Wanted to clean the new to me C-145auto but the garage was 28 degrees and it was even colder outside. So just a scraping, shop-vac and rag cleaning today. Also installed a belt engage/disengage lever (completely missing!)

Security camera footage of one of the more notorious and most wanted ringleaders:

Seen this for sale on FBMP Metric and American??

First look it reminded me of a belt keeper on er/guard for a early RJ ... thinking now a spring tooth. Tell ya what it really is ... a part to build an entire custom franken horse around... You start out with that one piece and end up with a running driving tractor.

The start of the mafia ... Trouble is when it was repealed it started this...

January 16, 1919 The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, authorizing the prohibition of alcohol, is ratified by a majority of US states. This new law of the land would be implemented one year later.

It says 8-10in., no way you could use it for metric.

'Course not to far off there EB. When I first succumbed to the addiction I had to look for them. Now they seem to fall out the sky. Some for free and many $100 rollers with a motor that fired right up. Some really nice ones for short money. People would see my junk yard and line ups from the road and just stop and see if I ran a tractor repair shop and ask if I was interested in another horse. She has since made me move them to unseen quarters Alice the C-120 came from a drive by for very very short money ... 200 ... ... with a magnum, a deck and a show tiller!!! Widowed PO just wanted to see it a good home.

Whatsaa mattah wit' you... That's not metric & american. That's so you can use it on bolts that face each direction.

Congratulations. Acknowledgement is the first step in regulating the sickness... Personally, I have never had a problem quitting.

Lefty loosey....Righty tighty No need to turn it over. On your way Joe?

Riiiiiiiight.........sure you are..........

Well you know what we do with old horses ... We can put child proof floor boards on a Lawn Ranger ... NO ... no projects ... Dan's already getting my projects I'll never get to and he's got enough projects ... 401, 702, pullin mules, two seaters ... 'sides I'm tractor heavy ... downsizing ... culling the herd ...

Front axle ready to be installed. Front axle pin ready to be installed. I made this up at my old work place and it uses a cotter pin instead of an E clip for the secondary retainer. 3/4" pin is stainless steel and the tab is carbon steel. Tractor ready for front axle to be installed. Front axle installed. Front axle pivot pin bolt installed and torqued to 17 ft/lb. Front axle pivot pin stainless cotter pin and thin shim washer installed. Tractor assembly as of today.

This is listed for the D-250 10-speed - similar and reversible https://www.partstree.com/models/67-42cr01-toro-42-cultivator-attachment-1976

There fixed that ...

It happens…

Resulting in crime, corruption, bootlegging and smuggling until it was repealed 13 years later.

You’ve come to a herd on Enablers with that weak song. No dice. We’ve all been under the wrath snd survived…well a sort of

Good job. Looking great !

they are asking $75 for that thing!!!! Ain't even got a hanging hole

I don’t need any more. But I don’t know if I can help it. Every time I say that, I see a good deal.

Yep- pull the manual clutch disc off.

Looks like the friction disc for a manual pto which may have been original. The electric clutch disc is inside the outer assembly where the electric coil is. This may apply to the one you have.

Actually done this yesterday but forgot to post it. Mounted new Deestones tri rib’s on 73 12hp-8 also new front wheel brgs., made up a short frame snow plow, put snow plow and bracket on 857. Took 1257 home and 857 to Moms and waited on snow that never came.

My brother and I have been busy with chain saws this past year. The family farm has fell into disrepair over the past thirty years after dad died. Some areas of cropland were reduced by up to 36' from fence row to first row of crops by intrusion of brush and trees. We cut down some 200 saplings and several larger trees. This pond dam pictured below was impassable until we cleaned it up. I had never used a pole saw before and the electric ones really come in handy on a job like this.

Thanks. I doubt it will stay organized forever, and I wish it was a little bigger, but for just me and the boy it's a nice size. I've been working on cars on my back, usually in the middle of the night, in the middle of winter for 25 years. I feel the pain.

Nice job!!! Looks like a perfect size and well organized.

Mystery boxes came today in a big truck: So I unpackered them: and now I am tired. The shop is more, or less, done for now. I still have some outlets to place, and an air line to run, but the major elements are in place. Time to get to work.

This is the axle assembly cover, fabricated from 13x12 .125 steel. Debating powder coat IH Red or paint Sunset Red-Rustoleum?

Exactly- This is for right or left handed individuals...

Not too shabby a tractor either...

I fit it today for the bolt holes, then same color as the sickle

Don’t really need another tractor but I saw someone selling an 875 for $100 in my area. From what I can gather it’s a 1965 model year only, first automatic? I’m assuming none of the later attachments from the C series and 300 series fit. Just wondering if anyone has any input. Like I said, I definitely don’t need another tractor but for $100, it caught my eye.

The older Electric PTOs like yours need bigger push off bolts. Probably 7/8"NC. Do not use a gear puller to remove the electric PTO you will damage it. When up get the old friction disc off and reinstall your Electric PTO the arm on the PTO will be inside of the engine bracket. Use clevis pin to secure it.

Your gonna get yelled at by the guys for using calipers but hey we don't have mics. Yeah a little out but you were using calipers so your dims might be questionable. Did it smoke? What did the top of the piston look like... oil wash? Try Richard's trick.

The only thing it has on it is WH. No clue. I know it'll work great as project material @sqrlgtr

I have no problem quitting or starting back. I quit and started back at least 4 or 5 times last year.

That’s a looker Mike.

Could it be a couple “spring teeth” off something like this?

That is why I stopped looking at CL years ago. I don't do FB. Neither Trina or I have searched for a tractor since the first 3 back in 2016 & 17. We now have over 15 here and sold, given, traded that many more. ALL of them have "found us"...

Captain Sully was a featured speaker at a Quality Assurance conference I attended about a year before I retired. Very good speaker and very memorable presentation.

Plus it has Redheds

That's my thought, just have to mark and drill the mounting holes first, didn't trust the measure and drill method, not always true! Plus not like I'm going to go do fields all summer...sqrlgtr

@ebinmaine You should check the alignment of the spindle to the table so you can adjust that before mounting vises. To do that, mount a dial indicator in the drill chuck and swing a large circle on the table. Side to side is likely adjustable but front to back might take shims or machining to get it right. Some call that traming. I’m sure you can find videos on YouTube and a few of them might be correct.

Great and not so great ... call in sick to work and go get it today. Before it's scooped up by a mud mower Boss finds out you ain't really sick I'll drop a dime on him...

Still lifting, still trying to be healthy. Tuesday, I received my 8 gallon pin donating blood. I donate often enough, that being on a regular schedule they say I am 1 day off of eligibility and have to wait until the next 8 week visit from the blood center. So it’s been 24 weeks now, but I’ll be back in another 16 weeks. Since I donate double reds, it takes twice as long for me to be able to donate. This morning, I lifted 360 lbs!

The lever is symmetrical so you can turn it around. Would that help?
