5 pointsSeptember 18, 1983, Ten years after signing their first record deal, with their album sales flagging, '70s rock band Kiss shocks audiences by appearing live on MTV for the first time without their iconic face paint.

4 pointsThis picture shows piston wash. The clean area is from oil getting past the rings and washing the carbon off the top of the piston.

4 pointsMy brother worries me. Every time he drives by a dairy farm, he pulls over and leaves a few dollars on the fence. Doesn't he know cow tipping is illegal?

4 pointsAppreciation was not what I had for it in he moment. I was already rather annoyed because the rodent damage actually caused an electrical fire, and so in addition to everything else, and that harness not being easy to do, everything, including myself, was covered in flame retardant.

4 pointsThis if you plan on staying around and enjoy these ol tractors it is well worth the price of admission to become a supporter. You would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of 's then what's on here and all the W/H knowledge you want find anywhere else.

3 pointsI would think if all that oil was getting up past the rings the plug would have been fouled....
-
3 pointsAnd whilst you're in there look at the piston edge closest to the exhaust valve. I bet it's eaten away.
-
3 pointsThanks. This is what I would have guessed. I’m thinking that the next time I do an oil change I’ll tape the key to a checklist that I can review before trying to start the engine!
-
3 pointsTypically the order of flow through a pressurized oil system is pump, filter, crank bearings, cam bearings, lifters/valve train, and then back to the pan. If the engine was started, with oil in it, it would be EVERYWHERE.

2 pointsIf I happened onto a #22 that was badly worn, I’d be temped to experiment with other ways to revive it--perhaps drill out and insert bushing(s) at the upper and lower pivots? This is not uncommon in older automotive carbs.

2 pointsI've fired more than 1 vendor in my time. We had a chiller at the hospital that hadn't run right from the day I went back to work 4 years ago. Had the OEM service dept there over and over. I won't mention them by name but they haul a lot of goods on rails. Every time they came back it was thousands and thousands. I kept all of the invoices. It was close to $200 grand. When I decided to retire and it still wasn't fixed I called the district manager and said he needed to come down to my office. Showed him everything I had. It was finally fixed just before I left without any additional cost. sometime ya gotta be the bad guy or they will walk all over ya. Complaining about it to your neighbor ain't gonna fix it.

2 pointsA quick check for the upper throttle shaft play is to put a drop of oil on the depression around the shaft (right where @ebinmaine is pointing) while the engine is running. If the surging goes away and then returns when the oil is gone then air in-leakage around the shaft is your problem. The little brass washers from the hardware store could do the trick.

2 pointsWhere the top of the piston and combustion chamber has no carbon because of leaky rings. Dan skooled me this. @Achto got a pic??? I'm sure the Squonky @squonk has seen it.

2 pointsI think anything below about freezing temperature you should have it on there. And it shouldn't matter if it's ACR or not. The oil isn't going to mind one way or the other. It's about keeping things lubed up more appropriately. A slightly warmer oil will Lube the engine better and sooner.
-
2 pointsYes I bought one last year my self, for that K241 non ACR engine Eric. I think 30 and 20,s should be fine. After that I will use the block heater.
-
2 pointsI use a magnetic heater on my 1975 C160 Automatic. Definitely makes a huge difference. Also a lot less expensive than propane.
-
2 pointsNot a bad idea - especially for those of us who are getting older and wiser. Just tonght, I got the MF GC1720 loaded on the trailer. I shut off the fuel for transport and noticed that the charge light was on for the emergency trailer brake battery. Not knowing how much it will take to charge it from the truck battery, I unplugged the trailer from the truck. Got to remember to plug the trailer in before I leave in the morning. Should leave a note on the tractor key to turn the fuel back on, too.

2 pointsGotcha... actually it's pretty good... I'm thinking it's most likely just dirty... I'm noting improvements as I run it, so I'm thinking it's just a matter of time before I get to good... everything on this has been pretty dirty so far... so I'm just keeping up with cleaning as I go and we'll see...

2 pointsGreased all zerks. Boy was there some nasty black ooze coming out... Continued to work on surging issue... bit more carb cleaner, tweaking the adjustments, running it with good gas, some Seafoam, stabil... getting better. May dip it again...

2 pointsOriginal engine that's been bored with new piston, rod & crankshaft. Good (solid) functioning 42" deck no holes and snow blade. Starter/Generator still works fine. Needs front tires and a muffler. Front tires are original "Wheel Horse" tire and totally dry rotted. has both rear hitches. I do have the deck belt cover and headlight assy. Will fire up and drive onto a trailer. I've owned for about 45 years. Time to go. Priced to sell.

2 points1964 W/Horse model 1054A; I decided to let some of my tractors go. I believe I have everything for the 1054A, including extras. The one thing missing was the original 10hp Kohler with the starter/generator. It did have a later model 10hp Kohler. I pulled it and replaced it with an old 16hp Kohler I had (high hours, runs well) and I added a voltage regulator. Fuel tank is good. Hydraulic pump worked when I parked it. I think the wiring is original. Tractor has been in my storage barn many years. Fired right up to take pics. Included: “2 mower decks, one good deck & one rusty parts deck (no holes)”; “42inch snow blade”; “2 sets of rear tires & wheels”: “new replacement headlight lenses”; “new PTO clutch disc lining”; Both Kohler engines go with it and all the extra parts. Everything has been in dry storage since I got it. I'm pricing low to sell & clean out garage. Local pick-up only.

1 pointI keep hearing/seeing all of this talk about the potential dangers of “AI”, I keep listening but I’ve yet to hear any mention of “Terminator”, or “Arnie”, 😎 I’m waiting for a newscaster to say something like, “ Goodnight”, “I’ll be back”. 😂😂😂

1 pointI've finally gotten time to move the MF from our Mo. property to our Ky. property for some ditch work. I had replaced the missing screws on the temp gage. No longer reads high 'cause it always reads low, now. I gave the MF an oil change Wednesday and started giving the trailer that came with it a once over. Didn't plan very well here - first time using a new to me used trailer and it is on a 475 mile tow. Had to top off the hydraulic fluid - got a couple of leaky hoses. Not knowing exactly what is in there, I'll schedule a fluid change there in the near future as well. Anyhow, I spent half of yesterday and most of today looking the trailer over. The tires are old but look sound, the bearings are well greased, but 2 of them were a bit loose - easy to remedy. And suprise of suprises, all of the lights work. The electric brakes do too. On a test drive a few miles out of town and back, all looked OK. Unloaded, it tows easily with stability. When loading the tractor, I ended up with the landscape rake and the chain harrow at the front of the trailer under the FEL bucket. Two chains across the trailer with a binder on each one. Less than ideal. I will be adding two more chains and ratchet binders in the near future - I'll feel much better with that system. I don't much care for the lever binders. Best of all, that trailer is big enough to move EJ the 8n around. And a couple of my projects cars too.

1 pointWhen I was in the seventh or eighth grade (had the same teacher for both) we studied the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights and Constitutional Amendments (there were four less back then). Some of these lessons lasted all day but we LEARNED about them rather then gloss over them. Our teacher was a naturalize citizen from France who immigrated as a teen ager with his family shortly after World War Two. He had a deeper appreciation for these documents and the freedoms we enjoy than nearly anyone I have ever met. About twenty years later I had a young Mexican worker on the farm I was managing who more or less became my right hand man. He had gone through our public school system and wanted to become a US Citizen. I spent an hour or so with him after work most days and I attempted to pass along the enthusiasm that our teacher had for these formative documents. I have never felt such pride as the day I stood with him and his parents at his Naturalization Ceremony.
