6 pointsGotta record this here for the future! Our garage has been a mess too long and so today was the day to do spring cleaning! Zach got home from work and jumped right in to help. He had been “dying” to check out/us the WH wagon. I have had it standing up next to the wall for the last 5 years or so. Zach has no memory of riding in the wagon even though he has on a couple of occasions. now he is begging me to restore it. I told him that he has several other projects to finish and then he can do this one. He told me that when he has his own place someday he wanted to buy this from me. I told him that it’s not for sale—and I could tell he was disappointed (I generally don’t sell stuff to my kids). I said, “if you want it that much, it’s yours when you have your own place with a garage or shed to keep it inside…”😎🙌🏻 after all—he is the only one of my four kids that has owned a Wheel Horse since he was three years old and restored it when he was nine💪🏻 He even used the custom @Achto hitch pin to pull it around…thanks again @19richie66 for the sweet Blackbeard decal—looks really cool on there! Another chapter in the Zach/blackbeard story📖

6 pointsAlthough I have pictures of Zach in and on this wagon they are from about 6 years ago and he has no recollection of it. We were doing some massive garage cleaning/organizing tonight and he was super excited about the wagon…so I let him hook up Blackbeard and haul burnables to the fire pit! He was in his element!

5 pointsTwo things Johnny Carson never did made him a class act and an example that I wish was being followed today. He never got involved in politics and he could tell a joke without being vulgar.

5 pointsi always thought my 37 SD on my 312-8 was terrific cut - - maybe the 2 blade design, or the lift attachment on the one blade -- but it sure leaves nice cut - and the 12 Kohler always enough power
-
5 pointsMowed all my parent’s lawn with the 312. It powered through with only one stop to tighten the mule drive. The PTO went bad on their mower so it had been a week since it was mowed. The grass is growing like crazy with our odd weather for the time of year lately. I also recruited the 308 for them to use if they need to. Just a little grease in the mule drive and a once over to check it over as my test after I put the deck on had a new noise up front. After it’ll be good to go.

3 pointsNothing like the slapping of vacuum wipers on a deary day. Drove the '47 Chevy to town and began to sprinkle on way home. Don't get to use the wipers much. 20260522_093425.mp4

3 pointsmany times 2 ply 4 ply are merely a rating. Many 4 ply rated small tires only have two plys when you cut into them

3 pointsShow prep . Had a little axle drip going on, and decided it’s time to make it like new again . That oem seal from 40 years ago sure gave me a run for my money .

2 pointscheck the shafts and internal surfaces for scratches /corrosion...

2 pointsSome things here I haven’t seen in a while: openable vent, window crank, third pedal.

2 pointsThat is the key phrase to look (or look out) for.... A lot of the "Not from around here" brands are 2 ply. Two ply tires are easier to mount, but not as puncture resistant as four ply tires....

2 pointsWorking on the pre repair shop to-do list this morning. Bleach seat. Seal up the roof lights so it can sit outside. Put axles in pile. Check that tote for other parts. Check and count all bearings. Re-read Redsquare thread to recall all axle information. Install battery and hold down. CHANGE ENGINE OIL. Start:

2 pointsIt could be done with the deck on the tractor, that way you can inspect it as used. If the gage Wheel support rod is bent or tweaked it could hold one side up higher than the other. if that is the case you could put one end in a vise and use a long pipe wrench to twist the other end to match it. If you don't have these tools available make friends with someone who does.

2 pointsHi guys, thanks for the feedback. I'm on my way to beautiful Anguilla for a bit, so no rototillers for now! Yes, I removed the tines & replaced the seals, but I THOUGHT I had them layed out properly. Boy will my face be red if that is the case! My troy-bilt horse is a beast, and although it has the same limitations, I can apply generous down pressure via the handlebars. Yeah, Central PA clay is no fun. I got a tooth bar for my FEL to get through it. I think I finally got it tilled enough for my zinnia seeds this year. It will be watered generously over the summer, so tilling either this autumn or next spring will be easier. I am also considering adding pelleted gypsum to help lighten it.

2 pointsStandard 7.5 inch Wheel Horse wheels will accept most any 10.50 wide turf tire. Ag cleats of the same 10.50 (actual) width on the other hand can be troublesome on 7.5 wide wheels. The bar treads force all the flex to the sidewalls on some tires and make clenching the bead tough without tubes. Better to use 8.5 (like 520 wheels) or wider wheels for these. So 23x10.50-12 turfs (or any non-bar tread) should be good.

2 pointsThe big spring on the cross shaft provides the resistance to the motion control. The little springs back on the slider were only used on Wheelamatics... (875-1275 vintage tractors.)
-
2 pointsMake sure the metal tab on the left end of the shaft (bolted to the hoodstand) isn't broken or the bolt missing. (#24/25)

2 pointsSpent the day doing some more yard projects. Other half and I decided to sell the pool this year and buy a park pass and travel different state parks this summer. We also decided to turn the old pool location into a new flower garden. So spent the day digging out the sand and digging down the under layer of soil and ordered 6 yards of garden soil. They said it was going to be delivered by the end of the weekend. Awesome! Now I have the time to dig all that sand out. We'll I dug all the sand out and wouldnt you know I looked up and tue dumptruck was dumping my garden soil. So no rest for the wicked right to filling wheelbarrows and the new garden spot. Also built a walk way from my pad though the garden to the lawn. Turned out pretty nice.

2 pointsOne has dynamic braking, the other has a mechanical brake. I think it would be a bigger project than you want to tackle. Just my opinion.
-
2 pointsReplaced seal behind brake drum(I just noticed when I posted pics I put brake drum on backwards ), and changed oil in rear of the 312-8 I been working. Also got to try out my new headlight, and before anyone ask, no thats not a professional model in last pic just me.

1 pointI'm thinking about going with a 2 ply rear tire for my B100 project. my thoughts are the 2 ply should be softer in the sidewalls and may give better contact patch and look. Anybody have any experience to share about 2 ply vs 4 ply. thanks

1 pointI hadn’t noticed the hours. That is a pretty big number and caution is indicated. If maintained properly, an Onan P218 can expect a 2,000 hour lifetime. I would dig deep and pointedly on this tractor's history. How frequent were: oil & filter changes (with filter-to-shroud gasket in place), de-carboning of the combustion chambers, valve adjustments, shrouds-off cleaning of the cooling fins, and carb cleaning? A vague or “I don’t know” answer would lead me to walk away or make a price offer as if it were a non-running parts machine. Good Onan practices: the shorter of 100 hour or bi-annual oil changes and 700 hour de-carb and valve adjustment. No fixed interval for shrouds-off cleaning but as needed by paying attention to how it was used. Operating in dusty situations (dry grass or leaves or dirt) or any sign to oil leakage on the cooling fins necessitate more frequent cleaning. As for the Eaton 700, the quickest way to judge it is to peek into the under-seat oil expansion tank atop the transaxle after the tractor has been running and moving for at least five minutes (which heats up and expands the oil in the transaxle). If the tank is empty or if the oil in it shows any metallic particles (dip and retrieve using a clean wide screwdriver and spread the oil under a bright light), the Eaton has not been treated properly.

1 pointI just saw your truck thread. It looks like a very nice solid, straight truck---definitely worth getting back on the road again. The 300-inch six is an excellent mill. I've owned four F250s over the years (although none with that engine), plus several other pickups, and now I've 'downsized' to an F150. When it comes to axle work, I can't claim to be an expert, although I've overhauled a bunch of rear ends (I used to break them occasionally during my hot rod years in high school and college). I still have a case spreader lying around somewhere. Rear end work can be a bit fussy to deal with, so having a professional take care of it probably isn't a bad idea. I'll follow your thread to see how it goes.

1 pointPicture 2 is definitely an Eaton 700. The plastic thing on top is the fluid expansion tank.

1 pointGo to the Digi-Key website and search for card edge connectors, you need to measure the pitch to get the spacing right. Just measure over all of them and divide by the number of spaces. Apparently there is a bracket involved not showing on the eBay photos.

1 pointThat's what I do for a living. Mass RADON You can find information online and at massradon.com about radon mitigation. Most states would have someone in their Dept of Health which can answer local specific questions. Look through some stuff and give me a call with your questions. Happy to answer them

1 pointPut some black tape over the holes in the instrument panel and forget it. Never understood why I need a light to tell me I have my foot on the brake or stood up. That is why I only have one modern horse and much prefer old simple designs.

1 pointBrings back memories of my spring bear hunts in Northern Quebec. The flys were deadly. I spent many nights in the woods with several cans of DEET in my sleeping bag and with a head net over my face. Before leaving the sleeping bag, you had to lay down a cloud of DEET to clear the flys long enough to jump in your cloths. One year we had a new hunter that failed to keep covered and was bitten around his neck so badly he had difficulty breathing. We had to rush him South to the Maniwaki Hospital. The strange thing was, the little Indian school children stood by the road every morning in shorts and T shirts waiting for the school bus. Seemed they were not bothered by the flys???

1 pointReplaced muffler from parts 310-8 to 312-8 Ive been converting to Electric fuel pimp on. Got everything back together and fired right up, well after I let the epump fill lines and bowl up on carb. Works great this is one of the smoothest running 12hp kohlers Ive ever had powerfull and not a hint of smoke . Notice the tie rod in pic both look like that so thats next on list. Forgot pic of mower deck but its in great shape also. I dont belive this mochine was used alot it has a little over 500hrs showing on meter. This is the mochine I had to buy to het the 520H and really didn’t want it but glad I pulled the trigger on them .

1 pointPainted a belt guard and the brake linkage cover and got my 864 logo stuck on. I haven't gotten to take a photo of the belt guard on the tractor as I need to get the right pulley because the one we have is too thick and rubs on the belt guard. @Handy Don, @ri702bill, what pulley did you guys use for your hi-lo 854s?
-
1 pointWell we found out was causing the problem and got the tranny put back together for the third time and put it in the tractor again and now it works and is a lot slower in low gear. I've also got 100 pounds total weight per wheel plus my 135-140 pounds and limited slip and chains I shouldn't be spinning very much this winter.

1 pointDidn’t know where to put this super cool picture and so I figured I’d add it to the Zac-Man’s thread! We took a field trip day to DC today and he was set on wearing his “Plow Dog” sweatshirt! here Zach is looking across the reflection pond to the Lincoln Memorial! It was a really cool and historical day for our family! tagging the other LC buddies ( @WHX??, @Achto, @stevasaurus, @Pullstart, @Shynon, @prondzy, @Rp.wh)
