Some how that dirt/sand doesn't look like South Corinth NY

Yup. I’ll have to update my profile or something I guess. Been so busy I haven’t been on here much but I do drop in every now and then. It is nice to make use of the Horses occasionally:-)

Isn't the front roto-tiller a bit coarse for sweeping ...  

 

He's using it to dig up more material for his needs Norm! 

Good to hear from you Aldon! If that was on my honey do i'D turn the pool into a trout pond she wasn't looking...

I can’t do much of anything with my back so crooked, so I went out and visited my Horses today.

 

 

Looks like if your state goes to a total lock-down, you'll have plenty to play with! I'm not sure if I've said it before, but I love your shop and the way it is set up. Definitely an efficient way to to store your toys.

 

Here a while back I ran across a post from probably 10 years ago that contained a picture of a tractor with a blue hood that I think is the same as the one on Screamin' Jenny. I didn't realize that it was the same hood until the next day.. I'll have to see if I can come up with the post.

 

Great video, by the way!

  Treated the C125 to a new battery. The old one finally gave up the ghost. Must be at least 6yrs old. Had the tractor for around 8yrs and can't remember ever putting a new battery on it before.

6Years is a good lifetime.

I had one the other day at work I swapped out that was a 2013 battery. Can’t believe it lasted that long. Was the factory battery with the assembly technician’s markings still on it. 

[8ntruck 6,416]

I put a new battery in my 14-8 last spring.  The one removed was 9 years old!

[Pullstart 59,846]

Too bad the odds of all these news ones lasting that long is nil...

Rylee says to me today... “We need some of those real little, fast Wheelhorses for me and Jada.”  I respond, “Those ones with the engine right between your legs?  We have two of them.  I bought them at last year’s Big Show.”  She was lost... and confused at the same time.  First, I showed her @stevebo / @Brennanbo’s and @BHunter / @D_Hunter‘s hot rod Suburbans.  

 

 

 She said “Yeah, like those!”  I then showed her our RJ-58’s and explained that they’ve been waiting for her and her sister to work on them.  She’s chompin’ at the bit to get going on them,..  NOW!

 

 

I didn’t realize until now, Steve and Brennan’s has a modern two piece transmission.  One of ours has a completely gutted trans, the one from @953 nut has a complete trans.  I might end up better off building an adapter like @Lane Ranger has!

 

[Lane Ranger 10,519]

Kevin , Yes I think this two piece transmission plate idea is a way to make your three piece transmission model Wheel Horse come alive again if your three piece transmission fails.  Will require modification of the clutch rod but a neat idea! 
 

Rodney Burger now has this in Florida as I have it to him.  He has several Suburban tractors and some may need a better transmission.

That's pretty cool

Started to mount the winch on the back of my 312 8.  I will be using the solid rod mounting brackets originally used for the bagger.  

[pfrederi 17,169]

Nice day so the snow horses got put to bed for the summer. Zero use on the blower, half hour on the rubber chain paver plow..maybe 2 hours on the main plow and some of that really wasn't necessary....

 

 

[Ed Kennell 35,916]

Beautiful sunny  70F day here in SC Pa.     It really didn't need it, but I did the first mowing of the season.    I used the 417H with a 48"SD.   The KT needed a shot of starter in the air cleaner inlet pipe, then she fired right up and ran great.

 

Sorry no pics.

Original or electric??

I am going to send you a message in a few minutes.  Will you please check your messages? 
 

Thanks

[Pullstart 59,846]

I checked the oil and topped off the gas on Stormy with the FEL.  I can see now that if I move the loader back, I’ll have to figure out a different way to open the hood.

 

Now that the fluids are happy, I’ve got some actual work to do!  Progress to follow...

[Pullstart 59,846]

I am not great at running the loader, but things like this will give me experience.  Experience will give me skills.  Win/win!

 

 

[Ed Kennell 35,916]

Wow, i'm still dizzy from watching that .

[19richie66 16,971]

Making some fuel tanks. Wanted one for the for the 953. May as well fabricate while you self isolate.

Firstly i built a new Toy to crumble the Soil.

 

 

Therefore i mounted few springs on the forkplatform.

A testride show‘s it works perfectly as planed.

While i do the crumble, i see again the tip of the Rock witch has killed my Tiller and i decide to remove it.

 

So i decide to increase Seattime, with the Beast, because i still needed excessive use of the Loader

to diggin the Rock out of my Field.

 

 

Diggin 45 cm deep into Soil around that Rock to remove it.

I nearly forgot to take any Pictures of this Action, but i do remember ( nothing is happen without evidence)

and do a Picture while refilling the Area back.

I missed to take a Pict of the Rock, but i have to react quick - it was a huge thing with about 35cm in diameter.

Our neighbour Sepp come along with his huge Fendt and pick that rock to trash it somewhere into forrest.

 

after refilling i mount again the Plow and do again pull rows into soil.

Plow Day - the second.

 

Weather plays along with 20deg. and i was able to enjoy my Seattime today.

 

Forecast tells here - some Snow shall be up at tomorrow.

 

👍

[19richie66 16,971]

Nice I like the springs. Going to make one of those myself....later.

[Tractorhead 8,612]

Hi @19richie66 

 

i came up with that idea, because my tiller is actually out of Service until i get the Chainlock to fix it,

so i searching for a smart idea to crumble the Soil otherwise.

 

It works pretty nice but i think it needs the heavy weight of the Platform to dig into Soil.

This Forkplatform weights nice 40Kilos, that‘s a heavy Thing ( just to give you an idea about)
