What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

[Sparky-(Admin) 26,610]

Quickie paint job…wiped the garage dust off these 65 pounders and gave em one coat of glossy black. Hopefully mounting em later this afternoon on the C-145 Auto.

Something like this may save the paint on your pretty wheels. Those 60+ lbs weights are hard to wrestle by hand

That looks like an immensely handy tool....for quite a few things I can think of.  I may just have to weld up something similar for my own floor jack.  Thanks for sharing

OK guys. Enjoy the video of my hand 

 

Actually I did this one just to get the audio. You can hear the noise much better with the mic pointed at the engine. I guess I should have pointed the camera the other way.

Put some decks away for the winter.   Left one on the 310-8  with Trac Vac for collecting leaves.

Finished the C-145 auto today…she’s ready for battle!! 
  25# inner and 65# outer weights. Brand new rear Carlisle All-Trails and a 48” 5 sector plow (yes I removed the swept axle extension kit for this install)
  I have cast iron 8” front weights and a set of rubber tire chains on standby if I need it.

Probably just one in small pieces.     

With an electric hoist You can stack five on a 28X28  dollie.

At the Polo, IL plow day 2 weeks ago, the 520-8 started running rough. It would just quit like it was loosing spark. When I got it home, I verified that it was. Ordered the engine ignition system kit and got it installed and back together this weekend. While I had it apart, I figured I would adjust the valves, since I was sure that the PO hadn't done that at 1,000 hours. 

 

The Onan 4 piece kit p/n is 166-0785 and is available on eBay.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's how it ran before:

 

 

 

 

Here's after:

My cheapo mentality forced me to abandon the last of my Onan engines. 

 

...But I do love how they run when dialed in. Sure purrs like a kitten!
