  1. Past hour
  2. Rear bumper is off. That won't go back on. Rear crossmember is loose. That will be replaced because it's thin but I am leaving it in for now so that the frame spacing stays correct while I install the trailer hitch.
  3. August 16, 1954, a new magazine dedicated to covering sports appears on American newsstands. Announcing itself with a striking cover photo of Milwaukee Braves third baseman Eddie Mathews, his swinging bat a blur against the dramatic backdrop of a crowded Milwaukee County Stadium, Sports Illustrated is considered a joke by some at its publisher and will not make money for most of its first decade. Eventually, however, it will become the undisputed leader in American sports media, the sporting magazine of record and one of the most recognizable media brands in the world.

  5. If your using it to mow it will need an electric clutch, there is no bearings in the output shaft just sleeves that run on oil pressure similar to an car. I will say that engine would be a rockstar in a c if done right.
  6. ECH is an EFI engine meaning it needs an ECU and an exhaust oxygen sensor.

    B-60

    Erick I may have an engine for this B-60. Wayne Rugg says he may have an engine and a console. Thanks for the help.

  9. Another item you may wish to look at - your front wheel bearings & spindles. You just added a fair amount more weight to the steering... Pay attention to the underside of the spindles where the inner races reside. It is not uncommon to find the shafts well worn due to the inner race(s) spinning - they should remain stationary. Repair / replace as necessary. If you find the steering to be too heavy handed after the swap, consider cutting the bottom ends of the axle bosses to make room for a set of 3 pc roller thrust bearings & washers, as I did for @Handy Don on his 312. Makes for one finger steering....

    C160 RPM drops when hydro engages?

    Interesting question? I’ll have to crank her up tomorrow and check that! Thanks for the tip! Gary
  12. Is this the cables that has the little notches that does the locking? I believe he (Dan) had one on a tractor at the Big Show year before last that he showed me. I think it was him and it would indeed stay wherever you set it. I have been looking off and on ever since and have never found them anywhere. The higher quality friction type do all right but just don't have the shelf life of the others
  13. I haven't either since Dan was lucky enough to find one. It really locks up too. Once you lock the throttle you can push the tractor with it
  14. Definitely worth repowering your Work Horse in that condition. I have an engine here, but no good way to get it to you. There are NOS engines on ebay. Old Craftsman tractors may also yield a usable engine.
  15. The whole image looks skewed, like maybe it was taken with a wide-angle lens.

    Mule drive question

    I have not seen one do this, but will try to address some of your questions. The nut does not need to be very tight. If you crushed a spacer, that's too tight. Replace it. The pulleys and shroud should be just far enough apart that they don't touch. IIRC that puts the longest spacer in the middle. You don't often see a 36" deck on a tractor over 12HP, but I won't judge. Maybe you have a narrow gate or trees to go between. Having said that, are you sure you are using the right belt? I think most of the 36" decks use the 102741 belt, which is 1/2" x 97". And the 42" decks I expected on this tractor use the 108834 belt, which is 1/2" x 98". If you try to use a 42" belt on a 36" deck, the extra length will force you to jack the mule pretty far out to get it tight, which will rotate the pulley angles in a bad way. And that's my first guess on a cause.

    C160 RPM drops when hydro engages?

    Is your valve returning to the neutral position correctly?

    Mule drive question

    I've had deck drive belts flip on the clutch pulley. Tightening the mule drive solved that. As I stated before, I run my belts with about 1/2" deflection on each side between the clutch pulley and mule drive pulleys. I've never had a belt roll and jump like your's. On belt routing, the tapered side of the belt goes in on the clutch pulley and inner pulley. The flat side (outside) of the belt goes on the flat, outer mule drive pulley. Inner mule drive pulley, tapered side of the belt in, outer mule drive pulley, tapered side away from the pulley. The nut clamps on the spacers and inner races of the pulley bearings. Tightness should not affect the bullies. Having said that, I will also say I tighten mine to 30 or 40 ft lb - measured by my finely calibrated arm. Might be worthwhile to tighten the mule drive pulleys without a belt on them to confirm that they spin freely. If they don't, you will be heating the bearings, bullies, and belt to unhealthy temperatures. Have you noticed a burning rubber smell? Hope this helps. Please do post a description of the solution when you find one. That might help someone else solve a similar problem in the future.

    Mule drive question

    Do you have a twist in the drive belt?

    C160 RPM drops when hydro engages?

    Thanks for the replies guys. As I mentioned the C-160 lifts that heavy two stage snow thrower without a problem. By the way I do have the 2 helper springs that the factory recommends installed. My question centers on the fact the the engine RPM drops when I lift the snow thrower and REMAINS REDUCED until I actually lower the snow thrower to the drive way at which time the RPM returns to it’s previous setting. My 520 H by comparison, looses a bit of RPM also when lifting , but the RPM returns to the previous speed as soon as I release the up lever with the snow thrower remaining in the upmost position. I don’t have to lower the snow-thrower to get the RPM back up with the 520 H.

    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Why's that deck look wide?
  23. Ok, I’ll give it a look. Once I saw the parts start coming back as also magnum parts I thought this might not be a C-141 level repower.
  24. @JCM Thanks, I figured you might recognize it 😁.
  25. That C-85 looks very familiar Justin. Engine looks nice in there. Good luck
  26. Oh... My... Gosh.... On the subject of cables, if they ever have any Willys that have locks on the throttle cable, I'd jump all over it. Sadly, I haven't found any of those.
  27. The solenoid is mounted on your starter and the voltage regulator / rectifier is the same as any magnum, it is probably already mounted near the flywheel fan.
