Washed the dirt off the plow mule and the salt off the snow machine...

 

@Pullstart's plow day dirt is reacting with my dirt... maybe it will grow 10 mm sockets and a Money tree...! 
 

 

 

more like a pair of flip flops and box of band aides

Used my 314-8 and Wheel Horse Tiller attachment at our county museum today.  Two garden plot areas where tilled for the planting of prairie grasses and wildflower.

 

I learned the split rail fence around the plots is called West Virginia Split Rail!

Last time I bought non ethanol fuel it was about  50 to 60 cents higher than normal high octane.  

$4.50 ish maybe?

 

I'm sure today's elevated prices have it well over $5.  

 

The last time I bought race fuel/air fuel was probably 7 to 9 years ago. Even back then it was nearly twice that! 

$4.95 here for ethanol free. But thats all I run in tractors, yard equipment, snowmobiles, vintage motorcycles, etc.

After work, I pulled the group out for a triple side shot Sunday, test mowed the lawn and washed the winter salt off the 308. I’m thinking the mowing deck on the 312 needs work as it’s pretty loud. I’ve got time off coming up so maybe I’ll look at it then.

[Ed Kennell 45,775]

 

Got the 1076 and the tiller running and tilled the garden.     Works fine but it is quite different pulling a tiller vs pushing my front mounted tiller.

Now I need to install them both on the same tractor.

@ebinmaine Thanks, I still have the last two decks I got from you. I’ll check those out, and see if anything swaps over/ is still good, I’ll let you know if I need anything though. I haven’t forgotten about the hydraulics you are storing for me, that’s on the to do list too😁

@Easton Rich Did you figure out where all the new decals went?

[Easton Rich 1,139]

Yes! He sent me some hydro decals with it so that threw me off a little. Thank you guys for the help!

[Bar Nuthin 2,312]

Well, they all got some sun this weekend.

One got to mow, one was on trailer moving duty, and one said, "WTH? I thought I was your favorite!"

Cool.  

 

I may have a couple more parts in that bin too. 

Some of the spares for The Ugly Bruce tractor won't be needed.

Put an idler pulley on my 953 sickle to tighten the belt. It's a tensioner off a parts GT-14. Works great  Tried it out in a field no issues

Looks like you got it on the drive side.  They are usually on the slack side, but if it works.  

[ebinmaine 78,320]

A good friend of my late father is looking for his second Wheelhorse tractor. He has a 1054 and wants a different dedicated mowing machine.  

 

That is, in fact, the first lines of a classified ad I placed earlier.  I sent him a link so he could see what we're searching for. 

 

Seems he's already leaning towards a name.

Purple was my Ole Man's favorite color...

Looks like a big driven pulley 'Foose is that correct for a 953? 

[ineedanother 2,053]

Had a bit of time after work today to separate salvage from scrap...three good spindles and got rid of some yellow while I was at it

Nope @Pullstart tore up a wobble box running one too fast so I got that off the jungle site to slow it down.
