Like I said the other day we put some stuff away over the weekend. My 2 rj-58’s, 753, and 603. Plus my oldest son’s all original 856. The last piece of the puzzle is Wheelhorse_kid’s 604 up top. Plus he has 2 small engines (Briggs and Stratton WMB and a Continental) up there along with my spare Kohler K90. This is the beefed up version of what I have had for years. It helps get some out of the way. It’s nice to have my garage back. I have plenty of projects I’d like to work on in there lol.

I went and got 3 more tractors last night. a huffy model H 1016 is the model it like a mustang mower if you have heard of one, the engine is free 5 hp briggs , a bonanza "truck" tractor witch is blue and is pretty neat, engine turns looks complete 8 or 10 hp electric start briggs , and a craftsman 131.96285 with a tecumpseh, engine is stuck and steering is stuck, and it looks complete also, has a plastic hood, but I got them for a great deal $150 for all them in a week or 2 I'm going back to get the Springfield 36. for more on top of these 3. there neat I'll get them unloaded when I get home and get some pictures of each of them.

We still lived in Florida when I drove to Jacksonville to check out some puppies. They were just looking for a good home and I ended up taking one. I asked when they were born and it was December 4th. Easy to remember because that's my birthday too. OK, fine. It was on the way home with the puppy that I realized the house address where she was at was 1954. The year I was born. 🙂

Geez and I thought I had too much time on my hands watching the clock for 702...753... 855... 953...1054...

hello all, i just learned that the simsbury ct small airport has ethanol free gas. i was told they would sell to the general public in approved gas containers.. the only catch is, if they ask you tell them the gas is for your airplane. i do not know how much it costs or what octane. the phone number is 860-459-1575 hope this helps us all. sparky, maquest says the airport is 33 miles from andover. regards mike in mass. but, i work in ct

I've always been fascinated by numbers and sequences of numbers, but last night I happened to look at my watch. It was 9:24. The date was 9/24, and my address is 924 Chapel Rd. Nothing special happened, and I'm still alive. Just sayin'

Leaves haven’t started to turn much yet in NC, but the mowing intervals have dropped to once every two weeks. Much of the grass is turning yellow as well. I am no fan of cold, but I certainly don’t mind a break.

Thank you all!! Applied a bit more warmth and applied more acetone/atf bug juice and it broke free. Actually moves pretty well now after a lot of back and forth. Going to get the screws out of the butterfly and pull the shaft soak it berrymans then some time in the ultra sonic cleaner...

We have coyote issues up here. The coyotes impact the deer population that is a big money maker for the state. They wreak havoc on farms with cows, chickens etc…Coyote trappers come through my area every so often, and thin them out, but they bounce back.

The only way I know to remove cured high strength Loctite is with heat.....

Alright, I finally bought one without asking you guys 27 million questions. It’s a b80 8 speed for 350 dollars. Runs drives but needs a new carburetor that it comes with. I will show pictures this week. This is my second WH

Drag racer Big Daddy Don Garlits boasted that his "Swamp Rat" launched so well it was likely to alter the rotation of the earth.

Here they firstly protected the Wolf by Law, but now after their populations grows, they droped the Protection down an also a Wolf can be shot if his dna is found by a killed sheep herd or a Cow herd. How this will be controlled is out of my knowledges because i never see a Wolf with a DNA Tag on his neck. Some our laws also here are very weird.

Wild boar correct prepared is delicous....😎

Good question Ed... They say them wild hogs make ok table fare. Always here ... I guess thats why a season on them is open 24/7/365 here. Night or day. One of these years I'm gonna take up the sport.

Here all Hunters must definitely be certified by Goverment, even when you want privatly hunting. As far as i knew this is differently to the States. If you be certified you can pay a Tax to be a owner of a hunting Area - if you have the Luck to get one - because they be held for long terms. The yearly Tax depends on the Areal. The cheapest i from a Friend i know start from about 50.000/year up to.... When you „own“ than a hunting Area you be responsible for it and you can sub license it to others but only with a hunting certification, The hunting certification is allway‘s required. But it‘s hard to get a own hunting Area because they be mostly handed over since Generations. Hunt without any certification is strictly prohibited by Law and can sent you quickly in Jail. You be allowed to go with a hunter without permission but you be not allowed go by yourself, even if it is your own Property. Luckily my Neighbor is a licensed Hunter with several own hunting Areals all combined are definitely huge. This are all the Forrests, i was allowed to ride arround with my Tractas or the Subi. I didn‘t know how much it is at all but the Areal i fly for him are 18 Fields including the 6 Forrests. He has several sub licensed hunters.

I personally believe that a lot of the equilibrium issues are due to the huge road trains travelling back and forth across Australia. Sometimes cancelled out by @Pullhosen’s Pony Express and his big rig travelling in the opposite direction, but exacerbated when both are going the same way. I think gravity would stop us from ‘Falling’ off if we tipped right over, we may experience a state of mild dizziness for a short time, and the only way we would know afterwards was if the water going down the plug hole swirled in the opposite direction to before? All of this deep thought is making me feel that I need to increase my 🥃🥃glasses of Jack Daniel’s to 🥃🥃🥃🥃 before bed time!🤪🤪🤪🤪

They be hunted down. i give our Hunters the info where they go in and out and they Watch them. Boars here make unbelievable damages if they be in a Field. sometimes they destroy all internally except the lst 4 rows to outside.

That’s one way to do a tranny flush!

Yup, fall is here definitely. How to estimate - we have no penguins here as sign of fall. two simple signs .... Temps don’t rises they just - fall - that simple 🤪😂 Lot’s of quotations for droneflights But now not for fawn saving - they want inspection flights over the Cornfields if and where boars are in. that is for me the sign - fall is here.

of you busting yer stones trying to move it! This is why we have FELs ...

60" deck takes 6205-2RS bearings. Two per spindle.

If the continents drift to one side, won't that make a flat earth flip upside down?

My guess is someone used red loctite on the screws for the throttle butterfly. It ran down the shaft, pooled at the bottom and locked the shaft in place. Heat up the bottom of the carb where the pocket for the shaft is. I think that will free it up. Then you can get the screws out, take the shaft out and clean everything up.

STILL has more potential than an offshore generic imitation one....

Thank You, Everyone My wife and I just returned from spending a few days at the beach in the RV. With the summer crowds gone we had a relaxing time and the beach almost to ourselves.

just as another reference -- i have family in upstate NY Adirondacks - - the E-free Recreational gas as its called is 91 octane and about $ 4.90 per gallon typically

Have a Great Day @Gregor . Thanks for your input and beautiful Tractors you created over the years.

In Michigan open season for coyotes is July 15-April 15 with a base license. However, you can take coyote at any time without a hunting license on private land by the landowner or designee if the coyote is or is about to damage property, pets, livestock or humans.

Happy Borned on Day, @Gregor

He won't but his boy will... he's a pretty good half assed mechanic and better than his old man... Say your sized lawn you should have a z turn ... i have for sale a green and ... nevermind...

The wild boars are also a problem here in the USA. Mainly in our southern states where they destroy crops and forests. Are your boar hunters professional government appointed or can any private citizen hunt?

@oliver2-44 Jim, have a great day!

Thought she was getting loud, this was the only one that felt bad but I don't piss around and they are all gunna get done. No damage on this spindle other than the bearing! Hopefully I won't find any surprises!

That right there is a whole new definition of stupid; and you can't fix stupid!

So that's how one fords a river...

Good point. I just question everything and try to think outside the box. BTW, Mrs K says sometimes I look like I should be living in a cardboard box in the alley.

Welp, we added another to the herd. It’s a C-121 been sitting for a few years. Came with a whole bunch of miscellaneous wheelhorse parts. Got the tractor home hooked up a new battery to it cranked and no spark. Took the points cover off cleaned and regapped the points and cleaned the spark plug and she fired right up! Going to post a few things we got with the tractor for sale soon. Seat as you’ll see if a wreck. PO gave us a few other seats including a short back WH seat I think I’m going to put on it. Also got 1 hubcap that I’m going to make something cool with! This week me and my dad will go through it change all the fluids drive belt (which is also a wreck) replace the fuel line front to back and change the plug and air filter, Then she’ll be a great worker!

Picked up the 1054 yesterday. All body there except clutch side panel and front/rear lense covers. Gentleman said he had it running 5yrs ago but he hasnt messed with it since but has been stored in shed until 3wks ago. Hydraulics worked at that time also. Think i am going to leave as it is paint wise, clean rims up, get new front tires and get seat redone.

The PO of my 312-8 did the same thing to the starter. Once it was running after jumping the solenoid with a screwdriver it ran good as well. 40$ later from Amazon and the starter was good. I haven’t had a problem with the fuse holder yet though.

That looks like the stage of production where they should have put Never-Seize on the steering shaft and the roll pin that goes through it!! 😂
