What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Being overly prepared is a heck of a lot better than unprepared.

Say what?

Put six of them to bed for the winter.

312H, 520-8, 416H, 520H (X2), 312-8

Siphoned out most of gas then ran till empty.

Pulled battery.

 

These were barely ran all summer so I didn't bother doing oil changes etc.

 

Got the 520HC with the plow moved up and I will get it all checked out and ready for winter duty.

 

The 520 with the mower deck is still in service to grind up leaves for the next few weeks.

Girlfriend questioned if my snow removal equipment was excessive? Do I really need that many tractors to clear snow? Told her either I keep them all or she gets a shovel! 🤣 She had nothing more to say......

Honestly,  she knows they are mostly just for me to go out & DO THE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPORTANT HARD WORK OF REMOVING the snow

 

I've replaced your obvious silliness with more appropriate information.

Absolutely agreed.  

 

My Uncle Ron does as well.

I installed strip of old conveyor belt on the edge  of dozer blade. Belt is 3/8 thick. Front stabilizer for snowplow is ready too. When I install the plow I will drill a few holes in stabilizer rod for different levels. Next move --  tire chains probably.

Who needs a BA impact gun to loosen stuck blades.  Old schoolers just get a longer wrench.

 

 

This deck may cut again with the blades right side up.

   Knew you would win the battle. Ed, using that long pipe I think I would grab a flex head rather than a ratchet.

I agree Richard, but I keep my breaker bar in my truck for lug nuts.   The ratchet was too handy and the Craftsmans are replacable.

glad ya got it. This has replaced a bunch of my cheater pipes and power handles and lug wrenches . Almost worth its weight in gold around the shop and farm.

Got one of these in a kit a few years ago. Only took a few months to: a) realize how often it is just what I needed, and b) that it should only be used with impact-rated sockets (no need to ask about how I learned that).

Agreed

Tried my luck with reupholstering a WH seat pan. I think it turned out good, not my first time with upholstery, I have done a few projects before.

postimage  Org may delete my picture. I think I have already payed the government enough to use their site.

I got this a couple of years ago and now rarely use my air impact guns any more.

I don't need a charger for mine.

Also got a large assortment of pipe wrenches up to 24 or 36 inches I forgot how long  and lots of pipe

Well, I have a very similar version, use it all the time, but I find that I do need a charger... beer, cashews and a wee bit of the venison chili usually works...

My version of HUGE extension pipe is a 51 inch long 3/4" drive breaker bar. 

 

Rarely use it but with my size and strength it'll outperform all of our impact tools except the strongest one.

Fixed it for ya...

Replaced 2 clutch disc. Glued new ones one with JB Weld.

The new clutch disc were slightly larger ODD, so I trimmed them with a belt sander.

First verified they were non asbestos, but still wore full PPE.
