Another option is this brake cable from napa around $20 and you can get 2 cables out of it, by cutting it in half. It's handled everything I have thrown at it. Or since this is for around a 2004 Chevy crew cab long bed brake cable you can get it for free by cutting it out of @Pullstart's truck

I tried this contraption a few years ago, worked pretty good.

So I seem to have left y'all hangin' here. I found some time tonight to letter the hood & engine fan shroud. I wish that I had more to show but I've been dealing with O.P.S ( Other People's Sh..tuff). Got a Scrub Cadet that I'm painting this weekend and I also have a Simple-city paint job to get off my plate before I will get back to my own project. TTFN.

Decided to make a mount a pressure washer for my gt14 works pretty good. Way better than pulling a cart around the house.

Maybe I tend make'm a bit stronger! then LOL

They find me handsy. Is that close enough?

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

February 27, 1960, Two decades before the famed "Miracle on Ice," another underdog U.S. Olympic hockey team defeats the Soviet Union team in the semifinals at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, California. The next day, the U.S. beats Czechoslovakia to win its first-ever Olympic gold medal in hockey. Update: they did it again sixty-six years later.

Well maybe not quite free but dang cheap. No offense Lowell but they can get somewhat pricey when one has more than one tractor. No idea if this will work but won't be for lack of tryin. Hardware store cable with a blob of braze on the end.

He can do a better job sloshed than I can do stone cold sober ...

Kev that is and old saying that still works today.

I'm guessing that you don't need very much dome contour in your tank end. You might be able to use some #8 or #10 solid copper wire formed to the desired oval outline of the tank end, then using a heat gun to heat your plastic sheet sitting on top of the formed wire until soft enough to sag into a shallow dome shape. Thin sheet .010" or .020" thick should work for this. Some encouragement may be necessary, though.

Just enough to steady the hands.

If he finished that glass before getting it done. LOL

love the squarebody chevy too!

There fixed that for ya. Yep thought of that and had one in my grubby mitts but I couldn't get enough crimp on it. I'm sure that's what Lowell uses and if a guy could make a die for his HF press. Does that come with the plastic coating on it? I like that ...smooth operation greasy Pete approved. What did you use for the crimp?

Last time I got them from Napa and they had a issue with shipping or something so it took a extra 5 days to get it, I paid $9 a seal. These last seals I ordered on the jungle site SKF brand seals for $6 each free shipping it will just take about a week to get them.

I need to convert both of mine with fuel under the seat pan to electric but plan to stay with mechanical pumps on the ones with under-hood fuel for the time being. Got two Carbole 2-3.5 psi pumps, fuel filters and 25' of 5/16" Continental fuel line (made in the USA) delivered today. I'm going to give the K&N filters with replaceable cartridges a try, not that I've had problems with others. I'll have enough fuel line for my small herd and plan to re-torque hubs and do filter and fluid maintenance while I'm at it.

Not sure if either are plows. I do see a few differences from Jim's plow to mine. Jim's mold board is bolted to the frog, my mold board is welded to the frog. Jim's land slide is held on with square head plow bolts, mine uses round head plow bolts.

Do they come with the exclusive "Tail light Warranty"?? It excludes everything!!

They sell crimp on ends for cable.

Picked up a taxidermy project today. This road killed mature mink was fresh and didn't have much damage. He has a really nice white blaze that is larger than normal.

Our first stocking of trout was hampered by the high waters and ice jams, but we managed to stock 1100 fish in 5 mile of stream.

Pa early archery season starts early October and ends mid November. One antlered and many antlerless deer are legal with the proper permits. During the third week of this archery season muzzle loaders, flintlock or inline, can be used to harvest antlerless deer only. During the last 3 days of this muzzle loader season modern firearms can be used by young (under 16) and old (over 65) hunters to harvest antlerless deer only. A predetermined number of doe permits are allotted for a specific management area and are applied for on a time schedule.

One thing that might affect it ... temper temper ... but flowed in the braid like water. As they say nothing ventured nothing gained.

Here's one that will get the real test. Off the 1054 that broke when I was installing The @Pullstart's new drainage ditch. Brand new and again if Lowell was just down the road I know he'd give me a new one. For those who don't know about the weight of a long beam 953/1054 plow the cable sees humongous stress. This is why not having an extra on the plow field can put you out of action for the day.

thank you so muchhhh

Welcome! Please elaborate about the transmission issue..

Took a walk around the farm this AM. A lot of deer and fox tracks

I used to be hard in the snow on my B-100-8 speed transmission (1-1/8" axles and 8 pinions). However, I never did any damage. Then 22 years later I upgraded to a 416-H with an Eaton 1100. Less wear and tear on the transmission and more importantly, less wear and tear on me.

The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad ( The Ma and Pa) was a 70 mile link between Baltimore, Md. and York, Pa. basically following the North and Main branches of Muddy creek. When the line was closed in the '70s the historical society was formed to try to preserve the line, but large sections were returned to the landowners. We were able to keep about 10 mile that we now use to stock the trout.

Yesterday I got a call from one of my old snowplowing customers saying that there was a tree across the driveway and the new plow guy couldn’t get in. So I borrowed a payloader and pushed it out of the way and plowed the driveway. Then went past a friends farm and he was out with his snowblower, the thing is so bad ass that I had to pull in and tell him that!! Since I was already in the loader I drove over to my mother’s house and plowed her driveway. 50 years ago I plowed this entire driveway with Tonka payloader and Tonka T-9 bulldozer. Somewhere my mother has pictures. Recently I posted a picture of me on my Work Horse plowing in this exact spot when I was 14. My mother who is 87 years old and one of the funniest people you can meet, told me “Go stand in front of that thing so I can take a picture and send it to my friends!” After that I went to work clearing snow off of a job site with a D-5 dozer. So I thought I’d share some snow removal pictures and videos! IMG_1468.mov IMG_1469.mov IMG_1470.mov

Well the water and ice cleared up since last Fridays stocking but Sundays heave wet snow brought many trees down across the tracks. It took more time to clear the 3 mile of tracks than it did to stock another 700 trout.

Motors tires, tractors, you name it! ! One building full! Always an experience to visit with Rodney Burger in Lorida, Florida ( Yes Lorida - Florida without the F) in Highlands County during the Florida Flywheelers February Show! We will have about a dozen Wheel Horse tractors on Row 30, spots 48, 49 and 50 from today thry Saturday this week! Stop by and say hello!

The other thing that might suggest it's a one is the slot hitch? I don't know of any other brands that used one. Maybe Brinly made that just for WH??? On a 401 ... note the tires... run what ya brung ...

Got the hubs pulled off today and everything is in great shape keyways axle keys all of it. Not even sure I will want to pull it apart when I get to this tractor as I don't think any of the bearings are bad either axle bearings still feel tight. The only reason for me to pull it apart is replace the limited slip spring and just to see the condition of the gears. But I have a question on seals has anyone had experience using the napa seals on these tractors NOS 11050 napa seal is called a manual steering pitman arm seal. Specs are Inside Diameter 1.125 Outside Diameter 1.379 in Width 0.125 Specs on cr/skf 11050 Shaft diameter 1.125 in Housing bore diameter 1.3752 in Seal width 0.125 in Is that .0038 of a difference in outside diameter enough to not work? NOS 7410 napa seal Inside Diameter 0.75 Outside Diameter 1.004 in Width 0.125 Cr/skf 7410 Shaft diameter 0.75 in Housing bore diameter 0.9988 in Seal width 0.125 in Same thing outer diameter is different Is that because one is actual seal outside diameter and the other is the bore diameter? NOS 6105 napa seal Inside Diameter 0.625 Outside Diameter 0.816 in Width 0.094 Cr/skf 6105 Shaft diameter 0.6252 in Housing bore diameter 0.8118 in Seal width 0.094

Look forward to seeing what you got up your sleeve! Your work is always top notch, so it will be interesting.

It's a well-known fact that these beasts seemingly multiply on their own.

What's in the barn stays in the barn...

Daddy Don C125 project

My little boy Fernando is in the emergency pet hospital in Fort Wayne Indiana. It's a very long and detailed story. He swallowed something he shouldn't have. Lodged in he duodenum. He had surgery on Saturday and when they opened him up? Found a necrotic cancerous structure on a lobe of his liver. They removed 6" of intestine that was damaged by the foreign object. They removed a lobe of his liver. He had 50/50 chance of recovery. He did pull thru surgery and looked as though he might recover. But then took a turn for the worse. Very low blood pressure and high heart rate. Doctors are doing everything they can think of. They are uncertain.

The Peerless 3 speed in my 1971 800 Special decided to stop transmitting about a month ago. No forward or reverse movement only the clacking of the final drive. More adventures in tractoring.!!
