ebinmaine 63,214 #14177 Posted January 7, 2022 Well, the more I use this hydro the more I like it. We had about 4.5" of nice dry powdery snow. I couldn't overload the thing. It just. Keeps. Pushing. I did have some difficulty getting it started though. I know it needs a head gasket... 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I posted a couple of my 1077 pics right after you requested them. I think I quoted you on the reply. I put new points on it today and still don’t have spark. I ordered an ignition switch so hopefully that will fix it. If not, I’m going to need your number so I can get more advice. here is the pic I posted . It’s little brother was thrown in on the deal. He kind of looks like a little red frog. We call him froggy Edited January 8, 2022 by BHunter 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,814 #14182 Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Saaaweet Bob...looks alot like my 1077 when she came home. Shouldn't take much to get her running tho. Should have the 70 amp switch for direct from bat starting. Nice thing about these girls is you got 12vdc to the coil and good points she is gonna run dirty carb not withstanding but should be able to hand feed and get a couple of pops. That's always encouraging. Is froggy a C series maybe an 80? Never a fan of the froggy lights they always come thru here all busted up.... but seems to come home on that one. This 1077 is a go to....

Desko 552 #14183 Posted January 8, 2022 Been inactive for awhile now because life got in the way but turning back to this long overdue project. Frame and trans are already done so I plan to at least strip all the tins and start with an etching primer to make sure it has a good hold and lasts another 40 years! 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do look similar. I like the red heads you have on yours. Did you put the running boards on? We have the same seat too. What is the toggle switch on the console? I have one too but I think it’s a kill switch. Im looking forward to hearing it purr soon. I just need to figure out the coil issue. I might just put an external coil on it and rewire everything.

It will definitely last another 40. You’re doing it right. That part right there always has the most rust on it. Guess they didn’t really put much paint on it at the factory. It will be nice when you’re done. Bob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No not much paint on them lol the paint remover doesn't have much issue lifting it up and off to give me a nice clean surface to work will. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typically I have my tractor and wb snowblower ready a month ago. I had removed the deck 2 weeks ago, but the bagger frame was still on and my dozer blade wasn’t. I have to remove the under seat bracket because it interferes with my 2” receiver that attaches to the rear tach-o-matic. It’s all done now, I dug out the suitcase hanger I made for my weights. I have 6 45lb cast iron weights, plus the 70lbs of iron in each wheel. It’s heavy when loaded. I also started up my 1984 5/21 toro (first pull) and changed the oil. Awesome light weight snowblower and throws the snow a country mile. I'm close by in Mendon MA! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,748 #14190 Posted January 8, 2022 Bought a muffler for my c160 off of fleabay, I had a Cub cadet muffler on it and changed it over to that one looks a lot better back to original. I didn't like the Cub cadet muffler because it pointed down to the ground so when I drove over the driveway which is stone all I would get was dust storm underneath. 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 10,769 #14191 Posted January 9, 2022 Got a couple things done on the Bronco. Repainted the muffler, added seat springs and 1 inch spacers, and basic servicing. New battery, fuel line and filter, and oil change. Still working on getting some hydraulic lines sorted out. 9 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjoemie himself 2,918 #14192 Posted January 9, 2022 That is a beefy looking machine you got there @kpinnc I like it. I'm going to sound like the newb I am but is that 3 point factory or your custom creation? Also, those front tires look killer, what size and brand are those? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goedemorgen I think it's custom, only D-series, GT14 and the C195 had a 3pt hitch. They are cat 0. Curios for the brand as well. Good luck finding affordable 12" AG in the Netherlands. Cheapest I can find was 350€/400$ for a set 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the parts of the 3 point are from a D series, but about 3/4 of it is fabricated. The hydraulics are separate from the belly cylinder, and it uses a dual spool valve so they are controlled separately. The front tires are Firestone 16x6.50-8. Miller tire carries them. Be warned, they are pricey. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrazeyOlDave 859 #14196 Posted January 9, 2022 My only Horse work is rear wheels…I bought some 520 deep dish rims, 8.5” bead to bead. Now I’m trying to figure out what size tires to put on them… not sure if my 23x10.5-12’s would work and look correct or not. Anyways, my intentions are to have them loaded with rim guard.

Finding hassle free wheel weights is getting tough. 10.50s will work and look fine on those rims as long as the tire is made by a brand that builds "close to actual". Don't use Deestones. They run very small. Absolutely recommend getting the Rimguard fluid fill. My experience out here with wheel weights is to keep a half an eye out ALL the time and buy when you find them whether specifically needed at that point or not. Pricing on metals in general is high then you add the vintage/classic/antique flavor to the old style cast iron wheel weights and they become coated with unobtanium ridiculousi. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
