Stopped by a local Antique Engine and Tractor Show today and saw this creation!

I love my HC mows nice and I can zip around quickly, @sqrlgtr would have to pry my cold dead hands off it when I croak

I also put the key that I got from @JCM on it.

Got the carb cleaned up and gone through and was able to start it. After that, I had to mess around with the drive pulley to get it to go on all of the way. The surging in the video is because I forgot I had my gas turned off at the tank. I was able to drive it around a little bit tonight. I put about a quart of an unopened thing of ATF that I found in the back of my grandma's garage that I think is older than me but I figured it's good enough for temporary to help flush the tranny. Tomorrow I need to swap the wide front axle onto our 1257 and take the narrow axle I put on the 1257 onto my 845. I also need to mess with the governor some.

hello there - got a 312-8 the other day and the previous owner made som modifications that im trying to undo. also im missing som parts and other things i dont think is for my machine or attachments. here are my questions: 1. how to i find out what year my 312-8 is from ? its missing the decals with serial number, the m12s engine serial starts with 17 and it may be from 1987 ? 2. i got a big bracket that i dont know what is for, its not for my cutting deck, snowthrower or the rototiller. 3. i got a smaller bracket that i also dont know is for, im missing the bracket that sits under the pto for my tiller, is there any one that has some messurements for it ? im thinking of making my own as getting used parts is kinda hard here in denmark where i live 4. the front pully assembly (mule drive?) is missing the nut and id like to know what size thread it has so i can buy a new one. 5: and lastly i think the linkage to the rear slot hitch is some homemade crap, it hits the rubber boot for the shift linkage, is that not supposed to be a wire ? can anyone tell me what the part number is for the complete cable im missing. there will more as i pogress on servicing the 312-8 as the previous owner has not been to kind to this tractor and i will get it to shape best regards kris from denmark

July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival, performing a rock-and-roll set publicly for the very first time while a chorus of shouts and boos rained down on him from a dismayed audience. Six weeks before the 1965 festival, Bob Dylan had recorded the single that marked his move out of acoustic folk and into the idiom of electrified rock and roll. “Like A Rolling Stone” had only been released five days before his appearance at Newport, however, so most in the audience had no idea what lay in store for them. Neither did festival organizers, who were as surprised to see Dylan’s crew setting up heavy sound equipment during sound check as that evening’s audience would be to hear what came out of it.

It uses a Wheelhorse transmission. Same method of shifting as any other you're already familiar with. At one point I had a 1933 Fairbanks Morse 3 HP flywheel engine. I read up on how to adapt it to a Wheelhorse. Never did it because it wasn't practical to us. Very interesting project.

Is your engine spec number 471546? Good chance your tractor is a 1988 model E1-12K801. It took a while for the engines to land on a tractor and 1988 models would have been available in October 1987. Two pages of search results in no particular order for the E1-12K801 https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?&q=e1-12k801&type=downloads_file&page=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy

Cleat: many years ago when I had a mind. I had a c141 it was in need of wiring. Now I am no electrician. But I took my time and I figured it out one wire at a time some need to be replaced, but I got through it..

Bar: Looks like it fits well. I wonder about shifting gears? Or is it just one gear? But still it looks like somebody put some time into this figuring out how it’s going to work with a hit and miss installed. I guess if you have the time and the parts you can make anything.

i think the nut for the mule drive is a 3/4" UNF - correct me if im wrong

It's alive

Well that's just nuts!

I was afraid I hadn’t back filled enough soil on the lilies. I had the big trailer full of dirt that needed to be emptied. I am happy to see fresh growth on the greens! Trailer is empty, maybe another good drink for the plants, and they should be good to go according to my mentors.

Down to Massachusetts helping my mom for a day. Trina pressure washed the entire back deck. Scraped the old paint off. Repeat. Repeat. Then... Removed the chicken wire that stapled all over the inside to keep the former dog in. I added a few screws to the ballusters. We replaced a post off the back steps. Then Trina painted ALL of the vertical parts and rails and ballusters. Inside. Outside. Steps. New. Old. Completed, not like it used to be - half covered. Tomorrow morning she's intending to paint the deck surface.

That is why Dollar General is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the United States, driven by aggressive store expansion, high consumable sales, and a surge in budget-conscious shoppers. The discount chain operates over 20,000 stores across 48 states. People will buy lower quality products thinking they are getting a good buy when in reality the price per pound (square foot or any other unit) is higher than others charge.

I use an adjustable wrench (crescent-type spanner) rather than a claw and tap it off with a hammer. You can also pry against the wrench rather than the knob if you choose to use a claw hammer.

Could be said by nearly all of us. In short sir, you are not alone!

Another @cleat fixxemup! Lookin forward to seeing how this goes!

Today's progress so far has been welding up a cracked seat pan, putting the tranny on, putting the front axle on, putting wheels on it, cutting the top of the tower off because it was too tall, putting the fenders together and putting them on, measuring where to cut the too long steering shaf, and setting the little bits and pieces on it for mock up.

We had a really good time this year with lots of joking around and bust'n balls the whole way! It was worth everything when he chose that tractor and took off full throttle in 3rd and kept going until we couldn't see him anymore. Jay yells to his father "I guess you'll see him at home" LOL We did work on it for quite a while on Friday to get all the small things in order SO MANY different people helped out and made this possible but it all started a while ago with @ebinmaine Eric donating 2 tractors when the discussion of building a tractor and giving it away to a youngster started right here on RS. When people got wind of a donated tractor happening lots of people helped out and many of the vendors stepped up too and donated some of the things we needed. Thinking we could try and do this every year so the WHCC can have a 17 year old and under raffle every year. Who's got a roller? AND, they let me wire the next one too! A 603 my father bought. We took off the briggs engine and transplanted a S/G Kohler 8 hp on to it.

Gas cans, smoking, jumper wires. We drive excitement!

Got my steering put together and drilled the holes in the f plate reinforcement plate

I got my cracked f plate welded up today. How come you gave a frame with a cracked f plate Kevin, I want a refund. At least it gave me some welding practice.

Howard if you have not read this thread, we built an 857 into a 1045 look alike back in Covid times. Build thread here
