17 pointsDad helped me out big time by running and grabbing this beauty for me. I have been unable to get away as preparation for the meet and greet is in full swing. I really don't want anymore, but when it is on your bucket list, you go for it. Looks to be in pretty good shape, minus the hole in the deck. I am really only going after the low production number models or ultra collectibles at this point. This will fit nicely in to the collection!

6 pointsI met Bowtieguy/Frank today in Springfield and he brought me this C-175 auto its in pretty good shape no knocks or smoke i know the series 1 kt17 can be a time bomb but this one seems good it ran kinda ruff at first but it ended up being pretty much out of gas after that it ran good the steering is stiff but the trans is very strong and the deck works well and i added a metal seat pan i think i might see if my brother wants it so i can get my 314H back.

6 pointsSo another horse followed me home tonight. This time a 1966 wheel horse 1076. This is my first wheel a matic tractor and I must say, it is pretty nice. It also came with a deck, push blade, and wagon. Wagon is pretty rusty, but he did throw in some extra parts. I even had the trailer I hauled it on thrown in on the deal and just had to pay title transfer. It was a good day lol!

6 pointsour mother asked us if we could come up with a faster method for peeling apples so we came up with this one spade drillbit a tub and a peeler. and a drillpress on low speed

3 pointsThere are 2 reasons for the regulator terminal to see battery voltage. First is the regulator is powered by DC voltage so it needs to be turned on to control the current it passes to the battery. Second is if the DC terminal does not see battery voltage it means it is not connected to the battery so it can charge it. Best way to cover all models and wiring systems is to turn the key on but the engine not running. See if you have battery voltage at the DC terminal. Garry

3 pointsRacinbob said: Steve, my vote goes for taking them out, win or lose. Bob, don't take this seriously. I seem to have lost my partner in crime. I set out with Steve to stir the pot and get some excitement going in here and he was going to help with that but he must be otherwise occupied. I think Chris hid all his Rock and Rye awhile back and he must have found it. It could be weeks before we hear from him again. Lighten up fellas, nobody's going anywhere.

3 pointsMakes sense. The 180A 220v model is $150 more, plus another hundred for the 220 line, and it is basically the same welder, just puts out 40A more. If I need something welded over 1/4" thick, I'll pay someone. The big benefit you will derive is a better duty cycle, the lower price welders are going to require a 45 minute nap after 15 minutes of work. Come to think of it I guess I have a twenty five percent duty cycle too!

3 pointsIt was just a pile of straps until you put them in hue-sequence (ROYGBIV) color-coded order... THAT'S when it became a problem--i mean-- collection...

3 pointsI have actually used JB weld as filler 3 different times now and its worked great! It goes on just like bondo and actually sands off pretty easily with an orbital sander. I did a thread a few months ago of a deck repair I did for a co worker and referenced how I used JB weld as filler. Hes been using it this whole season and as far as I know its holding up just fine. As far as fixing them or leaving them I say fix them! If you are putting in the time to make it look nice once again the dents may bug you, and if you do indeed miss the dents once youre done you could always just whack it with a hammer and put them back . I fixed up and painted a 312 of mine a few years ago and fixed a big dent in the front of the hood but didn't realize there were 4 minor ones on the top of the hood. They didn't get filled and they bug me to this day. I have tried to work them out but with no success im worried I will mess up the paint or make more dents and essentially make it look worse.

2 points" i know the series 1 kt17 can be a time bomb". Only if you use it on steep inclines or let it run out of oil. Otherwise they are as rock solid as any of the others. CAUTION: Do not operate engine continuously at an angle exceeding 20° in any direction, or for more than 5 minute intervals at angles up to 30° in any direction-as engine damage may result from lack of sufficient lubrication. The C-175 is a beast. That one is a beauty and would get a stall in my barn.

2 pointsHydro pedal peg welded onto frame, front welds beefed up, prepped, primed. Also have 1st coat of finish paint on it. So barring bumps in road, should have a rolling chassis this weekend as planned.

2 pointsA wire wheel is not enough, you have to acid prep rust to kill it. Then prime it. A guy at work suggested using old fashioned lead for filler...

2 pointsThe wife says I cant have them all , but if I can get them home before she see them its all good right ?

2 pointsThanks Thor27. Nice of you to notice Seriously, I was gonna wait until I had the Cam straightened out but I have a lot of time it getting this thing cleaned up, primed, painted and axles polished. I spent close to an hour with steel brush, brass brush and emory wheel to polish the axle shafts. They were less than appealing and one side required the 10 ton puller to break the hub free, I plan on having this tractor until I no longer am around and want to be able to get the hubs off without the same struggle in future. So Polished them and when hubs go on, so will anti-seize. As I am not trying to win a show with mine, I am doing my GT14 with black frame and Hydro with Red Body. As opposed to all red. To me, it almost looks like some tractors are dipped in red vat:)

2 pointsYou have to watch out for low flying planes at Bud's! I shot a video of the ride on Ol Shep. It appears fine on my desktop, but for some reason it played sideways. That's how Youtube recorded it also. I don't see any way to fix it. So here it is. Don't hurt your necks!

1 pointI have been working on this deal for a couple months now, I haven't said anything because I didn't want to jinx it. These were only about 20 miles from me, he has a D-200 with loader he said he may sell to me also, don't know if I'll get that one though. The flail mower (although not Wheel Horse) is a BEAST!!! I'll probably sell that as I really don't have a use for it. Any idea what to ask for the flail mower? I do have a couple questions though. 1). I haven't had a loader tractor for a while, when mounting the pump, do I have to take the entire rear PTO shaft out or can I just take the pulley off? 2). What does this sickle bar fit? 2a). Is the sickle complete or am I missing something?

1 pointGlad to hear the Seafoam made a difference, running it in the fuel system will continue the process.

1 pointNo, it was a C141-8 that you picked up in East Longmeadow. You only had it a week or two when you found out that the needle bearing was toast. Yes, I had to split the transaxle and ultimately I needed another transaxle to fix it, but I got that one for free (it was bad on the opposite side so I put the two good halves together). It was a great learning experience and now I have a nifty home made heavy duty hub puller to get those pesky hubs off!

1 pointVery nice. I love mine. They are a great machine. Wonder why they offered only the one year? The 8 speed is a nice option.

1 pointSometime a guys has to do what he has to do! I am presently down to 9 from 24. When they start flowing out the stable doors and into the yard its time to have some intervention. Whats left in the stable is my restored 56, 58, (701 in primer and parts) 702, and 68 Lawn Ranger. 2) 520's and the 417A. One of the 520's will be a loader the other one if for parts. Not Shown is The Senior in my shop and the 520 Snow Chucker.

1 pointOK Gang, Linda called me today and looks like the 17th was not good for her after all. She is asking for us to plan for the last weekend in October which is Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th. She already has the food for grilling and she is very excited to be hosting this event. Can I ask again if you all are able to make it that weekend, and can we get some kind of head count now as to will be attending? Linda would like to have some idea of the number of people attending so she can have an idea of how much food that needs to be prepared. I do not know her personally but she has been very kind and generous and gracious in our phone conversations, and wants to have a memorable event. Please everyone chime in to let me know and I will pass all information on to her.

1 pointFellow RedSquare members...... It is with great pleasure that I post these newest photos! A huge to Terry Dennis ("vinylguy52") for his exceptional talent in creating the decals for my black tractor. Terry is a great asset to our hobby/addiction and rest assured..... you won't find nicer decals anywhere - period! (or a nicer fellow either!) Anyhow....... The name is based on the combination of dragster / tractor and I think it fits the tractor well. TD also whipped up some really Kohler decals that complete the look I was after. TD -- I can't thank you enough! :notworthy:

1 pointStart time is 8 a.m., though some troopers will show up a bit earlier. End time is when the last vehicle pulls out! FYI for everyone!!!!!! The corn around my property has not been taken down. So room for the swap meet area will be a little tight. I am going to ask some of you to set up your swap meet directly across the street in the bean field in front of where everyone will be plowing this year. Please help me in being a good neighbor to the folks around us. The elevator and golf cart shop will be working Saturday. We need to keep the roadways clear for them to bring in their semis. Thanks for your help with this!
