double wow, wh is ranking in with the last supper!

I remade a chipboard/melamine shelf into a narrower shelf to fit between the Murphy bed and wall at the lake house. This will be the 3rd or 4th life for that shelving unit.

drum brakes have some degree of self energizing designed into them. Depending on the geometry of the lining material, shoe pivot location and shoe length, the torque generated by the brake can actually apply more normal force between the shoe and drum. In resistance to brake fade, the disc brake is much better than a drum brake. The disc brake sheds heat much better than a drum.

This 754 I picked up has had the throttle cable replaced, but I feel like it is way too long and needs to be shortened up. I'm hoping someone could post some photos that show the correct routing of the throttle cable. Additionally, the thing only had about 1" of travel, so basically idle or wide open. Upon investigation, I found they had governor jerry rigged to compensate for a broken governor spring. (new spring on the way) click for video ===>>>

Didn’t see the long bolt at night.. found out today when I attempted to remove long bolt .. I had to remove both the 1 inch long nuts on the bolt.. screw? And turn one end loose to get one side S/G off then tighten and loosen other end to get that side S/G off.. took about 30 minutes of hand tightening loosening to do so. Didn’t realize the S/G weighed so much till had to hold one end up while loosening other side

The engine in the front of the photo looks like a tecky like @ebinmaine stated, it does not have to fuel pump area and the same breather as the kohlers. The engine in the back does however look like a kohler

Well if you want to use the Koran.. Quran... Corean.... The Muslims' Book, there are 7 heavens. I count 6 levels in that display, including the WH on the top, so one could surmise something is out of frame. Wrong kind of crabs.

Those parts on an engine with the magneto ignition on it can still be used as a pull start only engine. No starter, no battery, no physics. I was going by the title and his question. The only mistake he made was calling the flywheel a magneto. There are some engines with gear starter that have magneto ignition that do not need the starter or a battery to run. They can still do it even though it has a ring gear and bump out on the shroud for a starter

If i remember right 300 + for our motors.

856 K181 cylinder pictures. Terrible quality.. condition?
adsm08 replied to FLtractor's topic in Engines
This is true of AUTOMOTIVE engines. I usually do it a few times a month at work. It doesn't really work on single-cylinder engines. Somewhat relevant to this discussion, but also just a cool video in general: -
I understand all that. However if you look at the parts he circled in the picture he posted, those particular parts are for a gear-drive starter. The flywheel has teeth, the engine shroud has a starter drop, and the screen technically has a pulley you could wrap a rope around, put it is not a true pull-start recoil setup.
-
The rest of us prefer actually stopping. I will say, drum brakes do have some advantages. In 200K miles my Escape never needed the rear brakes replaced, and the last time I inspected them they were barely even worn from new. They are also better at holding back against torque than discs. The 4-wheel disc brakes on my Ranger can't stall the engine in 4-low/1st.

Maybe you should take up crabbing ... heard tell strippers are involved ...
-
But there wouldn't be a gear drive starter there to occupy that space and he won't need a battery either since he wants to convert it to pull start. A battery would be needed to continue with using a battery ignition but even then, it could stay put in the tray. No physics necessary
-
Not me. I can't remember it, and I can't remember who normally, and I am still dealing with some after-effects of that head shot I took last Friday.

We are dealing with batteries and starters. Objects at this scale and density tend to adhere to more Newtonian properties, and are generally not subject to the laws described by quantum physics.

Art Imitates Wheel Horse
Pullstart replied to SylvanLakeWH's topic in non tractor related discussion
Sylvia. I’m trying to make sense of the shelving. Are deer between heaven and earth? And Wheel Horse is in heaven? Asking for a friend… -

VID_20260924_102901382~2.mp4 No luck trolling for stripers. We ran 20 crab traps for two hours and had our 72 crab limit so we packed it in and headed home. VID_20260924_092253848~2.mp4

True, but quantum theory says that this would be statistically possible - the probability of it happening make the probability of winning the Powerball seem actually encouraging.

Need new voltage regulator.. S/G Belt
ebinmaine replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Ain't me. Mebbe @Achto or @WHX?? knows? -
It doesn’t have any brake components. I either build all new, or use what I have. You’re talking to a guy who loves the 4 wheel manual drum brakes on his ‘69 C10

What belt does my Wheel Horse Take? Take a Look!

The regulators rarely actually go bad or break, unless they were hooked up wrong, or were exposed to an electrical fault. These are old designs, from the days when things were meant to be worked on. They can be cleaned and adjusted and brought back to life as they wear. If you remove the top cover and hold the unit right-side up with the three posts facing you the set of contacts responsible for charging will be to your right. Cleaning them with some fine sand paper and making sure all the other connections are good an clean, and the wires are in good shape, is likely all that is needed. There is a website where high-quality regulators can be purchased still. Of course I can never remember what it is. @ebinmaine Eric, is it you that always has to remind me of that site?

The particular parts pictured are not for a pull-start, they are for a gear-drive starter. That setup will only work in your tractor if you relocate the battery (see @Thegearhead0324's 1267 thread). You will find on the short-frame units that a gear drive starter and the battery will attempt to occupy some of the same space, and Newtonian physics generally disallows this.
