And once done with the removal, the solution is this....... Have these I made on all my Horses - for 10+ years now - remove one retainer clip - push it out with one finger....

Gave the Inter the 'ol greasy @peter lena oil rubdown treatment, shined her right up!

Nobody had mentioned twisting. As soon as you can get a pipe wrench on the pin, start twisting it with heat and oil/wax and it’ll bust loose much quicker!

Galloway Farmobile Tractor and much more William Galloway became successful by providing what the customer wanted and making the purchase a pleasure. He learned customer service as a door to door salesman after graduation from collage and working as a traveling sales representative for farm implements. With the lessons learned on the rural roads of Iowa, Galloway began a farm implement dealership in Waterloo Iowa in 1901 and looked for opportunities to meet the needs of his customers. Within a couple of years, he was manufacturing his own line of harrows, carts wagons, and manure spreaders. Soon the product line expanded to include gasoline engines, cream separators, tractors, and other implement specialties. When William Galloway decided to get into the engine business in 1906 he bought an established business, the first Galloway engines were built by a Wisconsin firm, but beginning in 1908 they were built in the Waterloo factory. Galloway built its “Frostfree” line of water-cooled engines in sizes from 1-3/4 to 15 hp along with a 1-3/4 hp air-cooled model. All engines were available as stationary or portable (on wheeled trucks) versions. Prices in 1913 ranged from $29.75 for a 1-3/4 hp air-cooled to $439.50 for a 15 hp portable. (frostfree means the water-cooling tank could be drainer easily) The William Galloway Company had outgrown its manufacturing facility after six years and moved to a new fourteen-acre floor space building in 1907. He was providing employment for over eight hundred people and had sales of two million dollars. Galloway’s sales catalog business provided serious competition to companies such as Sears & Roebuck at that time. The majority of Galloway’s sales were mail order from his catalog with over three hundred thousand customers. Since he had a strong catalog customer base Galloway added household items. The 1913 catalog featured 146-pages of engines, pumps, sawing outfits, manure spreaders, cream separators, portable elevators and well drilling outfits. There were litter carriers, incubators and brooders; sprayers, grain drills and corn planters; plows, harrows and cultivators; harness, saddles and buggies, as well as Galloway wagons, which were famous for their high quality. Also, anvils, forges, iceboxes, mattresses, roofing, work clothes, windmills, and almost anything the farmer could imagine. You could even buy the Little Wonder Vodaphone, tennis rackets, roller skates, and even bicycles through the Galloway catalogs. Since most customers for farm implements traveled to Waterloo Iowa to pick-up their purchases Galloway built a rooming house known as the Galloway Club where customers could eat and sleep for free. Galloway expanded his product line in 1908 to include manufacturing a vehicle promoted as a conveyance that could carry the family to church on Sunday and haul cargo during the week. Power for the rather basic high wheeled car was a two-cylinder, fourteen-horse power engine. One advertisement made a comparison between owning a Galloway Auto Transport to owning a horse , telling prospective customers it was a waste of money to feed horses “… corn worth 75 cents a day and oats worth 35 to 40 cents, and hay worth $14 to $20 a ton …” when they could buy “Galloway’s New Auto Transport,” which “Puts Town Next Door to Your Farm for less than $36 a Year.” The 1910 acquisition of the Maytag-Mason Motor Car Company gave Galloway a much more acceptable car. The Maytag-Mason Automobile was powered by a two-cylinder engine designed by Fred and August Duesenberg. This is the same Maytag that produced gas engines for agricultural machinery and washing machines and the same Duesenberg brothers that went on to produce some of America’s most presages automobiles. Agricultural equipment sales remained strong and were so profitable that it allowed Galloway to make further ventures intro the motor vehicle manufacturing arena. The Dart Truck and Tractor Company was brought into the Galloway family in 1910. These were well engineered machines with chain drive which were update The “Farmobile” tractor was Galloway’s entry into the farm tractor market. The 12-20 model powered by a Dart four-cylinder liquid cooled engine with a two-speed transmission was featured in their catalog for $ 995 and promotion claimed that the Galloway manufactured tractor “Pulls Anything, Anywhere, Anytime.” Having a line of trucks and a tractor to pull the Galloway farm implements made them a full line manufacturer. The October 17, 1918 edition of Automotive Industries noted that “the new worm drive tractors produced three years of experimentation.” The article also states that “…in January of this year the company received an order for 1,080 tractors of this type from the well–known British firm of Henry Garner, Ltd.” The future looked very promising for Galloway with increasing sales of Farmobile Tractors and Dart trucks. A new smaller general purpose Bearcat tractor was being added to the line and the company needed to expand its manufacturing facility to accommodate the growth. Galloway decided to sell corporate bonds to generate funding for the Dart Truck manufacturing facility. Volume 99, Bankers Magazine, 1919, “One of the largest bond issues ever handled by Iowa banks has been underwritten and sold by the Waterloo Clearing House Association without the assistance of either Wall Street or LaSalle Street interests. This was the $1,750,000 issue of the William Galloway Company of Waterloo, Iowa, hearing date of July 1, 1919, and due July 1, 1925. Both are a direct obligation of the William Galloway Company and are a lien against its plant, properties, and business.” The agricultural depression that followed World War Two and the recently generated debt load were insurmountable for Galloway and the firm went out of business in 1921. William Galloway’s sons resurrected the company in late 1926, but on a much more modest scale. As a mail-order company for farm supplies. A 1939 catalog lists cream separators, manure spreaders, harrows, gas engines, feed grinders and hammer mills, wagons, barn equipment, poultry equipment, and paint. No further information was found past 1939.

rear tillers push forward. My front tiller pushes backward...but I am left handed.

I've removed a couple by sawing off the pin like Dan did, but then I bottom drilled a 7/16 hole in the pin from the right side stopping about 1/4" before drilling thru. Then used a 3/8" drift in the hole and a BFH to drive the pin out. The idea is, you are pulling instead of pushing and mushrooming the end the pin. I can see this combined with Dans puller would really work well. Using the drift in a hole does not mushroom the pin like pounding on the end of the pin.

I threw together this puller to remove that last stubborn pin that I had. First I used a Sawzall to cut the pin on each side of the tranny. Then I drilled & tapped the pin that was stuck in the tranny. After that I used this puller to remove the pin. Tighten the bolt on the puller, use a drift to pound on the opposite end of the pin. Repeat, repeat, add more extensions, repeat....

This stupid hitch pin. Every tractor I've ever torn apart this pin is a big issue. It's been soaking in pb blaster since January and I've heated it and no dice. Probably gonna have to drill it. I'm just here to vent.........

Hitch pin removal (hasn't failed me yet): Take the right wheel off and set that side trans on a jack stand...leave the left wheel on. (1) the hitch pin is soft---cut off flush with Sawzall (2) Center punch and drill 1/8" pilot hole in RIGHT side at least 1 inch deep. (3) Open this 1/8 to 1/4 then to 1/2 or more...drilling deeper each time. (4) Using a pneumatic impact hammer with round punch in that hole you drilled to drive it thru. (5) Reinstall pin using a 3/4" with a big "D" ring like this from TSC....less than $10 bux. Coat it with anti-seize.

I’m not sure when they switched back to a steel fender pan for the black hoods, but some of the literature shows plastic and some shows steel.

Hello All!! Long time no checking in but, THANK YOU ALL for the birthday wishes last month. Appreciate the acknowledgement of the day I was hatched 45 years ago. After finally getting time to be off work early today the opportunity to get the C125 out of it's hibernation since early 83-84. And the story of what exactly happened to it. How I wish Paul Harvey (September 4, 1918 - February 28, 2009) could do this narrative for me. Here is the rest of the story. Bill had two sons, Neil and Patrick. Neil being the oldest was tasked with the lawn work with their father and Patrick being 3 years younger, could help by raking, picking up sticks and trimming with hand shears. One day, the family was heading to Peoria and on the way, passed by the local lawn and garden dealer. Seeing a load of the new black hood tractors outside on display he pulled in and didn't hesitate to purchase a C125, the first Wheel Horse sold at Stoekers Lawn and Garden. Also, his first garden tractor. The tractor was delivered on a Friday afternoon and the salesman demonstrated how to operate it safely to Neil and his father. After taking turns on mowing the lawn, it was parked in the garage. Patrick wanted a turn but his father told him that he can use the push mower for a few years first and then graduate to the rider. Not the answer he wanted. Then came Sunday, the day of relaxing, family picnic and the accident. After church, they all raced home, mother busy with the prep of the drinks, salads and desserts, father cleaning the grill and placing tables in the shade with the help of both sons. That afternoon, people were enjoying their Sunday lunches and conversations when the sound of a motor got the attention of the father. A Wheel Horse had come out of the garage with Patrick driving... poorly at top speed. He managed to strike the concrete flower planter, picnic table with people, dessert table, and a pine tree. Needless to say, tractor was ruined and so was the picnic. I found out that the father had tried to repair/repaint the hood to the best of his ability but couldn't get it the way he wanted. So, instead of selling, or trading it off he decided to bury it in the back of his shed behind the many vending machines to be forgotten until a few months ago. His son Pat is the one who gave me this tractor and told me the entire history of why it was buried. The deal is that I maintain the lawn that tractor was intended for since he didn't get to. I installed a new battery and cleaned the fuel system. That's all! Runs beautiful, drives excellent, needs hood repainted and decals. Needs the Choke handle since it was broken off. Thinking about using plasma cutter and eliminating the discharge chute unless the deck from my 312 will fit. Have to get the C195 out for pictures from small to large

If the pin won't come out easily I don't even fight with it. Three cuts and move on to the press. Cut both ends off flush with the transaxle to remove the slot hitch/draw bar, cut at the center of the transaxle castings and after the transaxle has been pulled apart take both halves to the press and push the remainder of the pin out of each half.

Worst Design? Did you ever have to remove a fuel tank from a 953?

i use my ball joint press. snap-on BJP-1

Those air hammers have helped me once or twice. Yes cut the slot hitch and take the hitch to the press if needed. Gets the draw bar out of the way too.

Little linisher is finished, I can get back to the model build now. Oh, when Mrs. W releases me from yard work duty lol.

Old classmate does yard clean up and excavation. He cleaned out a barn for a family of a deceased Allis Chalmers collector. They gave him all of this and he asked me if I wanted it as he had no idea what to do with it. Stuff has been sitting a while but everything spins and moves. A B212 and 2 712 hydros with a sickle, mid grader, snow blower, garden scratcher, 2 decks, dozer blade and the remnants of a snow cab. I may have a buyer lined up for all of it already!

that explains a lot, but what does that have to do with a tiller?

Heat / quench. Watch one of Taryl fixes all videos..

Never although I've had a 953 and can just imagine lol

I really like the puller idea.

Yer not doing something right or missing hardware Wheeler. Mine flip up all the time but I am too stupid to latch it (early style). Anyone got a pic of the late style for him?

You are missing a part on your tractor. The flip up fenders were supplied with a latch since their first year in 1965. From '65-'67 they used a slide latch the caught the cross bar under the fenders. In '68 when they switched to foot boards instead of stirrups they switched to a spring loaded latch that was mounted to the cross bar that supports the back of the foot boards,

That hitch pin isn't really a design flaw so much as a previous owner's lack of maintenance. They should have been oiled when installed or swapped. Some suggestions. 1. Ditch the PB. It's been proven many times to be less than effective. My experiences show me good Ole fashioned Liquid Wrench is a better bet. Other folks like paraffin or ATF and acetone mix. 2. More heat. 3. Remember that it took 50 years to rust and will take time to come undone. 4. Do you have access to a press or better yet, a large ball joint remover? Some auto parts stores rent them. Really though..... it's just a pin. Replacements are readily available. Yes it's nice to save the old ones when possible but sometimes drilling is the better way.

I don't own a tiller but...A common complaint when running a tiller with a hydro tranny is that you have to hold back on the hydro lever to keep the tiller from pushing the tractor forward too fast. So I would say that the tiller should spin forward. I know this was a complaint with the Cub Cadet that I grew up using.

It was entertaining to hear about it from the person that caused chaos in the first place. Thank you for the information on deck!

He said he bought em from Priority Tire..but Walmart “on-line” has them as well. They’re a Firestone product so that’s probably a good thing https://www.walmart.com/ip/Firestone-Regency-AG-Tractor-6-12-Load-4-Ply-Tractor-Tire/629479066?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=2984&adid=22222222223000000000&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=o&wl2=m&wl3=10352200394&wl4=pla-1103028060075&wl5=&wl6=&wl7=&wl10=Walmart&wl11=Online&wl12=629479066_10000003102&wl14=regency ag tires&veh=sem&msclkid=6cee2ab113711f23d03f4c9210f2b267&gclid=6cee2ab113711f23d03f4c9210f2b267&gclsrc=3p.ds

Ed after you derust everything it will be 10 or 15 pounds lighter.

My son brought over his 1969 Work Horse 700 and together we showed it done attention. New rear AG’s. New adjustable tie rods and a front end alignment, also replaced the steering thingy that bolts to each frame rail (can’t think of the name). That part was a PIA!! He also brought over the 42” deck off his 314-8 so we could use my air gun to get his mowing blades swapped. Great day!

Well they fit perfect they are smaller than the spindle so the offset can be changed multiple different ways with spacers. Currently the hubs are out and the spacer is on the outside

The deck is a nope, but the rest has hope.

my dad has 2 massive tool boxes full of stuff and 2 smaller ones that my grandpa has so I am Shure we have a 1/4 snap-on or blue point punch

I bought that exact set of roll pin punches and paid good money for them, but it was worth every penny. The difference is night and day over flea market roll pin punches.

Good Horsey, you can take a break now......

Have been busy the last couple of weeks. The Inter is running well until it did'nt.. fuel issue.. the tank was al plugged up with dirt and debris. I unclogged it and installed a see though pre-filter along with new fuelfilters. Runs much better now. Still have to properly clean the tank though. Also carried out maintenance on the entire machine, changed all the fluids and filters minus coolant. Also fixed both leaky PTO seals. Bearings are excellent, shafts do have some minimal wear but nothing a new shaft seal won't fix. Now no more leakage detected. After that it was time for the first 'real' test.. cleaning up years of accumulated dirt, grass, weeds and what not to uncover the concrete slabs that were hidden underneath. I thoroughly enjoyed this little job and the tractor did excellent. I'm kinda getting why all you guys are always going on about 'seat time'

Back in March of 2012, I asked the question "Will the cost of gas keep you from the show this year?" There were many who said yes, others said they'd bite the bullet and come anyway. That year we still had a good crowd. However, this year, not only do we have gas prices 50% higher than last year, but the cost of everything else is up as well. I'm still coming but I am only 55 minutes away. Just for the record, my optimism and enthusiasm has not waned.

Obviously i need more tractors... I was recently given the Husqvarna, L110, and 190C, if i can located good decks for the deeres ill sell them, im rebuilding the husky deck tomorrow.

I read on here a few years ago that Wheelhorse had 23 different implements back in the late 60s. I figure a minimum of one tractor per implement is justified.

Well done Gary
