Decided to make a mount a pressure washer for my gt14 works pretty good. Way better than pulling a cart around the house.

I tried this contraption a few years ago, worked pretty good.

February 27, 1960, Two decades before the famed "Miracle on Ice," another underdog U.S. Olympic hockey team defeats the Soviet Union team in the semifinals at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, California. The next day, the U.S. beats Czechoslovakia to win its first-ever Olympic gold medal in hockey. Update: they did it again sixty-six years later.

When I got my first horse, iSaveTractors' parts and some of their videos accelerated my success. I just saw this post on FB and thought it was worth sharing here.

Another option is this brake cable from napa around $20 and you can get 2 cables out of it, by cutting it in half. It's handled everything I have thrown at it. Or since this is for around a 2004 Chevy crew cab brake cable you can get it for free by cutting it out of @Pullstart's truck

So I seem to have left y'all hangin' here. I found some time tonight to letter the hood & engine fan shroud. I wish that I had more to show but I've been dealing with O.P.S ( Other People's Sh..tuff). Got a Scrub Cadet that I'm painting this weekend and I also have a Simple-city paint job to get off my plate before I will get back to my own project. TTFN.

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

Maybe I tend make'm a bit stronger! then LOL

He can do a better job sloshed than I can do stone cold sober ...

Two different setups. The “winch” here is the tractor’s rock shaft, anchored to the tractor at its pivot and pulling when rotated. 1. Winch doing the pulling is anchored, sn_tch block attached to load being moved, cable end anchored (along with winch) Load is spread across the two legs of cable between the winch and the sn_tch block. Each cable carries half the load; winch pulling on one cable against its half of the load winds two inches of cable to move the load one inch. 2. Winch doing the pulling is attached to the sn_tch block, one cable end attached to load being moved, one cable end anchored. Load is spread across the two legs of the cable: sn_tch block to load and sn_tch block to anchor. Each cable carries half the load. Winch pulling on sn_tch block carries the full load of both cables and moves one inch to move the load two inches (since moving the block can only move the load-attached cable, not the one anchored). Note: complete spelling of sn_tch in this context is a prohibited word in the website software’s dictionary

If he finished that glass before getting it done. LOL

They find me handsy. Is that close enough?

Well maybe not quite free but dang cheap. No offense Lowell but they can get somewhat pricey when one has more than one tractor. No idea if this will work but won't be for lack of tryin. Hardware store cable with a blob of braze on the end.

Happy Birthday Mike @squonk, we are all glad you were born.

I've used Detroit Axle two times. Once in my 2014 Subaru Outback, and once on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma. In both cases the rotors and pads were superior to OEM. My only complaint was that the enclosed chrome lug nuts rusted. No warranty on them.

Stocked another 1200 trout today. No railroad along these streams. We float from bridge to bridge...all work.

You may find this interesting Don. I used the 800 special with the Eaton 5 hydro to build my sideXside. It had the same odd frame but did work well for a two seat show rider/pickup..

No totally different animal. I suppose a guy could fab the F plate to match alignment but might be easier swapping to a F plate frame. Linkage is altogether different too.

Thanks! I general contracted just the house 29 years ago. Then we had the room/porch and 3 bay added on 10 or 12 years later. We came from a 3 level condo before the house and both the wife and I were sick of stairs. I still have a basement in this house and the washer/dryer are down there, but for the most part it’s one level living.

I'm lost Truck ... I would think it would greatly decrease the force required? Kinda like a $natch block for a winch. No matter Joe that's using the old noggin for other than a hat rack. What I'm afraid of Richard. Oh well it's a experiment.

The first home-made lift cable with a big glob of braze I made up didn't last very long, broke right near the braze. I cut "V" notches in a couple pieces of scrap steel to make a die. They were a PITA to align but got the job done.

When we were going through our 6 speed tranny, we were able to find the seals on Rock Auto for cheaper than the jungle site or Napa, and they come with a magnet from there.

Kev that is and old saying that still works today.

Been a while since I've used mine but I think that's how it's supposed to be.

Just enough to steady the hands.

There fixed that for ya. Yep thought of that and had one in my grubby mitts but I couldn't get enough crimp on it. I'm sure that's what Lowell uses and if a guy could make a die for his HF press. Does that come with the plastic coating on it? I like that ...smooth operation greasy Pete approved. What did you use for the crimp?

Not sure if either are plows. I do see a few differences from Jim's plow to mine. Jim's mold board is bolted to the frog, my mold board is welded to the frog. Jim's land slide is held on with square head plow bolts, mine uses round head plow bolts.

Make sure you drive it across your "yard " at high speed in transport mode.

It’ll be up to the cable strength where the heat of the braze might have affected its temper and how well the braze penetrated into the braid for adhesion. Frankly, I’m glad someone is giving this a try! Good luck 🤞 👍 😀

Thanks for sharing @Bar Nuthin. Glad to see he still has interest. There's definitely been a bit of a void in the field since he folded his hand.

Happy Birthday!!🎈

when I used the box scraper it was pretty long and lifted well off the ground not to sure it would work with a tiller.

@Achto yes the rotors came with matched ceramic pads , very good results , fed x delivery , box was , intact no damage at all , also followed the . pad break in procedure , , the overall effect is an enormous ammount of solid / smooth braking , pete

Happy Birthday Mike Hope you have a great day!

The Peerless 1400 is a light duty transaxle and is not interchangeable with the six/eight speed units found on most . Remove the hubs and see if a key may gave broken ore something simple like that. The attached service Manual and IPL should be helpful.

I'm guessing that you don't need very much dome contour in your tank end. You might be able to use some #8 or #10 solid copper wire formed to the desired oval outline of the tank end, then using a heat gun to heat your plastic sheet sitting on top of the formed wire until soft enough to sag into a shallow dome shape. Thin sheet .010" or .020" thick should work for this. Some encouragement may be necessary, though.

love the squarebody chevy too!

Yes it does come with the coating on it, No need to crimp, both ends are already factory crimped the same. All you have to do is cut in little less then half and cable clamp the other end at the lift lever. (Not completely sure on the length needed for some of those other tractors like your 1054 may only be able to do one)

Yes @Ed Kennell does do that, but just watch him. He might try to keep it 😂😂😂. Just kidding, Ed was a huge help in getting my barn find all original C-101 to the Big Show for me! Thanks again Ed 👍🏻

Picked up a taxidermy project today. This road killed mature mink was fresh and didn't have much damage. He has a really nice white blaze that is larger than normal.

I like what Paul just posted. We can help you build one better.

Here's one that will get the real test. Off the 1054 that broke when I was installing The @Pullstart's new drainage ditch. Brand new and again if Lowell was just down the road I know he'd give me a new one. For those who don't know about the weight of a long beam 953/1054 plow the cable sees humongous stress. This is why not having an extra on the plow field can put you out of action for the day.

I used to be hard in the snow on my B-100-8 speed transmission (1-1/8" axles and 8 pinions). However, I never did any damage. Then 22 years later I upgraded to a 416-H with an Eaton 1100. Less wear and tear on the transmission and more importantly, less wear and tear on me.

Spring hooks onto a little tab welded to the belt tension arm. Here is mine with the pulley removed.

Motors tires, tractors, you name it! ! One building full! Always an experience to visit with Rodney Burger in Lorida, Florida ( Yes Lorida - Florida without the F) in Highlands County during the Florida Flywheelers February Show! We will have about a dozen Wheel Horse tractors on Row 30, spots 48, 49 and 50 from today thry Saturday this week! Stop by and say hello!

Ariens blower first and a clean up after with the 520-8…no problems. Maybe 12” and it wasn’t wet/heavy like I was expecting.

Got the hubs pulled off today and everything is in great shape keyways axle keys all of it. Not even sure I will want to pull it apart when I get to this tractor as I don't think any of the bearings are bad either axle bearings still feel tight. The only reason for me to pull it apart is replace the limited slip spring and just to see the condition of the gears. But I have a question on seals has anyone had experience using the napa seals on these tractors NOS 11050 napa seal is called a manual steering pitman arm seal. Specs are Inside Diameter 1.125 Outside Diameter 1.379 in Width 0.125 Specs on cr/skf 11050 Shaft diameter 1.125 in Housing bore diameter 1.3752 in Seal width 0.125 in Is that .0038 of a difference in outside diameter enough to not work? NOS 7410 napa seal Inside Diameter 0.75 Outside Diameter 1.004 in Width 0.125 Cr/skf 7410 Shaft diameter 0.75 in Housing bore diameter 0.9988 in Seal width 0.125 in Same thing outer diameter is different Is that because one is actual seal outside diameter and the other is the bore diameter? NOS 6105 napa seal Inside Diameter 0.625 Outside Diameter 0.816 in Width 0.094 Cr/skf 6105 Shaft diameter 0.6252 in Housing bore diameter 0.8118 in Seal width 0.094

It's a well-known fact that these beasts seemingly multiply on their own.

What's in the barn stays in the barn...
