Used this on my tractors with a top mounted hood latch. Works very well, and is surprisingly durable.

As a rule I prefer not to use tape on anything that carries oil, but I have used it in fuel lines. Just be sure to allow a thread or two at the edge to be free of tape just to keep it out of the system. Liquid sealers work best in my opinion, but the same rule applies to keep it out of the tip so if doesn't get into the lines.

856 Wheelhorse Electrical ignition questions
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
This older Kohler service manual covers the starter/generator - it is not in the newer manuals The 523 page Demystification Guide explains the electrical basics followed by many wiring diagrams for later models. -
Agreed 100%. Every 42SD deck I've seen looked the same way. Just pull all that hardware off, beat it straight, reinforce the deck shell and you're good for another 30 years. Best to cut that rust out completely and weld in a new piece before reinforcement. Just my opinion, because everything here rusts like crazy.

wheel spacers
Larry Chamberlain replied to Gregor's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I had the chains on the tires when I tried to install them I went with the 1 1/2 ones then went to advance got 7/16 lug nuts and had to order 7/16×20×1 1/2 grade 8 bolts still waiting on the bolts -
Evening, While in the the process of figuring out various issues my 856 has, the new Wheelhorse ignition I ordered will be arriving this week hopefully.. can someone recommend a good book that’s simple to understand about the process of electrical system as it would relate to our vintage tractors? Ohms, amps, volts, how to calculate how many amps ignition can handle with certian number of wire devices - lights ect ran to it, regulator workings, generator working, ignition ect. Possibly an online video? But enjoying physical book as well to the me break from being on my phone so much.

No did not use any sealant or tape on the threads when I installed it. No current pictures. So between Teflon, permatex 2 and anaerobic sealer recommendations.. any one stand out as better performing for leak stoppage or all the same result just pick your favorite ?

Even Wheel Horse has P.I.T.A service points....

Since it ain't all shiny on that break, it appears like someone "loosened" it for ya! That's why it popped right out. When an opened end wrench is turned too far on that lock nut it wedges against the case. So it appears like the last person that tightened it down went a little too far and cracked the hardened screw. Lucky you (Pun Intended) found it. -
Deck repairs?
Brockport Bill replied to bo dawg's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
so can i conclude based on your comments that a deck bottom could be cleaned in the winter --- then apply oil - then bring into heated garage and point space heater at oiled deck area and that the oiled deck surface would interact with metal just as if it were heated in the sun? -
Yes! Thank you, this is precisely the info I was looking for.

ya gotta love that photo of the 145 blackhood with the black and red paint against that fresh white snow -- although i must admit the photo of the 85 blackhood with the sharp looking rims on that sweet looking green grass looks pretty handsome also

Dang it! You got me on that one Mike! 😂

Good effort for the right reason. Makes a stuck rear hub look easy... -
Scroll to right on the second link, there are pics of the adapter. You would probably be better off mounting the newer style front attach a matic.

Oh Don, they do say it’s the mind that goes first ..,it’s a C-85 But yes on the wheels, will be factory color or close to it. No gray or black like I’ve done before.

I have switched to using anaerobic sealant on threaded fuel & oil fittings. I've had much better luck with it.

That’s going to look nice parked next to my (whoops, I mean your😜) C-125! Are you going for a linen white wheel color? Let us all not forget Mike also has a really nice C-125👍🏻

You won't have to change the lift handle and the electric clutch will work with a newer deck/mule drive. I think your tractor already has the lift rod like the one pictured?? That will work, or you can use the ferrel thing, can't remember the correct name, with an eyebolt and some chain just like the newer tractors. WH decks are floating decks, the lift handle just raises and lowers the deck. As far as mounting the mule drive, Wheel Horse made adaptors that I think bolted to the frame to mount a newer mule drive on that style tractor. May be kinda htf,but I have seen them on here for sale. Or @daveoman1966 has pictures and explains how to mount the newer mule drive bracket on the older tractors. Pretty simple to do. Finding the mid mount part of the attach a matic shouldn't be a problem, and I believe it is a bolt on. Really enjoy your YT video's !!
