great video. if i were you i'd keep it. fun to watch you work on it. i'd like to see your set up for the outside sandblasting sometlme. check the rubber boot that goes over the shifter down to the transmission. a new one could help keep water out. thanks.
The outside blaster set up is a still a work in progress. Works great sometimes, and not at all the rest of the time lol! Good idea about the shifter boot! I was actually wondering if a late model auto cv axle boot would fit the bill!
There’s a couple of things I’d do differently. That engine oil looked so bad I probably would have run diesel in it first, then oil to flush, then final oil. There’s gotta be more sludge in the bottom. Also, I would always pressure wash the entire machine before starting, just to get the majority of the dirt and grease off so it’s nicer to work on, plus you can see more of the details and issues ahead of time. In this case the fuel tank area and battery tray would have already been clean.
Really digging the channel and content. I was a huge wheelhorse fan. Me,my dad, and my granddad had them. Now just remember my experience was from the late 80s. My local dealer was always a pain in the ass back then. I think mine was a 314. It had transmission issues. Went to my dealer and i wanted a service manual, i fixed it without a manual. They wouldn't sell me one because they wanted to repair it. He was a real dick. After that we all bought 3 new john deeres and never went back. I really like wheelhorse, but we never went back to that dealer. They are still in business selling toros but ill stick to my john deere. Hope to see some more wheelhorse vids on your channel, keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the kind words! I got bit by the wheel horse bug a couple years ago and haven’t looked back! I’m extremely grateful for guys with a passion for this hobby because almost every repair/service/parts diagram can be found online free of charge nowadays !
Typical short sighted, narrow minded dealer. Helping out locals in any way benefits everyone. If he’d sold you the manual he would have had a parts customer and referrer for life! Some people just don’t see the big picture.
Levi, I have some questions for you. Are those Carhartt overalls? What model or number? Was that the chrome color metallic paint or aluminum? The number would help. I really like it! I’d probably forget about staying purist restoration and paint the whole tractor like that! You’re doing a great job on that tractor!🚜 👍
Hey man I'm new to your channel keep up the great work and I gotta chevy man it was meant to be I also have a 1991 Chevy but mine is the k1500 it's my favorite truck
Just a thought, Levi-after blasting the paint off items,I like to use primer before painting... I like to spray old tires with trans fluid to limber them up...
LOG...please just relax...your channel is great!!! I know being the best RU-vidr is important to you. But your natural, down home, cold snack personality is the reason I keep coming back...please don't change anything...!!! How about some stickers??? Like a cold snack riding a wheel horse??? Just saying!!!
