Hi I have a question I have that same tractor I have to hold the lever forward in order for the tractor to move same thing going backwards I know that not right any suggestions ??????
@tonyrollin402 Hi Tony. Thanks for your reply. There is a way to adjust the linkage. Also, it's important for any lubricant to be in the correct location. There are places in the linkage that MUST be dry. I'm not familiar with the procedure but please join up on wheelhorseforum.com. AKA Redsquare. My username is the same there. The site has a full set of manuals and a great bunch of people that are willing to help.
@lovesloudcars Hiya Nathan. My friend Jim with the "gun" is a semi retired plumber. My nickname is Bear. He's OFTEN giving me 💩 about it. We set this up for another one of our crazy 🤪 Wheelhorse buddies that lives halfway across the country... We'd had a Meet n Greet event. Good people having a great time and blabbing about tractors and other ...... stuff.
@Wheel_Horse . Oh absolutely. There is in fact a tradition of sorts that Trina keeps with her Momma. Every hike we go on she'll find a little rock of some sort to bring back. Mom has a shelf with several small jars of rocks now. 😀
Very cool. I had to look up what feldspar is. Interesting both in research and in the tour. Would be a fun exploration adventure. A little more dramatic than my 2 minute stop at the silage cornfield on the way home today.
@Whipple1 . None that we're aware of but of course this mine was active around a century ago. I'll be doing some interwebs poking and keep you updated.
I did a little research myself and I think there was some porcelain production going on in Maine in the late 19th and early 20th century but I can't find that again! I think the Langoliers are out re-arranging the interwebs every time I leave a page so I can't find it again. OK, just found this, not porcelain, but pressed glass. "Pressed glass manufacturers popped up in nearly every region of the United States. Here in Maine, we had the Portland Glass Company, established in 1863 in a four-story brick building on Commercial Street. Within two months of opening, the firm was manufacturing 5,000 pieces of glassware a day, and by 1865 it employed 100 workers. When it closed in 1873 - a victim of high materials costs and a national economic downturn - it had produced more than 60 glass patterns. "
@@Wheel_Horse Here’s some additional information: Fluxing agent Feldspar lowers the melting temperature of quartz, which reduces production costs and helps control the viscosity of the glass. Alumina source Feldspar is a key source of alumina in glassmaking, which improves the workability of molten glass, increases its hardness and durability, and makes it more resistant to chemical corrosion. Sodium feldspar Sodium feldspar can enhance the mechanical properties of glass fibers, making them stronger and more durable. This is important for applications where the fibers will be exposed to harsh conditions. Feldspar is also used in ceramics, glazes, enamels, paints, plastics, sealants, and adhesives. Dave
@lovesloudcars . Thanks Nathan. I got to counting later. We also have the Backhoe, Trina's bright red 1967, and SIX projects waiting.... along with a great selection of implements.
@Whipple1 . I've read that turning AG tires around on a PUSHED non driven axle makes the steering grab better. On the smaller tires like these I don't see much difference. On the bigger tires with more weight like Cinnamon Horse with the chipper it definitely makes a difference.
@ClydeTyme Understandable. I have no desire to run these Super Heavy loads either way. That's a LOT of machine to move. Extreme wear and tear would be a constant.
That's a strange thing about life - having to face that day some time in the future. What you said about your father's passing is a nice tribute. Hope you & your other family members can remember & smile & laugh about all the good times you shared together. - That's what makes life good Nathan
@lovesloudcars Yessir. Seemed OK. I haven't ever had this engine run for more than a few seconds. It'll be a few days before I get back to it. Hopefully once it's warmed up it'll go good.
@lovesloudcars Yessir. The sticks in the video are pretty small. Note where I had to pause just a couple seconds. I believe that's because the belt could be a hair tighter. On hardwoods maybe 1.5" or larger it takes a bit of care. Definitely need to get the screen back in to the underside too. Otherwise it's great!
@averagebogarage Thank you!! The rears are Carlisle Tru Power 23 x 10.50 x 12. The front, I believe are also Carlisle but a different type. Size 6/12, so they're almost the same diameter as the rears.. I use the large front size to give me extra ground clearance for operating in our very rough forest terrain.
@laurasteiner157 . Hello. Thanks for your comment. We got this one done about a month ago. All set and up and running. We changed the frame because the front axle mount was all twisted. This tractor used to have a front-end loader on it. It had been rolled over on its side, and it popped the front axle out.
@@ebinmaine ok ty for replying I just punched a 78 C121 hydrostatic for my 10 year old son I had a charger 12 hydrostatic when I was a boy it was my pride n joy
Nice! Good job! What was that noise like a train horn for a second or two? Anti-scalp rollers on the front of the deck maybe? Mine do that from time to time also.
I could not see what I was looking for but I could certainly hear It. It is funny how some of those little birds will make so much noise sometimes even go find a piece of metal to hammer on just to show off or attract the ladies.
You have to zoom in and focus right in tight on the mailbox so you can't see it. I couldn't get too close because I didn't want to scare it off... cute little thing. And loud.
She and I both still have a serious preference toward a manual transmission. We find them much easier to drive on our rough terrain. Usually 2nd gear about 3/4 throttle is good. Just let the clutch out and go. I do have a growing appreciation for the Hydro with hydro lift for plowing snow. We're looking at adding another Hydro for gardening work.
@Littrell1966 Really though... we kinda already use a foot speed control because our loader is a manual. We use the clutch to regulate forward momentum while scooping product.
That beauty really clips along. I added a steering wheel spinner to the hydro tractors I used to have. Made a big positive difference if the steering is tight. Dave
