c-series don 8,148 #28 Posted January 20, 2018 I think we all know that you can never have enough indoor storage. I refuse to leave any of my tractors outside (except parts tractors) I have 15 Wheel Horses and I'm basically out of room. Although if a nice unmolested C-141 automatic came along I could probably squeeze it in!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,349 #29 Posted January 21, 2018 Things to check after inquiring a used WH tractor. First is the tab holding the front axle pivot pin, it's usually broken. The next is the transmission mounting plate for cracks, they are a lot easier to fix if they haven't cracked all the way across. Next would be the steering fan gear they can be shimmed to fix loose movement in the steering. On all models with the gas tank under the seat check for cracks or broken tabs under the front of the fender where the fender mounts. These are a few things that show up in used WH tractors from use. The cracked transmission mounting plate comes for hard used with the snow plow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What fun is that? I spent a good while last night and after church this morning hunting for my torque wrench.

19richie66 17,081 #44 Posted January 22, 2018 It takes me a couple turns and several high steps to even get to the back of my shed. It’s an acrobatic dance. Just hope you don’t forget something and have to go back out or you have to do the dance all over again. I have slowly been tossing stuff out.

Ed Kennell 36,468 #50 Posted January 22, 2018 I thought I took a big step in cleaning up my shops. I took over 1200 lbs of scrap metal to the recyclers on Friday. The problem is, the shop doesn't look any different. Now where can I find a couple rollers to spend this $193 scrap money on? 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
