February 25, 1991 R.E.M.'s biggest hit, defining their crossover into mainstream pop, was "Losing My Religion," released on February 25, 1991 as the first single from their album Out of Time, reaching No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and becoming their highest-charting US single.

I'll go out on a limb here and say get them all. Swap them out weekly for a different look. SWMBO can't say a dang thing she's got different outfits. The same seat when new to.

Looking at getting a new seat for the ol 1257. Don't know how previous owner (@WHX??) was so ruff on the one on it? Would like to get a poll on which seat y'all prefer. I know it is ultimately my choice but thought it might be fun to get a tally on which would be the most popular. I think I like the one with the white middle. From left to right ABCD what say ye Wheel Horse junkies. If anyone has pictures of these seats installed, I sure would like to see um. This is the seats Matt Castagno sells on fakebook .

Spring hooks onto a little tab welded to the belt tension arm. Here is mine with the pulley removed.

Here’s his red wheelhorse one on my B-80 pulling tractor.

This is a very old thread. You might do better if you post in the Classified section.

Last year with mine, I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I cleaned up my original seat pan and reused the original seat covers, sprayed it with vinyl fabric paint, and stuffed it to “plump” it back up, as it was flat as a pancake. Just an idea if your seat cover is still decent.

The guy who did this video was in my High School graduating class...Elgin High 1967. Bob is the author and musician that put this video together. Sadly, he just passed a few weeks ago. The pictures are of most of us that went through the Service in the late 60's. These are friends that I still get together with, golf with and sometimes party with. We have lost a few of these guys, but the memories are still strong. I am in the last picture, back row, middle. Steve H. Thanks for watching.

Are you talking about Jake Kuhn’s weights for sale? I bet we can help you out with the hauling help to the big show…. PM to discuss

I vote number B!

That's easy... hear tell curds and beans have roughly the same octane equivalent in the northern variety Homo sapien... I vote B.

Riding the storm out............

All perspective. There's an hour you learned something too. Learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. It ain't gonna take you an hour the next time!

I have Amish neighbors that will take fresh road kills. I hauled one last year and one this year.

I am very excited to announce that as of Saturday Sept 6th 2014 a new club has been established and named the BUCKEYE WHEEL HORSE COLLECTOR CLUB with a total of 21 registered members so far. A few of us local collectors here in Ohio have been talking about starting a club for years and we decided to make it happen this past weekend at the Mansfield,Ohio show. We will be sending out news letters to the registered members with more info,meetings etc..as they occur,we are currently working on a club logo.

A and D, use A for work and swap to D for shows.

I had two large does get hit in two days, so decided to haul them away from the road side. I had a thought that possibly one dead one attracted others to the area. Upon pulling the two away, I found the blood trail of a third. I’m still seeing activity in the snow, so I know these weren’t the only ones in the area, but it’s still sad to see them killed without harvest.

Which engine are you referring to? All the faults you describe are common to an engine that is just worn out. The price range you describe sounds a bit high, even if it is an Onan.

@TonyToro Jr. reminded me I forgot about this option.Will call it option E.

Yup - the seatback matches the tri-ribs.

If you use the tractor for any work, I'd avoid the white. If it's just for staring at, then the black/white ones look pretty sweet.

For working? The one with the sturdiest material. For showing off? The two-tone.

Lots out in the jungle but they're nothing special if you just want to make one. https://www.sepw.com/parts/tl-119-3337-pod-lh/?srsltid=AfmBOoo-_j8wS5DgdARGb59cHJ1qtkMQ_6od1IO5soVcfNcj1GwUBJrZsog

Leave the pump in place and run the hose around it.

I just cut the lines and install the electric pumps and leave the old pumps in place. The only issue could be if the diaphragm has a hole it could pump gas into the crank case.

This is the dealer sticker on our 702 that our neighbor bought when it was new. The building itself is no longer what it used to be but it is still there as someones garage or something.

"Uh, would you like Fries with that, Sir??" And so it began...

Came across this searching marketplace .

It's hard to tell with all the wind and drifts but guessing about 10-14" on top of what was still on the ground from the last big one. Kind of nice NOT to have the highest totals in the area for once!

Didn't even think about that Location East Tennessee.

AND there are a couple more variants... The 701 double-pulley belt guard, and the 702 style - similar to the one without the ribs, but has a much smaller dimple at the small end, not a full circle...

Are you trying to make me go postal tonight! That's twice!

what kind of weight does a rj58 use on the front end to help keep the front down it likes to ride a Willie in third gear

Enough my gut hurts again...

If I see one more round hood wheelie

So now you got something against wheelies?????

Make sure the engine pulley groove is CLEAN and smooth. No rusted spots an especially no paint. Use a 29" cloth covered belt for lawn and garden applications. A rubber sided belt for electric motor applications will grab much to quickly. I've had plenty of RJs and Suburbans over the years and still have 4 but none of them will immediately go to wheelies without added weight on the front unless the clutch is dumped to full fast enough to make it happen. With a brand new belt, drive the tractor under load like driving up a hill but only use 1/2-3/4 clutch so it's still slipping the belt a little. You could chain the front to something solid and do it in reverse if you don't have a hill. The idea is to glaze the belt sides which will make them smoother and it won't grab as quick. That'll happen anyway but doing this speeds up that process and also helps to remove any belt memory from the packaging.

@SylvanLakeWH

Just happens to be a thread going on now Chris. What little weight filling does on these little guys isn't much my . Can't hurt tho I supose. You might know this from your trip to the BS but only other "correct" options are a tombstone or inside the hood weight with are gonna be $$ not to mention hen's teeth in your neck of the woods. They are more for collector's show offs than anything these days.

I think alot of mid engine machines had filled front tires. Back in the old days they used calcium, which is why most old RJs have rotted out front wheels.

There are multiple options you could use, you could fill the front tires with some rv antifreeze, make a weight bracket for the front of it, find a set of tombstone weights for it, find some 8 inch cast iron wheel weights to put on the wheels, or if you get luck and have a lot of money if one pops up Wheel Horse used to have a big ole chunk of cast iron that was molded to fit inside the nose of the hood. Or if you wanna do something cheap and you don't care about originality you could figure out a way to put some brake rotors under the hood on the frame for some weight.

On a 867 brought in today.
