Does anyone have some good clear pictures of the linkage setup to and from governor, carburetor, hand throttle/plate and or anything that shows the routing, I purchased one off of marketplace that needs those parts and I am hoping the air filter housing I ordered will work on it as well but I may be in the market for that setup to purchase of anyone has the complete air filter housing from one that when our laying around.. doing a pressure washer project and I couldn't think of a better engine besides the GX 340 I have which is on another pump I did... Thanks in advance

Hydraulic leak help on Wheelhorse C-145
c-series don replied to TonyToro Jr.'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
First thing I would do is clean that whole area, then clean it again. Then you can pinpoint where it’s leaking from, but seeing up in there kinda sucks. I can’t remember if they’re O- ring style fittings or not.- 1 reply

My experience shows me that if I take apart half the problem I'll be back in there soon. At that point I've already lost .... I know my logic and work patterns are different than most. I remove the WHOLE fuel system from a tractor we dont know. Start over. Same with wiring harnesses.

Disassembly continues on the C160…
RoubaixRider replied to RoubaixRider's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Hey guys, Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Well, work continues on the 1976 C160 restoration…lots of sanding and primer and paint. Coming close to finishing all the small pieces…struggling a bit with Rustoleum Paint though…orange peeling occasionally. I’ll never use it again. Going to try and find a match with Duplicolor for the Sunrise Red. Never had issues with the CASE resto using Duplicolor. If anyone has one they like let me know, otherwise I’ll be experimenting. Prep of the “center pylon” (what I call the steering wheel center tower) was a lot of work. Best, Jason -

It was repainted once or twice so it is fair game for a resto. I have a few other projects that I will be sure to share.

C Series 12L14 Hexstock AdjustableTierods
ri702bill replied to ri702bill's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The old OE tierods do get used elsewhere. I find the severely pitted finish gives poor grip and concentricity in either a chuck or collet. I'd rather use new material. -

Excellent work !! Have you ever considered turning down the stock tie rods in order to fit the thread on ends? I've had pretty good luck doing this. -

Dan, that is too nice to restore. With the exception of a few unauthorized welds it should take you a couple weeks for this one. What are your plans for the rest of the winter? -

Looking forward to the new show!! Love your work!! -
I don't think that it will be a big issue. I would put a new spring in and carry on.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ebinmaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
From everything I've been reading of late, you'll do just fine with the synthetic for the full 25 hours. I'll be switching to synthetic oil after I use up our current stock. -
Here I go again. As the title says, this years project is a 401 Suburban. Will start off with some ground 0 pics. Next step that I was happy about was my Christmas Miracle. The steering wheel came off without special tools or much resistance. When I bought the tractor it had a Nova ignition module on it. Starting it was sometimes a challenge so I wanted to switch it back to points before disassembly. Happy to say that it starts much better on points than it did with the Nova module. With this accomplished it was time to move on to tear down. A couple of hours later & I had a pile of parts. I went through the transmission shortly after I bought the tractor because it had a 3rd gear issue, so that will not have to come apart again. The engine runs good with no smoke, so hopefully it will not need a rebuild. It does appear to be seeping oil from the head gasket, so I will pull the head to change the gasket. Will also inspect cylinder condition as long as it's open. Now for some P.O. surprises. Lets just say that some people should not be allowed to play with welders. First, when a lock collar cracks I guess one should grab the welder & tack it in place. Drag link issue?? Lets burn that in place too. I'm sure there will be a few more surprises. Feel free to come along for the show.

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the pump on my 702. Of course both ends of the spring were broke off and stuck in the holes. The edge of one hole was enlarged a little from the broken spring constantly rotating over it. The second hole really didn't suffer any damage. The one with the enlarged hole I was able to get the rest of the spring out with a little compressed air, the second one I wasn't so lucky. I fought with it pretty much all day, finally decided to take the beginning of the hole out one size bigger and lucky enough was able to get the spring out. My question to everyone is what's your thoughts of the importance in hole diameter? The first 3/16" of the hole is approximately .0030 larger in diameter. Do you guys think that will be an issue? The holes are quite deep and I assume it would be ok but if everyone thinks it'll be an issue I will make a bushing for the top of each hole. I saw on another post where they used brake line to do that and looked like it worked well.

Ok, thank you. That helps a lot

And if that is the case the trash will still be there and may come back to haunt. I am a big fan of removing any suspect carburetor and cleaning it properly, often that takes less effort than continuously messing with it.

I’ve got a rectifier if you’re interested
- Yesterday
-
Comparing the two wiring diagrams I’m trying to figure out what would need to be changed. Ignition switch is the same, coil is the same, solenoid is different not sure if that matters, original K341 harness has rectifier K301 does not. Don’t really care about original lights, I have leds wired to a switch.
