What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[fiftyfordfloored 49]

Brought more horses home.  One is a Commando 8 that runs and mows and the other is a project 800 auto someone gave up on.  The wife is growing concerned I may have an addiction.

Shame the tires are dry rotted, both rear sets appear to be original and say Wheel Horse on them... which I think is just so neat.  Swapped the tall skinny's from the 633 onto the 8.  It looks semi-ridiculous but at least it's functional for now.

A little tail light security. My new led taillights work great but one of them was a little to easy to remove the lens on so thought I would add a little security and put a. #6 screw through lens and base.

Not a chance in hell Ed Dog... more on the class in another thread. 

Suffice to say i didn't get a dang thing done on horses today but did get to watch @Achto whack on a busted up  hub.  Yup saws all came out.  @Chris689 he's dipping into my stock of 1" hubs.

Completed assembly of a K321 I had bored 0.10 over and the crank ground also..

Found green plastic throughout the inside during disassembly due to broken oil sensor.

Dang forgot to install balance gears...oh well!

After mowing this morning did some maintenance on 654. Have had to tighten left rear hub set bolt a few times- seems to keep coming loose. Gave it a much needed wash too. We've had so much rain & my back yard is really wet. I usually dont take off the wheel weights & 100lbs that I put on hitch for winter plowing. Decided to take all the weight off to help from making ruts in grass. Of course it would help if I lost some weight too! Its not much of a looker with its crappy paint job but its really a good working tractor.

I remember the mystery of the green plastic. Looks great!

Started putting Epump on 312-8 today. Got bracket made to mount pump behind motor. Found break in sheetmetal that holds seat gas tank bracket so got that straightened out, then pressure washed machine. Put new bushing and fuel cut off in tank and got new fuel line run. Got hungry and had to quit for the day. Also had to get home b4 warden got in. Had a visitor while working today and he/she exemplified the ol saying meaner than a black snake, it would run dog then dog would run it funny as he77.

The 312-H at my son’s place got it’s share of TLC this weekend.

Saturday: take off the snow blade & wheel weights, sharpen and lube recycler deck and install

Today: swapped in  LED headlights, and a new battery (O’Reilly’s), rewired the power for the seat-back utility light, and installed a rear rock shaft (made by @JoeM & bought at the BS last year), lift cable, and sleeve hitch.

Found a couple of item’s we’ll have to get to soon. Maintenance is never ending!

We could probably fix you right up if I would stop killing them. 

 

Note- King and black snakes get a pass. All others are legitimate targets. 

 

By all others I mean not black or black and white banded. We have several varieties of poisonous sneks here. Copperhead (bit me several years back), cottonmouth, rattlers, and coral snakes.

The poisonous ones I can understand the great aversion to. 

 

Snakes eat things we don't want around here, like rodents... and unfortunately other things we do want around, like frogs. 

Our rodents are targeted 🎯  by several means.

Last night I installed the hitch I ordered from wheelhorsepartsandmore. Bolted up nice on my 1257 and seems like very good quality, I look forward to using it. Thank you @wheelhorseman .

This is my issue. We have a lot of snakes around me, and some are venomous.  Aside from garters I am not great at telling the difference and so I try to avoid them all.

 

The only ones I ever killed were stuck in my bait basket, and I know they were venomous. 

 

But I thought danger noodles were downed high voltage lines.

I'd say both qualify. I mean really, even a foam pool noodle - in the right hands - is a danger noodle...
