8 points10-29-1998 John Glenn returns to space Nearly four decades after he became the first American to orbit the Earth, Senator John Hershel Glenn, Jr., is launched into space again as a payload specialist aboard the space shuttle Discovery. At 77 years of age, Glenn was the oldest human ever to travel in space. During the nine-day mission, he served as part of a NASA study on health problems associated with aging. Glenn, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps, was among the seven men chosen by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1959 to become America’s first astronauts. A decorated pilot, he had flown nearly 150 combat missions during World War II and the Korean War. In 1957, he made the first nonstop supersonic flight across the United States, flying from Los Angeles to New York in three hours and 23 minutes. On February 20, 1962, NASA and Colonel John Glenn accomplished this feat with the flight of Friendship 7, a spacecraft that made three orbits of the Earth in five hours. Glenn was hailed as a national hero, and on February 23 President John F. Kennedy visited him at Cape Canaveral. Glenn later addressed Congress and was given a ticker-tape parade in New York City. Out of a reluctance to risk the life of an astronaut as popular as Glenn, NASA essentially grounded the “Clean Marine” in the years after his historic flight. Frustrated with this uncharacteristic lack of activity, Glenn turned to politics and in 1964 announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate from his home state of Ohio and formally left NASA. Later that year, however, he withdrew his Senate bid after seriously injuring his inner ear in a fall from a horse. In 1970, following a stint as a Royal Crown Cola executive, he ran for the Senate again but lost the Democratic nomination to Howard Metzenbaum. Four years later, he defeated Metzenbaum, won the general election, and went on to win reelection three times. In 1984, he unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for president. In 1998, Glenn attracted considerable media attention when he returned to space aboard the space shuttle Discovery. In 1999, he retired from his U.S. Senate seat after four consecutive terms in office, a record for the state of Ohio.

7 pointsI bit the bullet and bought 10.5 x 12 rim blanks and centers from miller tire. I also bought 26x12x12 firestone floatation 23s from miller tire. Here are the pics of making them.

5 pointsI like your way of thinking Craig...when I was about 13 we had a truck hauling a load of shoes turn over and catch fire a few miles from our house...upon putting out the fire they loaded all the shoes in dump trucks and dumped them in our pasture by our trash pit. About a year later Dad and I decided to finish burning them. Over the past year the pile had been infested with rats, which commenced to jumping out after we lit the fire. Dad and I sat on the tailgate of his truck with our shotguns and shot them out of the air as they jumped out of the fire...most fun I can remember having as a kid growing up lol

4 pointsGetting a lot closer. A bunch more parts show up Monday, and then just waiting on the decals to ship. Plus I have to do the exhaust yet. I am glad that my 15yo son is helping and having a blast.

4 pointsI run non resistor plugs as they have proven to work better in my old farm tractors with mags or 6 volt battery ignitions. Also use solid copper core plug wires to make for better spark. If it interferes with some electronic device of some yuppie driving by in his BMW then its too bad.......

3 pointsHad a chance this afternoon to install the gas tank I made up for the BIG TEN. Was missing the original air filter assembly when I got the tractor, so I also had to "Macgyver" something up for that till I find the correct cover. Got everything back together and started her up and took her for a test run. Everything checked out great.

3 pointsJohn Robert says Thank you 19Richie66 for this fine set of AG tires and wheels that we did some Horse trading for last weekend. I use this tractor for mowing in some of the more unfinished / borderline rough areas here, and the old tires were slipping on the hillside off camber turns and sometimes when backing uphill or out of a low spot. Anyway, thank you Richie for these AG's. They are just what was needed.

3 pointsGot a call this morning to work on a Kubota tractor that a packrat had gotten into...pulled the dash apart and found this mess, as well as the little fella still in there with it...never knew a guy could dismount a tractor that quick lol

3 pointsIts been a while since Chuck (SOI) has posted anything. As I have said in the past, electrical is one of my many short comings. I have always enjoyed Chuck's posts and tutorials and I have learned a few things. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Chuck, the squirrel guy. -Chris

3 pointsNow we know the reason behind it they had plenty of toothpicks when they got done here that's for sure

3 pointsI may be mistaken but I believe it's a damper. It was one of the ways they slowed the engagement of the clutch. It came into play at the end of the idler arm travel. Check out part #53 on page 2 of this parts list for a 1990 312-8.

3 pointsLucas is great stuff, but considering as said above that many transmissions have been running fine for years with a combination of oil and water, the cheap Walmart stuff is my choice.
-
3 pointsLook at the bottom of the transmission case. The center case bolt creates a hump across the transmission that traps a fair amount of lube in front of it. Make sure you lift the front of the tractor far enough to get that to drain out.
-
3 pointsWell--we made it to Bluniers last night at about 4:45pm! We immediately unloaded the tractors... and then got to work! Conditions weren't perfect (a little sticky from the .5" rain on Wednesday) but still really good. The temps were perfect at about 60 degrees. So we plowed for two hours, then stopped for an awesome chili dinner (thank you Blunier family) then we went back out for another hour or so! Caleb (my son) was the last guy in the field until I lured him off the seat with the temptation of food!

3 pointsWeighing in at 5#12oz this little sweetheart became our 5th grandchild at 6:00pm yesterday. It was a rather event filled pregnancy and no doubt accounted for a few more gray hairs for grandma and grandpa. As a precaution they decided to induce labor a bit early but Mom and baby Ilyssa Ann are doing great. Here's her three bodyguard brothers. They just might come in handy years down the road.

3 pointsI don't even know it is back there with that duramax with tuner.... i only use low gear when dragging you and the full trailer.
-
3 pointsyep...what my neighbor said.!!!!! 1/4 inch here and mine is 3 inch tall-----42 wide.....Kung Foo grip is extra..!! lololool brought to you by your local Wheel Horse Gentlemen,,,,tomorrow sunny and seventy....0% chance of snow....!!
-
3 pointsAs of today, the 655 is finished! I am very happy with how it tuned out, it runs great and the snow is just around the corner to really try it out. The mower deck still needs some work, but that will get done some time this winter. Decals tuned out great and really put the finishing touches on the tractor. I am glad I repainted the hood and belt cover, the finish improved a lot.
-
3 pointsAfter seeing these transmissions run for years with water and sluge in them and work just fine. I think any clean oil will work just fine. The uni drive trans was one of the best small trans made. In my opinion.

3 pointsAnd that is just one of the reasons we do not allow any links to Craigslist ads here on Red Square. Mike.....

2 pointssounds to me like its a bad battery. I had one that did the same thing and it had a bad cell ,check the voltage then put battery charger on it and let it set for a day, then check the voltage again if it has gone down by a half volt it more then likely is bad cell. And do what 953 nut said clean all connections first. Before I would start putting money in alternators or regulators I would change the battery it would only be about $30.00 or $35.00.
-
2 pointsI would part it out, sell the transmission and get the stuff you need off the engine. Lots of good parts for your 520HC.
-
2 pointsJumped at the chance today to get a start on freshening this up... after burning out my angle grinder with wire wheel (old cheapie that lived a good life) I spent the entire afternoon with a little gravity pot sandblaster. Went from here To here today. Hoping to be able to finish prep and maybe priming yet tomorrow .

2 pointsThanks Bob, I just ordered 2 complete tie rods from Wheelhorseman 1000, look much better quality than the other ones I found.

2 pointsGreat day today plowing at Bluniers! I really enjoyed getting to officially meet Dave and his lovely wife and family! @dtallon had a sweet collection of horses but an even sweeter family! Glad to meet you sir! I believe all the horses pictured here are his except GhostRider... he can chime in and correct me. I met so many people today I'm trying to keep them all straight. It was a great day turning soil! more lengthly post to follow...
-
2 pointsI cheated....They are on permanent snow duty. Just fired them up an moved them down from the storage shed. One more deck to finish cleaning up and the summer horses will all be back in the shed for the winter.

2 pointsThe dang things are named "pack rats" for a reason too! (along for the taste for wire insulation) My son and I were working on his truck and had pulled the radiator, on reassembly a few days later we could NOT find the radiator cap. After couple hours of frustration looking we gave up and needing to get him back on the road, went and bought another cap.... Bout 3+ years later was cleaning out a scrap lumber shelf and down underneath was a MESS among which was the lost radiator cap!! Along with a favorite screwdriver I was missing and couple dozen shiny screws/nuts washers, etc and of course the requisite gazillion acorns and dog food!

2 pointsWell, people see things differently .... Looking at that picture some see a pile of parts being sold for profit and the loss of another Wheel Horse no longer to be enjoyed in this hobby. I see a bright red tractor tilling up the ground after hours in the garage turning coal into a diamond. If the hood is the only scarry part I'll give you a perfect hood. I don't mind buying a Wheel Horse that looks like that. It may take a lot of time to make it look nice, But I have a lot of time and not a lot of money. Like Brad Paisley says: When you see a deer you see BambiAnd I see antlers up on the wall When you see a lake you think picnicAnd I see a large mouth up under that log When you see a priceless French paintingI see drunk, naked girls It was a non-running tractor. Someone tried to fix it. Air cleaner was off, coil was missing. I put a $17 Chevy Cavalier coil in it. There was a hydro leak. (pipe fitting) Above deck. When I got done with it I had $310 total invested. And many hours. It was just too big for me so I sold it for $800.

2 pointsI purchased my 516H 3 weeks ago off craigslist. I traveled an hour and a half to find a dirty, but well running tractor with no attachments. The seller informed me of a snowblower at a hardware store half an hour south on the coast that had been sitting in a field for over a year. I bought the tractor for $450 and went to the hardware store to see about the snowblower. The seller of the tractor told me he had talked to them and they would sell it for $200. At the hardware store they screwed around with me a bit on the price. They told me $300 was their last offer. As I was getting into my vehicle to leave with the 416 on the back they came running out and told me I could have it for $200. I dragged it quite a ways through the field, with over a foot of snow, but it was worth it. I ended up with a hardly used tall chute snowblower. A little over an hour later I was home and started to clean it up to see what I had. I mounted the snowblower in preparation of a storm that was approaching. I had a great Toro snowblower that I bought brand new 2 years ago that I had recently given to my mother for her house so I needed to get this thing going in order to get out of my driveway (which is 200' long). Well I soon found out that the hydro was weak, missing the reservoir, and needed fluid. I was able to take care of the storm, barely. Dennis from this board sent me a message and I ended up buying a rolling 520H chassis from him a week later (much thanks). That night I completed the Eaton 1100 swap. What a difference, night and day. Here is a photo of the tractor as of this evening, tires are from the rolling chassis, sheet metal slowly being painted. Hood is next, then blower. My wife thinks I am nuts. My daughter on the other hand is right there with my insanity. My 252H will be sent to my mothers house for lawn mowing duty. Happy as heck to have a real tractor for once.

2 pointsIndexing the spark plug will also help to increase power and torque. This is when the open gap faces the center of the piston. It helps in a more thorough combustion of the fuel so the engine will produce more power at high RPM. Indexing washers is used to index a spark plug. They're a copper washer of certain thicknesses that's placed on the threads of the plug. Indexing of the spark plug helps to increase the power on a high-performance engine that operates at high RPM. It doesn't help much on a stock engine or at low RPM. Taken from Brian Millers website

2 pointsPosted 03 August 2012 - 08:46 PM Been working on a "new" plow for my GT-14. Information says it will handle a 54" front plow. I had a couple of fair looking 42" plows, so I took the best parts from both plows and made a nice 54" plow by adding 6" of plow to each side of the best 42". Now I am working on the plow cutting/wear edge. I wanted the 3/8" square holes for the 3/8" carrage bolts, but wasn't sure where I could get this done. At my work place they have a "mega-buck" iron worker that will do all kinds of stuff, but they don't have a 3/8" square die...Next best thing is a square broach. I have attached some pictures of the broach, plow wear edge, and the press I used to cut the 3/8" round hles to 3/8" square holes! This broach is round on the starting end, and is tapered to the opposite end, and is square. I used a press to "push" it through the steel.
