Also, be sure the throttle cable clamp is keeping the cable jacket secured.

@cafoose what are you using for grease in those bearings ? do any of the related pulleys , whine . with engagement ? the more hot sun deck time the better , prop mine right up to longest time of day , good to finish the season , with a final cleaning touch up and oil soak , then propped up to a wall stud with a screw in eye bolt , heavy extension spring , make up a big S hook shape from 1/4 " steel rod . , mine are 8- 10 inches long that will let you , very easily prop up and secure that deck , with bottom side out for regular inspection status , been doing this for many years now , with no problems at all , glad you are doing something , pete

1984 GT1100 plow parts diagram
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to billythegoat's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
This is the blade sold back in 1984 for your tractor but any blade from 1973-2012 for the long frame tractors is basically the same so you could have one of many. -

Been a while since I posted here but I ran into an issue. Recently my daily mower that was a lil toro 8-32 bit the dust so rather than getting a replacement this late in the mowing season I just decided to put my c100 into service which I only ever used for knocking down high weeds or pulling a leaf sweeper. I rebuilt the motor and transmission in 2017 and I never had any trouble beyond needing to clean the points every spring. Today I was just about done with my 1 ½ acre yard and the engine began racing to the moon on the level and bogging terrible on gentle slopes. I was only able to finish mowing by barely giving it any throttle as the rpm kept increasing and was only controlled by the effort of mowing. As soon as I'd exit a run the rpm would skyrocket if I didn't throttle down completely.

857 A day early but if I don’t do now I will forget by tomorrow. -
Took the 1257 (Vince) out for a drive in the wilderness today, after replacing tie rods with some homegrown tie rods.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Made another set of tie rods and mounted them on th ol 1257 (Vince). With the thrust bearings under the spindles, new tie rods and the larger steering wheel its like having power steering . -
Any updates on this?
-
Is everything put together right in here? The springs are in spring bind and if I go out any further they'll rub on the motion mechanism. I'm wanting to fix this before my new cam plate comes in/gets installed
-
It's in the sun, I used some drain oil, regular grease in my grease gun on the bearings.
-
@cafoose what did you use for oil , lubrication ? did you prop it up to the sun ? the more direct sun time the better . glad you are trying something , pete

Welcome! Got a model number for the plow? That would allow you to search in the Manuals - Implements section for the Exploded diagram & parts list. Is it a simple 1/2" diameter steel rod with a 90 degree bend at each end?? If so many of us (myself included) make a better version using a straight piece of 1/2" round stock and thread the ends 1/2-20 for a pair of Heim Joints. MUCH smoother feel, no slop.

Masking removed and tires aired to 12 PSI.
-
Doing an @peter lena oil soak in the hot sun and greased up the bearings.
-
Definitely agreed.

Accurate

That was years ago. Back about 7 or 8 years maybe?? She bought the one we had been using. It was a beast as well. 80s vintage commercial splitter that was modified by a local logger for splitting the butt ends of lower stumps. Trina's daughter will get that now that Trina has moved up to the dual action splitter.

Looking for part # and where I can purchase the "blade control rod" for my 1984 GT1100 wheel horse. It broke off during last year's snowstorm and finally now getting a chance to prep for the coming winter.

About to buy a Wheel Horse Work Horse GT 1100, any advice???
billythegoat replied to Mike333's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Ive owned mine for 6 years and it being my first wheel horse has not let me down for dirt/snow/everyday mowing activities. Mechanically speaking it has been a good machine. -
Got out there this morning and found some numbers. It's an HH35 3.5hp engine. Thanks, Dave

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
lynnmor replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Don't forget the grommet, gasket, seal or whatever it's called today, that seals around the oil filter. I know that you are aware of that but I thought it might be a good time to remind others in this crowd. I do wonder why the oil filter is so far from center of the opening, it appears that the tins need to move back. -
Wire wheel in an angle grinder and a random orbit sander with 320 grit sandpaper on it. The paint was poorly applied by wheel horse so it came off fairly easily.
