Set a camera up on the cat food what to see was eating it and got this ... Well the nice thing about trail cameras is this horse pic ... Moved the trail cam to the asparagus patch to see if deer were eating that ... It was what they call a bluebird day.

I use small bolts ,lock washers, and nuts....cause I have tons ofem.

Perfect for mounting predator motors to C series tractors... exact height needed for the belt guard...

May 7, 1998, the German automobile company Daimler-Benz—maker of the world-famous luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz—announces a $36 billion merger with the United States-based Chrysler Corporation. The purchase of Chrysler, America’s third-largest car company, by the Stuttgart-based Daimler-Benz marked the biggest acquisition by a foreign buyer of any U.S. company in history.

Sad day... Had to put our lab Denali down today... the cancer caught up with him this afternoon. Labored to breath, seizures, etc. He was a great dog. RIP buddy...

I cut the angle holding the two pieces. Spread it open far enough to get the 3/4" shaft in.

Yep a Fairbanks ... I had one that just gave me fits too. Yours even has the original handle. Yep been feeding her the barn cat food the cats won't eat. Goes to show how much corn is in it.

Picked up a new (to me) WH hauler today! They sure are proud that it is made in MI!

Well, that answers that.

@peter lena pete trying to get side shields off started this hole thing ,buggerd up shield, bearng was good, not any more. @razorback I'm going to bearing distributors, called and they have them. So when I get some information I'll let you know. @ri702bill I'll see if I can get some 5-40 button head screws .

I agree... I mill off the heads of the rivets and drive the body of the rivets out. Replace the sealed bearing with a new one. Buff the halves on a wire wheel before assembly. I use #5-40 Button head screws - 1/4" or 5/15" long with a dab of blue Loctite on the threads and then the hexnut. This way, they are easily rebuildable later on instead of riveting. a light coat of Rusty metal Primer and a spritz of red - better than new...

I don't have a K341 to comment on, but on my Bronco's K321 (same crank), the increase in vibration was not nearly as bad as I feared it would be. It's definitely there, but knowing my engine is now safe from window making is easily worth it. I won't install another Kohler with the balance gears still in there. I like these old engines too much to take the chance.

Garbage in = garbage out was the computer norm. Add AI to the picture where it selects the more prominent information regardless of its validity and it becomes Garbage in = Gospel out. Special interests have always been able to make multiple internet entries promoting their point of view and thereby suppressing any alternate information, truthful or not. If you took the time and scrolled through enough PR garbage you could find what they were hiding. AI seems to doing the same but totally discounting alternative information. OK, now I will get back down off my soap box and get back to Wheel Horse talk.

Pretty darn nice.

Needs a good bit of attention elsewhere, to be expected being a '73 with no records and not much known about its history. Someone has been pumping grease into it but the fuel pump leaks, most of the wiring is original, I can't tell yet if the head has ever been pulled and doubt that the valves are in adjustment by the way it runs...stuff to do I'd like to pull the balance gears but I've got other priorities and no tasks in mind for this one. We'll see how things shake out, it might be worth a couple hours to go ahead and do that while I'm this far in.

I'm 14 so you're not the only kid on here

I was considering not hauling my rather large toyhauler and get 8-10 mpg but what the hell we only live once. If it means having to sell a few parts to make up the extra few bucks in fuel so be it. I am probably going to haul it down a few days early and stay at a campground in Gettysburg area and do the battlefield tours.

Some work on new steel box for WH trailer (dump trailer). Undercarriage needed some work,but that is the base for new "dump box" , aside original platform for hauling wood (2 in 1). Materials: old 2 wheel wheelbarrow, old bed frame, scrap metal and some new metal pieces. Fit for wooden pallet 120x80 cm. My original modified patform for hauling wood, hay, grass,branches etc

I was given a 12 ton HFT press back in 2019. The first thing that I thought was I can't wait until I have the next stuck steering wheel. So, seven years later here we are. Grandson Mason picked up a 69 Raider 12 at the show last year. Two weeks ago he brought me his steering wheel with the dash still attached. First thing we did was get the roll pin out, then cut the locking collar off from under the dash. Next I discovered that you can't get the whole assembly into the press because the gap in the apron (as they call it) is fixed and too narrow. So I removed it and replaced it with a 4x4 on either side. See picture.. Okay. One would think that this would be easy-peasy. Nope. I have been soaking this with PB Blaster now for a week. The shaft has not budged at all. The other problem is that as I add pressure, the 4x4's are compressing (denting) where they sit on the pins that are supposed to hold the steel apron. This problem is probably turning 12 tons of pressure into about 4 tons. Because I can't use heat due to the plastic steering wheel, my next step will be to cut the support that hold the two sides of the apron together, spread it apart to get the steering shaft in, then clamp it back together, to get a non-moving apron. More to follow...

And you have to love that "Kabang!!" when it finally yields!

The pulley from Brian is really impressive. It's not stamped tin like the original

@76c12091520h has these pulleys and they are BETTER THAN FACTORY!!!!! ( clutch disc is better too!!!)

It’s funny you ask… 😎

@gt14rider regular reference to this bearing issue , personally always go for the WIDE RUBBER SIDE SHIELDS , thats what you want ? unknown grease in there , small flat pocket screwdriver or small flat putty knife , easy removed with no damage at all , pop off both sides , Walmart , lucas x-tra heavy duty green chassis grease , wipe out all original grease , carb cleaner aerosol , flushing , hand pack bearing , reinstall seals , lube is 550 deg flash point , also polyurea rated , so it stays with the issue , done this in every related , pto driven bearing , guess what ? NO WHYINING BEARING NOISE , or related failures , @Razorback , personally love repetitive failures , track it down and kill it , make a change . mule drive bearings also re lubed , no belt squealing , just easy smooth wind up , that pto lever start up area is a GOLD MINE , for operational delight , heim joint end swivel , pete

One could also use square bar tubing. My seats are mounted this way. I need extra distance backward.

https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-4586G/Parking-and-Traffic-Signs/U-Channel-Post-for-Parking-Signs-10-ft-Green?pr , regularly make up improvements based on failure , this type of multi ton make up , often galvanised , bonis , is a great fill in or remake on original , picked up my first at town dump maintenance shop , just snoopin around , they also gave it to me , absolutely bomb proof . there are also related brackets at local , H/D LOWES , ETC . paint it red , black , it disappears . this only a suggestion / opportunity , for a project . pete

I almost put the link too but then I realized that this is in the introductions.

Glad you found us, please take a few minutes to do an introduction and tell us a bit about your Wheel Horse. Here is a link for intro. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/47-introductions/

Comparing 1967 to 2026 USA average gasoline price and USA average income, both increased just over 13 times. It's all relative folks.

Just wondering if a piece of fuel line could be split and put around the opening?

Steve well said . Have to try to keep the torch going , and if guys back out because of fuel unfortunately there will eventually be no show . I will be heading down Wednesday morning despite the diesel fuel costs .

Got your PM. I'll answer later today and see what I can do to help out.

Looks like she is eating for three.

Usually to send a message to someone you have to have at least one approved post so since you made this post you should be allowed to message him now. Also, to Edit: @nylyon has faster fingers than me

HOLY CRAP Mr. U Haul!!!!! I didn't think ya had the stones! He'd show up at plow days with a rented U haul ... claimed it was sensible... No place to store a trailer. Glad to see you got your big girl panties on guy!

My daughter asked me once why I talk to myself so much. I told her my grandpaw always said only take advice from the smarter folks... so I talk to the smartest fella around me at the time.

gotta luv the Blackhoods

More pictures of the wheelhorse

Thanks for the manuals. Pretty sure I got the recoil fixed🤞

The welded-on lower gear does make it more interresting....

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Harry Gant in the grandstands at New Smyrna, FL, Speedway one summer evening. His daughter lives there and he was visiting her shortly after his retirement from Cup racing. As the various divisions would run their races he would comment on how easy some of the faster cars were to pass because they were concentrating on going fast rather than winning. He is now in the NASCAR Hall of Fame which is a well deserved honor.

Harry Gant had several nicknames, Hammering Harry (he ran a construction company), Hard Luck Harry in the early part of his career due to ten second place finishes, Handsome Harry, and The Bandit in recognition of his sponsorship by Skoal. His best nickname was earned when he won two Busch Series races and all four Winston Cup races in September 1991 and earned the nickname "Mr. September" at the age of 51. His crew chief was Andy Petree and together they went on a winning streak of six straight national series triumphs. Other drivers with Hall of Fame credentials have amassed wins in fours since the dawn of NASCAR’s modern era in 1971, but other factors beyond his age make Gant’s performance a singular achievement. He won all four premier-series races with the same car — a Leo Jackson-owned No. 33 Oldsmobile Cutlass — and same engine at all four tracks. “We’ll probably run it until we wreck it,” Gant said back then. The car was involved in two crashes during the four-race romp, but never lost its winning edge.

There has been a stream of these so-called informative videos on youtube, on various machinery, equipment, and company histories. Most have a few inaccuracies in them, which shouldn't be ignored. Just yesterday I saw one about Cub Cadet, which claimed that IH wanted a garden tractor with hydrostatic transmissions, so they built one in 1961. CC didn't put a hydrostatic in their gts for another few years after their 1961 launch of the Cub Cadet. I also saw one on Fordson, that was filled with wrong information. It seems like we have a host of would-be experts who probably AI their information on google and threw that into a video, regardless of it's factual or not.

At this point I’m looking for any excuse to get seat time lol. Doesn’t matter how small a task I’m busting out one if not both tractors.

Fixed! I go to see the guys now more than anything. Really miss "The Tailgate of Knowledge" with @stevasaurus

I've read Kohler made a head for propane. Tractor puller's like that head as it raises compression slightly.
