Got out there early this morning to detail the 416-8 project. Got it all done except for sharpening the blades, putting on the deck, and the decals from @Vinylguy. Not your fault Terry. They get here when they get here. I only brush touched some spots on the tractor. Its all original paint except for the wheels. Those I did paint. Its a nice tractor not sure what one I want to keep. I have to sell one as I cant keep 4. Leaning towards selling the 416-8 only because its newer. 416-8 has 48 inch deck and the C-161 has 42 inch deck but the C-161 is automatic. Both have nice 16 hp Kohlers. I also have the Lambert that still isnt finished and the Speedanza. I dont know what I was thinking but I only have a 1 car garage and everything is packed in like sardines !!!

nuthin wrong with your thinkin

 

( just need more garage space  lol )

Well after I finished up detailing the 416-8 I took a break to have lunch. After lunch I checked my mail and yesss sir I got my box from K&B Horse Parts !! A set of nice shinny hub caps !! I originally ordered these for the 416-8 but changed it up and put them on the C-161. I think that was the right move. Its looking nice and stylish now.... C-161.... the Cadillac of Wheel Horses. Just need some curb feelers for it now. Picture of my over crowded garage. I have to move some out just to get to my tool box.

Trying to figure out why the 1076 won't start  I thought the ignition switch was the problem because there was no return from the start position.  Went through the wiring all the wires are in good shape, cleaned all connections and grounds and the battery has a full charge. I'm kinda stumped at this point but tomorrow is another day. Gonna study the manual tonight. 

[AMC RULES 36,954]

Randy, has the switch been replaced, maybe?

[Pullstart 59,828]

Made the “Edward” (scissor hands) attachment on Steve come alive... along with popping an extra 7/16” hole in my hand.  It was so awesome to see Rylee help me finish this, and Mrs. P. test it out!

Yeah it has, I just replaced it today thinking that was the problem, but its still doing the same thing,  nothing 

[AMC RULES 36,954]

And, the poles are positioned correctly on that switch?

New front shoes to match the rears. Look closely at the last pic... Custom Shift knob.

Yeah Craig, 99% sure, not only followed the way the switch was wired, but checked what they were connecte to  

[AMC RULES 36,954]

Nice, good luck with it.

New shoes on the back and trailer hitch installed!  Unfortunately, the Wheelhorse Turf Savers had to come off.  New tires are Antegos, and the trailer hitch came from StreetRays on eBay.

Never really thought I would go this route but as we all know one thing leads to another. Anything that looks worn is getting replaced. Rear end and frame are almost done. I will be leaving hood, side covers rear fender and upper hoodstand as is, lower got painted today. All fasteners were removed, cleaned and painted either red or black as original.

HOW SWEET IT IS!!

Have you run a jumper cable from battery "-" to ground and one from"+" to the S/G?

Well spent the morning working on the Lambert at my cousins house. When I got home from there I decided to get back to work on the 416-8. With the blades all sharpened and balanced I installed them on the deck. Then I installed the deck on the tractor for the first time since owning it. After the deck was on I changed the seat to this one that I had in my garage. It is supposed to slide forward and back but dosnt seem to want to do it that easily. I may change it back. I am really starting to like this tractor more and more. After I packed all the tractors back in the garage I noticed that my decals came from @Vinylguy I was tired so I will finish it off tomorrow. I will also post some pics of the progress made on the Lambert tomorrow.
