7 pointsJuly 25, 1965, Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival, performing a rock-and-roll set publicly for the very first time while a chorus of shouts and boos rained down on him from a dismayed audience. Six weeks before the 1965 festival, Bob Dylan had recorded the single that marked his move out of acoustic folk and into the idiom of electrified rock and roll. “Like A Rolling Stone” had only been released five days before his appearance at Newport, however, so most in the audience had no idea what lay in store for them. Neither did festival organizers, who were as surprised to see Dylan’s crew setting up heavy sound equipment during sound check as that evening’s audience would be to hear what came out of it.

4 pointsGot my first look at a WH with a hit & miss a couple of years ago at the Big Show as it was being driven around the grounds. Perhaps not too practical but a great demonstration of elegant ingenuity.
-
4 pointsGot the carb cleaned up and gone through and was able to start it. After that, I had to mess around with the drive pulley to get it to go on all of the way. The surging in the video is because I forgot I had my gas turned off at the tank. I was able to drive it around a little bit tonight. I put about a quart of an unopened thing of ATF that I found in the back of my grandma's garage that I think is older than me but I figured it's good enough for temporary to help flush the tranny. Tomorrow I need to swap the wide front axle onto our 1257 and take the narrow axle I put on the 1257 onto my 845. I also need to mess with the governor some.

3 pointsScored some rear WH wheel weights and some FMC wheel weights today . The WH weights are going on the C160 if I dont change my mind. Leaning 520H for the FMC weights. They look just like some Bolens weights I have seen before. Got the xtra 7 1/2” WH wheels for free. Been a good morning these wheel weights are pretty rare around here so I’m happy to have found them.The WH weights are white but think I like um red better did certain years have red and others have white weight?

3 pointsas an fyi - - for those who have the traditonal oem weights and have damaged decals in center ----- I checked and found that there are replacement decals available for those in need from REDOYOURHORSE Vinyl Guy?

2 pointshello there - got a 312-8 the other day and the previous owner made som modifications that im trying to undo. also im missing som parts and other things i dont think is for my machine or attachments. here are my questions: 1. how to i find out what year my 312-8 is from ? its missing the decals with serial number, the m12s engine serial starts with 17 and it may be from 1987 ? 2. i got a big bracket that i dont know what is for, its not for my cutting deck, snowthrower or the rototiller. 3. i got a smaller bracket that i also dont know is for, im missing the bracket that sits under the pto for my tiller, is there any one that has some messurements for it ? im thinking of making my own as getting used parts is kinda hard here in denmark where i live 4. the front pully assembly (mule drive?) is missing the nut and id like to know what size thread it has so i can buy a new one. 5: and lastly i think the linkage to the rear slot hitch is some homemade crap, it hits the rubber boot for the shift linkage, is that not supposed to be a wire ? can anyone tell me what the part number is for the complete cable im missing. there will more as i pogress on servicing the 312-8 as the previous owner has not been to kind to this tractor and i will get it to shape best regards kris from denmark

2 points@ineedanother They are wheel horse rims. I purchased one off flea bay and the other I picked up from a friend of mine.

2 pointsIs your engine spec number 471546? Good chance your tractor is a 1988 model E1-12K801. It took a while for the engines to land on a tractor and 1988 models would have been available in October 1987. Two pages of search results in no particular order for the E1-12K801 https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?&q=e1-12k801&type=downloads_file&page=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy

2 pointsHello and welcome to the group. Yes, the nut is 3/4" 16 fine thread. You will find your rear lift parts and more here. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/

2 pointsBar: Looks like it fits well. I wonder about shifting gears? Or is it just one gear? But still it looks like somebody put some time into this figuring out how it’s going to work with a hit and miss installed. I guess if you have the time and the parts you can make anything.

2 pointsI was afraid I hadn’t back filled enough soil on the lilies. I had the big trailer full of dirt that needed to be emptied. I am happy to see fresh growth on the greens! Trailer is empty, maybe another good drink for the plants, and they should be good to go according to my mentors.

2 pointsDown to Massachusetts helping my mom for a day. Trina pressure washed the entire back deck. Scraped the old paint off. Repeat. Repeat. Then... Removed the chicken wire that stapled all over the inside to keep the former dog in. I added a few screws to the ballusters. We replaced a post off the back steps. Then Trina painted ALL of the vertical parts and rails and ballusters. Inside. Outside. Steps. New. Old. Completed, not like it used to be - half covered. Tomorrow morning she's intending to paint the deck surface.

2 pointsThe problem was the noise from the Trac Vac is so loud i could not hear the engine bog down. When it kept slowing down and stopping I thought it was running out of fuel. Guess I cleaned all the grease off the brake lining. Yeah, I should probably move this gear drive down the road before I total it. I've had some near misses when I push the left pedal to stop and it just goes faster.

1 pointI usually try to have my wood ready before now. I try to keep a year ahead, but I'm off the pace this year, and that tree would go a long way towards making up the difference. We are going to her grandson's birthday party another 20 minutes up the road next Saturday. I may go up and work on that in the morning, catch a ride with up with Kristin, go home after the party, and then come back for it Sunday, as she lives about 5 minutes from our church.

1 pointYou’d be better off mounting the DC charger close to the battery being charged and having heavy supply leads installed in each vehicle and on the trailer between the vehicle and charger. That avoids voltage drop in the leads between the charger and the battery which could decrease the overall achievable state of charge. The flip side to this is the charger will try to maintain whatever power output it’s programmed to produce at a given batter state of charge, so voltage droop on its input side will lead to a concomitant current increase in those leads. This is not what would happen if you were just driving the charge ftom the vehicle battery with no DC charger between where voltage droop would also lead to current decrease or if you arrange it the other way and drive the charging circuit with a long run of wire on the output side. The Vevor unit appears to also accommodate Solar which is a plus. It’s 350W, so would exceed what your 7-way could provide so would require separate leads from the vehicle. It’s probably OK, but being budget priced could mean it will have a shorter life than a Victron or similar. If your use case is such that you aren’t living off this battery and have access to plug-in on a regular basis, optimizing the charge setup is probably not necessary. The vehicle will still charge it somewhat with just the 7-way, you’ll just have to top it off when you get home or find power available. The cost will be decreased battery life, but that cost probably washes out compared to the cost of a 100% solution. A good lead acid battery properly maintained will live a long time. I’ve had boat batteries hit 8 years when I’ve been a good steward of them; avoiding excessive discharge, never failing to recharge them immediately, watering them, disconnecting when not in use, etc. I’ve also had them go in three years when I’ve neglected them. Aside from being wasteful, they’re realistically not that expensive to replace… my next boat batteries will be LiFePO4. They’ve gotten pretty cheap and are tolerant to - actually prefer - not being charged to 100%. They have some downsides, but the benefits are generallly worth it. And not a bad way to go when replacement is necessary anyway. FWIW, you’ll see storage batteries rated in capacity using units of Amp-hours. For lead acid, you can only use about 50% of the rated capacity without damaging the battery. So that large battery is probably in the 100 A-hr range meaning it’s 50A-hr usable. So you can run a 50a load for an hour, or a 5 amp load for ten hours, etc. The inverter will shut down at some point when it’s no longer happy with its input voltage but other things like lights and whatnot will just get weaker and will draw less current as the voltage sags, so runtime won’t be linear.

1 pointSometimes in Netherlands (https://www.marktplaats.nl/) one can buy some WH parts, I don't know about shipping etc.,but you can always text them. If my eyes are good I can see some parts for buying there, even mule drive link.

1 pointSorry cannot help you on this. Not my vintage. I am sure some one will help you that has better knowledge of that time frame tractor. There should be a I.D. Plate on the frame. Maybe next to the lift handle. Sorry that I could not help you more.

1 pointi would do the oppisite when the 520H still had the foot control on it, I would think it was the brake and step on it and bout dookie my brithches.

1 pointThat is why Dollar General is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the United States, driven by aggressive store expansion, high consumable sales, and a surge in budget-conscious shoppers. The discount chain operates over 20,000 stores across 48 states. People will buy lower quality products thinking they are getting a good buy when in reality the price per pound (square foot or any other unit) is higher than others charge.

1 pointHow do you put a value on something that you made into a "one of a kind?" Then really make it special by shipping it half way across the country so a good friend who couldn't be there can see it and ad his signature? When RS members started signing the 20th anniversary banners at the Big Show, I knew I wanted a certain name on it that wasn't at the show. So I sent this to @stevasaurus so he could actually see it in person and autograph it for me. I was leery sending a 4 ft. long box through the mail so NATURALLY it got stuck in Indiana for like 4 days! But it finally arrived and the return trip was flawless. worth all the hand-wringing on my end. If someone wanted to buy the banner from me before I sent it, I would have had a hard time putting a dollar amount on it. Now there is no amount of $$$ I would consider. Someone will get it when I'm gone. PRICELESS!

1 pointIf my wife comments on the number of Wheel Horses I have I just go to her sewing room and she knows I don't have as many as she has sewing machines. Looking forward to the "clean up". Who are you kidding; it will be another 100% restoration.

1 point1988 Wheel Horse 416-8 Garden Tractor Onan Twin - ran last season/ As-Is Selling a one owner garage kept Mower and serviced by Mainline Mowers over the years and I have decided to use a lawn service. It is an original, heavy-duty 1988 Wheel Horse 416-8 garden tractor with the 16 HP Twin-Cylinder Onan Performer engine and the coveted 8-speed manual Uni-Drive transmission. Currently a non-runner. It was professionally serviced and ran great last season, but we contracted out our lawn care to a service and let the tractor sit. Tried starting it today and it won't fire up. The battery is weak from sitting, and it likely needs the old fuel drained and the carburetor cleaned. It turns over but needs a little TLC to get back to 100%. Complete with mid-mount cutting deck. The sheet metal is straight, and the original red paint and hood decals are well-preserved for a 1988 model. Tires hold air great. Garage kept. Typical wear for its age—the vinyl seat is split and the steering wheel has tape, but the bones of this machine are solid iron. Perfect weekend project for a collector or Wheel Horse enthusiast who knows how to clean a carb and jump a battery. Terms: $575 or best offer. Cash only, local pickup. You will need a trailer/truck to load.

1 pointI’m not the original owner. I found a guy a few years ago near Germansville, Pa who did home / estate cleanouts who listed it for sale with a bunch of other stuff including a 520-H. All low hour stuff sitting in a garage for many years. I sold off some stuff but kept the 418-A. I try to put a few hours a year on it to keep it running good. Always use ethanol free gas in all my stuff and it makes a huge difference in performance.

1 pointHi Don...... I still have the Eddie Murphy Tractor.......My son as Darb can attest to has a match also a 418-A ......Many folks here from Red Square have seen my herd and purchased many things from me through the years ....
