I would wonder if there was a difference in what you can get away from between single cylinder and twin cylinder oil grades.

Thank You. I see the difference is mine has 4 pinion gears and the other is 8 pinion. Nothing wrong with mine right now, just a little seepage. I was just curious. I wonder if the 7235 can be retrofitted at rebuild.

I like how you think sir!

Well we got about 2 inches of sleet. I'm not complaining because our power stayed on and we're safe and warm. Had the generator and alternate heaters all staged and ready but we didn't need them this time. Luckily very little freezing rain for this area. I'm very thankful! Temps will stay below freezing for the week. Roads were brine sprayed but they are now solid sheets of ice. We got plenty to eat so we'll stay home and wait it out.

Maybe a 2 or 3 sided "dog house" type structure. Maybe wheels on it so it can be moved and or turned easily. They sell little generator cover thingys too but... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=generator+covers+while+running&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1311

Being locked in was boring (not that I'm complaining) so I put this lady back together, and fired her up and readjusted the hydro cam. I didn't take it for a drive yet but I will in the next day or two. I absolutely love the new height of the steering wheel. I also can understand why Wheel Horse came out with reduction steering. Might be a pain to mow with, but I like it regardless. She needs a bath, but that can definitely wait...

12v defroster. Don't believe some of the pics with fire coming out of it like it gets real hot. It was just a quick search. 150-200 watts isn't much but mounted on the roof and pointed at the windshield it works for keeping the fog down. Connect to the switch so you don't leave it running by mistake. https://www.ebay.com/itm/306627065285

Is that just one of those little 7 A-hr sealed lead acids being used to crank a generator engine? I had no idea they could push that much current. Any specs on that little guy? I did a quick Google search and found a few that show they might be capable of 70A. Those terminals don’t look sized for prolonged cranking. steve

6/8 speed question

The 5091 and 103907 don't have the 7235 spring. -
At the moment (10:15) PM Sunday) there's about 7 inches (measured) of new snow on the driveway, and a bit more on the lawn, which is hard to measure, as there was already snow on the lawn. It's still snowing steadily, but it's nice dry snow so far, and not much wind (yet). Instead of plywood, I dug out some sheet metal that I had stashed in our garden shed to use as a temporary lean-to over the end of our backup generator. It appears to be keeping snow from building up against it, but I'd like a more permanent solution. Perhaps some kind of metal shed over the generator with adequate room around the generator for servicing and meeting any code clearance requirements, as well as providing enough ventilation. Some fireproof acoustic material could be added to the interior, not that I'm all that concerned about noise, as it would only run during a power outage, and it's over a hundred feet from the closest neighbor's house. Or maybe some kind of metal semi-open snow-break fence with staggered slats and a 'roof' of some sort. I'll have to do a bit of research, including calling my local code enforcement officer.

I have a 1976 B-100(61-10K801) with a broken rod. I am in the process of repowering with a 16 HP Kohler. In researching the transmission on Lowel's site I find it has a 5091 transmission with a 103907 optional. Same transmission options up to C-160 that year. My question is does only one of the transmissions have the 7235 spring for poor man's posi, or is there some other difference? My other question is, what is the difference between the B and C series in 1976. Looks like only decals and headlights/tail lights. Thanks in advance.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Last night I replaced the transmission drive belt with what I believe is the proper one P/N 7473 on my 417-A. Today I took it out to blow the driveway and it worked fine for about 15 minutes. Then I heard a noise and knew something wasn’t right, so I headed back to the garage. I found the belt had jumped off the pulley and was wedged between the transmission and the pulley. I’ve never had this happen before? There’s two different part numbers given for that belt, I want to confirm this is the correct one? As I was investigating this problem my pager went off for a mutual aid fire call. This was in the height of the storm, to a neighboring department. A department that rarely calls for our help, stating a garage and multiple structures on fire. I am one of the senior members and truck drivers so I was the operator for this alarm. We actually had to follow the town snowplow to get there. The young man in the passenger seat got on the siren, so I yelled at him and said you idiot do you want me to pass him so we can get stuck and not get there? He apologized and I told him in this case slow and steady wins the race. We didn’t get done until dark so my driveway will have to wait until tomorrow, I wasn’t going to have trouble with the tractor in the dark with it still snowing and sleeting. That’s me in the blue coat, I don’t wear turnout gear when I’m driving as I find those big clunky boots unsafe to drive with. IMG_4058.mov -

Flew some parts and red for 520 FEL fuel pump install. Some slight mod to the pump mount it goes right in existing holes. -

Sorry, I keep posting the same tractor…first pic was sometime this morning, last pic was this evening. Snow is still coming down -
It was 5 degrees today, so I use 5W30.

Could not handle another day of boredom so I decided to warm the shop up & do something. Took a bit to get it from 7F to 60F but once there I was able to get the sheet metal blasted. Started the filler work on the hood. It was littered with several dings.
-
That is kinda what I had in mind. I never knew WH made such a thing. I assume there is older front tine tillers across the pond like there is around here????

This afternoon at 4:00 my snot rockets were hitting the ground already frozen. I don't know what that is in degrees, but it's cold.

I got this at the show about 8 years ago. NIB. The vendor didn't know what it fit. So I googled the model number and found out it was an XI cab. I adapted it to my 416. Got it very reasonable since she didn't know what it fit. I only ever had an issue with the Isinglass windshield one time. Snow changed to rain on me and visibility was a little foggy inside.

I don't know if Wheel Horse exported the WT-30 tiller but you might want to search for one. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/1885-tiller-30in-1960-wt-30-om-ipl-snpdf/

Don't forget to give the girl on the wall a beach towel to keep warm or she won't have a cold beer ready for you when you come in after blowing & bladeing. @c-series don Say hi to Lucy.

repurposing a used tiller seems to be the less expensive solution. A 6 sided belt and some pulleys like a mule drive can eliminate a 90 deg gearbox but more difficult to lower the gear ratio.
