I struggle with videos with my phone. What the heck is HEVC???? I finally got YouTube to do it's thing and hopefully it will work here. This is the first start up. Spark good, fuel to carb good (currently using a cheapo thumpy thump electric pump) and wiring checks out. It actually surprised me how fast it started. I had fogged the engine a while back and it didn't smoke as much as I thought is would at first start. It didn't care for the base carb settings but I got it to smooth out some. Still needs some tweaking. Took a mini cruise through the first woods just cuz. I used the battery from my 05 and found out it's 5 years old. I was going to park Dino for the winter and put the battery back in the 05 but I'm just going to leave it in Dino and buy a new one. I still have some odds and ends to do I'm waiting on some crimp lugs to redo the battery cables, I may repaint the fender pan. Something got on it and it feels more like sandpaper. I've got a good electric fuel pump on the shelf but I'll just leave the thumper on it until it quits. There seems to be some noises that are more obvious on the video than from the seat. I'll be chasing those down. Hopefully it's nothing internal. https://youtu.be/e1FIVKRNTlM

Retired Wrencher replied to ebinmaine's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
He is a hard working man with two jobs. I still can’t believe he had the original key in a bag for the B 60 tractor. I guess I can say it was kinda lucky getting that. -
Afraid not, these tame deer are not on the hit list. Unfortunately, most of these urbans become roadkills.

C-145 Auto electrical problems
Ed Kennell replied to Kid with a wheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Spark, fuel, compression, and correct timing....and it will run. -
After opening the files and reading all the good information on them, I looked closer at the mower and found that the tensioner cable broke at the z bend. I did a temporary fix and that mower pushed light as a feather. I ordered an aftermarket cable for ten bucks and it will be her in a few days. Meanwhile the plan is to wire in some clips to the system so my wife can start it easily. No need for another battery to sit there and go bad between uses.

On Lawn Rangers since they had the techys you could get the electric start and it still have the pullstart since they have the bendix style starter instead of the starter generators.

I strongly recommend checking your front axle pivot before too long, if it hasn’t ever been addressed. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/92609-xi-series-front-axle-pivot-repair/

WELLLLLLL, it was over 40 years ago that I left the Greenhouse company and when I was buying the fiberglass roles the company was paying the bill, but it is good stuff. -

@953 nutYou’re right. It’s a Johnson TC10. Not sure why I said Thompson… -

Good looking rig, subframe looks well engineered though I had never heard of the Thompson brand, it looks a good deal like my Johnson loader. Pump those new front shoes to maximum pressure to make steering easier. -

Not a sign, but a meme that really hits home.

We have a couple of very young bucks that are a part of the herd that roams around our end of the valley. much like the does and fawns ( a few of them have been born in our yard) the bucks come right up to the back yard as long as we furnish them with apples and corn. When I mow the lawn they seen to like the clippings too. By the way, I'm not telling you my address.

Bring hose to the store. Try to match up both end diameters. May need 2 different hoses and splice in some tubing between the ends.

I have a Troy Built garden tiller that has a 7 hp Kohler that looks very much like that engine. about a mid 1976ish tiller.

You said the engine ran better with the choke closed. This indicates that the carb is getting to much air. This is a common problem when the throttle shaft and the hole it passes through get worn.

C-145 Auto electrical problems
953 nut replied to Kid with a wheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Do yourself a favor and cure one problem at a time, Get the ignition system working properly, get the engine running, and then you can do a functional test on the charging system. Have you done the static timing yet? -

I have a set of "other brand" weights on the back of Cinnamon Horse right now. I got two or three sets. At least one was yellow and one was white. Don't remember the other... They're around 50 lbs each and could be stacked. -
Yes. Yes it is.
