Actually you get more out of it than you put in. Two young men eager to help and learn. Farm kids as a group seem more likely to be this way This is an adaptation of saving driving expense one of the sons did to save money driving to work PXL_20260921_145654044.TS.mp4 .

This is a good thing providing more lift for the blower. This will be a dedicated snow machine. Just keeps getting better...It's a Series II. Modified wheel weights.

Update My FIL called back yesterday - after my diagnosis we discussed where and how the tractor was sitting also what ( a lot ) needed to come off to complete conversion . Basically said it needs to be in my garage at my tools where I have what’s needed if and when something goes sideways . Minor repairs away from tools air compressors and electric I’ll do - not tear downs . He had Worley come and look at it and they confirmed the magneto is not firing - the tech told him they can rebuild them - long story short that’s what he decided to do - loaded it on a roll back took it to their shop to rebuild the original ignition system . Some ways I’m glad because getting a non running tractor ( that size ) on and off a trailer ( we had one ) is a real PIA - him at 82 years old don't think he wanted the aggravation. I had the parts list ready to order my bill came in under $150 for the conversion - Worley transportation and shop/parts time will probably be 2 or 3 times that - tech told him he prefers the magneto over points and coil system so that’s what he decided .

Need help K341s that has been sitting for few years

That is correct. One caution. Don’t leave power to the coil for an extended time when it’s no being cranked, you can burn it out -

Hmmm. Spring steel embedded in a casting, Beyond my skills. Hoping someone who’s been there can offer a suggestion or two! -
I’d love to meet the folks who put together the demystification guide over a cup of coffee. Simply excellent work.

Nice find! Could be the angle, but the stance makes me wonder if those are 6” wheel spindles with 8” wheels?

I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
Bar Nuthin replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
If you hold the brake lever all the way down, and you still have grinding - your issue goes beyond the parking pawl. I have a unit from a C-120 that may meet your needs. I'm about 4 hours north of you. -
260 Series Tall Chute Snowblower (blower assy only)
Bar Nuthin posted a classfied in Wheel Horse for Sale
Put a bid (sight unseen) on a snowblower at auction. Turns out it is for a 260 Series tractor. It is just the blower unit (if fair condition) did not include the parts for the lift tube or crank handle. Would consider possible trades for C-Series parts, 12-6 rim for an 854, other stuff???. Pickup in Ossian, Indiana I'll try to add more pictures when I get a chance. -
I Think This Group Might Be Bad For Me - Meet My New B100 Automatic
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I did pick up the parts as planned, got them unloaded then got busy dealing with some unexpected issues elsewhere. I did look things over and the engine looks good, has good compression so I have high hopes it will be a good useable motor. The transaxle probably isn't useable as is, when you turn the rear hubs I can feel a crunching feeling. The crunchiness is there through out the rotation and is the same on both sides. I'm guessing there is something broken inside, like maybe the parking pawl The price was right so I went ahead and bought it. I also got all of the misc. parts associated with the transaxle so if it turns out I can use it in the future then I'm all set as far as supporting components. So I guess as it stands right now, the B100 Automatic is closer to being a viable tractor but it's not there yet. -
My suggestion is to download the "demystification guide" from the electrical section of our manuals. Page 423 has the circuitry for your 416-8. Here is a cut from the manual for your spark circuit.

I got one of these coming in the mail!

Agreed. Can these be drilled out? -
Good to know... It won't rust.

Hope it's the best one ever.

I am trying to understand the wiring diagram so I can test to see if I am getting spark. Right now when turning the key to the start position, nothing happens. The diagram shows a rectifier I am not sure that my 1985 has a rectifier, believe it is unregulated. I do have a Kohler 15amp 3 blade regulator but my understanding from recent reading, one would have to change the stator and do some rewiring. If it works fine like it is then why change it? But here is how I interpret the diagram. One thing that I do not understand is how the seat switch works. Why does it go to the A (Accessory) terminal on the ignition switch? How would not having power on that terminal keep one from starting the engine or kill the engine if you get off the seat? Also i found the seat and PTO switch wires to be spliced together bypassing the switches. I have no clue about the pedal switch yet. 1- The PURPLE wire goes from the S (start) terminal on the ignition switch to the S terminal on the solenoid. There is a pedal interlock switch in that circuit requiring the pedal to be pressed to close the switch. 2- The YELLOW wire runs from the I (ignition) terminal from the ignition switch to the positive terminal on the ignition coil. The negative side of the ignition coil is grounded through the breaker points and condenser.and when the breaker points are open, a spark is created at the spark plug. 3- So, how does the ignition switch receive its 12v power to power the I and S terminals? From the B (battery) terminal on the ignition switch right? From the positive on the battery a RED wire goes to the starter solenoid B terminal. A second RED wire goes from the Starter solenoid B terminal to a 15amp fuse where the RED wire splits and one side stays RED while the other becomes ORANGE. The RED terminates and turns into 2 WHITE wires. One WHITE wire going to what appears to be a diode that might come from the stator. The other WHITE goes to the PTO interlock switch. From the PTO interlock switch, the WHITE wire now turns to TAN and connects to the B (battery) terminal on the ignition switch. The ORANGE wire runs to the seat switch and then to the A (accessory) terminal on the ignition switch. To hotwire, don't I just run a wire with 12 volts to the positive on the ignition coil and then jump out the solenoid to engage the starter? That should bypass everything and i should be able to see a spark on the grounded plug? Thanks Charrie

Metal or 3D printed plastic?

I actually met him in Atlanta in1996 at Olympics. My son got his autograph. Groups of cyclists doing training/practice rides and we were in area. I saw Eddie Merckx a little ways off but he would not come over to mingle with us commoners. Was a big Lance fan until the scandal -

@Johnc REPEDITIVE PROBLEMS , SHOW YOU THE WAY TO CHANGE ! they are always there , easy to visualise after valve drainage set up , when I make a change , paint it RED / BLACK , IT DISSAPPERRS , also been using valvoline VR-1 10-30 oil , the difference in operational running ease is amazing , always trying something , good talkin , pete

Looks like a receiver from a 10,000 lb. equalizer hitch welded to the draw bar. There is also an unusable slot hitch behind it. Notice the factory wheel weights with the centers filled with concrete. This is a worker with some farmer modifications, I noticed it on an online auction site. The blower and two decks looked good on the pictures so I placed a low bid assuming the tractor was a parts machine. I went to pick it up assuming I would have to winch it on the trailer, but bumped the key and it started up first turn and runs and sounds like a strong KT17. This one will probably go to son Mark. My other son Mike has a 417H with a Trac Vac

So close, so far. Poor judgement... No Wheaties box picture for you Lance.
