While on the subject, what's the farthest you have driven, to pick up a Wheel Horse.  7 hours  round trip for me.

 

 

About the same here. Was towards the middle of last year for a $125 running tractor

  Anyone have a standard tube size / part number available?  I couldn't find one in my search with the correct valve stem.

 

 

Partstree shows the tube for a 16x6.5-8 is Toro 105293 (112819) for $27.48

TSC has this one available for $7.99.  Valve stem type: straight (TR-13), can you tell if that is what you need?

When I thought I was going to use a tube there was one that could be used in several of the different size front tires. they don't have to be exact. Just kinda close ---some times they will tell you when you are looking them up on the web. Good Luck.

 I agree must be clean --works the best--great to see the fix.

 

 

This is how it came out after putting a wire wheel on it to knock off all the rust

Sprayed it down with brake cleaner, spread glue down to both surfaces, and clamped it for about 4 hours

Got everything back together once the glue was tacky enough to hold the material to the back during installation, and then tightened it down and set the parking brake. Hopefully everything will be golden by tomorrow morning to shove around some snow.

Nothing wrong with that. 

I do it quite often. 

 

Especially in a busy thread. That way there's a reminder of what you are writing about.

The ones I found had the valve stem directly in the middle.  I think/thought they need to be offset.  Not 100% sure

I finally had enough of wires breaking in the original harness on my C-81!  So I started gutting all the wires on the machine except the regulator harness and removed all the nanny devices designed to keep it from running!   In the process I started making other discoveries:  The rock hard original fuel hose was behaving more like a sponge and the prev owner had punched a hole through the inline fuel filter!!!!  My gear shift boot was nothing more than a rubber band left on the shift handle.  The muffler also had a couple holes blown out the end cap and a broken lower mounting tab.  So she now has new wiring (minimal-no lights, horn etc), coil, condensor, fuel line, filter, shifter boot, and nicely welded up and solidly mounted exhaust!  I was surprised how much quieter it is now.

Not sure. One of the mods might be able to narrow it down for you. 

Each system varies a little.

Someone tell me again, when and where is the "big show". All I know for sure is a fairgrounds some place, the Friday after Fathers Day.  I need to Mapquest it. Thanks  Greg

new wiring

Nice work. 

 

Oddly enough I find wiring tractors to be quite relaxing.

Okay, so today I finally painted the center of my 520H hubcaps...an idea I stole from @WVHillbilly520H...

If you find the right one, please share it in a new thread.  Things get too buried in this thread!

So today I disassembled my hydraulic control valve on my 1994 520H...the shaft was coming too far out of the front of the valve body exposing the o- ring ( not sure if this was the source of leak )...

looked at parts list for the valve body and discovered that I was missing the small washer and screw that goes on the left end of the shaft that runs through the valve body.

Nice caps!  I like the tread on those tires the caps are sitting on.  What brand and model are those tires?
