8 pointsCleaned up a downed apple tree at my mom’s house today. The tree had just started good apple 🍎 production! Uses the 314- 8 of my brothers anddhis 4 wheel wagon as our other Wheel Horse cart was being used by their neighbor . Five loads in the four wheel wagon and she was cleaned up!

7 pointsApril 11, 1970, Apollo 13, the third lunar landing mission, is successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert and Fred W. Haise. The spacecraft’s destination was the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon, where the astronauts were to explore the Imbrium Basin and conduct geological experiments. After an oxygen tank exploded on the evening of April 13, however, the new mission objective became to get the Apollo 13 crew home alive. At 9:00 p.m. EST on April 13, Apollo 13 was just over 200,000 miles from Earth. The crew had just completed a television broadcast and was inspecting Aquarius, the Landing Module (LM). The next day, Apollo 13 was to enter the moon’s orbit, and soon after, Lovell and Haise would become the fifth and sixth men to walk on the moon. At 9:08 p.m., these plans were shattered when an explosion rocked the spacecraft. Oxygen tank No. 2 had blown up, disabling the normal supply of oxygen, electricity, light, and water. Lovell reported to mission control: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” This is such a coinsurance that Artemis 2 completed its nearly flawless mission the day before the 56th anniversary of launch of one of NADSA's most spectacular seat-of-the-pants engineering feats.

4 pointsUse a front hitch and push it. I never got the 4 wheel backup skill. My young neighbor can back up a 4 wheel hay wagon that is hooked behind his baler. That is skill.

3 pointsBut she is still putting in work, previous owners were bigger hippies than I. They tried to let the entire yard grow into a prairie but didn’t really understand what they were doing. They ordered to also throw scrap wood in piles so now I have overgrown mess hiding land mines all over. I’m currently doing a full pass with the deck up to take top off and then slowly going back with the deck set at max height. As long as I go slow it’s doing okay but once this belt stretches a bit I’m sure it’ll be an issue.
-
3 pointsHmmm…I have a set of those out in the shed. Been sitting there for years attached to a seat I’ve never used. I’ll have to go out and find em and see how they operate. I love extra leg room.

3 pointsUpdate: I have a chance to bring it home. However, I'll need to rehome it quickly as I don't have room for it and my free time is limited these days. I'll post pictures once it's home.

2 pointsI'm building a mid mount grader blade for my B80 and I've found a lot of information but I'm lacking a couple of dimensions and an angle. Any chance one of you might have access to one of these and be willing to provide the needed information? Thanks! Brad

2 pointsOn to the transmission controls. It feels much better now with all new wear components. Full forward and reverse control, and it holds position properly. Also replaced the drive belt, pulley, and spring. Modified the belt guard for better Onan cooling.
-
2 pointsSeat can go back farther and if you want to drill or elongate some holes even farther back yet. 3 HHHOOOWWWAAARRRDDD!!! letters sounded about right! ( If you'd come to the show and hear me yell that at him you'd agree!)

2 pointsPaul: Nice collection of workers you have. One for every job summer fall and winter. Enjoy them all.

2 pointsHey guys, just got home from working out in Indiana… He said he was a member but doesn’t go on here much anymore. It’s so much fun to travel back east and finally get to see another one of these tractors. Isn’t that crazy? I’ve never actually laid eyes on another Wheelhorse other than my own.🤣 The one in the photograph that is parked on the gravel has a diesel engine in it… I think a 10 horse. ..really got me motivated to get cracking on the recently rebuilt Kohler K341 installation. I’ve got another hard week of work and then will finally have some time to get the engine in and get the wiring done. Jason

2 pointsI live where dogs have to be on a leash. If they're not, then the owner is entirely at fault.

2 pointsPut a little bling bling on that came from Vinyl Guy. Changed engine and hydro oil and filters and added oil filter cooling tin gasket.
-
2 pointsSome pics Angle iron and sq tube 3/4 rod welded to a square plate that you can bolt the caster to. I had pneumatic tires but the kept going flat or ruptured the side walls. Using old deck wheels now. They sink in more when it is soft but at least they hold up. I live on a hill and have near constant breeze my annual sweep the rocks back on to the road should take an hour or so but usual spread over a couple days waiting for the wind to die or be in the right direction even so the thatch it picks up blows all over mostly back on me. It is 48"wide The electric lift is glacially slow
-
1 pointMy dad could do that as well. I could do one or the other but not both. Hardest part was backing the wagon. Out of the barn after unloading it with only a few inches on each side.
-
1 pointHere is the wagon I built. No, it does not tilt but it is very stable. Also, you can easily unhitch it when loaded so long as it does not roll away. Backing a wagon is much more difficult than a trailer. I grew up on a farm so backing up hay wagons got to be second nature. However, these small wagons are more difficult as they jackknife quickly.
-
1 pointI wonder how difficult they are to reverse, I know hay wagons on the farm were a special skill. Also, tilting a two wheel cart is easy and a four wheel not so much.

1 pointGot any weights? I like weight too! especially in winter. @Pullstart can help if you have an issue lifting them!
-
1 pointIs yours a sunstrand or an eaton Information like that can help get better responses you indicated it was a frankenstien which means we cannot be sure that the hydro is original or not and makes a difference in the engagement mechanism. .

1 pointYes, I found a thread that had most dimensions but I wasn't comfortable trying to figure out the angle. I used several different images I found and the camera angle seems to distort the angle enough that each image comes up with different angle. Thanks, any help would be appreciate.
-
1 pointOk, I thought it looked a bit different. At least I know the belt routing is right.

1 pointToday was "Get the tractors ready to mow day" Went to the WaWa to get some Rotella 30W and a couple tubes of Red n Tacky Engine Oil change, added EZ oil drain valve ,grease and blade sharpening on the 875 Engine Oil change, Trans oil (Mobil 1 10W40 Napa 1410 filter) grease. New battery and blade sharpening on the C-160
-
1 pointGood day for changing oils and putting the snow blower and plow tractors away for the year. And getting the Commando 8 ready for mowing duties.
-
1 pointThe cross bar that the footrests sits on is the issue. Otherwise the lower steering shaft could come out easily.
-
1 pointThanks KP I didn't remember if you had to pull the motor or not but prolly the reason I didn't fix it right. If I had to pull the motor for other work different story.
-
1 pointDone it recently. It's alot. Engine removal at a minimum. Just to align the fan gear? I don't think it's worth it. Just my opinion of course. Mine is crooked and other than knowing it, I can't tell it's there. There is plenty of adjustment in the tie rods to null it out.
-
1 pointI had one come in like that. Never could figure out why this issue was never caught, and fixed, at the dealer. What I did was center the quadrant and readjusted the tie rods to the proper toe. It wasn't my preferred fix but at the time. Steering wheel ended up way out of alignment but just learned to live with it. Replacement steering shafts are sometimes hard to find. Guys want the entire 520 front end to have on other tractors.
-
1 pointRTV really isn't a good choice to use there and I guess you agree at this point. A quick replacement with some gasket paper or something would be more than adequate. I've seen (and maybe have used ) 3x5 cards or a tablet back in a pinch when it's not in a critical spot but I always have gasket paper and hole punches in the shop.
-
1 point@WHX?? @JCM Good idea framing the receipt. I laminated the receipt for my Work Horse that I bought brand new so I can hang it when I show the tractor.

1 pointI picked up this neglected LSE 5 years ago, I mean you should be seen the the amount of dust that was on the hood when I got it 😂

1 pointThanks for all the excellent advice. The worst part of this is that the original carb was probably fine. The condenser went bad and it started running lousy when I idled up so I thought initially it was the carb. I attempted a rebuild of the carb and it didn't work out too well. Is there someone here who rebuilds carburetors, or are there good rebuild kits that aren't coming from China that are good quality? Thanks again..

1 pointImportant to understand that for aftermarket carbs, "compatibility” does not mean faithful replica. It means it’ll probably work, @ebinmaine’s observation about throttle bores and needle valve capacity being too small (or too large) comes from one carb body often being sold as usable on too wide a range of engines. Also, for the aftermarket carbs I’ve touched, all of them had metric-threaded needle valves and none of them adhered to the OEM manual’s guidance on “initial number of turns” for valve settings. (In fairness, all three worked well enough out-of-the-box to run the engine and I was able to tweak to good performance.) It is pointless to try to use a set number of turns. I heartily recommend that the first thing to do with an aftermarket carb’s valves is count precisely how many turns it takes to gently close each as-delivered valve--it is very likely that it was the correct initial setting from the factory and now you can easily put it back in that position whenever you choose! If the engine is running and warm, then set wide open throttle (WOT). Now turn the high speed valve slowly first in one direction until the engine falters. Turn slowly back in the other direction until the engine again falters. Now turn to the midpoint of those two positions or very slightly richer (counter-clockwise). Idle the engine (to the manual-recommended idle speed!) and do the same for the idle mixture.

1 pointI I thought about that, but I'm not sure where to attach it. I also thought about copying Matt's neutral return setup.
