I was just meaning that it isn't going to harm anything if you buy the oil in a bulk 5 gallon bucket if you have multiple tractors because it is most likely going to get used before it expires and isn't going to sit for a long enough to let everything settle out.
-
If you have a drill press and tap set you can easily drill and tap the oil pan to work with a Wheel Horse direct bolt on. I've done several and they are identical to factory. I'm not a fan of J hooks for this application, but it will work so long as they don't stretch or bend. The blocks that have the tabs holding the oil pan (see below) are the ones I am referring to.

Good call. Yeah, I probably knew that too..

I'm itching to throw a hot potato on the table. "What is the absolute best oil for air cooled engines?" Have at it! LOL!
-
Not always true. There are 2 different block configuration where the oil pan mounts. I was going to convert my pulling engine from a shaker mount oil pan to a frame mount oil pan and could not. Note: Oil pan bolts run from the bottom through the oil pan and thread into the block. This engine the bolts run from the top through the block and thread into the oil pan.

Absolutely the aftermarket crap for these is unreal. I mentioned the Kubotas as they are made for the ranch. Same with Bobcats which might be worth looking at for a work machine. Wished I woulda took a harder look at those too. https://www.bobcat.com/na/en/equipment/utility-vehicles

Which Year Wheel Horse I have and 310-8 on Hood?
Railboy replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
@953 nut, hello and sorry for the lengthy and needing your lengthy posts above. As you said, first thing first. This is to stop blowing the 15 amp. fuse. Need to clarify this one for me before hooking up ay wires. For in the thread I have not seen it clearly stated about the Oil Sender and how it operates? This is my mix up from what I was told in how the Oil Sender operates. First Hand knowledge. Guess which is totally wrong. What I was told is that the lead into the Oil Sender was a (-) negative one. And lead out was to complete the Negative circuit, the other wire of it. So this is all wrong? But it appears I stand corrected by you as I have been getting with out direct affirmation of this that with the 2 leads connected to the "Oil Sender" in and out have (+) Positive Charge on it until the Oil Sender actuates, thus conducting a grounding situation to cut engine power and light on. I have never seen this, but have been told, but this is how it works on the 1987 Wheel Horse Magnum 10 HP? This is the information I am getting crossed up. Thing is that the Oil Sender actually has (+) Positive Power going in and out of it during normal run situation as pertaining to the diagram and all wires are positive unless stated. Going to ground(-) when low oil? So on other words, the Oil Sender has Positive Polarity running through it when the engine is full of oil and running and why you need to tie together the Purple and Light Blue wires is to mimic that? So in connecting the Purple and Light Blue Wires at the relay is the key? I am just by-passing the Oil Sender Circuit So yank the relay out? And it is ok at the relay after the 15 amp. fuse, to tie the Purple and Light Blue Wires together there? I can access there and there is no paint on the wires to tell what is going on. Thank you for the help 953 nut, sorry to frustrate you if I have. I just was told different of the Oil Sender in "Operation", and I don't want to fry anything. And what I have learned about the diagrams, is "Unless shown with the negative symbol, all wires are Positively Charged". Is what I read in the forums? - Today

Paul beat me to it. Dip stick on C-122 Busty was broke and picked one up at a show flea. Who knows if it was the right length so changed oil measured and remarked or "recalibrated" the replacement stick.

@WHX?? No need for a cab or doors. I figured I can build my own roof or buy an aftermarket roof. And I plan on adding a front receiver to whatever I purchase. And with the dealer price for winches....no way....if I find that I need one, then I'll add it myself. The cargo bed dimensions, load capacity and towing capacity are important to me. I'm liking the Mule the more and more I look at them. The Pioneer & Ranger are out. It's down to the Defender DPS HD7 or Mule Pro-FX 820 EPS. However I should go look at the Kubota Sidekick too.

Chain case done with BLO. It's the only thing i would ever use. I tryed Marvel MO and it just don't cut it. BLO drys a bit glossy and dust on it rinses right off. It. It brings out the best patina. Cons are kind of a pain and messy to apply. Have to try a spray bottle. It also should be reapplied every so often. Absolutely Lane That 60 yo paint just pops. Pics don't do it justice. Before and after. -

Here is a !971 rRaider with black wheels. -
@Ed Kennell bet that oil would make a great rustproofing , been doing top edge inside access on auto paneling for years , as it creeps downward , it gets into every cran / crevasse , a few days later verify lower door seam is oil damp . all my stuff has lubrication in its seaming build up , no rust any whare , just a film , frame channeling is also a great creeping area , regularly see almost new pick ups , with rotted out cab and doors , repetitive problem , showing you the way , pete

Not 20 as in not don't have 20 tractors? I only have 19 so im cool but Dan has 20... What he's saying is it won't sit around for 20 years. With 21 tractors anyway
-
The simple solution is use the correct dipstick and if you have the spec number we can figure out the correct dipstick length...
-
Three. THREE years is your maximum. Not 20.
-
Buying in bulk should be fine as since its not like the oil will be sitting for 20 years
-
I was only referring to the oil capacity of a 241 Kohler being 2 quarts and a 241A being 1 1/2 quarts, not other displacement Kohler engines. Also, if you follow the chart and put 1 1/4 quarts in a 953s engine you will be 3/4 of a quart low . I would go by the Kohler owner manual rather than this listing.

I like anything with a low box height & large. You start piling wood and tools in it it gets small awful quick. Plunge's pic proves that. The Hondas are nice well built machines but the bed is too small. That's why I favor the mules and I wished I woulda got that instead of a Ridge. They have the best in class box dims. You didn't mention if you want/need a enclosed cab Kwalshy. I had to do it again I would go with a open cab and add doors and whatnot down the road if I really needed. One of the things with any sxs is once you get it setting it up for how you use it. I never used any of my winches I ever had so I nixed them and made a front receiver for moving trailers. Figured I ever want a winch build one that slides in the receiver and wire for front or rear use. Don't be afraid to look at the Kubotas either for a true work machine either. I wished I woulda kicked them tires a little harder. If dad is going to operate it look for easy in easy out. If it's a worker you won't need a ton of ground clearance so the lower the better for him.

@Pullstart this is an example of my paint recovery , emphasis is on immediate anything I pick up , transition from . neglect to saved . once finished off with a 6" electric palm buffer , cleaner wax , finish , just give it a regular clean cloth penetrant wipe down , stays clean and clear , does not attract dust / dirt . doing this for years , tractors all have many removed , repetitive failures , they are amazingly solid once corrected , pete -
But the engine block is all the same. I’d suggest if you have a donor engine, use its oil pan and run it. If not, that’s ok too. Just make sure that the crankshaft height is where it needs to be, for the belt guard to properly clutch with the belt.

March 25, 1993, Wendy's founder Dave Thomas, worried that his status as a high-school-dropout-turned-burger-mogul sends the wrong message to kids, earns his GED diploma at age 60. Local high school seniors vote him "most likely to succeed."
