Not being a smart ass, just asking a legitimate question so we will know where you stand. If your phone won't download the manual then go to a library, use a public computer and read it over.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Bar Nuthin replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Sounds like someone needs to add another Wheel Horse to their stable. -
Not positive but think the wiring on that PK is pre-safety switches which will make the rewire easy, the diagram below should do. This thread tells the whole story. As for the plug I would drill a small hole ( 9-64") without going all the way through, tap it to 8-32, run a bolt into the hole and use a straight claw hammer to pop the plug out. This thread has lots of good information. This uses a 103990 key switch

@SamHit my first insight , recommendation ? new shift boot and silicone grease the UNDERSIDE . INSIDE OF IT ? insures sliding over the IRRELULATRIES on top of trans , also like a wide tye wrap in top of boot to shifter stick , after it shows you where it wants to be , like a hi milage atf fluid for cleaning / flushing , personally put miles on that , every gear / range , also look for a CLIMBING LUBE RATING , that has a consistent FLUSH DOWN RATING , ALWAYS CLEANING , would also favor , giving that a flush down and, KROIL in movement areas , just my own 2 cents , pete

Well smart ass I could not down load the manual. My phone restricted it for some reason.

I used to have a job at a calendar factory, but I got fired because I took a couple of days off.

D200 Wheelhorse local listing. Tell me about it

Depends on your intended jobs for it. I you must have a heavy duty garden tractor (which I doubt) then here it is. If you want something to putter with then keep looking. -

My main mowing tractor is a first gen 520H with the 23x9.5-12 rear tires and they are liquid filled. The added weight does not cause damage to the sod but it actually prevents tire spin which could damage sod and also I have some tills and ditches to mow and the added traction helps there. -

Yes and no…I don’t want these tires “weighted” all the time. Would rather have the cast iron weights that I can remove in the spring and set this machine up for mowing. I suppose I could have a second set of rears without weights and swap out that way. -
October 20, 1962, the quirky and spooky song “Monster Mash” hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, just in time for Halloween. The self-described “graveyard smash” becomes a literal smash hit, spending the last two weeks of October at the top of the charts—and remaining a beloved Halloween classic decades later. The song was a toss-off idea by Bobby “Boris” Pickett, a lifelong fan of legendary horror film actor Boris Karloff, who started doing Karloff impersonations at talent competitions. After deciding to pursue an acting career in California, he teamed up with a friend, singer Leonard Capizzi, to make a novelty song featuring Pickett’s Karloff voice. In less than an hour, Pickett and Capizzi recorded “Monster Mash” with a band they called The Crypt-Kickers.

I made a bit more progress on rebuilding the engine for my Dodge M37. I'm making up an improved set of connecting rods, doing much of the work myself, which includes spotfacing the rod caps to accept ARP bolts and nuts, balancing small and big ends, and selecting rods of the correct length (there are minor variations) to produce about .022" piston protrusion height above the deck. The piston protrusion should produce about .040" of 'quench' zone between the top of the piston and the flat part of the combustion chamber. Most of the rods I'm prepping are NOS, but there are a couple of factory re-mans as well. I had to ream the bolt holes in two of the NOS rods to a slight oversize (.377") and order some ARP bolts for those holes that have a slightly oversized knurled area that will produce a good interference fit where the knurling bridges the parting line between the rod beam and cap. Here, I'm spotfacing the rod caps to remove the counterbore for washers, since the ARP nuts are flanged and don't use washers. The slight radius at the edge of the spotfaced area is to avoid creating a stress riser. Here's the set of rods and bolts so far, including an extra rod, ready to take to the machine shop to have the big ends re-sized. I'll do the final balancing after I get them back from the machine shop. I balanced the small ends by evenly sanding off a bit of metal around the circumference, so as not to produce any thin spots or abrupt changes in thickness that could create a stress riser. We're gradually getting things ready for winter here. The next big task is to pull the dock out of the water, which I'm hoping to do this coming weekend. Even though we're on a tidal shoreline, the salt water doesn't get this far up the river, so the river freezes over, and all docks have to be pulled out.

Midwest Military and Vintage Power Wagons should have Packard connectors if you can't find them at an auto parts store. I've been using a number of both Douglas and Packard connectors in my M37 restoration project. I have some four-prong crimping tools for them, which make very secure connections.

That is why I have not pulled the plastic outer screen from my Onan, I'm afraid too much debris would get in

My friend's dog died the other day so I surprised her by going out and getting her an identical dog. She was furious, she said *"what am I supposed to do with two dead dogs?"*

If it is original - does the fuel pump have the priming lever? If so - how much for the fuel pump? Bill

Thanks all. Will proceed in the order Gasaholic recommended and then follow Sqrlgtr recommendation to remove the head. Interested to see if its knocking and banging or sewing machine smooth. Oliver2-44 , I saw those 2 small springs in the kit. I have on old 10gal fish tank that is great for taking things like this apart in. at least there is a good chance to catch anything that might spring out. I put a piece of cardboard over half of the top to block some of it. I picked up a box labeled miscellaneous carburetor parts at the hardware store that's closing and the guy gave it to me. Inside was some loose parts like needle valves and ect from kits that had been opened It was all Kohler parts. I managed to piece together what I believe to be a carter #30 partial rebuild kit along with a new float kit. According to the part numbers on the packages, they should work. There was also a complete Kohler kit for a walbro 25-757-11-s. From everything I have read, my carb should be a Carter #30. Maybe one of you guys could look and see what you think? Also there are 3 different I think (main jets)? 2 are the same while one is different and I see no numbers on them. The different one is smaller than the other 2 and has a tapered tip on it. I also found a package that was mostly intact and had the smaller jet in it. That package part number is 2575701 and google search says it fits a carter #30. The float kit #2575703s also is supposed to fit a Carter #30. I know the carb parts are getting ahead as the carb may not even be any good inside but the box of parts was free. Also there were several loose gaskets and i believe they may also fit. Perhaps one of you all might know. Thanks Charrie

Most Kohlers have the flywheel screen itself that spins, and it is on the outside. Most debris gets flung off. My 14hp Vanguards are the same. My concern would be how much debris gets past the flywheel and sticks on the coiling fins under the shroud.

Happy Birthday

Yup. I'd really like to get a fire truck air horn. Probably a good thing I have resisted doing so - for now that is.

Zero-turns are definitely faster, but I can do 3/4 acre in an hour. That's tolerable. If there were a lot of landscaping to navigate, I am sure it would take a lot longer. Garden tractors do okay so long as you have a lot of straight lines. I use my Wheel Horse for a lot more. I have a 3pt with a 2" receiver. I have a grading blade, plow, and a ripper. Mowing is probably 50% of how I use it. It's 44 years old and will probably outlive me with the new engine.

Finally got to spend an hour in my tree stand this evening. The Steam-o-Rama, crabbing vacation, and caretaker for Mrs. Ks new Knee had me busy for the first two weeks of archery. Archery is in till mid November and the bucks are usually nocturnal till November, so I have plenty of time. It's been too hot to butcher anyway. . This week muzzle loaders can also be used to take doe only and Thur. - Sat. seniors can also use rifle for doe. This is when I usually fill my doe tags. I did bump 3 deer near my stand and saw 12 more feeding in the field when I got in my tree. Not bad for the first hour sit.
