Hey HEY!! yyyeeeaahhhh. I got nuthin....

Cole hersee 24037bx @squonk certainly has good point on the rusting. That Echlin part is a good replacement as well. I like the Cole Hersee solenoid specifically for the "old look" and our mo-chines are all under cover 99% of the time.

😆 Someone actually thought of that and made a cut out for the latch . Hope your weren’t popping wheelies when that happened. -
Awesome pictures! I saw your truck fly by me on the highway on the way home. I tried catching up to see who it was but you had the hammer down!😂. Now I know who it was. 👍

Thanks Richard !!! -
Maybe it was used to raise the seat pan to run some giant tires on the back, to go with the “racing” stripe.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Picked up this two piece seat for cheap money at the WH Show. She’s ugly! Some gloss black rattle can and leather repair tape (lots of tape!) and she’s ready for service. Not show quality or anywhere close to it. But nothing so permanent that I couldn’t replace the seat back and seat cushion if I wanted in the future. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Haven't done much since snow plowing. But it was the time of year to mow and clean up the woods behind the yard. Had a downed tree to clean up as well so the chainsaw got in on the fun. It was hung up some so the 416 got some pulling fun too! -
After piddling with my recently acquired 520 for the past few weeks, I gave it a test by mowing some 8”-10” gras/weeds at a nearby lot. The 520 pulled right through it and did a good job. Right now I am happy with this garage sale tractor. Going to order a seat cover until I find a better seat.

Is the top of carb worn at the shaft, but the shaft in the bottom hole seem Ok?? If that's what you have you can go down to your favorite hardware store (Ace, etc) and in all those Hillman drawers find 2 Hillman #58087, 1/4" i.d. x 7/16", o.d x 1/16" thick bronze bushings. Tap these in the recess at the top of the carb around the shaft. if the shaft fits tight in them, hand ream them with a 1/4" drill bit. As mentioned the chinesium carbs are hit and miss roll of the dice! One of the problems is they are selling one design carb to fit a 10,12,14,16 hp Kohler. The original Carter carbs had a different throat for each hp. My experience is one aftermarket carb on a 12 hp had good idle but no top end. The same carb on a 16hp never could get a good low idle but ran good at top end. Also most aftermarket carbs need to be disassembled when you receive them as they are dirty from manufacturing. One other note, most have metric threads on the adjusting screws so the number of turns the Kohler manual tells you to set them typically is not correct. With all that said I have one aftermarket carb on a 12hp that runs good and 2 in the junk box that iI ve stole bowls and floats off of. I seem to recall @WHX?? has had better luck with the aftermarket carbs on the smaller 6-8 hp Kohlers. Maybe because they don't have as much throat difference between them.

Its a home made bracket for the seat pan so it can tilt back to have access to the tool box it works but sits high. maybe someone was a midget and needed to sit higher on the seat ? or to fit over sized tires on it . The rear fender pan is missing the ears. Someone sure did put a lot of time in welding it up that’s for sure . never know what you may find on these old tractors. -
Go with the Napa ST53. The metal ones are the same inside and the steel can rust.

Here's the 701 I had. Sold it in 2019. For some reason this tractor gave me more fits than any tractor I ever owned. The best one was when it was running perfectly at the Steam Pageant and I was at the farthest away from my spot and it just died. Had to push it a couple of miles! The float broke into several pieces!

@Razorback haw easily does that deck move , BY HAND ,at the engine belt to mule drive set up ? regularly refer to COLLECTIVE DRAG with any deck set up. personally like the R/D decks for freer flow , also have removed all related baffling around blades , spindle areas , to me they are , rot boxes , all my decks look like this , add / clean out change to lucas green grease to every related spindle / pulley bearing , polyurea rated 550 deg flash point , the spin up ease is totally different from the original set up , also no bearing whine , also never burned out a clutch disc , 3 decks like this , no rot , noise or squealing spin up . many years in on this , look / work the same , pete

I figured it out .Its a bracket for the seat ,goes under the rear fender pan. Not sure if it’s original,I don’t think so but I’ll look into it further. -
