I spent the little part of Friday I had working on the barn cleaner. I pulled apart 2 corner wheel assemblies and pressed a new bushing in 1, the other one has a few chunks busted out and I didn't have the right size bushing for it so the new plastic wheel went in. Pressed new pins in the bases too. We've got an extra base, and we had an extra wheel untill today.... Was gonna try to do a 3rd one this weekend but I can't now because we don't have an extra wheel with a good bushing to put in it and I ain't going back to work until Monday.
Thing that really sucks about the 2 we got left are that they are both outside- in the nice frigid temps. The 2 I worked on today were both inside and right next to each other.
I made the pins myself, and I ordered the bushings from McMaster-Carr. Only about $7.50/each vs. around $20 from the Badger dealer. Corse now we'll have more than a couple extra bushings if the one is shot and we gotta buy a new wheel. $110 for cast iron and about $175 for plastic. Gotta see how the new plastic one holds up before getting more but I think it'll do just fine. Can bore it out once the bore is junk and press a new bushing in that one too.
I also gotta finish putting the weatherbrakes on the 165 and 285. The one for the 165 is a NOS MF one made by Femco. Custom fit, and still has the MF logo on the side just like the old one for our 285. I got the main part mounted, just gotta install the doors yet. Not putting the windshield on that one because it's got the loader on it and we gotta fit under the barn cleaner slide yet. Tire chains can wait for now...

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
