Turned out Nice , Denny ! -
Looks fantastic to me. To heck with a paint job, you took care of all the important stuff! Very nicely done sir! You even found OEM Kohler engine parts. Awesome!
-
Exactly correct. It's yours, and that is that. I think it looks great. You did a nice job with the paint!

Happy Birthday 953 Nut

Happy Birthday @953 nut!!! -
I pretty much got it finished up this week. A seat from Matt Castagno, I added seat springs so made a new steering wheel shaft and raised the steering wheel. New decals from Terry and a new headlight lens. A nice original paint tractor with a few added touches. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
-
Assembly went pretty easy, all new wiring, new switches & lighter.

With the warmer weather I was about ready to start reassembly. I bought a tranny kit from Lowell, had to find good pinion plates for the differential, mine were cracked. Got the tranny together and bolted to the frame. I decided to try the thrust bearings on the spindles so I had the front axle machined for that.

I ran into all kinds of problems with the engine, the block was cracked, the replacement needed bored and all the other usual stuff. I finally found what I needed, had the machine work done and got it back together a few weeks ago.
-
A few months ago I got the tranny apart, found some nice gears to replace bad ones and had to get a new pulley for the 5/8” input shaft. The hub on front of the pulley needed turned down to allow belt alignment so I had that done and then added a couple more set screws to help hold it in place. I also added a second drain plug to the tranny case.

I thought I might play in the snow with this tractor so I picked up some weights and a very nice blade.
-
Looking pretty cool !!!

Last fall I found a decent set of 5.50 front tires, I got all 4 rims cleaned up, new tubes and a coat of Miller’s tire paint and got those ready to go. I was also able to make any repairs to the tins and frame before winter set in, the lower steering shaft was replaced and I had new bushings installed in a couple lower supports and added a zerk to the bottom bushing on the support I used on this project. I got the motor generator refreshed, while it was apart I drilled & tapped new regulator mounting holes to move the regulator terminals a bit farther away from the gas tank then filled the original holes with epoxy.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Rebuilt the carb after the parts came in and reinstalled it. Cleaned the gas tank, installed new fuel line, filter, and shut off valve. Went to the local gas station that the net said had ethanol free gas. They did. $5.80 a gallon. Went to Walmart, bought a 5 gallon gas tank, and went back. Once I got home and put some in the WH it was time to check operation. Turned the key and it cranked, and cranked, and cranked until the battery wore down. Stuck the charger on it and started looking to see why it wouldn't start. 🤔 Low and behold I forgot to plug the new harness into the new fuel solenoid.🤦♂️ Started right up! I did not shut the gas off because I want to see if the new parts took care of the previous leak. -
I thought the idle mixture screw felt a little loose maybe there was an o ring to snug it up.
-
This tractor needed a lot of repair or replacement parts so I met up with a buddy who supplied me with most all the parts needed to put a nice tractor together.

@WHX??that’s a good idea

That's pretty cool find to go along with a cool tractor.

I picked up a well worn 867 several months ago. Took it apart to determine what I had to work with and started a list of parts I’d need to bring it back to life. I Found the matches under the fender pan.

Brake seal on an 8 speed transmission

Yes, but that might not be an issue by the looks of it. It might come off without too much of a fight. -
Happy Birthday Richard,
