My main man Jacob @jeremi3210's boy up to his usual antics. A old bhind cultivator with a tecky snow blower repo. He even took his contraption in the parade and a couple of blocks down to A&W.

    I concentrated on taking pic's of tractors that are not seen very often. Reo tractor These 2 Speedex were built in the same year. Bush Hog Work Bird one of the first zero turns. Shaw lawn mower. Mighty Might Gavely Westchester with a body by Studebaker. Estate tractor Wagner Little Giant John Deere Sweepster. JD's attempt to enter the gulf cart industry. Brillion Explorer Unsure ? Rugg Huffy Hawk Mayrath's with & with out a body.

    What would the show be without you there?

    You need a slot hitch or a Brinly. Just remove the pin, take off the spacers and it will fit right in. Looks like might need a lift cable or rockshaft depending on what you want to do. Not sure how/what is needed for a lift cable for a 160 but everything can be had at https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/ You may also have to lose the ball. A Brinly is best for a Brinly field plow. Slot adapters can be had for a slot hitch. I run a slot/draw bar combo on all my horses.

    An aftermarket option. https://www.lilredbarn.net/product-p/k321-master-standard.htm I have had very good luck with parts from this seller Very important to know what parts are needed before ordering a kit. Measure your bore and crank pin before you order. This way you know if you will need an over sized piston or an under sized rod. Always send you new parts along with when you take the block or crank to your machinist.

    July 14, 1968, Atlanta Braves slugger Henry “Hank” Aaron hits the 500th home run of his career in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Henry Aaron was born February 5, 1934, in Mobile, Alabama. The third of eight children, Aaron was a star football player, third baseman and outfielder in high school, and signed with the ***** League’s Mobile Black Bears while still a teenager. He joined the Indianapolis Clowns in 1952 at age 18 and helped them win the ***** League World Series. The next year, his contract was sold to the Milwaukee Braves of the National League. On April 13, 1954, Aaron became the last former ***** League player to make his debut in the major leagues.

    This '58 classic will be sold at the auction. Ran when parked. Tires hold air. NOS grill. Or should I save my nickel and buy this one.

    I do a few rehab projects with grandsons each year...mostly decks, seat pans, few footrests, an occasional plow blade, etc.....some need more rust cleaning than others..if not very severe rust or pitting, then grinder, wire wheel, scaler etc often get job done. However, I did do some consideration couple years ago to buy blaster....Instead, I use a nearby fairly priced professional sand blaster who has done various projects for me... Every one of us has different considerations, but for me I'd rather have him deal with all the downside issues of doing the blasting than me. .... I'm happy dropping project with him and picking it up few days later. No $ cost for me to buy and maintain equipment, buy media, no mess, no labor, no sweating, no clean up, no health considerations, etc....and great perfectly finished beautiful bare metal piece

    If the engine handles the task at hand and is not consuming a lot of oil I would consider it a keeper. If you do intend to rebuild the engine here is a thread that will be worth reading. Though this is a small block Kohler build thread the steps taken are the same as your Magnum 14.

    @Fj40z more pics of mochine would be helpful in seeing what your have or have not"s are. If you are missing the lift handle, rock shaft, etc. you may be better off purchasing a whole parts mochine...

    Others might be able to tell you for sure but it looks like you need a rockshaft to me I made one of my sleeve hitches. Even making it back around 2018 I think it cost me around $60-70 in material to make one. I also didn't need the rockshaft. Like mentioned you can get everything from wheelhorsepartsandmore. It's not really that easy to get the setup used for cheaper, because not that many people will get rid of those parts.

    Thanks for the pics, guys! That snowblower on the Gravely, was that built directly inside the town square of Osha, Wisconsin?

    More explanation is probably helpful. My idea is to run this up the side and staple it in place, a little glue near the cuts to make a better seal of course. I’ll run aluminum sheet along the walls and over the rubber. In my mind, it’s like building a shower pan. I don’t intend for it to be water proof, but withstand a strategic wash if needed.

    A C-160 should have came with a manual lift bar and mid mount rockshaft for a lift cable.

    I only have a drawbar on both my WH’s. I’d like to have a clevis hitch or something similar to be able to use a plow or other implements even though I don’t have them yet. Trouble is I’m still fairly green to this whole scene so knowing what I need, options available or if it’s even feasible I do not know. I’ve searched a lot on here and see a lot of WH’s with lift cables or manual lifts and slot hitches and I gotta be honest I can’t figure out from pictures what I’d need or how it bolts up. Here’s a pic of the rear of the C160-8, as always any insight is certainly appreciated!

    I rolled out the entire door, cut it to (excessive) length, and rolled it back down. My glue pattern kind of duplicates the idea of an ag tire. I figured a diagonal grip to the wood would ensure maximum grip to a glued surface at any given time. Time will tell if that is a good idea. Like the trailer floor, I used the e-track box to roll out the bubbles and slack. A few passes center, left, right, repeat, and it seemed to flatten out well. I think the ramp worked out better than the trailer floor, but it needs to hold things by itself too. The floor will have e-track to secure it also.

    Agreed. How long since you had the head off to de-carbon the combustion chamber?? You may wish to start there.... Gives you a look-see at the piston (for excessive oil use), the valves, seats, & guides for issues. Remove the breather, check the valve clearances. Then decide if it's a simple cleanup & re-gasket job or a full teardown... If it is a simple upper end job, all the work can be done with the engine left in the tractor. As @Handy Don would say - "there's no need to guild the lily".

    Runs good I guess I’ve never had one of these motors till now. I don’t have a comparable good running motor, but this one seems fine. My plan is to strip and repaint and replace broken and worn parts this winter. I get I shot of smoke about every 10 min when mowing out of the grill. I just figured the valves are probably getting a little rough. It also uses a little oil. Basically I’d like to have as much of a new mower as possible by spring this mower is one of the best cutting mower’s I’ve ever had.

    @BR2 just curious , what is this engine doing? typically , any recent purchase / pickup , needs a lot of things . my base line is , to separate possible , reasons , like run engine on a seperate gallon of heavily treated fresh fuel , eliminate , tractor tank and related , fuel line issues , drop carb bowl , clean out , engine oil , HOW MANY HOURS ON THIS SET UP ? looks like typical neglect to me , would already have a penetrating oil soak down , recovering that paint , let that stay for days weeks , while you tinker . that valvoline 10-30 VR1 , oil is made for flat tappet cams , also enhances engine VARNISH REMOVAL , that causes engine smoking . break it down in stages , verify as you go , hope you gain as you go . that deck set up also needs help , pete

    Saw our oldest son yesterday. He mentioned that the Big Boy is scheduled to pass through Hobart Indiana in the near future not too far from his house. Hope he gets a picture or two when it does.

    Are any of you guys going to be able to go see this as it comes through the East for the 1st time?? I've seen it a couple times when it came through Geneva and West Chicago, Ill a couple years ago. It is worth it if you get the chance !! This is worth seeing ...there is only 1. Go on You Tube and check out it going through the Feather River in the Rockies. Out standing for sure!! A schedule...

    I use 2 28oz tubes of HD adhesive, and the floor is glued in on bottom. I still need to cut the door opening and lay some metal over the side flaps. The back edge is still long. I may leave it a bit long, so any wet tires coming in won’t allow moisture at the edge. Let the door press seal it down, if you will. The e-track is 57 lbs and 5’ long. I figured it would work well to press the bubbles out, so I worked it front to rear a few times. I like the outcome.

    Gave away a round hood yesterday. Crazy, I know. It’s quite beat, and the engine went on to a better project. My buddy Aaron pinstriped Poppy for me back in the day and always does me awesome favors. When he mentioned wanting a round hood to customize, I figured this can’t be hurt too much more.

    This is a 1983 C-175 Automatic 11-17KE01, Serial Nbr 13120647, in very good condition with a 48" mower deck. The engine is a Kohler 17 hp twin cylinder, KT17S Spec 24223 (Series 1). Engine was rebuilt by previous owner and has 122 hours on it. Runs good and strong, no leaks and no smoke. All tires hold air. Battery replaced September of 2025. Only issue is the starter does not always immediately engage the flywheel to turn over the engine. Probably just needs to be removed and cleaned. Cash on pickup on west side of Cincinnati.

    For some reason the LED tail light on my 953 didn't survive the trip to the Big Show. Stopped at Horror Fright and picked up this groovy tail light for cheap. Even had a piece of steel the right color!

    I definitely use mine enough to justify having it around. Tillers, decks, motors, all the stuff I don't have any interest in manually carrying (most everything!). Bungee cords are a must to keep stuff from swinging out of control. Mine uses the attachment points and a section of an old frame and works pretty well.

    Saw it today. Incredible to see it up close. RxR tracks come through property at work so we were able to get pretty close as it went by. Nice cause of area being private property nobody from the public was there VID_20260609_110952.mp4
