I looked for a S/G belt for my 701 the other day. Then remembered I needed two of them. Nope... $6 each online but won't be delivered until the 22nd. $25.99 each at the local parts store. Guess I'll be waiting another week...

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
PWL216 replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
Ok, I’ll give this a shot… I have a 418-8. It was running fine until I ‘fixed it’. They made these one year only. It has an electric lift. The seat won’t come with it. I can add an old seat. $500 with hubcaps, $450 without. I’m open to trades for running 300/400/500 series. I can take more pics if ur interested. I’ll only bring it if someone definitely wants it. Thx! -
I got mine from you. How many of these did you have?

Seems quite a few of us have loose nuts. -
Tighten all fasteners before operating mower
Ed Kennell replied to squonk's topic in Implements and Attachments
I was lucky when the center spindle bolt washer and pulley came off. The old style 48" deck with the stiffener rib that surrounds the deck belt area kept every thing inside. I did search the grass where it came off before I found everything when I took the deck off. -
I'm getting a square deck from Sparkeye at the show. All I need of of it are the blades. I am bringing some well worn blades to put on it and hope not to have to bring it home. Deck is actually pretty decent looking.

Hi Pete and thanks for the tips. This turned out to be the result of a (too) cheap head gasket. It lacked the edge protection found on better quality gaskets and resulted in the material sandwiched between the two metal layers to blow completely out. I put the original head gasket back in and the tractor started Right Up and had full power. (I have a better Stens head gasket inbound should this one start to have issued.) I completed the service by changing engine and trans-axle oil. best,

Kohler K series rear oil seal.... NAPA has a seal I'm gonna try
Razorback replied to Razorback's topic in Engines
Picked up the seal just now….. it’s the PrimeLine part…. Now, to get the engine back together. Will do that after we get the yard mowed. -
4 auto supplies, tractor supply, orange and blue big box and 2 fairly well stocked Ace 8 (nuts and bolts) 7 miles away each direction. Nuts and bolts are no issue. Tractor Supply has reduced number of belts and the auto supply's don't stock anything very long. My shop is getting crowded as parts storage vs working space. Plus same shop is my wood woodworking shop, every task shop. Parts storage at the farm barn is not a good option 2-1/2 hours away. Plus the barn, while dry is not a great place for engines or transmission parts that I don't want to rust. I'm trying to get myself to do a major reorganization, but somethings have got to go elsewhere.

Clutch engage sometime and when it does it stops in a few seconds

Something isn't right. it took a lot of force to break that hoop Is the threaded rod bent which is distorting the threads that the trunnion turn on? -

Selling some parts to fund more WH activities. Asking prices listed after descriptions below. - Hood, should fit 800 of the same era and possibly Chargers/Raiders/C-Series from early to mid 70's. Not sure all the models it can fit. Parts manual lists it as PN# 9699. Not perfect but very nice, some wear and missing headlight lens, otherwise complete with latch and lower mounting bracket. - $120 - Kohler K241 (AQS) engine, 10hp single cylinder electric start, runs and sounds good, stack exhaust. Videos available on request. - $300 - Seat pan. Decent shape, no rust, one area on the top could use welding (see photos). May fit other years/models. - $40 - Tractor seat, do not believe it is original to the machine, but fit well and should also fit other models. Has wear but its is still serviceable/comfortable. - $40 - Floor boards/Foot rests. Nice shape, no rust, has mounting hardware included. Manual says this will fit all long frame WH tractors ~1971 but most likely fits other models/years. Part numbers below. - $75 PN# 7454 - Foot Rest - RH PN# 7455 - Foot Rest - LH PN# 7456 - Bracket - Foot Rest Anchor - Front steering axle. Appears to be PN# 5638, should fit all long frame tractors of that era.

Tighten all fasteners before operating mower
Kenneth R Cluley replied to squonk's topic in Implements and Attachments
Lost part of the deck belt tensioner while mowing. Was out in yard with "construction magnet" dragging around yard , looked across and neighbor is looking at me like i've got three eyes, and asks what in the he$$ are you doing? I did eventually find the part. -
I'm lucky. I've got 3 small town old fashioned type hardware stores within about 5 miles. Two of them have the old wooden floors with basements - stashed full of stuff. I'm recognized in all 3 when I walk in.

Nice Little Shop Stool
Kenneth R Cluley replied to Handy Don's topic in non tractor related discussion
I've got a "Doctor" rolling stool also. Very handy for some jobs. Also utilize a "kneeling pad" which is a padded backrest from an old golf cart. -
I rigged up this cultivator several years ago with a mix of different blades to cut out weeds between vegetable garden rows. This rig cuts out weed growth 30 to 34 wide with ease. I have one like Kevin’s and i have some machinist made weights i use but i prefer my cultivator with the Danish tines! I also have 3 machinist made weights numbered 1,2,3 that weigh 19 pounds each i use on both of my cultivators! Work great.

I never really got into the '80s music at the time but have begun to listen to a lot of it lately. The radio station that was playing '60s and '70s music when I move to Franklin twenty years ago is now playing '80s and '90s tunes and most of it is great. Prince, Queen, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Kurt Cobain, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have all won me over.

We had a little hardware store that closed about 6 yr's. ago. Had everything in there. Had the wooden floors that moved as you walked. One of those ladders with rollers so it would slide along the wall to get stuff way up. The whole works!

I've wanted one of these Bull nose trucks for a looooonng time. I've also wanted to build a particularly strong inline six 300 for a looooonng time. It's been setting around unused collecting dust too long. Time to ask others for help. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
fiftyfordfloored replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Brought more horses home. One is a Commando 8 that runs and mows and the other is a project 800 auto someone gave up on. The wife is growing concerned I may have an addiction. Shame the tires are dry rotted, both rear sets appear to be original and say Wheel Horse on them... which I think is just so neat. Swapped the tall skinny's from the 633 onto the 8. It looks semi-ridiculous but at least it's functional for now. -

@ebinmaine Impressive that you returned to it. I would have been at the auto shop long ago. -
New-to-me Horse (and other stuff) Hauler!!
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Amazing how life flies on ..... Last time I messed around with this truck was August 2024 which was the month my father's cancer finally took an irreversible and aggressive turn. 💜 Well since his passing we've been busy as all get out doing everything else but this truck. Sooooooooo...... I've been mulling over whether I should sell it or not for awhile. No... And..... The person who was helping me with the rear axle has been more than generous but IMHO needs to focus on their own priorities right now. Sooooooooo..... I've made the decision to find a local mechanic who can help me get my F250 back on the road. ... Biggest and first hurdle is the rear axle reassembly. When I can find someone with the knowledge and tools to accomplish that, we'll get the rest diagnosed and State Inspection work completed.
