What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[Handy Don 16,643]

Over the past two weeks the 854 got new Firestone Town & Country rear tires. Very pricey but so far they are just what I was hoping for.

I took the opportunity to strip and repaint the wheels using the Cottage White (formerly Navajo White).

Mounting always leaves marks, so in anticipation of the Big Show, I even did the touchups. 

Looked so good I got out the can of Regal Red and touched up a bunch of the scratches and scrapes that a worker acquires over time.

I used to use the Navajo white all the time and liked it better than most others but have since went to the Canvass white over red primer, which is just a tad bit "whiter" than Navajo. I have seen the Navajo back on the shelves lately though and may go back. I believe the Cottage white your using looks to be a close match to the Canvas but hard to tell in pics. BTW looks great and really like the rear hides....

@sqrlgtr  tractor supply has the flat  pulleys , as well as  no thread shank shoulder bolts ? so the flat  pulley can easily spin move , only placement I did was a very slight  push in in longest unsupported area , you can barely see the deflexion . flat washer  top and bottom of bolt mount , with  elastic Lok nut on top side of deck .  this set up will also  help settle down the spring slide tensioner . done a number of "  gold mine repair areas ? "  . pto lever set up , mule drive bearing  improvement .  lots of related to frequent failures , love those ?  dicect  intended function , and  verifi /  insure it , plow frame lever swing ease , to / from  swing quadrant lever ?  thats an awesome  gain , good talkin , pete

Did the first actual working of the 1257 today.

Hooked the land plow up and plowed where I will be attempting to grow a 1000lb pumpkin. I couldn’t get as deep as I wanted since I found out really quick that I need a new belt. But ran great otherwise!

Replaced the ammeter on my one tractor, the one I replaced was a new one but it was a 30 amp gauge which is a bit high for these tractors and the needle just went everywhere with the vibrations. This one works much better!

Did a little more mowing this evening, really enjoyed operating it for a hour or so. The Toro zero turn seat is turning out to be very comfortable, the thought of an original seat is mighty tempting though.
