I am working with my County Youth Services to conduct field trip for disadvantaged youths to visit my tractor collection. I hope they will gain some knowledge of equipment and history, but most of all I hope they have a good time. It's probably not likely that any of these young men or women will become tractor enthusiast, but it is a opportunity for them to get away from their problems for a while. I'll let them drive and operated some tools in the garden and explain the working and use of the machines to them. I sent a video to the director to give them an idea of what to expect.
 
 

Finished the driveway weed removal and gravel redistribution. Wow, that's a long driveway. Most of the weed removal was accomplished by hand and hoe, glad to finally get some seat time on the D160

Good article to read. I see were they suggest that sellers "absorb" bad transactions like they are made of money. As an Ebay seller I posted that if something was not paid for by a person intent on defrauding me that I enjoyed long road trips with my baseball bat and some time in county lockup. Have had no problems.

I don't think bearings are supposed to look like this and in my manual I could not find grass on the parts diagram

The middle spindle bearing were shot (an understatement), the others are probably worn badly as well. I got thee center spindle out and apart ready to install the new bearings. This is my fourth deck, the Bolens 1256 1476, and Wheel Horse D160 decks are done, I'll be making one good Allis deck out of the other two parts decks I have as well. That should give me ten running tractors with decks. and I have two more coming up in the queue to get decks under them, The Homelite T16H is running and has a good deck under her, I just need to finish the rear lift rod. The CASE 224 needs reassembled and the deck is already completely restored

Learnt something useful there and it makes sense too.  Cheers

There is also one of these in my collection, but it's escaped the camera till now.
Mine is the 1HP version, the carb and aluminium cylinder plates were missing when I bought it.
I would have thought the original owner of the pump would have chosen the pipes/primer for their intended use when new.

Just arrived today - a fully restorable Electro Flow Pump. I wonder where they got that name? The pump's rubber primer bellows is pretty well petrified, so I won't try to move it! I recently finished restoring an Orline hedge trimmer, came out pretty good.

well explained thanks

That show, like most American reality shows, is a huge farce. The producers stage 90 percent of the dealings on that show by negotiations prior to the taping. I break the ice as well as anyone, in 5 years I have found this man old Bolens tractors he wanted, an OH160 engine for his wife's tilling tractor, and mountains of technical manuals he had lost or were destroyed from his days as a dealer. Some people are self centered where they actually believe the world revolves around them, he is one. This guy has four 100 foot barns full of stuff, ten 53" foot semi trailer cargo units full, and still refuses to budge on anything. I don't have a problem with that, but he constantly asks people to do things for him by promising to let them in on some deals they want, but he never comes through. I keep telling people it wont happen, but many still bow and curtsy to him for the hope of a tiller or tractor. One day he will pass and there will be an auction, most stuff will bring scrap pricing. I won't be there, he has nothing I need or want anymore, I went out and found it elsewhere. It is what it is, and you reap what you sow. I don't feel bad for helping this man, I would do it again for another, but not him, not again. There are quite a few guys (couple from GTT) that I have either given stuff to or priced very, very low, because I believe it's the right thing to do, but these things must be a two way street.

you need to break the ice like they do in american pickers
 

My Wheel Horse D-160 was enlisted to clean up edges and redistribute gravel from the crown to the ruts. Using the blade on an angle took care of the grass and edges. Starting with a path down the middle to pull down the crown it allowed gravel to fall into the ruts. I paid 330.00 for the box blade, 100.00 for the front blade, and 400 for the tractor. The front wheels are 3.75-10 steel wheels with a 4 ply 5.30-10 tire with tubes on a 4 on 4 cast iron trailer axle. The rears are 7.5-15 inch 5 bolt Wheel Horse rims with a 27x9.50-15 Duro Frontier tire. I could load the box blade clear to the top and still maintain half speed.
 
 

buying him ale, scotch, tickets to the game works, lol

the dump cart was same colour as the tiller  these weights fit the ST rear wheels on the outside and they fit  GTs ,tube frames, QTs and XLs on the inside

the guy i bought the tiller had an st160 with the belt powered side mulcher fitted was in nice condition but he uses it  so not for sale he had a bolens dump cart that he nearly sold me but then he decided it was to useful shame
