Contact with the governor arm is a big problem.... Go under the lowest cooling fin stay behind the governor arm make sure it doesn't contact at any point in its motion

The pony tail narrows it down to two guys. -
Well I said it wasnt bent but I failed to take into account I have no point of reference to compare it to, really. The 312H here has the same kind of steering, they look about the same and the same angles. I'll have to pull the wheels and post some pics to get some input. I'd go on and try to bend them but I'll show ya what they look like before I make an expensive mistake.

2026 Wednesday Night Parking Lot Party
Pullstart replied to stevebo-(Moderator)'s topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
Chambersburg Walmart is a great spot. I usually park out by the Walmart gas station, and nobody bugs me. Most Wally worlds say no overnight camping, but they allow 24 hour parking. Take it as you wish. -

Does anyone know where to spend the night at with a motorhome and trailer? We were thinking about maybe trying to make it to this but not knowing where to spend the night at, we weren't sure. -
You guys helped me out last year about upgrading tires.lucky for me that I took your advice. I purchased carlstar all trail 23x8x12 tires. They worked unbelievably well. I have since purchased another wheel horse 314-8 and would like to upgrade the tires for this as well. I noticed on Amazon they have 23x10.5x12 tires from Hoosier wheel that look very similar. The carlstar are 272$ and the Hoosier tires are 161$.hate to cheap out but at 111$ difference it’s tempting. also had plans to attend the big show on Friday . But the forecast is likely looking like rain.Thursday looks much better.is there anything going on then or should I just go Friday and dodge the raindrops?

@nyquil junkie nice pice up ! personally would not wash it down , would give it a penetrating oil soak down ? that will let you preserve a patina perfect era , look . done a lot of this, method in paint recovery sent . do it in phases , experiment , also like valvoline 10-30 VR1 , flat tappet oil , extra zinc , helps break down engine varnish , that clogs rings and valve varnish deposits . that lighter oil , will really help out your introduction to it , lots I would personally do to it . that pto lever set up is a gold mine for FUNCTUINAL DETAILING , pto cone needle bearing , easy to clean out , and lightly re grease , with lucas XTRA HD green, chassis grease , 550 deg flash point / polyurea rated , like to spend a month on that , touch everything, thats about what it takes , pete

These extras are the same size, they have tires on them. Musta not been for that other tractor. But, I checked the spindles on it, they dont look bent. Not saying they aint just sayin... they dont look bent. I will probably get a set of adjustable rods and call it good. The reason it didnt start is the nice young guy who had it said you turn the key, it does nothing. he put on a new starter and a new solenoid. Several solenoids. Same problem, he was mowing, it shut off and in the garage it went. One owner, gramps bought it new. Looks like nobody ever molested the wiring. So, Ya jump the starter, it starts. If ya touch a hot wire to the S post on the solenoid, it starts. I assume this means either the ignition switch is bad (I'm gonna check that later) or a safety switch is bad. I think it only has 2. Shouldnt be too hard to run down. Instead of me searching for parts do you guys have a fav vendor who has all these old/new replacement parts or equivalents? i could just bypass all the switches but since its electrics are all seemingly correct and original, why ding its future value.

Yes but I might have the same problem as mine is basically the same layout as a C120 but my hose routing might be different due to not going to a tower mounted valve.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and putting some names and faces together. And thanks to the site admin and the WHCC for making all of this possible. And Mr Pond of course. Such a great community. -
With help, I was able to identify the mower deck (05-48SC01). Then I was able to obtain parts diagrams and numbers. I got the parts I needed. Thank you

Ok I’ll bring it to the show and keep an eye out for you -
Both of those are a serious problem. My experience shows me that the very first thing you need to do is get a proper throttle cable on there. The exhaust will melt the cable casing and make it so the interior will hardly move through the exterior. Also, the cable being against the governor arm is preventing proper motion of that whole system.

@Blaine I do not have that push rod -
Ok, so problem sorted. I had the back wheels already off the ground in anticipation of the bleed process but I noticed when I lowered them that an air bubble rose up in the resevoir. Inspired by this I raised the front and this instantly drained the resevoir. It was then just a case of feeding in 3.5 litres or so of oil a resevoir at a time until it took no more and then the bleed process went through without a hitch. A new lease of life ....

Perfect. Thank you. This being my first show and not knowing any names or faces, if ya’ll keep an eye out for me on Thursday, i’d greatly appreciate it. I’ll be the old bald guy with a ponytail in the Bahama Blue 54 F100. I’ll be wearing my matching “show shirt”. -
They will work just fine ,only raises the front about 1" with 8" wheels. I have two 312-8 with 6" spindles and 8" wheels.

Neither the newer Kohler or the Predator compare the the one you have, get it running and you'll be better off, "Just Do It".
