5 pointsThis is my first, and probably, only restoration. I couldn't have done it without the help of you good folks, and I thank you for all the help and advice. Thanks especially to Steve, Gene and Zane, and there are many others whose names escape my memory right now. This is my first attempt at posting pictures also, so I hope they are there. Thanks

4 pointsMJ has been needing something she can do at home that doesn't require any exertion something that will keep her mind busy, Possibly where she can make a couple coins along the way. I did a lot of research and during this research I found a great respect for our friend Terry Dennis "VINYL GUY" I now have a good understanding what this man does, and all the work and knowledge it takes to do the fine art that he produces our decals with. I made an Investment in some equipment and set her up a small vinyl shop in the Ole M Den down in the Basement. She will be cutting simplistic Decals and we will be doing a lot of glass carving and etching along with sublimation of T Shirts and Coffee Mugs. don't know where this will lead but she is a very creative individual. Anyway here is some pictures of her new shop. You guys that know me know if I do something I'm gonna try and do it right and set her up within my budget and best of my ability, After all she has put up with my hair brained Ideas for 32 years so its the least I can do! Anyways I wish her luck and hope she does well at it. P.S there will be a lot more pictures coming home from my office at work! Thanks ~Duke

3 pointsJust making room for more... takes up less space when storing 'em... once you break them down Geno.

3 pointsThis is a picture of a cart/trailer I saw at a show that someone made out of the frame of an old tractor. Neat idea and great job !

3 pointsWhere's the score keeper? He must have banker's hours. They almost came back to at least tie but was tossed out the window when Cal got the interception. Wisconsin played a good game but kind of fizzled out. I think more from fatigue than anything. It was a bummer for sure but they are and will be tough. To be a Dino and have the life of luxury!

3 pointsChances are... you'll find me and the Mrs Rules just kayaking the Hudson again.

2 pointsThe grass has slowed down here so I decided to tear another one down. This is not going to be a restore but just a cleanup and new paint on the sheet metal and a 14 horse Kohler. I always wanted a gray one and found this one this spring. It was filthy and very greasy. A little degreaser and a Power Wash and it cleaned up fine. And some new shoes for the back, Going on 520 wheels. Got to get to the blaster tomorrow and do the wheels and get some paint on. I hope to get some painting done before old man winter comes. Just have to hope time permits, Oh and I ordered the decals from Terry at the show and they arrived shortly after. Top quality as usual.

2 pointsVery late to this thread, but I'd like to make a point on punches. At work I often have to use a 3/32 punch on tapered pins that have been in a hole for close to 100 years. I've used Craftsman, Matco and Snap-on punches and they all bend. But the Snap-on man is there every Wednesday to replace the bent ones. I keep 3x3/32 and 2x1/8 punches in my toolbox and just hand them back when they are bent. Thats why you end up paying close to $20 a punch, and I take full advantage!

2 pointsAll this depends on the surface you have ...if it is the first time it goes smoothly without chains with good tires i really like sparkys tires looks to be a fighter in snow.. .. if you have hard snow / ice surface so there is no doubtthat chains work best ..Never tried rubber chains, but i dont belive in them when it comes to ice surfaces but on snow they will work ..... I know well what I talking about When it comes to this ..I live after all in Norway here is what ill use ..

2 pointsI have three Wheel Horse Dump Carts My first one I paid $80 for and coated it with POR-15 (two coats of clear in the bottom) and then painted with Valspar IH red. One of the wheels had a bad rust spot and I had a welder repair it correctly. The second one I bought in Evansville , Indiana and hauled home in the trunk of a Toyota Camry ( they fit fine upside down with the trunk lid tied down). I repainted it with Valspar IH Red and changed both tires -the wheels were fine. Before Painting: After Painting: My favorite cart -an old LT-24 dump cart from the mid-1950's - I am leaving this as original as possible!

2 pointsI use my Wheelhorses to rob me of my living's wages. (But they are worth it......most times).
-
2 pointsI have used the mig on full power to get some serious heat into the casting. The time taken grinding the weld off is easier than the pain of breaking the hub or puller... Here's my front axle from bendy, one hub took quite a while to wind off. Here's why

2 pointsI don't use my Wheel Horses to make a living, but lately I'm thinking I make a living just to buy more Wheel Horses

2 pointsSteve, hope you get some grillin in this weekend. I don't know how you retired guys find the time for fishin n grillin Starting to get some winter prep in. Moved the weights and blower out of the shed, Had lunch by the lake. Tomorrow I'm filling a pair of Silvertowns with RV antifreeze for Ezra's snowblowin job this winter as well as tearing him apart and installing a new lift cable for the slot hitch. I'm using a modified 520 lift cable for the job

1 pointLooking around this morning.....as we all do....came across a sickle bar mower,,,,,says 48" (can't find a 48" but there are 50's).....has this sticker on it..... I'm sure others have probably saw it too...is this serial# helpful in identifying the model# cause this number brings up nothing in the search..... another pic......

1 pointThe 14" diameter compared to the 15" diameter would only make the front sit 1/2" lower.

1 pointYou just gave me an idea! I can have room for more Horses! I'm trying to find one of those cool racks like yours.

1 pointShorts...your pickles were excellent...THANK YOU. I have an old recipe for some hamburger pickles with turmeric in them that I have had a taste for lately. I think I am going to make them again...maybe tomorrow.

1 pointthanks gene, couldnt find it. for me the one on the right side logo. If you just painting it red nd black. all the extra detail is useless. Thats IMHO, your buyin it, your flyin it. So if you decide you want a colnel sanders go tee on the horse,,,,you do it. Glenn

1 pointI've spilt the front transmission to put new seals and repaint. I was surprised it was a 4 pinion 8 speed with 1" axles, but quite a lot of you pointed out this is normal for a lot of 300 series transmissions. The hubs were a pain and here's why. Looks like I'm cutting a new keyway next weekend as one hub is pretty chewed up Whilst I wait for the seals to come and a 1/4" end mill I've cleaned up the hubs and made them the same as the rears Will hopefully get the rear end together today, then it's on with sorting out the front chassis...

1 pointI buy that JUNK!!! Last time someone said that, it was about a 48" 7 iron JD deck. The owner said it was junk, shot, no good. Took it home, cleaned it up, and what do you know. It was a 60" 7 iron that was in almost new condition. It just looked bad because of the placement of where it had been stored. A spondlew were fine and belts were like new. So, if you are thinking of selling that Junker, let me know.... Becasue that is a nice looking piece of JUNK! Rob

1 pointEb. I for one have read all of your posts. I have no expertise in what you are doing hence no comments. But I am learning bits and pieces. Hope your hand heals well.
-
1 pointIt worked...finally. That is not an optical illusion I bent the 1-1/2" thick wall tubing in the process of removing the hub. D hubs are the worse.

1 pointI'm just leaving to have some ribs along Cayuga Lake's western shore! Enjoy the Games!

1 pointno dont stop now i always enjoy reading your post's, i'll try to reply a bit more here so you don't have to talk to yourself Koen

1 pointQuestion 1 - The hood should have stops that keep it from opening all the way to the ground. They are probably worn off. Question 2 - I will answer as soon as I pull out a mule and make some measurements. As far as the nut, when I remove a deck, I just remove the whole mule drive, belt, cover and all.

1 pointI was actually thinking of having my machinist friend take some off the bottom of the steering gear .100 or so, so it meshes in the fan gear deeper. Does this sound like it would work?

1 pointStarted wiring the wall outlets tonight, figured might as well So's I dont have to wag around and trip over a bunch of extension cords. When I do any wireing on recepticles I like to use THHN 12 ga wire with the wire nuts and spade terminals on the ends. The wire is easier to bend and terminals Are nice. I also wrap my outlets with electrical tape I guess for a little extra protection in case something comes loos in the elctrical box I also hung a few banners Here are some Pics! WH Banner On Ceiling When You Walk Into Stable From Garage.. The flash makes it look more washed out from the light than it is This one is hung in my isleway between where the platform will be and my shelfing unit on the right! Close Up Of Banner, This is a picture of my RJ-58 See anything else special about this Banner? Also Notice the GFI Outlet, this is the first outlet on the Circuit protecting the rest! More banners for decoration.
