When my military obligation was nearly endeding in 1969 a young officer on board our ship called me to officer's county to discuss my future in the US Navy. I told him in no uncertain terms that there was no way I would consider reenlistment while American men and women were being sent to Vietnam so the Chinese and Vietcong could use them as target practice.

I was draft-eligible near the end of the Vietnam War, but didn’t get called. People I knew were, though none are named on the wall, thankfully. The Arlington, Leavenworth, Normandy American, and Gettysburg cemeteries come to mind but there are soldiers buried in every cemetery I’ve ever visited. Sobering that we haven’t figured out a better way to solve differences.

Love the 520-H. Beast of a tractor and the most comfortable of all my WH's. Good luck Don. My better half having Winter fun back around 2009 with a big smile and NO CAB. She's a tough one. Tom Boy

There was a portable Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall. It is a half size version of the one in Washington D.C. We were privileged to visit it when it was set up in a nearby town. It was very humbling and a good number of folks got to experience it who otherwise will never likely get to Washington D.C. I just googled it (AV Wall) and learned that one year ago (November 12, 2025) it was retired. We've been fortunate to visit the Washington D.C. memorial as well as the portable.

Looking for a muffler for a 520H.

Yeah, that’s her one rule. Her car has to be in the garage.😬

And so it goes... As long as you don't have to say "Hon, your car is going to have to park in the drive, I need the garage space for a while..."

Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.

I told my wife I wasn’t going to buy any more WH’s until I got the 420 LSE finished. It wasn’t 30 minutes later that I saw this 520 on MP. Floated the guy an offer. Next he’s asking when can he deliver it… Now to figure out if the Onan is any good. It’s not locked up. He said he bought it for the muffler and a hydraulic hose. The previous owner said it had a wiring issue and just stopped.

I have had good success using one for a mid 1960's 6 cylinder Chevrolet. Wire is the right length.

312-A "Partial" Restoration
Lee1977 replied to davem1111's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The 312-A looks good, I have a couple of 312-8's that I repainted, didn't replace the decals. -
That is not the correct ignition condenser for a K-321. The Kohler 230722 Condenser fits all battery ignition single cylinder and twin cylinder from the K-90 to the K-582. It has a battery ignition system and uses a 200 to 500 nF condenser. Any automotive condenser from an engine with points will do. The unit of measure for a condenser is the Farad, and our small engines use a condenser that is in the nanofarad range (ten to the minus ninth power Farads) which is based on the voltage range they work in. A battery ignition system uses a 200 to 500 nF condenser. The lower end of the spectrum is preferable as too high a rating will allow more flow resulting in coil overheating. Do not use a condenser intended for a magneto ignition because its rating is too low and will result in burned ignition point contacts. Most automotive points condensers will be fine. I have used the 1960s Ford condenser ( 250 to 280 nF) because I had a few on the shelf. If you look up automotive condensers on line you should be able to find the capacitance rating. Armed with this information you can walk into your auto parts store and get a very confused look on the face of the person on the other side of the counter. The capacitance is not listed on the package and probably not in their store computer for have they have for condensers they stock.

HELP PARTS - Crankshaft, rod and piston assemblies
Fordiesel69 replied to Delkc01's topic in Engines
If you need to, the k181 can go. 020 under. Often a machine shop can turn yours and then re fit the rod. So if your only needs to goto 11 or 16 thou they can custom bore your rod. I have 3 cranks. All need turned WAY MORE. -
I will re do it as a video and put on yt. I can get the file size cropped to 1.3mb from 6.56mb.

Hello, I have a wheel horse c141 with the Kohler k321 motor. I am searching for a replacement part. From my search it says this part is a ignition condenser. Does anyone have any suggestions? It is a 2 wire with one terminal part. I'll attach a picture. Thank you Stacey

I have a crank. It may or may not need turning. You would need to get it checked. PM me if interested.

I hope I do not disappoint!

HELP PARTS - Crankshaft, rod and piston assemblies

Here is an original parts list if you need it -
Thanks guys !! I’ll let yall know how it goes !
-
You WILL need to know the bore size before ordering a piston & a set of rings... Standard bore, .010 over, etc. If you plan to have the cylinder bored oversize, the Machine Shop needs those parts BEFORE they start... let THEM measure the bore to determine the correct size....

Lasso? Slingshot?

The Spec number, 30108D is the most important information when looking for a crankshaft. We have a couple of venders here that you should start with. K&B Horse Parts @76c12091520h may have some NOS parts for the engine. A to Z https://a-ztractor.com/ will have used parts and may have NOS too. He sells on eBay but if you don't see what you are looking for give him a call.
