I can absolutely understand. And I have also done both jobs as well. When I did aviation maintenance I remember the tech support engineers as being some of the smartest folks I'd ever met. Our Martin Marietta engineer was a dang genius. Some others were morons that were too dangerous to handle complex tools like a hammer or wrench...

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
adsm08 replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Prepped for snow. Got the deck off and put away for the winter, chains on, snow blower installed and plow on deck. All I need now is some gas to put the battery on a charge for a bit. -

@stevasaurus I just found another thread from 2016 where you posted up detailed pictures with dimensions for that bracket. It looks like that's something I can build, and Lowell appears to have the pulley.

I got my C-125 running today! Maybe 4-5 years ago I went to start her after it snowed and she'd turn over but wouldn't fire so I had to shovel my 200ft driveway by hand. Later that week I tried a few things to see what was wrong but never figured it out. At the time we had an infant, a 1 year old, and a 3 year old plus a pre-teen and I always had other priorities and never got around to looking at it until last weekend. Cleaned out a mouse nest from the engine cover. Drained the tank and fuel lines, cleaned out the carb, adjusted the points, new spark plug and battery, new engine oil and transmission oil. After all that still nothing. Spark, but she wouldn't fire up. Bought a new condenser and after that could get her to fire up and idle but if I'd go past 1/2 throttle she'd shake violently. I must have cleaned & adjusted the points 5 times before finally buying a new set. I had a few minutes to put on the new points today and that was apparently the problem because she immediately fired up and she purrs like a kitten again! We don't get a lot of snow here in Cincinnati, but I just have a feeling that we're due for a good snowfall this year so I REALLY wanted to have my Wheel Horse back! -
I've known lots of engineers who were really great guys. As a mechanic I just tend to not get along with them professionally. I like to say that the biggest difference between the engineer and the mechanic is the math. The engineer can do a bunch of math and say "this should or shouldn't work". The mechanic can't do any of the math, but we know just by looking at it if it's going to work or not.

Same with military vehicles I swear some guys would only be happy if it had NOS air in the tires... -
Trina's are 1965, 6, 7...

Wee but o' moving fluffy white stuff around the door-yahd. -
If you can jack the rear wheels up, just spin one wheel. If the opposite turns the same direction, it's a 10 pinion. If it turns the opposite direction, it is not LSD.

I'm sure Dr. Freud could explain it.

I seldom work from plans. I have the necessary tools, equipment, and space. Supplies ($$$) always seems to be my sticking point. -
Yeah, I have a decent idea. At least we know where most of them went!
-
I oughtta prolly not tell ya how many are around here.....
-
I put the 16 Carb. on mine don't know it it made any difference.
-
I gotta say, these 14s are plenty in my book!

Just when I had finally talked myself out of building a black hood before finishing my 701- you just had to put up that C-125... That is one sharp machine. I'll go ahead and tell you, I'm copying those decals!
-
You could make a 16 or 23 HP out of it.'

For whatever reason, the K341/M16 has always eluded me. That is the only reason I drool over them I guess. But I have to agree, most any C-xx1 model would be tempting! Coupled with a smooth running Vanguard? Yeah, I'd take it!
-
If I find a good 1976 or 1977 I don't care what engine is bolted in there I'll buy it.
-
No. But if I found one I'd probably grab it.

Off a new Holland GT20 tractor but told me at Ag industrial it will fit a Toro 520 LXI =2 stage snow blower. might fit other tractors but you would have to check on that. obo and delivery is possible

I should probably also clarify my comments: I am an engineer myself, and no one gives me more grief than I do! My grandfather was the king of making fun of himself. I guess I try to do the same. Ad a kid, I would get embarrassed when I did something stupid and got caught. As I've gotten older, I figure it's more fun to laugh like everyone else does! Side note- my gramps believed Wiley Coyote was literally created in his image. I've found over the years that this too, appears hereditary.

416-8 with M16s Project
OutdoorEnvy replied to OutdoorEnvy's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Success! Well after more hours than I'd care to admit to of probing around I think I finally figured it out. So in the pic below of the PTO Switch the prong that is bare is what the purple striped wire set was connected to. I was not getting signal from that when key was in the start position. I had traced the signal through the low oil sensor to the relay and at the PTO Switch. But no signal was making it to the clutch switch. So after probing around I realized the bare prong beside it was getting signal when the key was in the start position. So I switch the purple wires to that one and I have start signal all the way to the solenoid wire. So I guess someone switched these at some point? That's my best guess as there are no other wires that are not connected. So the push button in the last pic is removed and I think we are back to a functioning electrical system with the key switch and all safety switches still connected. Outside of the ugly hole by the throttle lever I think we are in a good position going forward. Next up I am waiting on parts to arrive. I need to replace the axle seal and get the new good hub on so I can wheel it out for a wash. Then we have a clutch pulley, drive belt, and other engine tune up and maintenance to do like the gas tank cleaning and new fuel lines, etc. Parts can't arrive soon enough!
