I have several Wheel Horses and several of all different colors/brands. The Forum has a section for "Other Brands" and the knowledge here isn't just Wheel Horse specific. I have an 8E in the barn to rebuild restore, has the wrong engine on it among other sins!
-
Yep. That was what had the sales guy so pleased. I thought the jump from 40 to 50 horsepower over the previous year--we lived in a pretty mountainous area--was more important.
-
Nice seat repair too
-
wasn't the previous 'gas gage' a reserve valve? You switched the valve to reserve when the engine stumbled as the gas in the main part of the tank ran out - provided you remembered to reset it to create a reserve the last time you filled the tank.
-
I vividly remember the VW sales guy pointing out to my Dad that the bug he was considering was the first year to have a gas gauge. Even as a pre-teen I thought “what the heck?"
-
Yup. A stick. That's what I've been using on my tractors and pontoon. I bought a calibrated stick from Steiner when I ordered a bunch of parts for EJ, the 8n. One of my earliest memories is watching my great uncle checking the gas level on his Chris Craft before he took us for a ride with a calibrated stick. I was maybe 4, 5, or 6 at the time.

D.B. Electric is a good place to start looking for a starter. https://www.dbelectrical.com/starters/lawn-and-garden/ A little over a half century ago I had a MF-10 with a snow blower and 42" mower deck, great machine.

Thanks Brother! Let’s see how it shakes out. I am fortunate, I live less than 90 minutes from the show. But 14 hours from the grader blade… I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness! Bests, Dan -
thank you Richard, I couldn't think of what those terminals were called to save my life the other day.

I have shared this before. I worked in a service station when I was in high school. We had a customer that was his own worst enemy; he was told by a relative that his engine was "varnished up" and that was the reason the lifters were clattering. Rather than coming to us to talk about it he went to the paint store and got a quart of Varnish Remover, do you have any idea how bad an engine smells after running it with that in the crank case! When we pulled the oil pan there was stringy stuff hanging from the oil pump pick-up and globs of gunk everywhere. I wish I had a picture to share with you. After we replaced the engine with a good used one we made him pledge that he would come ask us prior to doing dumb things like that again.

I was Dan but since Sparky won't make diesel come down to less than $100 a gallon those plans got nixed. I got a hold of him and going to go get it just to keep it from falling into the hands of the enemy. Yours still if you can find hauling help but we don't know of anybody from this area that is going. -

@Gasaholic found more often than not that VARNISH IS WHAT LOCKS UP AN ENGINE ? its a reheatable liquor , while still in its pre hardening stage , the hardening is what locks up / glues itself . would also , try a short 6 pt socket and long 1, 1/2" pipe on to a breaker bar , for a solid leverage advantage , personally think KROIL is the ultimate rust buster , $ but more than worth it , another thing about engine varnish , for years now been using adding rislone ZINC , to every oil change , specs on bottle , every oil change , none of my engines smoke , and run with total ease , would also use a 10-30 valvoline oil for enhanced , cleaning / flushing , wake up an engine slowly , SEPERATE GALLON of heavily treated fresh fuel , eliminate existing , hoses on tractor , thats another issue . brought back frozen engines , more that worth a try . zinc breaks down varnish , my oil changes are like coal oil , pete

Eaton 11 - Bypass Aux Ports on Charge Pump
Gibbs replied to Babbo's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
. . I have been looking at a way to bypass the power steering valve for another reason. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/72209-522xi-hydro-problems/ Starting at post #22 From what I have read it is not a good idea to do the bypass at the hydro pump as shown in your photo. It should be done at other end of the hydraulic oil lines near the hydraulic lift control and power steering valve. From What I have read the lines from the hydro pump to the front of the tractor help cool the hydro oil. -
