December fourth is International Cheetah Day, nature's sprinters, these swift creatures embody grace and speed, painted in a golden coat, thriving in the wild savannah landscapes. They are mother nature’s precision, high-performance machine, designed to do one job and to do it with incredible skill and effectiveness. They can accelerate faster than a Ferrari, tearing up the ground from 0-75 mph in just 3 seconds, and they come with a self-grown paint-job that would make the fanciest of muscle cars blush with envy. That’s right, we’re talking about the Cheetah!

Fasole means beans in Latten and I pass them all the time, sometimes even play a little tune first.

You check with Lincoln at A to Z in pennsylvania? I believe that to be a pretty good idea. Get a fairly thin Fender washer with the correct diameter hole. Use something close to the thickness of your existing sheet metal to make the weld easier. Place, cut, trim, form the fender washer and paste it in place.

Similar logic in finding a soulmate. Look for the one that won't wear the numbers off your credit card!!

Lots of third party sellers these days and most are legit. It is hard to tell what is what and should be using a barrier payment like PayPal. Plus one of the most common mistakes is getting sucked into those 10/15% off deals if you sign up for their ad's. Info is bought and sold like cheap shoes. Spam producers gravy.

I don't really know how this happened. I was browsing ebay looking for mower spindles and ran across a listing for a B100. Unfortunately I made the mistake of looking at the pictures. It was only 70 miles from me so the next thing I know I'm clicking the Buy-It now button The listing said it was last running two years ago when it was brought in due to a transmission problem. All of the pictures were apparently from two years ago because it was obvious when I picked it up that it had been sitting just like the pictures showed only with lots of weeds all over it. Overall though it was still pretty decent looking. At the moment I have no clue what issue is with the drive system. I did pull the dipstick and the oil looks clean and fresh. The first task is to get it off the trailer and into my shop and then I'll see about getting the engine to run. I can't troubleshoot the drive system until it's running. I think I have another steep learning curve when it comes to the drive system. If nothing else, it should be interesting

Greetings Red Square community, I am new to all things "Red". I was born and raised about 30 feet above sea level in eastern N.C. on a small farm. Our main tractor was an Oliver Super 55 and it was "abuse-proof". We never had need of anything like a WH. With Farmall Cubs and 8n's a plenty all of our tractor needs were met. For the last 15 years I have been living in Mechanicsville, VA where I pastor a small church. I'm married with two children, one of whom just graduated high school two weeks ago. My wife is my favorite person with whom to hang out and we have recently begun to garden again. I am a hobbiest blacksmith and I have been known to wet a hook frequently. In the past couple of years that we've been growing veggies, in our reasonably sized back yard (about 125 feet square), we've agreed that a garden tractor would easier on our aging bodies than a tiller. I have for years hoped to acquire a Wheel Horse some day. My real desire was for a 3-point model but figured the clevis hydro would suffice. We recently decided it was time to get serious about finding a garden tractor. So I just purchased a C-175. It is in pretty good shape for a 30+ year old machine with unknown hours. But there are a few issues I will need help figuring out. Of course this is how I came to join your group. I am grateful for being accepted in and hope that, in some small way, I may be able to contribute as I benefit from the knowledge and experience found in this community.

Had a great Time with my RJ pushing 4” of wet snow. Pushed with ease even without weights or chains, but ground isn’t frozen solid yet. Tried to represent those old ads of those Pipe Smokers.

Actually that was a Ford GT-40 but ya' gotta' love a little Cobra.

Not so much me as the wife, but she found this idea on the facie-page maybe:

I guess the missing elf is taking the photo?

We offer the best possible support...for your tractor addiction.

Nice looking tractor and seems to be worthy of fixing. Might have a hood latch setup, I'll check tomorrow.

The brake pad for the PTO is not absolutely necessary, but the belt guard is. Mounting hardware for the right foot rest is a question mark shaped bracket, 5/16 carriage bolt, lock washer & nut. Same as C series - easy to find.

I see you're familiar with driving a tractor in my back yard after Denali has... er... recycled his dinner... 4-5 times a day...

Tires came in today can't wait to put them on probably have to modify the fender some

What most of us do it throw it away and just use the clutch spring on the left side. I usually keep a spare ( 108035 clutch spring ) in my parts drawer. It attaches to the the clutch bracket and the hole in the brace web on the axle housing.

I used a piece of 1/16" thick angle iron cut to the shape of the broken piece. Cut out the damaged part and welded the new part in place. Oops, Bill types faster.

Or .... remove the entire top piece with the 2 holes, replace it with thin gage angle mounted from under the inside, Weld, bond, or screw it together.

The rear wheels and tires will fit any traditional Wheel Horse that used 12 inch wheels. Just be aware that the rear tire size is what would be considered slightly smaller on the size scale. 308-8 and similar tractors used those tires. Looks like they will also need inner tubes due to the weather cracking. That will likely be another $40 or more. The front tires will work with any 8 inch front rims on a Wheel Horse, but those wheels will not. They do not have the right hubs for bearings. Personally, I would continue to look for new tires. These are already well torwards being worn out. If they were dirt cheap, they could work for a short while but not worth much at all.

With the transmission in neutral, parking brake set, key in the off position, and the points cleaned disconnect the condenser. Now turn the ignition to the start position and check for spark. If the coil and points are good you should have spark. If you now have spark the condenser was the culprit.

Might be better off raising it ...?

Somebody didn't get their coffee

The overall condition of the tractor is very good. It doesn't have a rear hitch or a front mule drive, I'm guessing it was only used for plowing snow. It's missing a few odds and ends from when it was taken apart at the repair shop and then left to sit for a few years. I need the hood latch mechanism, the brake pad for the PTO pulley, hood ornament, and mounting hardware for the right floor board and belt guard. My current plan is to set up the B80 with the mower deck and the B100 with the dozer blade. I'm building a grader blade for the 656. So unless something changes I plan on keeping all three. The B80 and B100 will be left as is as far as finish goes. I plan on totally dismantling the 656 and making it look pretty again.

“Oops, he did it again”? If you’ve got the time and interest, that’ll be a very nice tractor. There are several members here with very deep knowledge of those Sunstrand hydros and know how to source repair parts. Some of those Sundstrands could also support an external hydraulic lift cylinder. Having the model number handy is important.

On my first meeting @wallfish, he lent me an RJ to tool around the Big Show. He emphatically cautioned me about its touchy clutch and willingness to wheelie. Having driven standard shift vehicles since before having a driver’s license, I paid heed and never had the front wheels more than a couple inches off the ground. Predictability and muscle memory are essential for clutching. We more mechanically-inclined and capable members do have to keep in mind that things mechanical and electrical can intimidate some of those who join the forum looking for an assist. They often need very specific and detailed answers along with reassurance.

That is like a fingerprint so the trespasser can be identified.

Richard. You know that old phrase, don't sweat the small stuff. That's what all those little squiggly lines are for. They get caught up on all the small stuff so we don't have to.

Lincoln is too busy to run a website. Doesn't matter to me where it's posted online. Who hosts. I'll never do anything but use the telephone to get a hold of him.

That may be a better solution than welding to the already rusted and damaged metal.

Sounds like a good idea.

I’ll have to give him a call. There’s only an eBay store for them now, the main site is shut down and I didn’t see anything on the bay, but I’m sure he has a whole lot more that’s just not listed there yet.

Lots of sellers use Amazon, eBay, and others in addition to their own site. I have ordered things from a seller's website and had the fulfillment through Amazon. The biggest advantage as I see it is the return policy with eBay and Amazon.

The Cobra is also faster than a Ferrari. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8ad9c2fb21a61ec07e7527f01a853d479196e98358c3845b3701e80d7b7c2adfJmltdHM9MTc2NDgwNjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=37570d65-6d5b-6b28-1530-1bd66cf66a74&u=a1L3ZpZGVvcy9yaXZlcnZpZXcvcmVsYXRlZHZpZGVvP3E9Zm9yZCt2cytmZXJyYXJpJiZtaWQ9ODM2MjhCNTkzOUE4QkUxMDJFQjg4MzYyOEI1OTM5QThCRTEwMkVCOCZGT1JNPVZBTUdaQw

Our tankless LP water heater has two 4" PVC pipes going to and from it, one for combustion air, one for exhaust. You can place your hand on the exhaust PVC pipe and feel a slight bit of warmth. Our water from a deep well enters the unit at an average of 42* and leaves at 120* and will continue leaving the heat exchanger at 120* as long as there is water flowing. When the fow stops the burner shuts off and stays off until the next time you call for hot water, just that simple. We heat water, cook, heat the home and occasionally use the Gas log fireplace on about 300 to 400 gallons of LP per year depending on the winter. In the summer when we are just using the water heater and cooking with the gas usage the use is not noticeable. Our tank is a 500 gallon unit and I fill it at the end of the summer, unless we have a very harsh winter it will not be refilled until the following summer.

I always tell people if you're looking and can't find someone, stop looking. Do the things you enjoy. Either they will show up or they won't and either way you will still be happy. I lucked out.

I don't want to be around when you try and make them Deestones as big as the Carlisles by putting more air in them.

I totally agree, which is why I have pretty much all of them 🤣🤣🤣

You should have battery voltage at the points when they are open. You should have 0 volts at the points when they are closed. If you do not get the 0 volts the points are not making contact when closed. Clean the contacts.

What do mean by having power "to the points" The points are on the ground side of the ignition circuit. Also, new points out of the box need to have the contact surfaces cleaned as they are coated from the factory so they don't oxidize in the package. Make sure those surfaces are clean.

Yes, I think that would help with the math, but to be honest, while enhanced heating efficiency would be something to aim for, I'm actually more concerned about working in the shop in comfort, without a cold draft from the window blowing on me. I guess I'm getting spoiled in my retirement years.

The BBT got her Millie going and moved snow

Do not need/want anything WH wise...wish Santa would take some of my WH stuff and give it to someone who could use and appreciate it.
