What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[haydendavid380 759]

Filled up the leaky tranny on the 312 so I could haul the mess the wife pulled out of the flowerbed  to the pile in the back yard. Got a box from Lowell containing all the parts for the rear lift on the B80.

I then took it for a spin. Felt like I was driving around a mini back hoe.

I think she may have thought it was a huge chocolate donut.  That would even get me excited!

Hahahah there is a pretty good chance that might have been it too, I'm still hoping she just likes tractor parts lol

I got the new Kemp stack put on the C-141. It sounds even better than it looks. Didn't take me long to realize, I had it too close to the hood and decals. It gets hot! It's now about 2 1/2" away. Is that far enough? Then I went on a road trip. I was driving down a gravel road, past a barn, and suddenly, This jumped on my trailer. I told my wife it was the darndest thing. I drove to the end of the road, turned around, drove back past the barn and threw out $150 as a   It seems 100% original and 99% complete.

The motor turn over by hand with no strange noises or clanks, so I am hopeful.

Needs some TLC, but that's where the fun lies. All the tires were up, so I am assuming it hasn't sat there for decades anyway. Then, again while driving, I happened past a fellow members house, and this jumped in my truck. (I gotta get a new truck). A Kohler K, Size is yet to be determined, as the model/serial number plate is gone.

It also spins over. I've had a busy day, and it looks like I have a few busy days ahead of me

 

P.S. Don't forget my question. Is 2 1/2" far enough away from paint and decals for that muffler?  Thanks  Greg

Got the cart today Billy....fits fine. Some assembly required.   Helmet must be on the slow boat from China yet. 

The whole setup will be good enough for what little welding I do and the women I go out with!

I'll do a thread in tools I get a little practice on it. You guys can critique my beads.

Good thing you wrote that again. 

 

Yeah that's fine. I've had them closer and no issues. 

 

That 875 should be a good time occupier for you. 

Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Graded the back yard as it finely got dry enough do do something with it. Had trouble with my septic tank filling up with water a month or so back. I have a area drain out there I got stop up one Sunday when it was

raining every day and back water over the tank. Went out in the rain and open the drain and did as much as I could by hand. The area has filled in in the last thirty years. I went out a couple days later with the 312

and blade in a big mud puddle and open it up some more. The 312 surprised me running in 6" of water it was spinning constantly pushing a blade full of mud but it never stopped. Made a huge mess but got most of\

the water away from the tank.  I'll have to wait until it rains again to see if it needs anything else.

I had this on the back of the 312 that I ripped up the area before using the blade

I would cut the raised boss away enough to get a tubing wrench on the hex.

 

It may come to that, need time to get back to it! I will have to grind the opening on the wrench, it isn't quite wide enough to go over the tubing.

I will have to to take a pic of my new set-up, still wanting a bottle of 75% Co2/25% Argon for solid wire mig welding, plus mine is Aluminum spool gun ready will need a separate bottle of 100% Argon for that as well. Remember if yours is gas capable you can still use fluxcore wire for stronger welds with gas.

Putt Putt has been sitting since September 28, last year.  When @PeacemakerJack’s crew was here, he puttered and died while Jada was cruising.    We stuck her on Stormy and kept cruising until the line up picture.... then pushed him into the garage.  I cleaned up the points and on old fuel he fired right up!

 

 A little smoke, but it cleared up well.

I'm putting tail light(s) on would the blinker off a old car work for them to blink is question.

[nyquil junkie 225]

Time to drag a sleeper from under its tree and send it to work...  After some fresh gas, a charged up battery, some air in the tires and clearing the winter debris out f everywhere, it popped off and runs just fine, no smoke no sputter.  I was sure it was going to give me grief as it was not running right when I parked it. Funny how a clean fuel filter will fix stuff like that. 

 

 

Lots of universal lubricant on the moving bits.

 

 

A shot of grese in every zerk and its off to the fields to live pulling a lime spreader and occasionally a brush hog and dragging the fields with a chain harrow.  Then it'll be pulling 4x8 trailer loads of firewood out of places the trucks cant go.  I might have to replace the leaky front tires if sealer doesn't keep em up.

 

 

This one has to come home for a good cleaning and repairs.  Ill probably fabricate a better workbench seat.  Maybe remove the plow and convert it to some other use.  The read hubs are pretty lose, those duals and chains beat the snot out of them.

I'm thinking of chopping this one for scrap. Its scabbed together from a couple different models, (not my doing) not sure what they are or of any parts are usable. The engine runs fine, (did run fine...) just surging all the time.  I worked it for a day when I got it, then parked it and kinda forgot about it.  I need to get it out of my way sooner or later.

I should have taken pics when I had to lift it out of the mudhole it was stuck in with the backhoe.  It was like carrying a muddy turtle by the tail dangling off the hoe all the way back to the driveway.

 

The neighbor guy got a good laugh.

looks like lots of usable parts there, rather than scrap
