What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

You probably won't want the smell of it for a while, but that will pass. Time really does heal but some things take longer than others. Been there and done that. -

Back in the late 70's my brother was convinced that pro wrestling was legit, so I got tickets to an event in Portland. I tried to explain to him that it was fake. During every match he was telling me they hate each other and that's why it's so violent. After it was over we went out to the car and lit up a doobie. While we were standing there the wrestlers came out. They were all walking together and laughing. We heard one of them say "let's hit the bar and spend some of that money we made off all those fools". My brother never watched pro wrestling again. -
Making good progress on the 420. A LOT of hours into it at this point removing the paint on the sheet metal. If WH had used primer it may have come off a little easier ? on this series tractors.Letting things set up before reassembly. Hoping to have it somewhat ready for the September Meet & Greet. Those chrome mylar decals take some patience to remove.Some before and after pics.

Congrats on the retirement! to that world of doing nothing if you choose to do so. I was planning on retiring this year as well but then had some health issues recently which threw a wrench into the plan.

Scored this today at a local auction. I've managed to avoid painting any of my Wheel Horse stuff so far, but I'm pretty sure these didn't come in yellow, but I don't see any traces of red either. Pick it up Saturday so I can take a closer look.

Yes I do, there is a bit of metal shavings under the engine, I'm thinking it might be the PTO clutch

drilling and nuts might be a better solution but i do not have 2 good hubs any more they all have a piece missing around the bolt holes. also after 2 attempts i am looking for a more robust newer diff. does any one know when the 10 pinion unit arrived and what tractors it could be found in? I think they would be the same for a manual or hydro.

Not sure what carb you're showing and I'm (definitely) no expert but it looks like a fixed main jet. Off-center is fine. Spray up through and you'll see where it dumps into the body (no emulsion tube). Spray back down from the top and clean it as best you can. Looks pretty clean. Your issue is likely float adjustment or the seat on the jet (on the left) not seating and overfilling the bowl which is flooding the intake. That could have been from debris in the bowl. How did that look when you disassembled it?

Where are we buying new carbs and fuel pumps for Kohler K series engines now that isavetractors is shut down? Or, where are we buying rebuild kits for original carbs and fuel pumps? Anything out there these days or are we stuck with lower quality ebay and amazon parts? My old WH 314 k321s has been giving me trouble all summer with power loss in tall grass or under heavy load and now will not start. New condenser, capacitor, points, spark plug wire, and spark plug installed last year. It seemed like it was starving a month ago so it got a new spark plug (again already), air filter, fuel filter this year, and the carburetor screws reset per the manual after the new air filter and it ran great. I've double checked all electrical - continuity is all where it should be regarding my bypassed safety switches. I noticed my clear plastic in line fuel filter seems to be holding a little more fuel than usual. I'm left thinking it must be the fuel pump, I'll pull the hose at the carb tomorrow and see if I'm getting fuel when cranking. While I'm at it though, I have to assume this is the original ~40 year old carb; I've never replaced it since I bought the tractor in 2011 and maybe the float is bad. I've always bought my parts from isavetractors, but now I'm lost. I've read about the plastic fuel pumps on amazon and ebay, ugh. What about carbs, does anyone sell quality stuff like isavetractors did? Thanks in advance.

Congrats to both of you! any big plans Jim @SylvanLakeWH or Mike @squonk ? I’m creeping up on mine. Hard to think I’m getting old enough that it’s even on the radar. Two years ago I felt like I’d never want to retire as I enjoy working way too much. But about that time my company went to a four day workweek and now the taste of freedom beckons. I still put in a ton of hours every week but condensing it into four really long days feels great when the three day weekend comes. CONGRATS Steve

I’ve never heard someone complain for having too many tie downs. This will allow most all my tractors to have a tie down over either or all tires, or front to back or crossed. I like it

The problem here is getting a dry enough day to burn. We just got 3.5" of rain over the last two days and the entire summer has been this way. -

Might be a tad bit optimistic on your pricing...... -
Do you have the tension spring installed ? ( #15 )

I finally got some seat time today. Cut a dead tree down and hauled it to the burn pile. Maybe one day it will be safe again to burn it. -
I sure wish there was a video! LOL I order snake skin molts off epay to use for rodent repellent. Works pretty good

I gave the wrong sunstrand modle #. It's 90- 2046 hydro gear. My bad .

you may be right I just assumed but ya know what that leads to sumtimes.
-
I believe (I could be wrong) that you have the 8-pinion diff as opposed to the 12 hp that had the 10-pinion L/S. All are good IMO though

I borrowed this pic from an older thread and hope the original poster doesn't mind. Just when I thought I was done with hub caps on my 520H came across this pic. Think I might just have to try this but was wondering what/if the hub caps are worth anything unmolested or are they pretty common. Hate to paint them and someone be wanting a set. Opinions......

That's accurate
