Look right to me. That's a big Vanguard, likely 21 or 23hp. The tins and double barrel intake manifold are just like my 23hp. I swapped the same flywheel screen for a recoil starter. Then I found out how hard it is to pull start a 23hp engine... The carb on mine cost more than the engine. Finding one that isn't for a vertical configuration is difficult. But they are still out there.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I pulled the recycler cover off my HXL and had my son-in-law scan it for 3D printing another one in the future, should it break. They are very hard to find, and typically not cheap. Once he gets me the file I'll post it in it's own thread for anyone looking for one in the future. They can download it and find someone to print it up. -

Citrus stripper, not regular stuff. Dip the rag and wipe off the spray paint. New decals doesn't look bad on a patina tractor and paint the rims too -

Though they may be Simplicity here is why. The raised lip around the inside hole fits into a groove in the back of the next weight to keep them aligned when stacked. The only ones I have ever seen do that.

Looks good as I recall a year ago!

Nufin' much to take a picture of- yet.

Not sunrise or sunset but this lightning has been going on for about 45 minutes and still going, Pretty cool to watch and the video doesn't really capture the "big picture" The tree frogs are quite active too!

Someone smarter than me please post the video from Lionel B Cartwright- I watched it all on my radio. It’s on YouTube. As soon as this thread got started, it was the first thing I thought of. Great song! -
The loose hair made me nervous but applause for the effort! The ME lab at college had a small stand-mounted gas turbine for experiments on airflow and fuel management. We were super-closely supervised when running that sucker--and it was LOUD!

I wonder if a Carter AFB 500 CFM would work on our Kohler engines...

Whee Horse 102742 belts wearing poorly. Advice on better made ones.
My_horse replied to rustyedge1's topic in Implements and Attachments
That’s funny, the previous owner of my 314-8 had the belt on the smaller pulley. Couldn’t understand why it didn’t cut so good. I figured it out eventually. -

Looks like your headed in the right direction. I did not post any pic's of your Big Dog from the Portage show. Figured I'd leave that to you.

I've been working on Pac Rat, the AC B-110's, clutch. Replacing some missing plastic liners and washers took the grabbyness out of it. An adjustment made gear changes easier. I stopped at the hardware store and ordered a carb rebuild kit to hopefully tame the backfiring. I obtained a new muffler from @WHX?? recently, planning on using it on this tractor. In a hand mock up, it looks like it will make a good mini stack. I got a little deeper into that today. The original pipe backed right out of the exhaust port threads - suprise, suprise. On the bench, i discover that the 1" iron exhaust is a bunch smaller than the ID of the new muffler. Adaptor time. It appears that stepping up to a 1 1/4" pipe will get me a heavy press fit into the muffler. That is what they make disc grinders for, though a bench mounted belt sander or even a lathe would be wonderful. Trip #2 to the hardware store for this project tomorrow.

Yeah I printed it off, thank you. According to manual the governor is adjusted properly.

I got no worries with you I don't think you handle a grinder like some others we know! Deal ... but as @19richie66 would say ... put the grinder down and slowly step away.. Someone is gonna get this tractor for dang near the four letter word but gonna have to pass a interview ... and sign extensive documents drawn up in lawyer language. @Achto has got a lathe we'll make some some day. All back and operating as should and on the splash pad ... some belt stopping issues yet and jumps out of third gear occasionally but like that when I sold it. I'll get right on that. Still needs a new voltmeter. I put a digital one on as I found out Techies like to over charge a battery . I know not original but with one the charge can be controlled by running the bug eyes to keep the voltage below battery cook limits or removing a diode.

According to AI they are The S6W cast-iron part number typically designates vintage rear wheel weights made for Simplicity and Allis-Chalmers garden tractors (often stamped as S6W-C1 or similar foundry markings), usually weighing around 25 to 35 pounds per side depending on the specific model year and rim size.
