Have since replaced the fuse holder with a weather tight one, as recommended by members here. Bob

Not a twin but this is where I put mine holes already there!

I feel your pain! I live 7 miles from town. I keep a fair supply of pvc,shark bites etc plumbing fitting. But, the universe has an unwritten rule that all plumbing projects must take a minimum of three trips to town for parts and those trips must go to multiple stores because everyone just sold their last fitting you need.

I hope they didn't say it ran when parked, as we know where it stopped.

On National Fortune Cookie Day, celebrated on July 20, we picture you enjoying a crunchy, sweet delicacy! Every year, Americans commemorate the cookie that is a staple of Chinese take-out. These crisp, folded biscuits have a buttery flavor to them. When you open them, you’ll discover a piece of paper with a message nestled inside. The phrase will range from profound wisdom to hard puzzles to basic common sense. Some fortunes incorporate quotations from well-known thinkers. Every year, about three billion fortune cookies are created and consumed by ecstatic admirers. It’s time for everyone to enjoy this great occasion, National Fortune Cookie Day!

Have a Great Day Jay

Yes, keep it as close to the tank and as low as possible. And replace the 30yo valve and clogged screen in the tank. And keep the tank full. The goal is to never allow the pump to run dry. If you run out of fuel, the engine will stop, but the fuel pump will continue to run, overheat and die.

As long as it's located below the tank fuel will gravity feed to the inlet.

I mean it was just in my heart to save It from that field!! Who wouldn’t??!! And for a $100!!

The seller did!I don’t know why it was parked, unless it lost a. Fuel pump while the engine was running. The seller said you could still get parts for them… i wonder why he didn’t fix it?

My '47 sedan delivery has wood framing to attach the inside wall paneling to. The back door jamb is wood (and wrapped in metal) that the hinges attach to. The floor was plywood. It's definitely not a Woodie but still has wood components. I heard a joke about a Woodie some time ago. A fellow bought a new one and some later the dealer asked what he thought of his new vehicle. The owner said "It sure looked better before I removed it from the wooden shipping crate."

IF you have an adjustable regulator (these were on WHs with generators only--the voltage regulators on stator-charged tractors are not adjustable), the screw is inside as shown below. BE VERY CAREFUL. Just 1/8th of a turn will move the voltage by about one volt. [Clockwise/tighty = higher voltage]. Personally, I use a very accurate volt meter attached at the battery terminals even while recognizing that there will be a lag as the battery catches up with the new charging voltage--the lag is longer if the change is substantial and/or if the battery is weak (as in 5 or 10 minutes with the engine running well above idle)!

73362 was sold 1994, 1995 and 1996. With the 49xxxxx serial it is 1994 - reverse the first two numbers.

73362 is 1996

Judging by the side decals I'd say 94+. What does the tag under the seat say?

This is where I put it (excuse the mess, it's a worker)

The last one I put in right under the seat pan, not sure if took a pic but I'll look

I fuse a wire right off the coil primary wire from the switch

I have a similar set of these lights on my Rat Rod. They are aftermarket motorcycle lights. Those dimples on the side are there for the cam lock on the ring. Check on the bottom side of the light for a screw. Don't remember, I may have installed a screw on mine to ensure that it would stay together. If it has one then remove the screw. You will then need to twist the front ring counter clock wise to remove it. This should be the style bulb that you are looking for. I used the LEDs on mine because I'm not running a charging system. https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/light-bulbs/specialty-light-bulbs/sylvania-reg-mr16-gu5-3-led-light-bulb/79129/p-1463764712040-c-642874317706876.htm?exp=false They are also available in halogen, I don't think that they are any brighter than the LEDs though. https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/light-bulbs/specialty-light-bulbs/feit-electric-reg-mr11-g4-halogen-light-bulb/bpq10mr11/p-1444430398199-c-642874317706876.htm The bulbs that I posted above should be available at your local hardware store. They are intended for 12v home lighting, so I would check in the home lighting section.

While the water is off, I would install shutoffs at the shower so you can have water while working on the shower. Most shower valves have an anti scald device that needs to be adjusted for hotter water.

@Ed Kennell has it spot on. Electric pumps want to push, they are very bad at pulling because the impeller doesn't produce vacuum like a mechanical diaphragm pump will. The closer to the tank, and the lower on the tractor you can mount it, so that it gets fuel very quickly, and gravity does most of that work, the better, and don't run it dry. This is why on cars we put them right in the tank.

Happy birthday, Jay! copy_BCB1BF54-C57C-4592-BB30-45F9223CA657.mov

I was saying to @ebinmaine… you could eat off the frame! That’s not possible on many other Wheelhorses!!

Excellent save. Looks like a nice machine.

Push! Put it as close to the tank as possible.

Got on the 314 and carried a hand sprayer to hunt down plantains .We call them buckhorn as well These things love lawns like no other weed and my experience growing up mowing Dad's yard made me hate them. Muw one day and the ugly seed heads were up the next. They come up from seed and love to hitch a ride if you mow more than one yard. You have to continually spray them because new ones appear every week for a month. So I hunted probably the last ones and plan to spray the entire yard to get the other stuff for next spring

Have a Great Day Glenn

"RAN UNTIL PARKED" Actually looks like a solid machine. Very little rust. Definitely worth saving!

Whatcha got there? Looks like the early frame horns but later decals?

It's NOT that bad .

Hello neighbor, I didn't know (or forgot) anyone else from town was member on here. Believe you are going to find the problem pretty quickly after removing the PTO bell housing. Most likely that outer bearing like Mike posted

This is good. As Mike said, likely the thrust bearing and or retaining clip.

Just got back from picking up what appears to be a '68 Electro 12 from the data tag. PO had over 20 Cub Cadets so I guess he figured this didn't belong!

The most common thing I see is the outer bearing failing. It's a common # 204RR6

If the PTO bell is moving 1/4" front to rear or up and down, the needle bearing has to be gone or severely damaged. Adjacent parts are also probably damaged. Pull the bell off and take some pictures.

Couple pics from today.....

Although there's plenty things that need done around the house, I chose to clean up the tractors instead. Wash & wax all 3 along with a few cold beers with a cigar. What a perfect way to spend the afternoon.

Got my work area cleaned up naturally I forgot to take a before photo. But I added in a post for roof support that needed put in. And removed 4 other posts that weren't structural, this was used for cattle at one point and the posts were for a chute. With boards nailed to them of course. It really opened up the usable space removing those posts. Probably going to pull the tractor out and power wash it before taking it apart. Not sure if I will start that this week or not supposed to get pretty hot

I can't say a beautiful day was wasted at a tractor show but I was disappointed. It's definitely downsized from the last time I was there. I'm not much into taking pictures but I did get a few. The widdy bittys having fun is always important. A few older machines and a couple new. A small selection of garden tractors. Only one Wheel Horse. You can see it under the Wooley Buffalo sign. The tag said 1970 but that was definitely wrong. It was a 76 or 77 B-80 with a big block transplant and pretty cobbled. Nice JD Patios. A block east there was a nice little farmers market. I did find out that there's another show next weekend in a small town just a few miles away. I'm thinking it will be a step up. It's on my name on it as long as some new countertops don't get delivered. That's tentatively next Friday.

Gas tank is mounted and I work some on the hood last night

Today I was working away at the C-141 before going to a Celebration of Life for a family friend. Today’s accomplishment was putting the hood on and tweaking the throttle lever. Tomorrow, I’m going to attempt to put some inserts for bolts in the drive belt cover and figure out the exhaust as it hits the hood, then figure out how to mount the new throttle and choke handles. Lots of little things now.

Guy I bought my hit/miss engines from has a couple ice cream makers. My girlfriend liked that idea. Guess that means I got the go ahead to buy one???

Found out that the LH captured nut on the '89 312-8 had a fuel seep so changed it out with tank that I found on eBay. I'll see if the old one can be repaired, but needed it up and running since it's my main mower this year. Then onto the 418-8. Tilled up the garlic patch that I harvested last night and then took it in the shop for an oil change, hood hinge replacement, and chassis lube. Had to easy out the axle zerk. Apparently it got sheared off at some point since the last lube.

We called that a 50/50 job in school. Looks good from 50 ft, or at 50 MPH.

Watching me have my coffee this morning

Sparky the tractor was called up to Active Duty yesterday. The BBT has decided that it should be assigned Mid Mount Grader Blade tasks. We had a short rain storm roll through and caused a ditch. They filled it in.

My 8 tomato plants are guarded by an electric fence strong enough to knock a steer down. (I have it on a timer and runs at night because of the grand kids) My wife told me that those 8 plants are so expensive, "we could have imported tomatoes from Italy!" It is not about money it is personal! The deer would take a bit out of every green tomato and spit it out on the ground.

Steering system fix and it work really good
