    Get out your torn up jeans,Brylcream tight white T shirts, and roll a pack of cigs into the sleeve................ No Wait! not that kind of Greaser Day. It's time to lube the fleet before the cold weather sets in. Dewalt gun works nice but it's also a pain to operate. ant to top it off, the Lock n Lube end failed. Came with a kit but the thing wouldn't come apart to repair it. So I has to get an old school gun end out. Got a leaky bucket cylinder on Elvis so got that ordered. Heard an engine running all afternoon. My retired engineer neighbor just got a new Westinghouse Genny from Amazon. The recoil was messed up so they sent him a new one. I had to wander over. His solar panels aren't charging his battery bank so he's charging it with the Genny. I mentioned $4.50 a gal gas and he could just plug the bank in to charge it He shrugged his shoulders and said "I know but I like it this way"

    I have red, orange, yellow, green and yellow, orange and blue, and a rusty Speedex. His calls them all pink. But he only sits on the Wheel Horses, and the Elec-Trak. He has two older sisters, so the dominate color at home is pink. 🤨🤨🤨

    This if you plan on staying around and enjoy these ol tractors it is well worth the price of admission to become a supporter. You would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of 's then what's on here and all the W/H knowledge you want find anywhere else.

    If I happened onto a #22 that was badly worn, I’d be temped to experiment with other ways to revive it--perhaps drill out and insert bushing(s) at the upper and lower pivots? This is not uncommon in older automotive carbs.

    This picture shows piston wash. The clean area is from oil getting past the rings and washing the carbon off the top of the piston.

    My brother worries me. Every time he drives by a dairy farm, he pulls over and leaves a few dollars on the fence. Doesn't he know cow tipping is illegal?

    Appreciation was not what I had for it in he moment. I was already rather annoyed because the rodent damage actually caused an electrical fire, and so in addition to everything else, and that harness not being easy to do, everything, including myself, was covered in flame retardant.

    Thanks. This is what I would have guessed. I’m thinking that the next time I do an oil change I’ll tape the key to a checklist that I can review before trying to start the engine!

    Typically the order of flow through a pressurized oil system is pump, filter, crank bearings, cam bearings, lifters/valve train, and then back to the pan. If the engine was started, with oil in it, it would be EVERYWHERE.

    Next up for me is to drag out the Ariens SnoThro, change the oil & the friction disc. Pull the bucket apart to inspect / relube / replace the high speed sealed ball bearing. Look at why the NLA gearbox is leaking... No fun doing all that when it is 20 degrees outside...

    Turning the mule drive belt tightening in a clockwise direction will loosen the belt. The only time I have had steering that far out of line it was caused by a driver backing over the front wheel with a 4000 pound SUV but we are still married. Replacement spindles are rather easy to come by since most are interchangeable over a wide range of years and models. from the '70s to '90s.

    We started a charity job for a cancer family today . Tear out a tub and replace it with a shower . As you can see it was in tough shape but the treatments and all that goes with it took priority. First it was me and my brother taking down tikes and wet drywall,but as the job progressed we started learning just how much the multi tool could do without destroying too much at once. Two of the sons started trying out the tool and when it came time to break up the cast iron tub, they made it their own . They gave each other the business like brothers do and it was a good day. I just learned to advise them when to be careful and why The last picture is an installation I did on my rental house and the shower is a Sterling brand shower which is a Kohler company. Once the base is set the walls are pretty easy. My brother and I are bone tired and both are proud of the grandsons.

    I was just referring to the upper throttle shaft play. A flanged bushing could be filed to conform to the elongated lower pivot point, or as you have suggested drill top and bottom to ensure proper alignment and insert bushings top and bottom

    Unfortunately most of the small block carbs I've seen don't have that provision.

    A quick check for the upper throttle shaft play is to put a drop of oil on the depression around the shaft (right where @ebinmaine is pointing) while the engine is running. If the surging goes away and then returns when the oil is gone then air in-leakage around the shaft is your problem. The little brass washers from the hardware store could do the trick.

    Where the top of the piston and combustion chamber has no carbon because of leaky rings. Dan skooled me this. @Achto got a pic??? I'm sure the Squonky @squonk has seen it.

    I think anything below about freezing temperature you should have it on there. And it shouldn't matter if it's ACR or not. The oil isn't going to mind one way or the other. It's about keeping things lubed up more appropriately. A slightly warmer oil will Lube the engine better and sooner.

    Yes I bought one last year my self, for that K241 non ACR engine Eric. I think 30 and 20,s should be fine. After that I will use the block heater.

    I use a magnetic heater on my 1975 C160 Automatic. Definitely makes a huge difference. Also a lot less expensive than propane.

    Not a bad idea - especially for those of us who are getting older and wiser. Just tonght, I got the MF GC1720 loaded on the trailer. I shut off the fuel for transport and noticed that the charge light was on for the emergency trailer brake battery. Not knowing how much it will take to charge it from the truck battery, I unplugged the trailer from the truck. Got to remember to plug the trailer in before I leave in the morning. Should leave a note on the tractor key to turn the fuel back on, too.

    When I was in the seventh or eighth grade (had the same teacher for both) we studied the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights and Constitutional Amendments (there were four less back then). Some of these lessons lasted all day but we LEARNED about them rather then gloss over them. Our teacher was a naturalize citizen from France who immigrated as a teen ager with his family shortly after World War Two. He had a deeper appreciation for these documents and the freedoms we enjoy than nearly anyone I have ever met. About twenty years later I had a young Mexican worker on the farm I was managing who more or less became my right hand man. He had gone through our public school system and wanted to become a US Citizen. I spent an hour or so with him after work most days and I attempted to pass along the enthusiasm that our teacher had for these formative documents. I have never felt such pride as the day I stood with him and his parents at his Naturalization Ceremony.

    Greased all zerks. Boy was there some nasty black ooze coming out... Continued to work on surging issue... bit more carb cleaner, tweaking the adjustments, running it with good gas, some Seafoam, stabil... getting better. May dip it again...

    Original engine that's been bored with new piston, rod & crankshaft. Good (solid) functioning 42" deck no holes and snow blade. Starter/Generator still works fine. Needs front tires and a muffler. Front tires are original "Wheel Horse" tire and totally dry rotted. has both rear hitches. I do have the deck belt cover and headlight assy. Will fire up and drive onto a trailer. I've owned for about 45 years. Time to go. Priced to sell.

    1964 W/Horse model 1054A; I decided to let some of my tractors go. I believe I have everything for the 1054A, including extras. The one thing missing was the original 10hp Kohler with the starter/generator. It did have a later model 10hp Kohler. I pulled it and replaced it with an old 16hp Kohler I had (high hours, runs well) and I added a voltage regulator. Fuel tank is good. Hydraulic pump worked when I parked it. I think the wiring is original. Tractor has been in my storage barn many years. Fired right up to take pics. Included: “2 mower decks, one good deck & one rusty parts deck (no holes)”; “42inch snow blade”; “2 sets of rear tires & wheels”: “new replacement headlight lenses”; “new PTO clutch disc lining”; Both Kohler engines go with it and all the extra parts. Everything has been in dry storage since I got it. I'm pricing low to sell & clean out garage. Local pick-up only.
