Well, with all due respect, he’s apparently got a master’s degree in blade manglement and engine defunktitude. A double major!

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
ebinmaine replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
The BBT aka Trina and I have 4 days off paid work. Plans have changed from wilderness camping to yard & acreage chores. Today we moved the 7 heavy boxes 📦 of the new camper house building to the front of house nearer to the build site. My 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse was called up to duty. After the trailer was emptied of boxes I shoveled some stone into it. That'll be used for the ramps to and from the green garden area bridge. -

That is the A or Gen Terminal. Goes to the A terminal on the genny with the heavy starter wire. it is a kohler part doesn't show up on WH wire diagram -
My first starter-generator. Is it loud?
Bar Nuthin replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Looking at my regulator compared to the wiring diagram - mine has a 4th terminal and it's connected to the forward stud on the generator (I assume hot only when key in start position). Anyone else seen this? Is it supposed to be wired to that terminal? The tractor seemed to run and charge okay. -
Fabricating a Mid Mount Grader Blade Assembly for a D-Series Tractor
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Implements and Attachments
More progress on the grader blade fabrication. It's actually starting to look like something that might work. I've finished the slot in the A-frame plate for the sector lock arm to lock into and I'm currently waiting on some round stock for making the two bushing clamps that hold the sector locking arm. I was getting ready to drill the mounting holes in the blade and realized that the blade was twisted, i.e. it wouldn't lay flat on the floor. Apparently when the shop was feeding it into their roller they weren't holding it straight. I took it back and they are going to straighten it for me. I did make one change in how the blade mounts to the backing plate. The original design used 6 mounting holes, I changed it to 8. The middle holes were really close to the round pivot block so I decided to put bolts on each side of the pivot block instead. Other than that I've been trying to stick to the original design as much as possible. The last important component to fabricate is the lifting arm assembly. I have the material but I'd like to have the sector arm installed first. Now if only I had a running tractor to use with the blade -
15” 6 lug wheels (wheel weight size)
BradKahler replied to Chav88's topic in Implements and Attachments
My 1973 18 Automatic (basically a D180) came with 15" wheels and wheel weights. Attached are pictures of the weights and wheels. For reference, the weights are 12-1/8" in diameter and are about 2-3/4" thick. -
Post says it's a 312 hydro. @oliver2-44 I also agree that's one excellent deal

C-195 60 inch mower deck
davidtmercer commented on davidtmercer's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
If you are referring to the C-195, I sold it since there were too many things needing fixed, particulary the Kt19 engine needing to be rebuilt. -
These ’61-'64 tanks are an aluminum alloy casting--solder no stick ‘um! Also, other posts have noted that the material has challenged even experienced welders of aluminum.
-
That would certainly make for a great training presentation. I wouldn't know where to start.
-
I would not straighten the blade and put it back on the mower, it is not reccomended.
-
Why not solder these things? I've got one but haven't got to it yet. Just curious.
-
You got a good price on a set of used hubcaps and the rest was free.

My 1948 Ford was equipped with a 6 volt positive ground system. I removed the generator and voltage regulator replacing them with a GM one wire alternator, added an ignition resistor, changed out the light bulbs and put in a 12 volt battery with a negative ground and everything worked fine. The starter whipped over a bit fast but didn't overheat.

It's an actual Austin Engine.

Diggin that starter solenoid! Good ol Delco Remy starter and distributor. Wonder who made the engine. Continental? Hercules? I guess Austin made their own! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Motor_Company
-
I guess I could if I add an alternator. Just swap the coil as well and call it done.
