@Easton Rich If this is the one you’re thinking of then, yes!! I’m very happy the Work Horse is the featured tractor as I am the original owner of this machine.

Well we all know this year's big show show cases the workhorse model tractors. So here is my gt1100 with a kohler m10. Doing cleaning and maintenance. Snapchat-575498874.mp4

Just to add a little bit of Big Show flavor to this thread, this is the B-100 that I built from scrap to have at my first WHCC show in 2010. Fifteen years later, here is the same B-100 today. Tires are a little dusty, and the trees in the background are a little bigger (and so is Bob)

B-100 gets ready for a new battery.

I found some 1-3/8” copper ends with 1/4” hole in the center. Pressed a slot in the hole and the same on a small fender washer. Tacked new ring above from a piece of truck dip stick. Below a tack on the washer, then the rubber between. “Had water handy to prevent stinky rubber smoke!”

Axle repaired. Outer axle bearings and seals replaced. Regal red and ready for the shelf...just a backup in case the 10-pinion fails in a worker but wanted to get it done while a had the motivation

Not much, but it's on all fours. Still gotta finish the rear wheels. The fronts are likely temporary, but the originals are nasty and will take a while. I got tired of it being on the stand and at least it looks like a tractor a little more now. Haven't even started the sheet metal but I set the hood on for grins...

Used mower FOR SALE, may need a patch welded in!

In case you not seen it some cool Slow Mo of Blades Cutting Grass

B-80 gets a little polish

I should of just drove up there yesterday too but adding the 45 minutes to the ride was a no go for the wife. Then, she says "Just go" (with big sour puss on her face) so now it would be my fault we didn't go because "I" decided not to go! LOL It was one of those loose loose situations.

Still haven't taken the crank to be ground so I fixed another issue: the left front spindle was wallowed out enough to let the wheel wobble a bit, so I welded the hole for the roll pin up and re-drilled it. Surprisingly it all worked out and fit perfectly. Since my front axle was one of my clear coat guinea pigs, I had to strip it back to bare metal and repaint it. The 2 part clear coat is good stuff, but it shrinks more than a weenie in winter. The base coat needs to be properly cured before applying it. Anyway, I used the rustoleum clear over the base and it looks good enough. The spacers on the spindles are just temporary. My original wheels are gonna take a great deal of work before I can use them.

Cam 2 Reminds me of this old lady who bought a brand new Monte Carlo SS every year from 85-89 where I worked. She would bring a car into the service lane to make her appointment. Then do a burnout when she left. Store owner would come out and say I know what burned rubber smells like but what else do I smell?

They call it “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” — for a reason. The Indianapolis 500 is the world’s most iconic automobile race. Indy cars, as opposed to the stock cars of NASCAR, whiz around the 2.5-mile oval track at speeds exceeding 200 mph for a total of 500 miles. First run in 1911, the race is now held on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway — known to racing fans around the world as the Brickyard. If you go, get there early, bring sunscreen, and get set to witness motorsports history. On the same day the NASCAR Coca Cola 600 will be contested at the Charlote Motor speedway and Kyle Larson will attempt to run the full 1100 miles of racing in one day. Last year’s attempt was unsuccessful due to rain. John Andretti was the first driver to attempt the feat, on May 29, 1994. In 2001, Tony Stewart became the first and only driver to date to complete all 1,100 miles of both races in the same day. Five drivers (Andretti, Robby Gordon on five occasions, Stewart twice, Kurt Busch, and Kyle Larson) have attempted.

I could probably win a race going to get a hot dog. I watched most of tube stuff on dag and circle cars amazing chain of events

Kinda like the "Race your Weenie Day!

I guess the Amish got that one.

A very small thing but it's important: my lift lock spring was worn out. I installed a new one with a bit more tension.

Just got this one. 1965 L-155. Needs some tlc, I cleaned the carb and got it running. It has an external coil conversion, which I like, makes replacement a lot easier. The 4th photo is not mine, is just for reference as I am looking for the air filter that fits in that housing. The parts manual doesnt show an air cleaner, at least the manual I downloaded doesnt.

It still never gets old seeing these old wheelhorse's getting redone. All the shiny paint and new shoes!

Firestone tri rib tires in excellent shape on nice rims. Included is entire front axle out of my 418 including spindles. Great setup if you want to convert your small front tires machine to large tire. These tires are 200 a pair new. The tie rods are all new as well. 250 firm.

Got Ole' Rusty back together with new (to me) hydraulic lines. Wouldn't you know, I had the ports switched on the valve! Had to take it 1/2 apart again to make it right. What a PITA!! My bad. I shudda looked at the diagram instead of relying on my (bad) memory! All good now. I can mow the hay field of a yard and get a certain someone off my back.

It's just the bulkier sheetmetal. Remove that and they are identical.

Don't think so. Always thought them to be pretty much the same, just different sheet metal and safety features.

Looks like the guys have you fixed up. May I suggest you remove the PTO, then run it to confirm the location of the oil leak. Tell us a little about yourself and your Horse

Get a bity smoother ride if ya' put air in them there tires.

Best tag that so you remember.

Around $26 for a 1/2 X 107

Kyle, where is the supercharger? We know you can't drive anything without MORE POWER!

Many of us use the Kevlar belts from Tractor Supply with good results.

My form of non ethanol last trip was cam 2 race fuel… that price is so much better but does jot smell as good😂

Picked this up for $50 today, great parts machine and she has the deep/wide rear wheels. Plus matching fronts..plus who knows what else.

No fuel?... to test, spray just a little bit of starting fluid directly into the carb, while craking the engine. If it fires, then you have a fuel problem...maybe needle seat valve in the carb....may bad fuel pump...maybe plugged fuel line...maybe fuel shuit ff valve is closed...

A high lift blade on my Honda HR214 walk behind will suck the worms out of the ground!!!

I thought you rolled them in powdered sugar...

Yes, but I would love to have a Fusion with the specs I listed.

All this talk about oilers. I go to a yard sale and lo and behold!

Not to mention, how super PAINFUL it would be to watch cars going that "stock" slow. Back in the day it was fast.

Part number for MV16 seal is different than M16

When I was in college there were two Sheetz stations, one right by the entrance to campus, the other across town near where I worked along the main retail strip. Always at least a 10 cent difference. I asked the manager at the cheaper on once what was up with that and she told me she had no idea, that corporate just told them where to set the prices and the stores had to say.

Maybe I should run down the street a piece and spread the news. There is an old feller about 1.5 miles from me that has a Work Horse.

Down the rabbit hole I go! This guy talks about using horse power I tried this thing and it pushed into the governor. Vega-matic

I have been using SAE 40 non-detergent in my 1055 for years without any problems. If this were an Indianapolis 500 race car it probably wouldn't be adequate, but for a garden tractor going less than 5 MPH it is fine.

great looking repair manic mechanic! as you know the official motto of the marines is semper fidelis. however, your repair reminds me of clint eastwood in the movie heartbreak ridge when he says: improvise, adapt and overcome. well done marine!

Amazing to me how the price of gas varies from place to place. For some reason our town (10 gas stations) is usually the highest priced. Currently 87 e-gas is $2.89. Drive west 8 miles to a one gas station town and it's $2.79. Head east 18 miles to a 3 or 4 gas station town it's $2.69. Head south to Springfield MO fuel can be as cheap $2.44. I don't think it's taxes that vary that much. At least it's only 1 1/2 miles to ethanol free 91. I'm thinking it's 3.36 per gallon.

I think 40W was recommended at the time, but I use 85/140 GL5 gear oil. My 856 ran fine with it.

Not much, bit it's on all fours now.
