July 23, 1996, at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, the U.S. women’s gymnastics team wins its first-ever team gold. The 1996 U.S. women’s team, nicknamed the “Mag 7″ or “magnificent seven,” was made up of seven immensely talented teenaged girls: Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps and Kerri Strug. The team entered the Summer Olympics with the expectations of an entire country heaped on their young shoulders. They were considered America’s best shot ever at an Olympic team gold, something no American women’s gymnastics team had ever won. The American women’s best finish to that point had been a silver at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Made a couple mods to the Wheel Horse tiller. The front cover plate was missing, so I scrounger a piece of steel from an old real estate sign with the intension of sanding it and using the red primer method of creating a matching patina. When I got it installed, I just couldn't sand off the eagle. The tiller was only 22 inches wide, so I added two pairs of tines to each side to make it as wide as the rear tires.

No clutch plate on that. Drive belt could be slipping or it could be an axle hub which could be damaging the axle so you'll need to narrow down where the slippage is. Most likely a worn drive belt. Look to see if the pulley on the transaxle is turning when it happens. If that pulley isn't turning, it's the belt. If it's turning, look to see if one of the axles is spinning in the wheel hub.

Not a directly behind pic but close enough for guberment work.

Big trash night score tonight... Picked up down the street with the A-60 and the trailer... Owner says ran when parked... we'll see. Motor spins freely.

Snapped this cool picture today! 1445 Auto, Allis Chalmers WD45, and 57 Pontiac Star Chief I call it “Generational Wealth”

Likely just a spare as I have a dedicated mowing 520H (with a 16 Onan on it), my 520HC is the snow plow tractor, and another 520H is set up for the two stage blower. I have 10 tractors now with most of them restored (my wife thinks I'm crazy).

I worked the Troy-bilt assembly line, on Both the Horse and Pony models back in early 80s. Troy-bilt was a good company till MTD bought them out and they moved out of Troy N.Y. The guy who makes DR mowers first worked at Troy-bilt then moved on to start his own business.

Could be said by nearly all of us. In short sir, you are not alone!

Worst piece of wood I ever tried to finish It was constantly fuzzy trying to sand it and possibly contaminated veith oil or Cosmoline. I used gel stain on it but it looked too much like paint . I used Danish oil on it and that made it some better but still not great. Finally after a couple of coats dried in I applied more and used 800 grit to take off the high and fill in the low. At least it's reasonably smooth and is sealing up well. Wood like this stains like a photo negative with the grain light and the field dark. Chinese Sks stock .

Wiener mobile!!! This is one of the trucks I've piloted recently. We're taking some old scrap metal racks to recycling.

Just found this thread so here’s some. Mostly sunsets.

Had a few out for some fresh air today.

I front mount mowed (my first time mowing with a hydrostatic Wheel Horse!) and cultivated the food plot area.

Yes. the one on the right will work. You will also need the axle bracket to mount the plow.

You need the one on the right. Here is a list of them. You also need the correct rear axle brackets.

a little past sunrise.

It’s OFFICIAL, @ebinmaine gets the award for “Sunrise with the most power lines in it” Congratulations Eric!👍🏻Good job 👍🏻😂😂

You know when Cleat ties into a tractor it's done right!

I dragged this machine home last summer and figured I might as well begin work on it. This is what I am starting with. It had no carb so I got a cheap china carb for it and it will start by jumping the solenoid as the wiring has issues. Hydro seems strong and engine runs quiet and as smooth as a single cylinder can.

Wide rear of a 1974 C160-8 with OTR Lawn Trac tires and a bonus super old seed spreader. Sneak peak of a @76c12091520h trailer hitch too!

Just realizing I’m the last one who posted a picture, basically the same.

Fixed it for you.

Well, I found out why the tractor needed the solenoid jumped to start it. The battery connection terminal on the ignition switch is corroded completely. Here is the old connector for the ignition switch. New connector installed. The other connectors are in decent shape and will easily clean up. Since the indicator board is completely corroded as well, I decided to simply eliminate it and all it's associated wiring in the harness. I also eliminated the seat switch and associated relays etc. The neutral switch is gone as well since I will be installing a self centering foot control. Here is the harness as pulled. Here is the harness cleaned up and simplified. Here is the harness ready to be installed. I hooked it up to a battery and plugged in a new ignition switch, low oil relay, PTO switch, and 2 new fuses and tested all functions. Everything works perfectly including grounding the magneto for shutdown (yes, I do have the correct magneto ignition switch).

Tractor is mostly torn apart. Frame, engine and rear end have preliminary degreasing done. Don't mind the yellow wheels, they are just for moving the tractor around. Wagon load of parts. These are all cleaned up and ready for bead blasting and/or sanding.

Yep. The best ways would be to post in the wanted section https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/ or contact one of the vendors on this site https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/92-vendors/ like K&B or A-Z. BTW... to the site fellow North Carolinian!!

Excellent work on the wiring harness, Cleat. I like the way you do things. I made up a bunch of harnesses in my shop wiring local agency police cars for emergency lights and radios. Later I worked 13 years for Virginia State Police doing the same thing. I must have used miles of electrical tape and nylon conduit. I always used the best grade wire and high temp conduit in my shop, due to the customer use (and abuse).

You are in wheel Horse Mecca. Lots members there. I am sure you can find some one close by to help.

What does the friction disk (the plate the thing you posted pushes against) look like? Burned belts usual mean drag in teh deck or the mule drive

Actually it’s a cool story. Pics of the truck?

Couple pics of the 1973 8 HP 4 speed we've been working on with its owner @Natejc_98 Should be ready for a test drive!

Several years ago I was given a set of new take-off rear lamps from an IHC tractor chassis that was being built into a dump truck. These would have bolted to the frame (inside or outside of) depending on the customer's intentions of use. The dump chassis specs didn't fit the usage so these were removed. Today I used online search info to determine the most likely ground wire color and tested the units. All good. Notated the wires. I'm hoping to keep the original Ford factory wiring harness in place. This Tekonsha plug in adapter should get me the connections I need so I can splice the aftermarket lights in. Also found a 7 way plug and trailer brake controller in the parts box. I need to confirm that the 7 way is the correct style.

Went outside to dream. Can’t wait to get this building done.

This evening we finished cleaning the cable ends. I built a new positive cable from solenoid to starter. Degreased the starter and engine block where the cables attach. Installed a NOS Cole Hersee solenoid from my parts department. Added a new battery hold down. Used a primer bulb to dump a little gasoline into the carburetor bowl through the upper vent. At that point the ole beast started right up.... and the alternator started smoking. No worries there. I knew that was a high probability. I have a new HD alternator set aside with a new wiring harness. The truck is setting in the front yard waiting to be towed to the repair shop tomorrow.

I'll have more pics later..... The Trina person and her momma and me and a friend of ours spent another wonderful weekend at Moose Brook State Park in Gorham NH. Woods walking. Mountain biking. Campfire in the 1930s CCC chimney. We highly recommend that particular park. Trina's mom stayed in the camper. We used our tent.

Between painting The fence and porch trim and hauling garden dirt I managed to get the lawn mowed with the C-160.

I made this video on a hot day when I was leaving in 2017

OK, fixed it for you.

All cleaned out. Next step is to pull the whole thing backwards a few feet for better front half access and get the rollers out. Reinstall the air cleaner and try to start it.

Took the dogs, and the kids, for a nice walk. It's about 3 miles round trip.

Just one question @ebinmaine BBT doesn't read your posts for inspirational ideas on the home front does she? Asking for a friend...

Good for lots of other things. I bought one a few years ago to use on fuel tank bolts, but I use it a lot if I don't want to drag out the big torch, or to brand mis-behaving co-workers.

@ebinmaine couldn't help but notice the heat induction coils in the above pics, I recently got this one the other day and I'm really impressed with it. Used it today to heat WH hitch up that was bent downward toward the ground and straightened it back out with a big hammer after heating it up, worked great.

Tonight the boy and I went over to his girlfriend's house. Their tiller needs some work, so I picked that up to bring home, said boy is going to be doing the work. It's just a simple fuel line replacement, may need to clean the carb, don't know yet, and I'll have him go over all the grease zerks. Her (the GF) mom also asked me to sharpen the blades on their JD, that was bought used at the end of last season, because it's been cutting like crap. I jacked it up and found three new blades that were installed upside down, so the blunt end was doing the cutting. Flipped them over and that was that.

Had double few years back. Not at all enjoyable. Good luck with your recovery!

Got a hernia surgery It sucks can tell yea that. All's I wanna do is go outside and ride on the tractor

Part of my job is picking up credit after the work is done. We take pictures of pretty much everything that we do. I showed up here. Park across the street. Nothing unusual. Started filling out the paperwork and I looked over to the pallets that I was about to go fetch and I see this.... Guard cat??!?

Well now...
