What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
c-series don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I cut a plastic water bottle in half and slip it on the bottom of my grease guns as they hang on a nail. The bottle fits snug enough that it doesn’t slip off but loose enough to allow any liquid to seep into the bottle. Problem solved, no more drips on my work bench! Poland Spring bottles seem to fit perfectly!! -

I can’t get enough of seeing that train.When I see that locomotive it makes me proud to be an American. I wish I was standing there waving our flag as it rolled by. Imagine the sense of pride the people operating and just being a part of that must have. I’d love experience that. God Bless this great nation of ours 🇺🇸

Howdy Re: 1979 Kohler 10hp K241AQS, Spec 46740d, Serial 9883128 Re: Jacobsen garden tractor model 1000 with M/N 53201 & S/N 13722 Curious problem. Looking for feedback So I'm mowing the lawn at full RPM with PTO engaged, and suddenly the engine RPMs drop down to idle and stays there until I throttle down then throttle back up again which gives me full 3600 RPM but just for a short bit. Am I on-target by saying that the plastic Governor Gear is missing a tooth or teeth (P/N 47 042 02-S)? This would mean that I would have to pull the K241 - Ouch!

Choke on the left makes more sense. Parts diagram shows it as a toggle kill switch on the left, which probably isn’t correct.

@Retired Wrencher glairing at me ? years ago , in addition to , insuring cable lubrication , regularly add a medium pull strength extension spring to most advantageous LEVERAGE pull to close cable stop point ? have added small trim of perforated metal , for spring to close pull point . like super lube hydraulic oil , check temp range . every one of my throttle / choke set ups has this simple mod , initially you don't even see it , but consistent functionality , lets you know its there , paint it red / black , it disappears. most important part of referral ? you are looking right at it . dare to improve it , pete

Amazing how many young guys I see on base taking up smoking…with the info that’s out. -

I've never had a grease gun that didn't seep the separating grease as it sat on the shelf or hung on the wall. I'D LOVE A LEAK FREE GREASE GUN. Excellent video. -
I found what I was looking for in this picture.

Ok after much research I found this. This the end of the gov/ throttel control. This what I am looking for. This group “13 Any buddy have extra one.It would be a big thank you.. Or if you have the hole assembly I would use that also. What ever you have.

choke (L) , throttle (R)replacement knows ( from PO). What I like about them, is that the added rubber washers, probably in response to losing a (multiple) set(s). The vibration while running tends to back them out, until eventually they fall out.

deck bracket bushing and e clip?

My ACE Hardware has flanged bushings and E clips in the pull out drawers. -

The 1/2" E-ring will fit a 7/16" groove in a 1/2" shaft. The rings are stamped so one side has rounded edges and the other is sharp. Install the ring with the sharp side facing away from the bushing for more holding pressure. The sharp edges have less chance of being forced out of the groove. Correction - I had it backwards - fixed it. -
I could use a bag of donuts, or at least one this morning. Onan parts are going to be very high priced and the labor cost for machining a two cylinder engine will more than likely be higher than the cost of a replacement engine. The big question is "what will you be doing with the 520?" If it is for general running around and light duty stuff a Predator Engine from Harbor Freight should do the trick. Also, will you be doing the work and do you have the tools and skill set to do an engine swap? You may want to consider the Honda V Twin from Repower Specialists. https://repowerspecialists.com/collections/wheel-horse/products/wheel-horse-520-with-onan?variant=6979132817431

Check out the mule drive pullies. Be sure they spin freely and are on the drive correctly. If you remove the nut (takes a 1 1/8" wrench or socket) you can check the order of the pullies. Between the guard and the flat pulley there is a spacer and another spacer between the two pullies. The shorter of the two spacers needs to be between the two pullies and the long one between the guard and the flat pulley.

Interesting little machine. Those front rollers on the deck will probably be a deterrent, since they will be pushing the grass down where you won't get as good of a cut.

You may be better off repowering it with a Vanguard engine....

Not around here!! The local Lowes fasteners section is an absolute joke. The drawers resemble a campsite after being raided by a bunch of feral rabid raccoons. And the local Home Depot "streamlined" their selection to about half the size it was 2 years ago.... marketing genius I guess. -

To answer your question, no. Lol Here’s a must watch. -
I just re-configured a 32” 64-65 Lawn Ranger gear drive to use on my 401 to replace the one i had been running for the last 10+ years that was pretty beat. I was amazed how quiet it is. I thought the belt was seriously slipping when i first engaged the pedal, but it was just that quiet. I use the red “tacky” grease on the gears. Check the cross shaft for axial play. It should be minimal. Maybe .020”- .025”. On my 702, when i bought it and finally got it to the point i could mow with it, i noticed it wasn’t cutting well on the one side. I found that the one cross shaft gear had a sheared woodruff key. Once i replaced the woodruff, the cross shaft wouldn’t turn. I found that the gear spinning freely on the shaft had smeared the shoulder of the shaft where the gear butts up against, so when the nut was tightened, it was pinching the bearing towers between the two gears. The shaft is 3/4” and the bore in the gear is 5/8”, so basically the gear rests up against a 1/16” shoulder on the shaft, so don’t over-tighten the nut or it can damage the shaft. I ended up making a .020” shim with a 5/8” i.d. to fit behind the gear. In hindsight, i could have made it .030”-.035” and shimmed out a bit more of the backlash at the gears also. I think there is a service bulletin on thicker thrust bearing washers for the blade shafts to minimize gear noise on some models also, but if you have excessive axial or radial play in the cross shaft bearings, i’d start there. If the gear nuts were over-torqued at some point, or a smeared woodruff, the shoulders on the cross shaft may be damaged, resulting in excessive axial play of the shaft which results in excessive backlash at the gears. Cross shaft tower bearings 1630-2RS Blade shaft needle bearings B1212 The threads in the aluminum(?) bearing towers on my old deck were in rough shape from numerous belt changes. I swapped out the bolts with longer ones and whatever combination of washers needed to grab ALL of the threads possible in the towers. Maybe inspect the cast housing closely for cracks also. I’ve cracked 3 of them over the last 28 years. They get really noisy when that happens. They break across these same two holes. I added some bolts that kept this one mowing for a few more years.

Getting a 1/5 scale RC running... It's like a tractor ... Right?
MainelyWheelhorse replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in non tractor related discussion
Yeah, most of the people who run trucks this size have a Zenoah with four bolts which seems to last and perform better and longer. I have some experience with the Traxxas .33 nitro stuff. It’s cool and goes good once you get it tuned right. But once you get to the 1/5 scale stuff the lack of constant fine tuning of the weedwacker/chainsaw sized gas engines compared to nitro is much more desirable. -
