Skwerl58 634 #18605 Posted March 18, 2023 I will disc, can be seen under my shed in the tractor picture , then I will till if needed. I have a Wheel Horse tiller for the tractor and a 1976 Troy Bilt Horse if I need it. It took me a few years to gather the implements at good prices. The disc is an older Sears that has 10 disc and they are larger than others I have seen and I got it a few years ago. I love the older equipment because it is heavier and it just holds up better. I also have a Brinly spring harrow that I picked up like new . 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GAJoe 814 #18608 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) I cut the grass one day last week and all went well; the new belts appear fine so I put the guards back on today. I also put some traction tape on the foot rest as I have to unmount similar to a Horse "of course". Edited March 19, 2023 by GAJoe 12 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #18610 Posted March 20, 2023 For my 1000th post i am happy to say the last shroud bolt on my briggs and stratton came right out i learned that all ratchet dont all rotate the same so i guess i was tightening when i thought i was loosening i got confused because on my dad ratchet the switch flipped to the left is loosen but on my ratchet to the right is loosen so my dad taught me to check before trying to loosen a bolt and the bolts aren't that long and if the bolt is the right material we can weld the tops back on to get them out also i remembered while i was loosening it to spray it with wd 4d to help it come out but one thing is is that the shroud seems stuck on somewhere but hopefully i can get it off today but thanks for all of you for helping me as my dad is away alot for work and cant always help me but i will try and get the shroud off today.

spitfire 176 #18613 Posted March 21, 2023 Today we worked on the B-125, checking electrics and redoing fuel system, to find out the choke leaver on the carburetor is broken en the intake manifold cracked... back to zero. Thats why he only coughed on start pilot ones. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 8,679 #18615 Posted March 21, 2023 Back in the early 90's when I had a large garden I used my Farmall Super A with a moldboard plow followed by a disc harrow and finished it up using a long railroad tie as a drag to smooth it all out, worked great. @Rob R 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I noticed though was that I had to take it a bit slower than expected, but I believe it is because there is a WRONG and WIMPY spring on the idler! Augers kept stalling out when I pushed a little too hard. New spring on order... The correct spring is a 6651 part number and is 7/8" OD, 0.10 wire, hook to hook 5-3/4" If you can find a "Century Spring 5532" that's an exact match for the WH part. And this one is VERY close, Century C-263 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BQWVLY/ What's on yours Bill? https://www.mwcomponents.com/shop/5532cs?microsite=century-spring 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evguy 551 #18617 Posted March 21, 2023 I was fortunate to score carlisle turf tires for 7.99 each at TSC today, normally 79.99. I’m wishing I would have gone sooner to get tires for more tractors. 7 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,103 #18618 Posted March 21, 2023 @Lane Ranger like your spring reference , when I was detailing in my snowblower , for any drag spots , the idler pulley frame , zeroed me into the empty holes that supported it , added thin teflon sleeve and green grease , also added a firmer spring for belt drive assurance , made a world of easier spin up difference , just went after every function ,of course , bearing re grease . emphasised that to the guy I sold it to , probably never get serviced again , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
