Happy birthday! Thank you for all you guys contribute

Got the transaxle case back together on my C-120, after changing out the differential assy. Of course, that's when I realized that the only oil I have on hand is all 30W Anybody need a good diff with trashed axles? Or, does anyone have any good "repurposing" ideas? I suppose I could get a forge and make a few swords.

I looked a little bit for the work your horse thread but failed ... my penance is reading all upmteen pages of this one ... As long as we're wrenching on sno machines. This one in the shop for oil & filter. Is it just me or does a motor just seem to run better with fresh oil? Should have cleaned the carb ... surging abit and seafoam aint workin. Need it tho so after today's cleanup. Grass screen was rusty ... I think they look cool in red ... Do I have a problem?

I always seem to have my eyes open for good tires/rims for my tractors. It can be a bit of a pain measuring accurately. Most rims have a deeper offset that Wheel Horse has (at least on the models I have). I carry this little board in my truck for whenever the need arises. Measured from the correct spot or not at lease I knew if they'd fit.

You two love birds have a great day. Keep those WH's primed up !!

Heres a set painted in the summer

Weights are copies of the weights shipped here, a friend of ours Shaun made moulds for all the weights and then had a ton of them cast from the old brake discs and drums he's stockpiled for years. They do look really good!

I looked at mine, and swore at it for a bit because the side panel wont go back on. Then went back inside.

Agreed 100%

Every one makes mistakes. Good people own up to them and do all that they can to correct the mistake. Great people try to help correct a mistake that was not even their fault.

Added a lift assist spring for snowblower on the 702. Made it definitely easier to raise up. With my lower back issues I need any help I can.

Happy Birthday Bear....

Nobel Prize Day is celebrated each year on December first. Celebrating excellence in diverse fields, the Nobel Prize recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to humanity's progress. One of the highest honors that can be earned in various forms of science and other admirable work, the Nobel Prize is awarded annually on Nobel Prize Day. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded on December 10, 1901, which was the fifth anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel. Nobel was a Swedish scientist, inventor and businessman who was also passionate about writing drama and poetry. He is particularly notable as the inventor of dynamite and other high explosives, and held more than 350 patents in his lifetime. When Alfred Nobel wrote his will in 1895, it established that prizes would be awarded each year to commemorate and honor those who made significant achievements in the areas of science, medicine, literature and peace. Most of his fortune was left to this cause and, although no official reason was given for the motivation behind the prizes, many have guessed it was his guilt over being the person who invented such destructive weapons that made him want to start the endeavor. Now, for more than a century, Nobel Prizes have been awarded each year on Nobel Prize Day in Stockholm, Sweden, where Alfred Nobel was born and where he spent a large portion of his adult life.

Look what I found in mail today. New decal for HY2 lift lever on 1257. Cant wait to see what it looks like on tractor. How lucky are we to have a member like @Vinylguy as a member here?????

Terry did these custom decals for Marvin years ago.

Had a few inches last week. Schools canceled because of the timing. Grand kids showed up and rode sleds for hours! Plus a snowman and ate like linebackers. I like it! The view from the WH shed down the double diamond.

Aside from my time in the Army, I've lived my whole life in NC. When I was younger, you learned how to drive in the snow and just did it. It didn't matter if your vehicle was rear wheel drive only. You just used your hat holder the way it was intended. Maybe after a day or two a plow truck (or your local farmers) would clear the roads. But we did well regardless. Years later, the brine trucks started running. Melted all the snow, which re-froze at night and created a two lane ice sheet. Wrecks everywhere. Someone will have to help me understand why such things are better...

Is that called an F plate because one might look under the tractor and say “The F in plate is cracked?”

Our roads are still covered with a dusting(of brine, not snow) from last weeks forecast of a possible dusting of snow. Can't wait till spring when the 12 million gallon of Pa brine gets washed down the river to the Chesapeake Bay. The increased salinity should bring the rock fish and crabs up to my end of the Bay. Maybe I can sell enough crabs to replace a couple rusted up vehicles.

Many happy returns old boy, best of British to you. Mick

I also agree. My tractors would look naked without Terry's great decals.

Happy Birthday Eric !!

When they start to swear back then it's definitely time to go back inside.

Yes sir! I think before I moved here the city (Raleigh) completely dropped the ball on an actual 100 year snow event. Since then it seems they have shot way past what is necessary. Ground temp is well above freezing, it has been pretty wet for a NC winter and they still brine and salt. I went outside to start my car. Cold for here, back deck was an ice sheet. yard dusted. Driveway was clear, roads clear, overpasses clear. ALL roads looked like there was a snow event. No sir! Just excessive salt and brine. As previously stated... great for me, on the road virtually alone. Super stress free. All (snow) gone by 10 am.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁!

Yes, X2!

Yeah, There's that too. I was thinking of the words that come out as your shoveling. Don't eat the yellow snow...

awesome thanks just put my order in

I've only ever seen it in two colors.

Today, I looked at them does that count?

Changed out the TU pulley on Frankie. I has a few of these plastic ones. JD uses them and my son has a 324 that has them on the hydro pulley. I know he has to be pushing 500 hours with no issues. I put one on the hydro and I must say they are smooth. Very smooth. Now I know why they are used by JD.

I think its 5025, at least that's what our tranny model list thing says.

5-6" here. Wet snow. 4:45 am cleared three drives before work... used the Dewalt blower so's not to wake up the old ladies... quiet as a mouse and, since it's not red, done under the cover of darkness with no pictures... Besides - I had to get it done so I could get inside and wish @ebinmaine a happy birthday...

What in the fresh #$*@ is this? Gone once the sun peeked out, roads clear. Stuff still shutdown or delayed. Watch the forecast. If we get over an inch, grab a buddy or two, a sixer and head over with a sharpened stick. You could take over the entire state.

Happy Birthday! Take the day off and chop some wood!

I rarely shovel. Around here either it's enough to plow and I love it, or not enough to worry about On the rare occasion it falls in between my kids are old enough to go do the shoveling for me.

Are they PAR36 ? Just installed these on a 416 and 315 - 100% better and brighter

Yes

Here ya' go.

The blower has the steel wheels instead of skids. I did adjust spring so snowblower isn't bouncing around when down but yet its definitely lighter on the wheels. I'm sure I'll maybe need to adjust it some????

May help the blower to float and reduce wear on the skids as well.

Another vote for pulling the deck. Good way to inspect the frame at the transmission mount, or “f plate” as well.

I only have two Eatons but several Sunstrands. I think the piston to piston Sunstrands are more sensitive to abuse/poor maintenance. The Eatons require some warm up to operate the lift even with Mobil one synthetic. The sunstrands are ready to go immediately I run ATF in them. Keep them from overheating, don't abuse the parking brake in the Sunstrands, and change the fluid and they will run another 30 years...

All depends on how they were used or abused. If well maintained the Sundstrand and Eaton 1100 will continue to operate for several more decades.

I got several things I need to get finished, but my Bronco has been marking it's territory in my garage. One axle seal was leaking quite a bit, and I had not seen it because of how it was previously parked. Guess I should get it out more, right? As is usually the case, a leaky axle seal left alone long enough made the hub removal super easy. Didn't even need my puller for it (lucky since I couldn't find the darn thing). Anyway the hub came right off with some wiggles. Made a couple small dings in the metal face of the new seals because it was crazy tight but it shouldn't affect it. The axle and bearing seems fine. A couple hours after and no leaks yet. I'll try to get it out over the holidays and see for sure, but so far so good.

Motion control cam assembly ready to install. Foot control auto center bearing is already installed. See Matt's foot control instructions on this. Motion cam control greased where Cam bearing rides. Motion cam bearing installed. Foot control cam pivot lever bolted to control cam. Lower bolt is permanent, upper bolt is temporary until motion control rod gets installed later. Nyliner bushings installed into control cam. Motion control cam pivot rod partly installed. Motion control cam pivot rod installed through control cam nyliner bushings then bolted into place. Motion control cam pivot rod left E clip installed. Motion cam then slid over to the E clip. Motion control cam pivot rod right E clip installed. Foot control auto center lever lines up with motion control cam auto center bearing perfectly. Motion control cam assembly installed.

Hydro speed control cam plate assembly ready to install. This machine will have foot control so no tension washers are needed. Instead, I punched out some Teflon washers so cam plate will pivot freely. Hydro speed control cam plate spacers installed onto studs. Hydro speed control cam plate lower washers installed. Hydro speed control cam plate sat into place. Hydro speed control cam plate bushing greased and ready to install. I also put a little never seize on the studs. Hydro speed control cam plate upper washers and bushing installed. Hydro speed control cam plate locknuts installed. Nut on bushing stud was firmly tightened. Nut on washers was just turned in until there was little to no free play but the plate will pivot side to side freely. Hydro speed control eccentric cam ready to be installed. Hydro speed control eccentric cam installed and rotated so large side faces the long slot on the cam plate as per the manual. Bolt tightened. You will need a 1" and a 1/2" wrench to do this. Tractor overview as of today.

I can see your logic but I still wouldn't try to remove that. You might be better off to just keep that where it is and use it as your beginning point. If you want to put a Gravely Muffler under the hood, you're going to need to construct some piping of some sort. I've used them on several tractors and I always leave them out from underneath. I don't like having that amount of heat next to the fuel pump or carburetor.
