A previous neighbor has one. It does a decent job. Never used the controller. Fun just to watch her mow with it. Plenty of boo tube videos as well.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

The tie down is what makes it...!!! twice, cut once... Lucky 13!!! -
I've found penetrating oil (like PB Blaster) and a red Scotch-Brite pad (or some areas with 600 grit wet sandpaper) to be an excellent method for removing the grime and bringing back some color. After I have the surface rust and black mildew removed, I wash it down, then give it a fresh application of PB Blaster and let it soak in the sun. Then another bath and I'm left with a smooth patina finish that repels water and wipes clean easily. Recoat as needed over time. I've found other treatments leave too much gloss for my liking. I'm really just hung up on wether or not to swap the tower decals. Here is my C-160 after the PB Blaster treatment. (and a drunken decal application )

Only downside is having toothmarks on the battery posts. But who sees that stuff?! -
@Bar Nuthin looks good to me , opportunity time ? while you are thinking about what you are going to do . get a penetrating oil spray down going on that paint , they really like time / and heat to osorb the penetrant . literally forget about it . this is my baseline for vintage matching paint . also run in any unknown engine on a seperate gallon of heavily treated fresh fuel , clean out bowl , also add a filter just before carb . done a number at that stage , clean out gas tank , good project , pete

So you see my ridiculous logic! Imagine the looks that would get at car shows too. -

A set of old vice grips at Zagray: $3 Fancy official certified battery cable clamp: $10 -
IMHO - leave them as is. IF you ever come across a good running correct vintage 16 HP Kohler to swap in, it's one less thing to deal with.

If all you plan to do with the tractor is putter around, 1.5 HP will do ya. Only need more to mow, plow, or tow stuff. -
Happy Birthday Brian

That is the Limited Slip Differential. Good possibility this is a “6-speed”.

I luv watching this kid play chess. He never looks at the board, but knows what his next move will be before his adult opponents' study and make thier move. -
Probably going to do some refreshing on this '73 that I picked up from @davidtmercer - Paint the rims, maybe some front tires, and a little paint work. The Chassis is a 16 Automatic, but at some point the engine was replaced with a 14 HP. It has turned out to be an excellent running engine! Question: Would you swap out the tower decals to "14 Automatic"? -or- Would you leave them alone?

I like it. That is called, "technically correct." Giving me terrible ideas to use on my own truck. -
I'm helping a friend with a Subaru Robin 9hp EX27 engine that was his wood splitter. He's funny , last year he had told me that he was giving up on using wood and was going to get his heat from a hose, but with the current oil prices he's having to rethink this! He said suddenly the engine was racing so we investigated and found its governor shaft was broken off and there was slight damage to the governor gear as well. I've tried to find a new shaft and haven't been able to find one, I had no idea finding parts for these Subaru engines would be so hard! I did see a gear on eBay. I don't know much about these Subaru engines and it looks like a mostly well designed engine, I see that it has roller bearings on both ends of the crank. Does anyone know if this is a known issue? Any ideas if there's a source for parts or used parts? C-85
