was the country seat of the Fitzwilliam family until the family died out in the early 20th century. Walking down the front parkland we crossed the fields to the family mausoleum, but I couldn't get a decent shot of it as it's closed in winter. A good way further on we passed Hoober Stand, a landmark built by the sane family as a tribute to a rebellion that was crushed. It is actually three sided so technically a pyramid. A little further on and we pass the Needles eye, another folly or garden ornament built by the Fitzbillies. Originally a solid obelisk one of the Earls hollowed it out to make a kind of gateway so he could run a straight road from Wentworth to Pontefract racecourse so he could travel direct to watch his horses run. Local legend has it that he bet a friend that his coachman was so good he could steer his coach through the eye of a needle. He won of course because he had his own needle and could prove the bet. Calling off at the Earls colliery workshops we had lunch before returning to the Woodhouse over the fields. so many buildings I missed off and didn't photograph because to us they are just part of the landscape. For example, cottages with outdoor toilets and a "nightsoil" window halfway up the wall. A horse and cart would pull up beneath the window each week and "nightsoilmen" would shovel out the effluent through the window for fertiliser. We had a similar toilet in my first home just 56 years ago. Also, telephones were not affordable in your house when I was a kid. So it was off down the street to phone box, assuming you had someone to call, as no one else had a phone. This is the type of cast iron phone kiosk but as we all have mobiles now it's been repurposed. This is a final view of Hoober Stand, the pyramid tower. Just wanted to show the scale of it. Still open to visitors in summer you can see York Minster on a clear day. Hope you enjoyed the little trip round our back yard. It's nothing on the scale of what you guys in the states have, buy it's still purdy impressive for us. One of the Fitzwilliam family was beheaded in the Tower of London, he was a friend of King Charles the 1st and was commanded to attend court in London, believing he would not be in trouble with his friendly king. He did however fear the worst but still went knowing some had it in for him. He lost his head for his troubles, but not long after Charles lost his too. Funny that we nowhave Charles the 3rd on the throne. Opposite almost called him the second, good job I spotted it given his ancestors penchant for lopping off bonces.

Welcome to Red Square Kevin. Manual 1. All of the Wheel Horse transmissions with 10 pinion differentials are limited slip. Also, only the 10 pinion differentials are limited slip. All limited slip transmissions are geared with the hi/low range selector and have 1 1/8" axles. 2. The #5060 & #5071 are considered 6 speeds...the brake drum is on the 11/44 toothed "mushroom" gear. 3. The #5073 is considered an 8 speed...the brake drum is on the cluster gear shaft. 4. The #5060, #5071 & #5073 are all 10 pinion limited slip. Hyrdo 1. Wheel Horse also made a hydro transaxle with 10 pinion differential...which is a limited slip. Also, all Wheel Horse 3 & 4 speed transmissions have 4 pinion differentials and 1" axles. Wheel Horse transmissions that are 8 speed...if they have 1" axles, they have 4 pinion differentials also. The difference between 3 and 4 & 8 speed Wheel Horse transmissions is where the brake drum is mounted. The 3 speed is on the 11/44 toothed (mushroom) gear. The 4 & 8 speeds have the brake drum on the cluster gear shaft. As far as what is better, the guys that are making "pullers" want the 8 pinion differentials. The guys that are using Wheel Horses for what they were designed are happy with either one and some guys have both. One other thing...the limited slip transmission is not a true posi-traction like in cars. The limited slip transmission uses it's limited slip abilities "only" when going in a straight line. The transmission acts like a regular transmission when turning.
