The rumours are true: Jay has wood!

Congratulations! That is sweet!
I'm looking for a shredder for my 123.
Not that I really need it, but making coleslaw will be WAY faster!

I like the cab too!

LOL! This post was a work of pure fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Hey thanks Dean! Good to know!

Nice Dave! Way beyond my pay grade!

Not what I did today, but what the heck, we can do a lot when we put our heads together! Some pics of a gasket and bolt change on the K301

Hi Jay!
Nice collection and welcome to the forum!
Looking forward to more pics,
Mike

Yes, spring is just around the corner! (That's what I tell myself as I cry myself to sleep these days lol ). Glad you liked the photos Tom. I checked out the thread you suggested, and I thought about making those same changes myself. I find the scraper works fine as it is for loose material, like th...

Not today, but what the heck, who couldn't use a little IH power: me pulling out old junipers, cement deck footings, and some scraper work.
Enjoy!

Such a cool build! Thanks for putting up the pics!

Nice!
Call Mr.Plow! That's his name! That name again is Mr. Plow!
I love snow removal!
Here's some from me. Have blizzard. Will travel. Slowly.

My pleasure!
Went out and blew snow again, as we're really getting socked right now.
Worked like a charm! (Until the new ignition coil I had installed suddenly died and left me stranded in the middle of the road.
And then it snowed harder! lol)

So I found that the backlash in my angle box was too much and decided to tear it apart to see what was going on. Upon inspection, the gears were starting to wiggle back and forth on the shafts, so I decided to address it before any gear damage occurred. I bought new input and output shafts and keys,...

I always like those snowblower shots

Nice! lol

Those are some excellent points. It's definitely something to walk away from when they're being stubborn, and for what new Allen keys cost, well worth preventing the aggravation. In addition, using new set screws (which I did) and putting a little blue loctite or nev-r-seize on is some good insuranc...

The V-Bar?! I thought they closed that place down after all of those strippers came down with the Clap! ;) lol Thanks for the input guys. We had some more snow today so I got another chance to play around. The Carlisle ag tires I have on the back are super stiff, so I thought I'd check the tire pres...

Thanks Paul!

Thanks! Yeah it's kinda weird; that little bit of pressure makes all the difference in my clutch engaging/ disengaging. The starter pulley/clutch basket was new from Kohler and had a lot of paint on it, and then I painted it yellow too, so I'm hoping that once that wears it will allow the friction d...

Hi Folks, The release fingers on my 123's PTO clutch were worn out, so I decided to rebuild it. I had a parts clutch assembly and with a few new parts, I made one good one from the two. I like the overall design. I think it's cool that it's an actual clutch. But there is one big drawback as they get...

Hey, thanks! I hear ya. I would have preferred the plug style, but this aerator was on sale so I couldn't pass it up. (It was about half price). I over seed every year, so it should work well with that.
I checked out both links, and well done! I love to see people's creativity!

Thanks for the input Tom. Makes perfect sense. The only concern I have yet is how my paved driveway will hold up. I guess it depends how much air pressure I would be running and how I work the speed control lever (e.g. more spinning = more potential damage.) Have you heard of anyone having success w...

Yes, it is hard to find the space. If only I few extra feet on each side of the driveway. But with the blower I can pile it up at least, as long as we don't get hit by another storm soon. The pile down my the road is almost 4' high. A dozer blade would be fun too, but I just don't have anywhere to p...

Here are my pics of 2022's Class III Kill Storm. We had ~40 cm in less than 12 hours. It was a whopper for us. The 123 and the QA-36 (with freshly rebuilt gearbox) performed well with the exception of traction. I had a helluva time backing up my drive way. The Carlisle ag tires just didn't cut it on...

Hmm...good question. I don't have any good specific ideas unfortunately. It takes people to take the time to catalogue stuff, and then share it, so it would take the right individuals on both ends. Plus there can be issues with sharing and publishing stuff (e.g. costs, copyrights, etc.) I'm a newbie...

Thanks! LOL!

Sounds good to me. I'm a classic VW owner, and I see a lot of info like that shared across several websites.
