    Couldn’t get a good rear shot because of the sprayer, maybe I should have saved this for front end Friday ! I know it’s not a Wheel Horse but I figured you guys would like it. This tractor belongs to a friend of mine who has many Case and International Harvester tractors. Most of which are in this condition!

    Instead of doing it while mowing, I make special event of it. The C141 - 8-speed with the tranny selected to Low 2 or Low 1, Throttle set at about 3/4 position, Ear buds in, Beverage in hand & away we go. Usually about a 3 drink job.

    I’m not sure if I’ve ever lined up Frank with a 953 or 1054, but I found this photo opportunity pretty cool. The comparison of the two is similar, but so different!

    Put the new shoes on the horse today since the wheels were good and dry. Wheel weights back on tomorrow. And a nice straight hood is in the works. Some minor body work and then prime and paint. Old one has major damage.

    I have the Northern Tool one for smoothing out and planting the junior plow field. Works better than a pallet or bed spring. Real reasonable at the time. It can be flipped over for the spikes up or down. You can also add sections to it to make it bigger. Kind of a PIA if it gets all tangled up.

    They are a great piece of equipment for final finish before planting. They do tend to plug up easy if you have a lot of trash though (loose grass, leaves, etc) 1- moldboard plow 2- disc harrow 3- drag harrow or chain harrow 4- plant Would also be useful as a finish tool on gravel as you suggested.

    I sharpened blades of my 42 RD deck. Who knows when somebody did this before but blades (aside from some dirt,oil and surface rust) looked as new. Oregon 91-804 as we speak. I used butane small torch, 1 1/8 wrench, another diy flat wrench to install blades, and some brutal force to unscrew the nuts.

    There is many uses for a chain drag harrow, my grandfather would use one to distribute cow manure in fields he temporarily had cows in.

    See if you can find an electrical conduit lock nut to add to the fitting before you install it into the block. Install the fitting as far as it will go into the block and then back it out at least 1/2 a turn so the fitting is loose. Using a hammer and punch now tighten the lock nut against the block. Fitting is now tight. If you remove using the reverse sequence once a year it will likely never be seized again. I always apply graphite to the threads as it seems to help. What the lock nuts look like available from Home Depot or the like. They are available for all common pipe sizes. This is a procedure I learned from a small engine repair shop that serviced thousands of small engines a year. It was part of their regular service.

    Did not know we had one of these on the forum. But I sold my c-120 today and went to a great cause. Father and son project!

    You are talking about a 656, right? Did you download the manual - it should clearly show the ignition switch wiring. Not so on the Facet pump (not offered by WH) The pump red wire goes to either the "I" terminal or at the coil "+" side. Do add an inline fuse in a weather resistant holder on that. The black goes to a good frame ground. This way, it turns off with the key off. Not a bad idea to add another fuse on the Battery wire to the keyswitch either...

    Good news, guys. The name Wheel Horse and the logo will live on, with new Wheel Horses tractors and implements being built. MTD has purchased the Wheel Horse name and logo from Toro, and will start building new equipment with the famed Wheel Horse name and logo. Ridney Dongerfield, a spokesman for MTD, said, "Wheel Horse never got the respect. MTD is proud to announce that Wheel Horse will be joining our line of garden equipment, joining names like Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Bolens." The new Wheel Horses will be built using MTD's reputation for quality products and is expected to look similar to a Yardman, but with the famed Wheel Horse logo, name and color scheme. Prices to be similar to a new Cub Cadet, with several models being planned. Models will include tractors with various deck sizes, engine sizes and features. Expect new tractors to start appearing February 30 of next year.

    My 11 year old son told his mom he had made her some brownies, and left them in the kitchen. ...I fear for his safety when she decides to get him back.

    Those interchange lists can't see into the future. Just rest assured, ALL the decks from the tach-a-matic years are interchangeable. Just to simplify things, ignore the 37" and 60" and the lawn tractors. That means from 72-73 thru 2007. Any differences in the p/n's doesn't affect the interchangeability. I'm running a late 70's deck on a 2005 and a 2005 deck on a 1976. It's as simple as that.

    Not exactly a Wheel Horse attachment, but the MF GC1720 I just bought came with a chain harrow. I've never used one, but I think it will be a useful for maintenance on a gravel driveway. Anybody out there used one of these?

    Well we were able to put together an interesting group at the big show on Friday. @Lane Ranger, Chris Frock , Josh Aungst, and myself got our tractors together for some pictures with our extremely uncommon CBR-327 front mount sickle bar mowers. It was very cool to get 4 of these together in one place considering how uncommon they are. Thank you guys for bringing them along. For those of you that may not know, these sickle bars were made/sold in 1961 and early 1962 based off of paperwork I have found. They were similar to the prior CBR-32 sickle bars used on rj/suburban tractors but used a floating chain drive system and different hitch to be mounted on the front engine round hood tractors. I know of around 8 to exist personally. I’m sure there are more but still very uncommon.

    At Florida Flywheelers this year on Rodney Burger's. 701 with the CBR-327 Front Chain Drive Cutter Bar I refurbished a couple years ago. We had a lot of visitors looking at this while we demonstrated how it works.

    Not all electrical conduit lock nuts are the same, be sure to ask for a RIDGID CONDUIT LOCK NUT. Many of the lock nuts sold at big box stores are for EMT fittings and will not work well, go to an electrical supply house.

    Even though, this was an April's Fool joke, Toro did use MTD back in 2006 and 2007 to make a line of lawn and garden tractors. Toro stopped making both the Classic Wheel Horses and the Toro lawn and garden tractors in 2006. So to fill that void, the contracted MTD to make the LX line of lawn tractors. These were made by MTD with the Toro name on them and painted red in 2006 and 2007. I run across some on facebook marketplace from time to time. They looked a bit like what the MTD built Troy Bilt tractors look like.

    I closed the deal on this today. Only had time to work the paperwork and write the check. Supposed to be raining here for a few days. Won't be able to try it out for a few days.

    Go to Tractor Supply and get a 5L820 and a 5L810. Use the one that fits best and return the other and you'll be fine. It's a Hydro so you don't have to worry about clutching.

    Today, I swapped the idler for the drive pulley on my 312-8 mowing tractor. I thought I had a better one. It sounded worse, so after checking out the old one which seemed good so i put it back on and made sure it was tight. It's ready to go now and in the process figured out how to get the side panel off without taking half the body panels off. A win in my book.

    Looks to be about a 1965 to 68 short frame tractor style, 36 inch cut. Look up RM-366. I use the same on my 854. It appears to be in usable condition. I see the height adjustment knob is missing....

    I found a chunk of 1/2" thick x 2" wide steel bar and made two more spacers. I now have the rear hitch spaced down 7/8" I now have 4-1/2" of lift on the blade and still have some down float when fully lowered as well. Not a lot when compared to my big tractor and it's cat 1 three point hitch but better than it was. Hopefully now I can move it around the yard in the summer without ripping up too much sod.

    Today I put the 417-A with blower away for the year, so I had to move some tractors around. Figured I’d snap a few pics, couldn’t wait for side shot Saturday to post 😂 Sorry for the grease on the front wheel of the 418-C I removed it immediately after I took the picture 😂 I figured I’d say that before one of you wise guys said something about it!!
