September 1, 1972 American chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer defeats Russian champion Boris Spassky 12.5-8.5 in Reykjavik, Iceland, in the most publicized world title match ever played; Fischer becomes the first American to win the title.

Today I got the group out took the deck off the 308 and pressure washed and armor alled them in preparation for the get together. the 308 was having an issue so I ended up pushing it back to it's spot. It's probably gas I need to get gas before I go.

Though we do love our Wheel Horses most of us love seeing any rusty old relic brought back to life. Please share your journey with us. This YouTuber may be your best resource but we would be glad to add our as you go along. A Koehler engine is a Koehler engine no matter it is on, steering is steering, transmissions are transmissions, hydraulics are hydraulics, and we can learn from one another right along with you.

I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She told me, "Nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace." So, I'm going to get her nothing.

Did the same with my 48. I love how much better it distributes clippings. I've been using it for a few months now and I really like it.

I didn't see this when I replied earlier about the 2 piece manifold . Mine was easy to diagnose because when I removed manifold then took carb off to rebuild the manifold came apart in my hands.

If a cow laughed really hard.... would milk come out of her nose? Why did the cow jump over the moon? The farmer had cold hands.

@Ed Kennell, get your finger out of there, you are making me nervous!

Here is the one I had a few years ago:

The 100 and the 70, in my opinion, were the best looking Cub Cadets. And they were a big improvement over the Cub Cadet Original, as they weren't so low and eliminated the small belt in the driveline.

On my 520H it was the 2 piece intake manifold. It was leaking where it goes together causing it to suck air and would surge. You have to take manifold off to fix right, not too bad of a job but isn't to fun either. May as well decarb, adjust valves, etc etc. why you have it tore apart that far also.

I upgraded the wheels and tires, 30 x 10 -12 Interforce AGs on the rear and 4.00-12 tri-ribs on steel wheels and 4 bolt cast iron hubs on the front

Got the hood painted up today for the C120. Now that my Simplicity mower has brakes I can take the C120 out of service and pull the rest of the sheet metal. Hopefully all the tin will be painted before temps drop.

We changed the brake pads and rotors on my nephew's truck and my van last weekend. What to do with those old rotors? Well, since they fit perfectly on a 12" rim we made some inside/outside wheel weights out of them. Outside Inside

I know I’m not the only one around here that finds it kind of amazing how perfectly good re-purposable stuff goes off to the scrapyard for pennies a pound or simply thrown in the trash. I made a great back yard fire pot by bolting together a pair of brake drums that came off a semi my friendly local alignment shop gave me for next to nothing. I topped it off with a recycled grill and now it is one. It’s pretty impressive for a piece of junk if I do say so myself. It’s hurricane proof in any case! Lolz

Happy Birthday @Buckeyes, we are glad you were born.

Happy Happy Buckeyes

Happy Birthday

Have a Great Day

Yea the correct spring that goes from the linkage to the trans will be here tonight so after I swap them as long as the rain calms down ill test it and report back.

HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY

Ok so I have the same belt you have, so I know the belt size is okay. I also found a spring that goes from the actual clutch pedal and attaches behind the dashboard. I assume that was someone's backyard fix to the blown out strut on the clutch. I have a new correct spring clutch coming in from Wheelhorse parts and more today, so ill install that and remove this other spring that is circled in the attached photo.

What new crop did the farmer plant? Beets me!

You cleaned the carb 5 times to stop the surging and it ran smooth. I suspect a speck of dirt found its way to the carb again. Replace all old fuel lines and clean the carb again.

TSC 5/8 X 82 Aramid blue belt works great on my 310-8. Mine does have the clutch damper cylinder on the idler pulley, but I'm not sure the damper does anything as I can feel and feather the clutch with my foot.

I guess I just don't give my work enough credit and would rather the original or repop I mean I do plan to round the edges but it's not very thick. 1/8 flat stock with another small patch of left over peice down the spine in hopes it will make it rigid enough. I also know what I put my old 414-8 threw and I snapped your standard bolts easy. Then when I went to grade 8 bolts I started bending and wallering out the holes and bending lift arm and plow bracket pretty bad. To be far I was young but cleared a solid acre or acre and a half of rough land hill sides.

Thank you @ebinmaine. I'm pretty sure it's the Terramite. I bought it and am really looking forward to the project. Was hell getting it on the trailer and getting it home. I've got tons of questions but maybe I'm in the wrong forum now. Let me know if you want more picks/information. Just found a youtube series at: https://www.youtube.com/@aamcmuseum/videos

Five or six is enough

I'm pretty sure it's the Terramite. Yep, I bought it. Thanks

That is a cool looking engine, if it's got enough horsepower for the little tractor. I'll see what I can do to identify those engines. Here is the shifter: locking collar is missing. Got the PC7 ordered to fix the cracks in the steering wheel and the hunt for the steering bevel gear continues. Thinking to just save the patina. Maybe, I'll coat it with Penetrol our something to stop it from rusting. Thanks for the help and encouragement. A little cooler weather and I'll get it out in the sun. Thinking I'll call this little tractor C.B. in honor of my wife's grandfather. He's the one who found it on the scrap pile years ago and told me to save it. Dave

I had a Cub 100 way back in 89

I replace mine with these. Still the same 9 pin but better sealed. Never had an issue with these. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/130984528895?_skw=9+Way+Sealed+Splash+Proof+Mate+N+Lok+Electrical+Wiring+Multi+Connector&itmmeta=01M1E8XPVRR30FBC63P7NN1AWN&hash=item1e7f494bff:g:obkAAOSwHUhZ9zsO&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAABAGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xBFckF4xCQsfHMXWf6Z0COGyJzdUsd9P2EgTVb4pqLNd9xOFTCbfCCDrovq2iDeaCAgnxf0xqWJmqPZAjN6w0%2B4IfIx3eveikffGpL%2BUiPjKGjfWXFmNHFvxLod3q1N2xbSXXJc4jR49KUe5RCL0GTgXbpHSvSyLklhTR5i1%2FumFY2ICnozFIMqGea3HHD5rx7QFzyCbcm8aD7U1oFPo9onA%2BINFGW55WLvujQDsMKLtiLxZxKRJtI2VyysLaMObBAYiVsvcspIhDeBHnjv1%2F%2BsDNfoSrFQ%2B5%2FCKeiuZwwSwBfmMmrF6y7sbdnnMcGx2Sk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4Lu9siLaA

That is not bad price in today’s market.

Not at all. As I said, they operated with just the spring for decades with no problems.

Removing the heads to de-carbon the components is a required routine maintainence task. It also gives you an opportunity to visualy check the condition of the valves & seats, the walls & pistons for wear and deterioration. Well worth the peace of mind.

here is where i am at. I took the 73 12 hp 8 speed apart it had a lot of good parts that i could use. when i took apart the 8 speed transaxle it did have a 10 pinion differantial. I ordered a left gear case on ebay and it has arrived. the 8 speed also had a couple of good ball bearings that i can use. As soon as i can get caught up on other projects i can work on getting this transaxle back together and hopefully get it back on the 1276 this fall between grass and snow.

Got the modified bracket mounted with mostly new bolts. New high powered alternator in. The belt even fits after the changeover! Next is to make and install the new alternator wiring harness.

Just got back from the local Maverick gas station. Bought 4 gallons of ethanol free for $5.79 a gallon.

Sure would be cool if these were'nt fake AI bullcrêpe.. excuse my French. Don't fall for it guys, if something looks too good to be true it probably is.

my track record can’t afford that many new hoods

Update: So, I got very lucky and was able use one of our loaner tractors at work for this project. So I started by going dig out the 4 ft bush hog he had out of the brush and trees. I then took it home and greased it, confirmed the gearbox has oil in it and the blades weren't to horrible. I think went to mowing. I'm very happy i ended up using this rig over my poor horse as the growth was super tall in some areas. Like 7 foot tall weeds in places. it was insane! I think use the other horse with my hauler to bring over the string trimmer, some help, and get to work trimming around the barn. I wrapped everything up with the C140 mowing the bank once again and then the field which was already mowed. All worked find and nothing really to report for breaks. One of the baffles in the old deck got bent so I had to pound it back into place. The blades are keeping there edge well, even after some rocks got wacked. Overall I'm pleased the project as a whole and I will be in way better shape for next season as it will never get that long again on my watch.

I’d kind of rather buy a $100 Wheel Horse and play with that…

@Retired Wrencher glad you are trying something ? my stand by generator , sits for months , with instant starts , my reference to fuel line replace ment , was after I cleaned out entire set up , verifying a fresh clean start, your star tron / my sta bil , do the same thing, most important proof ? zero / no debris / fuel hose break down at all . when I go at any problem , go after EVERY STAGE , NOT JUST THE MOST OBVIOUS , EX ? frayed belts , WHY? its not the belt , its , INCREMENTAL BEARING LUBRICATION FAILURE , the bearing hangs up / stops for a second , that led me to , cleaning out and regreasing , every wide seal bearing , with https://www.landmsupply.com/lucas-oil-x-tra-heavy-duty-grease-14-5-oz?g, all my decks , pto / mule drive , engage / spin up with total ease. , BTH that pto lever set up is a gold mine , for improvement , pete

What kind of pigs know karate? Pork chops!

Got this text from @Stepney this morning. I can honestly say I don't know anyone who knows more about various tractor and equipment models over the years. He's thinking it's a Terramite.

Here is how the chute was trimmed. I can say that it discharged cuttings well running on a c-160 but I never tested it on anything like @sgtsampay

Guten Tag Dirk and to the All good advice above. One other possibility is the lever on the left side of the clutch cross shaft. It is fastened to the cross shaft with a 1/8" roll pin that may have sheared allowing it to slip on the shaft. To be able to check it, you must remove the left side panel. Then scribe a line across the end of the shaft and the lever. Then operate the clutch pedal and note if the lines move.

The clutch on your tractor is a pulley with spring tension against the belt . When you step on the clutch it pulls the pulley away from the belt. Check your drive belt for wear, check your tension spring, and also check you engine and transmission pulley set screws & keys. My first guess though would be that your drive belt is wore / stretched and needs replacing.
