C-145 Auto electrical problems
rmaynard replied to Kid with a wheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
When replacing the key switch, did you replace it with the correct one. There is a difference between a switch for a magneto ignition, and a battery ignition. However, you said you replace the ignition coil and the magneto coil. There can only be one or the other. A magneto system has no ignition coil and vice-versa. So lets try to figure out what you have. Do you have the ID number for the C-145? What is the year? Which engine does it have? Do you have the spec number from the engine? I'm sure we can get you going if we have the right info.- 1 reply

Ah, yes, the unmistakeable lingering fragrance of 90 weight in the drain pan & on the parts! BT, DT. -

Surgery, no... transplant, yes. A much easier task when dealing with an early one pedal short frame tractor. To switch yours, you will fill a coffee can with fasteners & small parts - not counting the small trophy fiddely-bits inside the Unidrive... -
Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !
PeacemakerJack replied to Sparky-(Admin)'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
leaf cleanup begins 2026 it had been a couple years since we last ran Comanche ( @Coulter Caleb’s 854) and so we got it out, dumped the fuel, cleaned the fuel bowl, fresh fuel and then fun! Zach loved driving the little tractor and I was reminded that is seemed like yesterday his older brother was helping with the same work and he was riding in the trailer they grow up quickly this guy looks right at home on the 62 year old tractor then big brother stopped by unannounced (I love it when he does that)! Zach asked Caleb if he would drive him across the backyard for “old times sake” (I’m not crying…it’s just the dust from the leaves🥲) - Today

The Spacex stock will be placed in "Trump Accounts" which are IRAs. Rolling it into a Roth would be a taxable event if the owner had enough income to warrant it . Presuming a child's income is below the standard deduction rolling it into a Roth would not be taxed and allow the value of the stock to grow tax exempt for ever (or until the government figures out a way to tax them). Had to throw that in there for your cynical side.

Gotta open her up just to entertain us, we all need a little tractor porn to start the day. We want to see Mike up to his elbows in gear oil and parts and pieces. -
1054 (953) Hydraulic Unit Rebuild
953 nut replied to 1054 Project's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
I have done a couple pumps with good results, the key is not getting the cast iron too hot and cooling it very slowly in the sand pile. With that said I can understand your hesitance to try it. Your , your choice. When I bought my first 953 the replacement springs weren't being made and the hydraulics worked fine so I just did as you suggested, run the lever by hand. Thirty something years later I am still running it by hand without a spring. It works well and nothing leaks after six plus decades and all is good.- 10 replies

1054 (953) Hydraulic Unit Rebuild
1054 Project replied to 1054 Project's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
This sounds a bit risky to the casting and maybe beyond my skill/tool sets. I may just throw it back together without the return spring and operate it as before by manually returning to neutral.- 10 replies

My 855 came to me with one of these on it. I'm not sure how to set up your pulley at the engine since the K181 is pretty different from the 10 and 12HP engines. I will say that the hoses from WheelHorsePartsandmore are a little problematic with a manual transmission. Unless I remove the shifter knob they interfere with being able to use 2nd gear, and are still hair short, meaning I had to do some abrasion mitigation at the edge of the fender pan. The originals were hose crimped onto brake line and much thinner than the ones Lowell sells, which is why his can be an issue. The originals were also not built as robustly.

Resto For My 1979 Wheel Horse B-111 Tractor
Alan173 replied to Alan173's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Well - ok. After planting over 50 trees carrying 5 gallon buckets around 2 acres to water was getting a bit old. Here is my makeshift 'Wheel Horse Watering Station' with parts I had lying around (no laughing). Please note the rubber liner in the dump trailer so everyone can be assured that no vintage Wheel Horse parts were harmed during the contruction or operation of this device. Works great. Another excuse to keep the B-111 rolling this fall!
