July 29, 2015 Zion Harvey becomes the first pediatric patient to receive a double hand transplant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Well, my wonderful Granddaughters decided to pitch in!!!

Definitely like Dan said, we need more info. I'm leaning into something electrical aggravated during the belt replacement. That's one issue. The other is your belt problem. I looked back at the PTO posts you had. Your deck spindles, mule drive, and PTO itself need to be checked out. I don't like the looks of the PTO. You don't need to remove the bearing from the clutch housing to service it. Here's a bit on what I did to one. Dino Part 5 - Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum The mule drive and spindle bearings need to be free and smooth. I'm getting excellent service with sealed spindle bearings. I believe I'm on the 5th season with one of my decks with the sealed bearings and I mow a lot. In any case I feel like there must be a bearing/drag issue someplace. You shouldn't be going through belts like that. I may have the stuff you need if replacement is needed. Spindles from a 1979 42" RD, pto housing and mule drive. You're only about an hour and a half west. On another note guys, I know Dino Part 9 is way over do. It's coming. I've just been too tied up with a deck rebuild, generator installation, and a gazillion other summer projects.

Need to give a bit more info if you could. Are you missing spark, gas, or compression?

After an uneventful and slow day at work, I got to work on the C-141 again. I checked out the other rear hub and gave it the same treatment as yesterday minus the swapping out of parts. It turns out I swapped the hub when I built the tractor last year. A bit of a clean and that went back together like the other side. I also after being inspired by @sqrlgtr‘s post decided to drill out and spruce up the headlight bucket on my tractor. It came off great but in the course of cleaning out and polishing up, I broke out the vent on the right side. A little JB weld and a few hours and I’ll be back in business. The black on the lens should hide it so it won’t be noticeable unless you take the lens off. i plan on spraying the bucket with some bright semi reflective silver paint I have, to brighten it up. I plan on replacing the rivets with flat head bolts so if I need to do maintenance etc.., I can pull it all out with two bolts. Back at it tomorrow after work to finish it up.

You probably have Mahle pistons in you r magnum they are different than the older K series

The rain absolutely hammered the food plot, yay! We also saw a pretty nice typically 6 point entering the field from the road at about 8:30 last night running to town a minute. I’ve seen lots more bucks in the area this year than any year past! I shot my bow from 20 yards for the first time all season too. It’s not easy with my shoulder injury, but I’m getting better every day.

Grandpa, where is my razor scooter???????? I wanted to go for a ride on it!

I always thought the reproduction headlight lenses looked pretty good even though they're overpriced. But... Seeing this broken original makes me sad.

@ebinmaine I got the rivets out pretty easy the headlight bucket came right out. In the process of shining it up a small piece broke out but I JB welded it and I’m just waiting for it to cure.

I found my old grinder today. Yes, I used it in this shape as a teenager. That power cord has been like that as long as I can remember.

your close to "old man" thinking, I seem to cut the old cords off of any appliance I am throwing away. Just this spring I took a box of "I might need it" cords to the scrap. that old belt driving era must really have been something, the old man had a table saw he ran with a an old motor. of course attached to a 2x10.

Two speed?

Much like the plastic dash and tunnel covers on the GT-14, the headlight covers shrunk, or the tractor outgrew them!

I was thinking the same thing! My Materials Science prof was a kook, but I loved him and his classes. He used to carry around a three ring binder of newspaper clippings of engineering disasters and material failures that he could refer to at a moment’s notice to prove a point or make a morbid joke. I wish I could remember his quote about why aluminum is such a great material for airplanes, but it had something to do with having a critical crack length long enough for a hungover inspector to see after a weekend in Vegas. Or something to that effect. The giggles ripped through the classroom at the speed of sound…(Rimshot) I also had him for colloids and surface chemistry. Somehow, also laugh riots… Steve

Yeah, without some handlebars or something that thing has the potential to launch the management right off.

Winner! Ill have your guy talk to Kevin's guy...

Ok I'll take it Sylvia ... Pullstart can bring it over at plow day.

If needed here's one https://www.lilredbarn.net/product-p/237878-s.htm

I have no idea, but if I want to be able to use it again, I’ll need a new belt. And maybe a cord.

Yes, I plugged it in today. And yes, it groaned and slowly took off, just like I remember about 25 years ago!

Mount it on the workbench with a foot switch. Near the Band-Aid dispenser & eye wash..... The belt guard looks to be a mite short!

i have a new holland 914a deck, with a brand new bevel gear box installed and all its brackets plus spares. it spins free and is really nice. it also has its pto shaft too which is nice, i also got this plow/disk? clearly for a big boy tractor but not sure what it is. it has a new cylinder on it as well for the hydraulics. it was being used not too long ago so i know it should be good still. the disks spin free and arent in bad shape. any one got an idea on what my little lot here is worth? and what they might go to? im looking to sell as well if anyone is interested.

Possibly an Oliver plow.. I’m leaning more towards a farmall harrow though.

I'm thinking there's one here like that too. I ain't got the sand to plug it in though!!

The ones we've removed were riveted in. Drilling rivets can be a challenge if they start to spin. Otherwise fairly straightforward.

Good eye Dan. I missed that. Just sold my Ber Vac for $400.

Your spec number is missing a digit. This one? 1996 314-H spec number https://www.partstree.com/models/m14-601559-kohler-magnum-engine-made-for-wheel-horse-14hp-10-5kw/

No duct tape?

@Achto you da man!!!

Just to pass on some updated information for isavetractors, their inventory has been acquired by Lil Red Barn in Harrisonburg VA lilredbarn.net they were both buying from same manufacture and Lil Red Barn was already selling most of the same parts under there LRB Brand for the K and M Series Kohler and Onan Parts that were sourced at same manufacture that isavetractors used. They just got 2 trucks with 16 pallets full of parts shipped from from isavetractors warehouse on 7/25/26 and they are working it into their inventory at their warehouse. I have been buying from Lil Red Barn for many years. He said if you are looking for parts to give him a call and he will make it available for purchase, it is just a lot of parts to go through 540-434-9852 or email at lilredbarn.net@gmail.com

I'll try testing it with the engine running, I'm almost ready to fire it up. Went through whole tractor, top to bottom.

@WHX?? Lowell sells the aluminum dash plates for the 701, I have one that I havent installed yet and they look and feel great. I belive @ML3 is correct,that is for the headlight switch...

Some folks (not me) strip the 1 pc tank & polish it... That may look slick with a polished dash plate...? Repro WWII Jeep choke & throttle cable are available from a place in Tennessee - sold on Ebay. Choice of green or black knobs - the black with the white letters look just like the OE WH parts.

Got in touch with Brian at k&b, no go. I'll try to get a hold of Lincoln at a-z. Thanks @ebinmaine

never thought of that, but that would be so cool

As we are proud grand parents and its little Franks first birthday, what better than his first Wheel Horse. Built by his clever uncle Ewan…

Did some work on the 520 today which included replacing the bent/busted dash and bezel along with a new light switch from A-Z, and a new vacuum gauge, I don’t know if you can get a new one that says toro anymore but Stewart Warner still makes the style that came on the older 520s which works for me. Still need to get new bulbs for the rest of the gauges though. While I had everything out of the way I also fixed the wiring and replaced the fuse box which took care of most of the electrical issues but still need to address the 9 pin. It was also charging all over the place so I threw a new regulator on and that seems to be working good now so hopefully it’ll be a solid worker when it’s all back together

It's alive

I'm guessing they never go bad - which may explain why he's not been able to sell it. I suppose I could get it engraved and repurpose it for my headstone.

Was running perfectly after I broke another belt, which I am still trying to figure out. Not it will not start. Turns over new battery and spark plug, but will not start. I let it set a couple of weeks, but will not run.Ahh.

Airlines have done this. I was on a Convair 580 turbo prop twin for a short flight, probably in the 1990's. Had a wing seat, and was idly looking out the windows when I saw 2 'rivets' on the wing that were not lined up with any of the other rivets. On a closer look, I noticed a crack running between them, probably about 2" long. This will bring up the subjects of critical crack length and minimum detectable crack lengths in fatigue theory.
