I don’t actually know when I’ll have these in my possession, but these were about 6 miles from the plow day I attended last weekend. I saw them on FB marketplace and sent a message asking if I could pay for them and have a friend pick them up. When he responded, he said I was first in line and the only person who had not asked a bazillion questions. I paid the man with Venmo, and he set them next to his trash bin near the end of his driveway. Risky I thought, but Adam got them for me! He threatened that they may turn purple and be on his daughter Angela’s tractor by the time I see them, and I told him they will likely stay whatever color he makes them and I’ll run em anyway if that’s the case!

November 4, 1990, Dances with Wolves, a film about an American Civil War-era soldier and a group of Sioux Native Americans that stars Kevin Costner and also marks his directorial debut, premieres in Los Angeles. The film was a surprise box-office success and earned 12 Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor for Costner. Dances with Wolves took home seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, and solidified Costner’s place on Hollywood’s A-list.

Half inch NPT should screw right on. Adjustable volume, course, fine, and pulsing exhaust....what's not to like?

A fine day to plow leaves!

That lever on the left is used to lift the deck for transporting. When pulled back and latched, it should lift the deck up till the rubber bumpers on the deck frame contact the tractor floorboards for stable quiet transporting. That lever operates a rock shaft that is connected by a chain to the deck lift arm shown here and in the pictures above. The rod on this lift arm should be in the deck slot as shown below. This lift arm is connected at the rear of the frame in two bushings make sure it is properly connected to the deck and the rear of the tractor.. If everything is connected properly, you probably just need to shorten the chain between the rock shaft and the lift lever.

I finally had time to get my bow into the shop for inspection. The owner told me to go deburr the cam edges and shoot it. It’s not damaged, just a little roughed up. There’s something to be said about a shop owner who turns down a potential sale for no reason. I bought $23 worth of merchandise as a thanks, and am heading to the tree stand!

Ah, Pete - but will it work on a 702???

Gave my 520xi that I got a few months ago its first workout. Went through a tank of gas vacuuming leaves. Was a little worried as the PO didn’t use the deck and it was stored outside. Plus with the new belts, there was a slight rubber smell when I was just making sure everything worked. But one tank under the belt with no issues. Now to repeat 2 or 3 more times until all the leaves are down.

Heavy metal

The Bolens weights usually have the name Bolens embossed in the casting, like this photo I pulled from Google. I used JB Weld to fill it in, on these Bolens weights to make them generic. @Pullstart's look similar to these Simplicity weights. If you zoom in, there appears to be a part number.

Me: It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up. Cop: That's not how field sobriety tests work..?

Years ago I was curious about the operation of a bulldozer. As I looked around I noticed there was only one lever and no steering wheel. Pointing to the lever I asked what is this leaver, my uncles prompt response was "Lev-Er-Alone!" What do you call a sleeping bull? "A BULL-DOZER"

If you can not sleep at night, it is usually because you are awake. I hope this helps. If I am sent to jail my wife will get me out. She never lets me finish a sentence. Doing nothing is extremely difficult, you never know when you are done. A dentist will say “You are brushing wrong.” A nutritionist will say “You are eating wrong.” Parents will say “You are living wrong.” Your bartender will say “Excellent choice sir.” There is a new movie out about a snowman who became a vampire. It is called “Frost bite”. My son asked “Why do birds fly?” I replied “Because it is faster than walking…” used to think I was indecisive but now I am not so sure.. My vacuum cleaner broke, now it just sits there collecting dust. I attempted to organize a game of “hide and seek” but good players are hard to find. You can never trust stairs because they are always up to something. I told my wife “For the past 50 years all you have done is found mistakes in every thing I say.” She replied “That is 55 years dear.”

Slowly getting the C-145 into snowplow mode. Tonight I got the stud kit and inside weights mounted. Also installed the F-Plate braces that I got from @ri702bill. Next will be the outside weights, axle bracket and finally the 48” 5 sector plow.

It was at one time. I've seen me in action.

my wife sent me to home depot for a shower head that she had specked out , said it had a terrific rating and was on sale , KOHLER FORTE # 317603 , 24$ , especially love the extensive shower head aeration , to the extent of reducing steam in the shower , very large soft drops , easily adjusted into perfect spray zone , easily worth a look , pete

Burning rubber, or just rubber? Easy checks (with the engine off, of course): 1) make sure the belt isn’t rubbing somewhere it shouldn’t--bracket, cover, etc.--by moving the belt by hand. 2) make sure both front mule pulleys are spinning freely without wobble. A harder check is to test each blade’s spindle for resistance, crunchy noises, wobble, and so forth. This is best done with the deck belt removed so each spindle can be tested alone.

Nobody can complain about tractor pics that nice!

Son: "Dad, can I get $20?" Dad: "Does it look like I make dollars all day?" Son: "Well, isn't that what D.A.D stands for?"

Looks like you have a 42" RD deck. Download the manuals for operating instructions .Mower Rotary 42in RD 1990 05-42RY01 OM TIPL SN.pdf - Mower decks & reel - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum

Large rocks.

I struggle with videos with my phone. What the heck is HEVC???? I finally got YouTube to do it's thing and hopefully it will work here. This is the first start up. Spark good, fuel to carb good (currently using a cheapo thumpy thump electric pump) and wiring checks out. It actually surprised me how fast it started. I had fogged the engine a while back and it didn't smoke as much as I thought is would at first start. It didn't care for the base carb settings but I got it to smooth out some. Still needs some tweaking. Took a mini cruise through the first woods just cuz. I used the battery from my 05 and found out it's 5 years old. I was going to park Dino for the winter and put the battery back in the 05 but I'm just going to leave it in Dino and buy a new one. I still have some odds and ends to do I'm waiting on some crimp lugs to redo the battery cables, I may repaint the fender pan. Something got on it and it feels more like sandpaper. I've got a good electric fuel pump on the shelf but I'll just leave the thumper on it until it quits. There seems to be some noises that are more obvious on the video than from the seat. I'll be chasing those down. Hopefully it's nothing internal. https://youtu.be/e1FIVKRNTlM

And 1/10th the price!!!

Mr. Jay did not feel the need to be addressed as Mr, but I made sure Rylee knew he was Mr. Jay. And Miss Janie is Miss Janie. Such huge hearts, and sweet souls. And like his Cab keeping Ed Dog warm, his weld wire is still holding Mrs. P’s exhaust stack steady. ❤️

We miss you Jay, for those who didn't know him let me just say that @roadapples was one of the easiest people to get to know and hardest to forget.

Like these Sears weights Eric, pretty much same weight but with a smaller center hole.

There is an adjustment knob next to the lift lever that controls how far down the deck can go. If you turn the knob so all the threads are gone and then attach the chain so there is a little slack it will be better.

Check out this thread by @cleat.

Now if there was just a way to resize them on here so they don't take up the whole page. @Racinbob nice looking machine!

Good work, on the tractor, and YouTube! There is a small delay in the RedSquare app, when posting a video. I copy the YT link, then paste it here, then hit the space, and wait. It will automatically embed the video into the post for you.

Okay, okay I know it’s not Saturday so please forgive me! Yesterday I had to move a few tractors to get my Peco vacuum trailer out, so I figured I’d take a few pictures for you boys!

@ebinmaine Couple pics from tonight (yes I posted these elsewhere on the forum)

Many years ago I was looking for a cab for my 520H w/tall chute blower. Browsing thru barns at the big show, I saw one piled in a corner. I asked a young guy how much? He said he would check with his brother, and I should stop back in an hour. I bought the cab, installed it on the 520 and several years later I had it displayed at the Fawn Grove Olde Tyme Days show. A tall lanky bearded guy walked up and asked me where I got the cab. It was Jay's cab and the guy I bought it from was Jay's brother Guy Meyers. That was the first of many hours and days spent with Jay and Guy at Fawn Grove, Dover, and the Arendtsville shows. Then after Jays passing, with Guys help found homes for Jays great collection of tractors and parts. Your cab is still keeping me warm Jay. Thank you for the cab and your friendship.

Yep, you got that right! He walked right up to me (a total stranger mind you) at the Wheel Horse Show years ago and said “Are you Sparky on RS?”…and then we talked for awhile like old friends catching up. We met up and chatted every year at the show like old friends. I’ll never forget him.

Like @953 nut said, start by backing this knob counterclockwise all the way. You may need to remove the little cap that is protecting the threads. If that doesn't allow the deck (height wheels) to rest completely on the ground, check underneath the tractor to see what is restricting the lift arm from @davem1111's photo Some people secure that lift arm in the up position (with zip-ties or wire) when they attach snowplow blades or blowers.

On our k301 and the one parts k321 we have it a small E-clip on the ends of the arm thingy. If i recall correctly its either 1/8 or 3/16 inch, I'm leaning more towards the 3/16 though

Don't remember if I posted this before or not. It's like 3 guys playing at the same time but it's only 1.

hello AKol56, i'm with ri702bill. IMO better to change shear pins or grade 2 bolts then tear apart the blower, especially during the winter.

Cool video Bob !! That horse looks fantastic and sounds good too !!

Woke up the snow horses and brought them down from the shed. Everybody started OK.

Halloween photo shoot with our whole herd. In order, 702, 1963 Lawn Ranger, 864, 754 Dually, 845 Custom, 875, 1967 Lawn Ranger Stanced, and 1257

If you had power on the coil and no spark next thing is points... Make sure they are opening and closing and clean them up...

That spec is a battery points ignition with a 15 amp Stator for charging. The regulator you have sitting loose is not the correct one.. The finned one mounted on the hoodstand is. Run a jumper from Battery+ to the + terminal on the coil crank it and see if you get spark,

When replacing the key switch, did you replace it with the correct one. There is a difference between a switch for a magneto ignition, and a battery ignition. However, you said you replace the ignition coil and the magneto coil. There can only be one or the other. A magneto system has no ignition coil and vice-versa. So lets try to figure out what you have. Do you have the ID number for the C-145? What is the year? Which engine does it have? Do you have the spec number from the engine? I'm sure we can get you going if we have the right info.

A wise old shark and a young shark were swimming near the shore when they spotted a couple of young swimmers. The young shark asked the older one if they should go right over and eat therm. The old shark said no, first we will circle around the with our fins barely above the water, then we will circle them again with our fins fully exposed, then we can eat them. The young shark asked why you would circle them twice like that. The older shark said they taste much better once you scare the sh** out of them.

Picked up a load of leaves chopped them into teeny tiny pieces, Then my neighbor tilled them into the garden.

I have attached pictures of my early swing gate cart. These were originally offered for rj-35’s in 1955-1957. this one has been repainted green and would have been originally red. My wheels show black paint underneath as well.
