I started a lawn cutting business at age 10 with an 8HP Wheel Horse Hydrostatic Transmission tractor. Wore that out after about 5 years and purchased a Wheel Horse 8HP 4 speed. I had that business from age 10 to 21 when I graduated college. Paid my way through school with that business and those Wheel Horse tractors. Both were only 36" cuts but they did the job. I loved those things. They will always be close to my heart. Thanks for posting these videos as they bring back fond memories - Brian
As someone who has ran a sandblaster for thirty two years, I can offer you a little advice. Sandblasters are self destructive. Keep an eye on the wear and tear. It's much cheaper to replace a small part here and there, than to replace bigger parts, or have to fabricate things you can't replace. Also, don't try to push them too hard. It's easy to say, well, the more power, the better they blast. They also wear themselves out faster. Take your time, and they last longer. Other than that, they are a great addition to any shop. By the way, great content. I love what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
Hey, Levi! One of your first 100 subscribers! Great job for your first one! I always learn something new, even if it’s just a little trick. Sometimes I share stuff I know as well. We can all learn from each other! I never thought about a better way to pull cotter pins, but now I’ve got one. I have a very small hammer that will work perfectly for that. Thanks! 🔧👍
Those tires look great. Seems everyone has their own way of changing tires. The smaller the tire the harder it seems. Those wheels look like new. As far as I'm concerned, its an extremely good job Sir. 😊
Just subbed if this is one of your first videos it wasnt bad. I prefer build type videos but i heard from other utubers that shorter type. Just change a tire type bring more viewers. Good luck
I just saw someone use a spray bottle of Simple Green to lube a tire instead of the commercial stuff and it seemed to work just fine, plus it cleans up the tire at the same time. Win win!
In response to your questions in the description: length of video should be whatever it takes to cover the subject in depth. Your verbal descriptions are fine, as is the depth of detail. I’ll have more overall critique as I watch more of your output. I’d very much like to see an introduction video, complete with a detailed shop tour. Include your name, what state you live in, what you do for work and what experience or background you have for the type of videos you’re making, your family, etc. All of that gives me a better perspective on the channel. (I notice details, so I already figured out that you’re Levi in Indiana, but most viewers may not see that.) Some background on how you come to having this brand of tractor would also be nice.

That’s the best vice-mounted tire tool I’ve seen so far. That additional bolt to hold the rim in place is genius! Bookmarked that one. 👍
I enjoyed your video. I especially like NOT hearing music. I love music but not on TV and movies. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching ! I try to only use music when I need to fill a time lapse etc

Cool tool.
I love my Harbor Freight tire changer, it works 98% of the time without bending or breaking, every time!
Enjoyed the video thanks for posting!
I knew I liked you I see that blue banner in the background behind the vice 😂
Don’t know what you’re talking about ! 😉

Thanks for the kind words ! The small ones are always a struggle!

I think it was my first video. It’s pretty rough lol! Be sure to check out my newer stuff as well. Thanks for subscribing!
Great video. I have the 312-H version of that machine. Same problem with the throttle too. They were built to last for sure.
I've had a 312-8, but never the H model!

Wheel Horse from the Don Massini era were bulletproof

My local Tractor Supply in NJ has the front wheel bearings in stock in the nut and bolt department.
That is great information to know! Thanks for sharing that with me!
Great video
Sorry sir

But a split pin
