Here's link to the thread on the purchase / clean up...
-
I have a B-80 with a Walbro carb. Picked it up non-running and got her going... carb is now leaking, primarily from the bowl... Trying to find a rebuild kit. Checked with K&B - no go. Anyone have a source / link? I am told there were three different brands for carbs with some years ago to year switchovers... Appreciate any suggestions.

Art Imitates Wheel Horse
SylvanLakeWH replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in non tractor related discussion
Recent plow day posts got me thinking, maybe it's time for a single bottom plow... I defer to @Achto, @Pullstart and @WHX?? for technical critique, however please note the plow and coulter wheel are fully adjustable... Brinly model provided for context... -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

I will try harder..Sometimes spell correct is not kind. 1. The 314 runs great 2. The c160-8 has a replacement carburetor and once the linkage from the carb to the governor shaft is complete, it should run great as well. 3.The c-160 auto is backfiring through the carb. I would call it a cold backfire with no flames coming out of the carb. if anybody has a recommendation on replacement carbs for these machines from eight to sixteen horsepower, i am all ears.. What i did learn yesterday was to test the fuel pump before servicing the carburetor. I keep hearing from guys like Taryl fixes all that repop carbs work well if you find the right company. But these guys are fixing newer machines than the K series Kohler is used on. .

Do not. I repeat... do NOT.. put the head battle maid on this tool. Ever. -
Just an FYI.... Stabilizer does NOT negate the effects of ethanol. Simply a matter of time. You did well.

Thanks for all the tips I did remove and clean the tank new line and fuel filter I took the carb off will clean it tomorrow I have been using reg gas in it since I got it 8 or 9 years ago never a issue I also start it once a month when it does not get used and always add stabilizer to the gas I will see what happens this weekend when I put the carb on Thanks

Popped my first transmission
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
No, she was full and there was no water in it. I’m sure it was me pushing this 4 pinion- 1” axle unit harder than I should have. And I have been for years! Plus it’s over 40 years old so things happen. Blame is all on me, but I’ll go shopping for a new tranny and maybe have it all back together tomorrow ready to get back to work. -

Oil looks very good so that is not the cause I would think. -

Says its private can't see it -
The inattention of the PO ... the only reasons I bought it was that it had a gray, low hours service replacement K181 and I already has a disassembled twin to it minus the engine. Everything that was removed & reassembled to swap it was either done poorly or just flat out butchered. But, it actually ran !!

Had a chance this morning to get back to this rig. Trans is out! Fuel line is old and showing cracks in the rubber so that’s also going to be replaced. Drive belt is new so that’s staying. The brake band was a new one from Bob @rmaynard and it’s still like new 6 or 7 years later Amazingly the tow hitch came right out! -

OK guys. Enjoy the video of my hand Actually I did this one just to get the audio. You can hear the noise much better with the mic pointed at the engine. I guess I should have pointed the camera the other way. https://youtube.com/shorts/AXHWx0tkOeI -
This is typlical of what I found thruout this C81 - I named it "Good 'nuff" after the PO's attitude to "fixing" things...

What happened there?

Happy ending! He turned 90 degrees from last blood and headed for cover. My neighbors came out to help track him and one of them just stumbled upon him tangled in the grapevine.

I agree, and I dread having to purchase another tractor. But I guess I've got my moneys worth out of this one considering I've had it 26 years. I do have a Deere 1025 that I have a front bucket and rear backhoe to do remove easily , but I have not heard any glaring reviews on the mower decks. I may have to start shopping around for a new mower

That's great news.....and good luck with the 52" deck. I have been looking for a decent 48-52" Xi mower deck for 2+ years. I bought a 52" at the big show this year with the hopes that it was salvageable, but it was well beyond repair. Its a shame because all of the parts on the deck were still in pretty decent shape, just the shell was rotted out. I spent last weekend disassembling it and cutting all of the usable brackets off of it. The shell was so thin I could push my thumb through it at probable 20+ places. All the parts are labeled in a storage bucket and the shell is headed to the scrap pile. Back to looking up parts in the New Holland system. I thought I had found a NOS 52" deck shell in their inventory a few months ago. I have a friend who works there, so I reached out hoping for verification. It was listed as 1 available, but ended up being an inventory error. I was extra sad that day. I do see them pop up occasionally, but I'm not willing to spend more on a mower deck than I did on the tractor itself.

Also check that you don't have this situation either!!

That looks like an immensely handy tool....for quite a few things I can think of. I may just have to weld up something similar for my own floor jack. Thanks for sharing -

Something like this may save the paint on your pretty wheels. Those 60+ lbs weights are hard to wrestle by hand -
Excellent point. Always do maintenance before repairs.

Sudden leads me to believe your fuel system needs to be cleaned and inspected. Junk in the tank blocking the outlet, a gas line with a crack in it allowing air in which the fuel pump can't pump, a valve in the fuel pump that is not closing. Before you spend money on a carburetor you probably don't need look over the whole fuel system. The carb is the final component in the system but everything before it has to be doing its part too. Cleaning the carb can't hurt but cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the rubber hose and a fuel filter don't cost much and should be done anyway. By the way, if you are not using ethanol free gas you should be. Ethanol will kill small engine fuel systems, use this link to find E-Free Gas. https://www.pure-gas.org/
