c-series don 10,440 #24701 Posted Sunday at 12:47 AM Today I did something I’ve been meaning to do for years. Take the transmission and hydraulic system out of this 416-H. I took out the wiring harness and might save the spindles and steering wheel. This tractor was given to me and was already in rough condition. I lent it to a buddy to use around his farm. He is not known for taking good care of his equipment, so that’s why I let him use this particular tractor. Well after a few years of use he called me and said it’s making a funny noise. I went there and listened to it, it was knocking like crazy. Checking the oil I found none on the stick. I was not surprised or mad because I knew this could happen with this guy. Luckily the transmission oil was full so I drove it around and it worked fine. I brought it back home a few months later and it sat in my back yard for a few more years. So I decided today was the day to finally do this and junk the rest. While I was working on it my granddaughter decided that she wanted to clean and work on her tractor too! I was absolutely thrilled to have her in the garage with me! ❤️ 2 8 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you're planing to save some of that stuff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,564 #24703 Posted Sunday at 03:25 AM Did a few things today. New wheel on my B-80 36 inch mower deck. working on a transmission to change on a RJ. Cracked the drive pulley but had a couple extras. Also put Schnacke recoil back on my new to me RJ. With one of the new 1 1/2 inch hex nuts i had made. 7/20 fine thread on both ends of the 1 1/2 inch long 7/8 hex nut. Made so you can turn it around and use again if the hex gets rounded by the three recoil fogs! 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 2,340 #24704 Posted Sunday at 10:29 AM The floor boards on the GT series seem to be thicker than the later Toro branded machines and less prone to bending. Might be worth saving 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that C-195 pedal tractor is shines just as good as your C-175, adorable little helper! Back to the 416-H, what do the 950 rear tires look like? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 10,440 #24706 Posted Sunday at 12:35 PM @Bill D Yes I was contemplating stripping the engine or just trying to hide the entire thing somewhere! As I said a few weeks ago though I am beginning to suffer from TMS Too Much Stuff in my life. Sometimes I look around and ask myself if I need all this stuff?!! It’s mostly Wheel Horse stuff and I have a hard time parting with things. It’s one of those things where I think if I get rid of it I’ll need it the following week! But I’m running out of space and don’t want a disorganized mess. Like most of us here I wish I had a big barn to neatly store everything in one location. @Dan 312-8 the rear tires are shot, one has an actual hole in the sidewall. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
