No idea when it was discontinued. Weren’t they a bit smaller at 22x9.00x12?

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Sure does! -
When did Armstrong discontinue the Super Turfs? They came new on my 87 312-8. I always thought they were much more aggressive than the Carlisle's when in good shape. Anyway I am pulling 2 that are worn out and replacing with ags. They will go on the 310 I picked up a month.

We have a Cooper's Hawk that shows up frequently in our back yard. It's also not unusual to see Red Tail Hawks and Owls back there. It was surprising to see this Red Tail Hawk doing business in our front yard, though!

It's so you can still use a wrench side after using the other side as a hammer

520H Power Steering Modification
cleat replied to JoeM's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Great way to test. The only issue I heard was the steering lugging the engine at the end of it's stroke. The lift valve has a pressure relief valve built in but because your steering is plumbed in first that valve is not going to help. Long story short, make sure you have a pressure relief ahead of the steering control valve to prevent over pressure issues. Just my 2 cents. -
Thank you, I ordered a Toro brand belt today. Only $29.00 delivered, Victory!

I was thinking that a 'smartwrench' app and attachment for a smartphone might be a good idea, unless the user doesn't take criticism well. (Made today with Photoshop and help from some AI apps.)

In all the years I owned VCRs, I never could get the scheduling function right. With streaming being the norm now, I still miss having my own copy of my favorite movies. I guess I'm just an oddball. I mean I'm oddball enough without that particular quirk, so there's that.

Cool story and well done @Digger 66! We have hay fields on 3 sides of my property. The number of Hawks that show up when it's cut is awesome. Mostly red tails and a few owls, but they get down on the ground and walk around picking up field mice by the dozens. The Hawks are always around but it's cool to see them congregate in one place. As @Pullstart said, we have coyotes, Hawks, fox, bobcats, and the rare and occasional (Thank God) black bear. All the livestock here is surprisingly safe, except for the occasional chicken that wanders too far out in the open. The Hawks will take one every once in a while but the benefit of them keeping the rodents in check outweighs the occasional loss.

To my knowledge, no. What does matter is that you do not want the entrance of the wire going into the condenser pointing up. The wire acts like a wick when it rains; if the seal fails the condenser shorts out from the trapped water inside.

This is where mine are located on the 12hp-8 no name and the c-160-8 and believe that is where they came on them new. You may have to enlarge pics to see them

Hi Guys, got a K321 14HP Kohler in house with all the electrical components removed. I cleaned and aligned the points, added a 12v (resistor coil) positive 12V battery feed to positive terminal, ran a line from the negative side of the coil to the points. I know I have to add a condenser also to the negative side. My question is does location of the condenser matter i.e. next to the coil or is closer to the points better. Thanks Rob

I had to check back to see if anyone figured this out yet. I could tell yall exactly what it is ..................but I have no idea either.

Steering wheel and tube ready to be installed. Tractor ready for steering wheel to be installed. Steering tube slid onto steering shaft. Never seize applied to steering shaft. Flat then bowed washers slid onto steering shaft. Spirol pin never seized then partly installed into steering wheel but not blocking shaft hole. Steering wheel slid onto shaft then a 1/4" pin slid in opposite the spirol pin to align holes in the steering wheel and steering shaft. There is just a small amount of tension from the bowed washer to hold the tube in position. Spirol pin ready to be driven in. Spirol pin driven in with this punch that has a locating bump on the end. Spirol pin driven in until the pin protrudes out of each side of steering wheel. Steering wheel installed. Steering wheel and tube installed.

I sure hope you decide to keep it together. It looks like it is pretty complete tractor.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Lee1977 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I don't have a C-160 but I do have a C-120/180. If I subtract the 20 from the 80 does that make it a C-160. -
Well my original intentions were to use it as a parts tractor. I'm not set on that but for $100 I couldn't not buy it for the engine alone. I'll make my final decision when I get it fired up and see how well everything works. I like Wheel Horse but my wife's family farm is the green tractor kind of people. So I bought her a '64 110rf. The block on her k181 appears to be cracked around the exhaust pipe thread. So I had planned on swapping engines. Ironically her engine is already red so likely from another WH.

It's still sitting in the back of my jeep. Between our 2yr old and 2month old, I didnt have time to get it in the barn last night. Hopefully tomorrow and I'll get some pics. I bought it from a kid in his 20's. He bought it and a B-80 as a package. He only wanted the B-80 since it belonged to his dad or grandpa. I cant remember which. He said they both last ran 2yrs prior to him buying them The B-80 fired right up with a new battery and some gas. He didnt want the 875 so he only went as far as trying to turn the key. I'd be willing to bet it'll fire up with a jump based on age of gas in the tank and completeness of the drivetrain. I'll update on that when I get the time to mess with it

All of the above comments, but I see it as an important labor-saving tool that lets you loosen or tighten two different bolts simultaneously. Get the job done in half the time and charge the full hourly rate.
-
It would be nice if there was a fuel pump test for these. Besides just seeing if the fuel is pulsing out. I know on the Ford 8N tractor there is a test where the fuel line disconnected at the carb should fill a pint jar in so many seconds. Something like that…. Just to check the flow rate
-
Ok just ordered genuine kohler rings, and a 3" dingleberry hone. Now we wait. Connecting rod and crank journal look good so not going to change. Already glassed head and lapped the valves.
-
Might be worth trying a low pressure electric fuel pump. I have several Vanguard engines, and they have a common issue that affects how pulse fuel pumps work. The side oil pan gasket will sometimes develop a small air leak and the case pressure overwhelms the vent, so any pulse pump had way too much pressure which in turn overwhelms the carb float. The engine runs great until you move it. Anyway the factory fix is a very hard to find oil pan gasket. I added electric fuel pumps to mine and never had any issues again.
