Tractor will run but runs rough, might be valve seat. Started running rough one day a few years back while mowing. Parked it and never worked on it. It has sat for a few years and I put some gas in the gas line the other day and fired right up with new battery. Will keep the wheels/tires in the pics and replace with other 520 wheels/tires. The frame was broke when I got it due to the heavy 5' deck. I welded it back up and is good now. I mowed with it for 5 years afterwards and frame is still good. Everything else is original. Im just not good with engines.

sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors

Thank you sir! I’ll sure do that as soon as I get a chance

Nice looking Horse! Sometimes a leaking rear axle seal can indicate other issues. Jack up the tractor, remove the rear wheels and see if you can move the axle hubs up/down, side to side. Any movement more than a tiny tiny amount can indicate worn axle bearings and or axles. New seals usually don’t last if the bearings are worn. In an out movement is ok

Whats the breakdown on the numbers that lets you know that? Like to learn

All right everything that you guys have mentioned I've already tried my fuel cap is cracked so I know it is getting vented I don't think there is a screen because when I first got the mower the rubber grommet was dry rotted and was leaking fuel I pulled it out in one piece and put a new petcock in it so I don't think that's the problem all my hose clamps are tight on the fuel lines what electric fuel pump would you guys recommend

Eb is right on, it's a 1976 and yes it was originally a C160 8 speed

Here’s a pic of the data tag. Any guesses to the model year? Hard to see in the pic but it reads 61-16K801-03173 6311

Are all the fuel hoses new. New hose is soft and will seal on the nipples. Hard hose will likely leak and allow the fuel pump to suck in air at the nipples. And the same will will not allow fuel to leak when not under vacuum so makes it hard to diagnose. The fuel pump will suck air if it gets a chance because it is easier to pump air than fuel. Air can be compressed and expanded so a short vacuum pulse from the pump just plays with the air. The pulse does not have enough duration to pull a bit of fuel with it. That is why electric pumps located near the tank are a good choice. Most of the fuel line is under pressure. It is normal to see a fuel filter half full but they should never go empty. At half full the inside of the cartridge will have fuel in it at the filter outlet but you can not see that.

I picked up a complete tractor only to find that the engine is seized. Now I have never had to work on one of these and looking for ideas. I did pull the heads, sprayed the pistons with SeaFoam penetrating oil, put the heads back on and letting it sit.. any oth

Fuel tank cap vent may be clogged. Try running it with the fuel cap loose. Screen in the tank may be clogged. Pull the line off at the tank to check for free flowing fuel. to the

I'm giving Penetrol a try on this and I'm okay with it so far. I'll let you know what the verdict is after a few treatments -
I have a wheel horse 520 H my problem is something to do with the fuel I have put new fuel lines on new fuel pump and it seems like it's not picking up fuel because I've got a clear fuel filter On it it will stay half full then it seems like once it gets warm I lose fuel in my fuel filter I don't know if it's getting too hot and evaporating but I had bowed all the cooling fins and stuff out I just took the float out thinking that the float may be stuck but I am out of ideas need help

I sold a house in 1994 that had a GFCI outlet outside on the patio next to the garage door. The new owner rented from me for a couple of weeks as their previous house sale closed, then we closed. They called me that the plug on the patio kept tripping and they had a electrician replace the plug and breaker and wanted me to pay for it. I went over after the fact, to find that had a deep freeze sitting on the patio plugged in where the GFCI had been, so it no surprise the GFCI tripped. Amazingly the licensed electrician (their friend) removed the GFCI and installed a regular outlet and installed a 20 amp breaker in place of the 15 amp breaker on #14 wire. I pointed out the error, but they brought the bill to closing and made a fuss. I paid it but made them sign a letter that I was not responsible for the change they had requested to be made. Really had to question that electricians knowledge.

I’ve got a nice headlight bucket. PM me if interested.

Looking for a headlight assembly for my newly acquired C-160. I was told when I bought it from the original owner it’s a 1977 model, don’t know if they’re year specific. Any help is certainly appreciated!

The oil level should be below the dip stick housing. Should be able to remove it with out leaking oil.

Nice haul. One of the local hardware stores has a C 160 with a snowblower and a C 101 with a deck on consignment. They want $1,500 each. Nice looking tractors, but...... -

Thank you everyone, I sort of figured that it had to come off, now for the next question will oil come out if you take said fill tube off without draining engine oil? Thanks

Was debating stripping the hood completely, but I'm glad I did. There were hundreds of little rust bubbles under the paint. All clean now and red oxide primed. Also I have looked for several days for my generator belt brackets. So I just made a set. Once I get them installed I'll probably find the originals. And I'm strongly considering using an electric fuel pump. I have for over a month now played phone and email tag with Newandoldparts. I'll decide tomorrow...
