I plan on using atv tires to plow snow as I’ve done in the past and had great luck with

Some racehorses are staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. “In the last 15 races, I’ve won eight of them!” Another horse breaks in: “Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!” “Oh that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28!” says another. At this point, the horses notice a greyhound, who has been sitting there listening. “I don’t mean to boast,” says the greyhound, “but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!” The horses are clearly amazed. “Wow!” says one, after a hushed silence. “A talking dog!”

Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone!

So another question... I havent looked yet but according to the internet pulling the snowblower or other attachments off these things is real easy. Is this true? If its easy it would be nice to maybe use in other seasons for towing my little yard cart around. I usually use my quads but they tear the yard up lol

September 10, 1897, a 25-year-old London taxi driver named George Smith becomes the first person ever arrested for drunk driving after slamming his electric cab into a building. Smith later pleaded guilty and was fined 20 shillings.

Why did the man stand behind the horse? He was hoping to get a kick out of it How do you make an appaloosa? Shake the tree

Nice tractor ! Looks like some one up graded your dash to a newer style. Not a bad choice, the lever throttle & choke are much more user friendly than the push/pull style.

An engine may also run fine under no load and then have issues as it's actually "working" and visa versa. All of my big blocks have an intermittent blip with no load but are fine with the hydro engaged or in gear moving.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Lee1977 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Another thing to check on the PTO if it's cutting is the C-clip on the out side bearing on the short shaft. If it comes out of the groove you can't keep it adjusted. I have replace the c-clips and the short shaft and out side bearing a couple of times on my C-120 in the last 49 years. - Today

Throttle cable sheath position in the clamp Determines throttle lever action for full throttle & max rpm. Thank you to ri702bill for pointing this out in another thread. I do not see a procedure in the service manual for this. -

Governor-arm adjustment Must be done - properly - prior to starting the engine. This prevents over-revving the engine on startup. Thank you to ri702bill for pointing this out in another thread. -

Thanks for your input! I already did it. -
Welcome! That is a rugged old worker that you have there.... Just an observation - AG tires are not the better choice for snow plowing. There are special "X" style chains available, but pricey. regular cross link chains tend to fall into the valleys between the cleats and end up not effective, Turf tires, filled with the proper fluid and full complement chains have worked the best for me. And a set of wheel weights make a difference too...

You are off to a good start. You will know if you need to reset the radial position once you start it. The other variable is the throttle cable sheath position in the clamp. it determines throttle lever action for full throttle & max rpm. -

The key is definitely a fuzz off. I'm thinking that slight bit of movement let the flywheel come off easily. The crank is fine but I see what you're seeing there. I just went out to double check but it's just the camera angle.

Keep in mind, those settings in the manual are the initial settings or preliminary settings to get it started and running. They are not meant to be Gospel for every engine There is no specific amount of turns that will work for every engine. Those factory specs are so it will start and run. Then final adjustments should be made. EVERY engine is different so adjusting the carb afterwards to that particular engine and that particular carb should always be done. Engines and carbs wear over time so adjusting the carb to each particular situation will "dial it in" so it runs efficiently. I know a lot of people will just set those turns of the jets exactly to the manual and call it good but then skip the important part about making the final adjustments because it runs.
