What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

 Finally got round to replacing the exhaust valve in the C-125s engine. Valve ground in, tappets set and head replaced. May get round to fitting it tomorrow if it stays fine.

If our fire insurance companies visited us right now, I'm sure we would be canceled.

Hopefully your insurance agent rides on a green machine and doesn't peruse this Wheel Horse site!

My insurance agent  has a mowing service, just us peons mow and use little tractors. 

Do you think he would understand those of us that actually ?

This is what working people do:

I had actually thought about mentioning that many agents use mowing services in my original comments.  I know that agent that I have been supporting all these years hires a service to mow her BIG yard in front of her HUGE house.  Years ago when I had access to wood and used wood to heat our house, I had a wood furnace that I burned hedge in.  It was hot and made the prettiest white ashes.  Nice warm heat especially when compared to electric heat pump.  I like your wood splitter emoji!

  Fitted the engine back in the C-125 this afternoon. I have solid spacers instead of the rubber anti vibration ones. The original ones had succumbed to age.

  Now twice the front RH  bolt has broken. Hi tensile cap heads. This made me think that the wobble plate, being of pressed steel, had a bit of a twist. 

  Suspicion proved correct. Bolted down the front bolts and the plate had quite a gap on the LH side rear. The RH side rear also had a slight gap. Just thous'. Nothing to bother about. I found a washer that was a good fit in the LH gap. Cut a slot in it and inserted that. Hope fully no more broken bolts. Time will tell. Still got all the bits and bobs to refit.

Now that's a quit screwing around snow rig!! 

Thanks eb, hoping the extra 300 lb on the rear will help with the wheel slip. Doesn't look like anything snow-wise to challenge it in the next two weeks.
