Sparky-(Admin) 19,804 #2 Posted November 27, 2016 I would never have thought the WH weights would fit the inside. Are those not actuall WH rims with the usual offset? Mike.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 36,242 #4 Posted November 27, 2016 Looks like you're ready Howard. You might want to cut those bolts off before you scuff up your purdy shins. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,811 #5 Posted November 27, 2016 Where are your valve stems? If they are on the inside do the 2" spacers provide the clearance they need? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

857 horse 2,581 #7 Posted November 28, 2016 the first pic is the finished product,,,,,,AFTER i bolted everything together ,i realized i needed to turn the bolts around,,,then i cut off the extra... and the valve stems can be reached thru a cut out in the red weights....you can just make out the acess at the bottom of the weight!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 4,951 #8 Posted November 28, 2016 Howard Nice and beefy set up. That should move some what ever. Enjoy. Did you have help with the extra weight to put on the tires? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

857 horse 2,581 #12 Posted November 28, 2016 Just saw 2 questions.....here goes....... question 1 did I have help stacking all the weight.?? No....i used those 12" long bolts with the square end to lock in the weight...laid one weight on the ground...stacked on a wheel.....added the next weight....the bolts are so long everything just lays on the driveway until I tighten the nuts onto the bolts after that..i jjust cut off the ankle biters..and leaned them onto the hub adapters.. ..question 2 ....why the 2" spacers ?...the wheels are an inch wider than stock...and without the spacers the snow chains used to hit the snow blade frame..i think now.....1 inch spacers could have worked...even with the inner weights,,,,i fits pretty good.... On a side bar......i did get a text on my phone....from old Red Rider.....if i get a flat.....dont call him.....use triple AAA....lolololol I have a new cutting edge....going on Saturday.....and Im gonna give the #40 chain on the front tires a try...class's welcome,,,and your input is always obliged,,,,, 953 Nut says he has somthing new for the Mash Pole......as Many recall,,AMC Rulz used a Solar Powered Beacon last year..... ..... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #16 Posted November 29, 2016 Glenn, IMHO the black cab and blower actually compliments the red on the xi with side panels around the engine it's just a lil too much red vs the classics (520H) broken up with the black engine and hood/grill paint, I had my blade painted cheap spray bombs black before it faded back to red/pink/rust lol, BTW if we get some cold blustery wet white stuff you'll ask yourself why you didn't have a cab sooner running a blower,Jeff. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't feel bad you're not alone...I am no where near ready for winter...still haven't got an engine on my tractor yet...we don't get much snow here but they were calling for 12-14" in the near future, but I think they have dropped that down to 1-2" now 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,289 #19 Posted November 29, 2016 I thought about it lol...even if it is Green & Yellow it's still too nice of a tractor to dismantle...I'm gathering parts to build a new engine for the 1277 though, my blade fits my 701 need an engine for it too, thinking about a Predator swap on it since having a hard time finding a Kohler for it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard, I just realized I owe you an apology for putting my stuff on your thread. When I finished the tractor this afternoon and took the pictures, I kicked back in the garage and saw "SNOW READY" I thought it was where all the guys were posting thier snow ready stuff. I deleted my original post, but can't get rid of the others that quoted me. Maybe a mod can delete them. Sorry didn't mean to stomp on your thread.

I still have leaves to blow and mow. Leaves are still on the trees at my place.

I always wait until the big maple has finished shedding before tackling the leaves. Nothing but sweet gum trees on my place, they will not finish dumping their leaves until some time in Feb or later! Sadly, I have done nothing to make a few repairs to my snow pushing rig. I can get it running with virtually no problem and the blade, weights and chains I just leave on it but all of the repairs I swore I would have done before winter set in here are not done so I guess the old girl will just be pressed into service as is if or when I need to! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I've got a few things I was wanting to do to the B-100 before winter also. Like you, I'll just have to work it as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 36,242 #24 Posted November 29, 2016 I just returned from the WiFi free big woods Howard, so I missed much of the banter on your post. Sorry I missed the cut off bolts on your first pic. Richard @953 nut, I don't really know( or care) if Howard has purdy shins, but I always assume the best. And Jeff @WV Hillbilly, You got it right.....once you blo sno with a cab, always a cab owner. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
