What would go into rebuilding those if needed? I would imagine just bearings if the housing and shaft aren’t destroyed.

I like pickles just about all different kinds. I do miss the Johnny Carson show, real entertainment.

Just looking at the good. OE mufflers, rare find Nice Wide plow, desirable Tires look fairly new Part of a three point peeking out the back, another nice find. And I am really digging those ammo box arm rests. just plain cool I think the first thing if you are taking the carb off is to fish around in the intake manifold for those missing screws. might surprise you and take off after a little TLC
-
That was kinda my guess. Thank you for your observations. You know more than I do. Thinking carb needle is stuck. Fuel is flowing into crankcase oil. Rebuild time for the carburator!!

If you look at the spindle identification charts the original spindle assembly for the 5-1011 was type K replaced by V, X and Z. The 05-48SC01 original spindle assembly was type Z. I would say it should work.

Here it is, post #1: -
Based on the forked motion control plate with out a cover on the lower fork and the parking brake under the instrument panel (just like my D200) I would say yours was model 1-0630 from 1974 Engine spec would have been 53105

Been a very long time since I have seen that picture. @Sparky Excellent

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
pfrederi replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I have a Gray KT17-2 also. same spec number (Wheel Horse) but by serial number 1987. Always figured WH ordered replacement engines to go in place of failed KT-17-1... -
I know the later model 42 and 48 spindles are totally interchangeable. Those all have the grease fittings in the top of the spindle however.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RED SQUARE !!! My Dad had 4 Wheel Horses and a small lawn bussiness when I got out of the Navy. He had a 502 (all there but in pieces), a 702, an 857 and a Raider 10 with a good mixture of attachments. I would help my Dad if needed, but as he got older, the bussiness dwindled to nothing. He passed in 2002 and it was up to me to go through everything. When I got to the shed, I considered myself lucky...my Dad never threw out anything, especially if it had RED on it. I needed help. I searched the WEB and found a Kowasaki site. A guy named Jon Bell got in touch with me and pointed me toward Red Square. Even on the old forumer site, all were helpful...finally had manuals, advise and I imersed myself into Dad's horses. The rest is history, this place has kept me alive and well. I feel like I know almost everyone here. I have friends from all over the world, I love this place. Happy Anniversary Red Square and Thank You !! -
Thanks to everyone who replied with the suggestions and the experiences they have had with this issue. Starting to soak the part with as much penetration oil possible and then begin to apply pressure to (hopefully) remove the hub without cracking the transmission . Stay tuned for more feedback and once I am successful with one wheel, I will proceed to the second one.

That was an awesome day @kj4kicks, secretly Eldon had obtained a C160 Auto (Just like my dad’s) and asked me if I wanted to do a trade for a C160 (in rough shape) for my Electro and one other which I forget what it was. Anyway, Chris and Mike came to my house, they knew what was about to happen, and we took my Durango and trailer to Eldon’s. When we got there, he opened the door and there sat one of the nicest C160’s you’ve ever seen. Eldon travelled a long distance, then painted the C160, it was a magical day for me. -
I’ve checked multiple parts lists and there’s all kinds of updates and superseding numbers, so I’m a bit confused.

What did you do today?

Prepping for winter, moved the mowing rigs to the shed and the plow rig to the garage. Seven machines (4 with decks on em) in my 10x20 shed! -

Heart beat replacement for the C175. Met up with Lincoln from A to Z and picked up this KT17 series 2. Most likely will be after the holidays before I get the chance to install it. Looks to be a 1995. -

I got new shims and gasket for the M12 that was leaking oil. Reinstalled the bearing cover and checked the end play, Made some dowels to hold the 4 shims and gasket. Shims were .003 and gasket was .010. Used longer bolts to pull cover in while I tapped on it with a plastic dead blow. Whet smooth until the purple wire decided it wanted in on the action and drooped in between. I removed it probably going to reroute anyway. I did notice once the plate was seated there was no end play, I tapped the crank with the dead blow back and forth a few times and that loosened her up. Total was .008 I checked it before I took it apart and it was .004. I did add the same number of shims. -

I was in the tractor scene and was pretty much a WH guy but would bring home anything if I could flip it for a couple bucks. Posted up on Craigslist a Craftsman lawn tractor and a guy named Chris from two towns over reaches out to me about it. We talked price and eventually settled on a number, then he asks if I could deliver it. Didnt really want to, but decided I would. Get to Chris’s house and he’s a “kid” ..I had no idea as we were using the Craigslist messenger system. He shows me his tractor stuff and he had a 702 (and maybe a Black-Hood?). We exchanged phone numbers and did a few other tractor deals and became friends. Fast forward to his high school years and he asks me to join a tractor forum he started as a high school project, had zero members other than himself. I became member #2. Left to right: Chris @whchris, me/Sparky, Dustin @DMESS , Karl @nylyon -
Proof that SOME of what women say about us is true... We never grow up. While true, I can't imagine being any other way. If I can't have a little fun in life (just occasionally), then what is the point? I don't stay in touch with my inner child. I AM my inner child!

I've developed and managed several forums (in varying platforms) back during the big online poker boom. I also made a living for a few years designing and selling graphic modifications for online poker sites like PokerStars and FullTilt. That became unsustainable when the US DOJ shut down online poker and the US. Since then, I've developed several websites for friends and associates (but still consider it a hobby). In all of my exposure, I will say with confidence, this is one of the best maintained forums I've experienced - so kudos to the admins! It also has the most respectful members of any public forum I've ever seen. The knowledge base here is incomparable! -

I had owned a few Wheel Horses prior to buying my GT-14 in 2012. It was my first hydro and I wasn't sure about a few things and Googled Wheel Horse GT-14 which lead me to a few sites. I posted my questions on three or four sites. Got a rater rude response on one of them, nothing at all on one, but on Red Square I received good information from a couple of members and a bunch of welcomes. What a difference. I began reading other posts and offering suggestions on some I felt knowledgeable about and learning from other posts. This has become my only internet GO_TO site and I want to thank all of the people who have continued to make it so great. -
Ok fellow horsemen and da ladies! I recently rounded up a D-200 with a blade at auction. I have been going over it. And think I've got the booby prize.🏆 First ...can't run the numbers as there don't seem to be any. As I recall? Plate was suppose to be below steering column? It's not. It does have a single brake on left side, might indicate an early model 1974? The steering column itself needs support badly! It's wobbly. The oil was overfull and I'm really worried about that. Wrong gas tank. Wrong oil filter. Two screws missing from air cleaner backing plate (hope not mashed by cylinder or caught in valve.) Hood was carved up. It pops off, but doesn't stay running. I have not done compression test yet or checked fuel pump. Plugs were sooty (valves)(missing screw) 🥺 This will be for sale eventually as I just don't have room and was impulse buy.

Any one know if the deck spindles are the same for the 42 and 48 inch SD mower deck. 42 inch (Model # 5-1011) is from ‘75 and the 48 inch is from ‘88 (Model # 0548SC01). They appear to be the same, the only difference I see is that the spindles from ‘88 have the grease fittings on top rather than underneath. My 42” deck is in poor condition but I wanted to salvage the spindles to keep as spares for my 48”.

I was somewhat OK with the overnight panic call - it gave me a chance to laugh at them... My wife, on the otherhand was furious if I got a work call out of my regular hours... (remember that I had a 100 mile daily round trip for a commute - my normal day took 11 hours to work an 8 hour shift).
