Hello everyone, I bought my wheel horse stickers probably a year ago anyways I put all the stickers on except the dash sticker… is it probably ruined now?? It’s a little wrinkled from the weather and humidity from sitting in the garage and such? Do I need a new one? Also how do you go about applying these properly without bubbles and cleanly

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CasaytheMann replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Pulled both mower blades and sharpened them. -
I honestly had planned to eventually get the original wheels and tires cleaned up and on the tractor at some point. That being said, if I decide otherwise you have first dibs. ...Might be a while, just FYI.

@MShepheard Any good industrial hydraulic sho should be able to matchup these O-ring and seals you need They have draws and draws ful of every size and thickness.

Hey Jim, you might want to check out the Hankook Vantra trailer tires. I have a pair in your size on my 5'x10' utility trailer, about 4 -1/2 years old, so far so good. Just drove them down to Virginia and back over the last couple of weeks, absolutely no issues. Even exceeded my own personal 70 mph limit with a trailer a few times, no problems.

I had a 1963 four door in the mid 1970's. They had push rod tubes in the heater box with O ring seals at the ends. When the seals deteriorated oil leaked into the heater box and the fumes came out the heater vents. Being air cooled, they relied on hot air from the exhaust manifolds for heat. Push rod tubes were inside the heater box. The Chevrolet Corvair heating system relies on a direct-air setup rather than a traditional liquid-cooled system. It captures heat generated around the exhaust manifolds, routes it through a blower, and distributes it to the cabin. Because of its unique design, any oil leaks from the engine or pushrod tubes can introduce exhaust odors directly into the car.

I will get them out this weekend and take some patriotic pics of them

Happy Birthday @meadowfield!!! -
I’m working on a bit of a head scratcher… getting a 1/5 scale R/C running for my other hobby.
MainelyWheelhorse posted a topic in non tractor related discussion
So when I’m not working on my tractors, I have another hobby I’m pretty deep into. The hobby is R/C cars specifically 1/5 scale weedwacker engine powered ones. I have a 1/5 scale Redcat Rampage MT. I’ve had it since I turned 30 as a 30th birthday gift. I’m 46 now so roughly 16 years I’ve owned it. It’s mostly stock except for a tuned pipe. Lately, I’ve hit a bit of an impasse with it though. My conundrum is two weeks ago, I got it out after it sat for two years and got it going. It was dungy and would run but had no top end. It’s usually not much of a speed demon but it seemed off. It usually doesn’t have much in speed as the heavy tires slow it down. I tried to tune it with no big change. Once I brought it back in, I noticed one of the fuel lines was rock hard so I swapped it out. I ran some other fuel line but it seemed too small. It would start but it acted like it was too rich and you could give it no throttle. I have since found fuel line that was the right size but it is still running the same. I also went through and checked the carburetor which was clean, checked the intake gaskets and made new ones if needed. I fixed the exhaust coupling and I vented the gas tank as well. It’s getting gas and spark and I would assume air if it runs in short bursts. I did notice that at the base of the head it was wet. It will start and run now for about 3 seconds then die with no throttle. Any ideas or tips to get this going? I’m thinking I blew the head gasket. If I change the settings on the carb it doesn't seem to do much. Thanks! Here’s some pics of it. -
Hello all, I have a somewhat worn 701 which I am having fun getting back into shape. The latest problem to be solved is that at some point the hood was removed without removing the wingnut screw and the tab securing the front of the hood was ripped off and discarded. So does anyone have a picture of this tab so I can fabricate another one? Thank you. Mike

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

My "New to Me" D160 Kept pushing the dip stick out of the tube. I knew that wasn't right and did some digging about the Onan B43 in it. Took apart the breather reed valve assembly and was surprised that Lufkin made the reed; boy that reed was stiff too! You know what? Lufkin also made feeler gauges and this reed measured in at .0275". Me thinks bubba was at work here. My OEM replacement reed was a little more flexible at .0060". I think the reed problem is solved. -

Slide me some of that check I'll think about it ....

Nice, Mike, thanks for posting!

Interesting. That explains a lot as I bought it off a lawyer Here is a picture of the imposter!

Funny you should say that as the last time this ran; it ran like crap. I adjusted the valves and did a couple other things but all for not.

I like the speed myself and would like to fix it

While the warden took an overnight trip to Buffalo, I made a bit of progress on the unit. I took it apart, gently washed all the pieces with soap and water, then rubbed in my favorite juice and keeping its “patina.” Greased and lubed what was needed, and started putting it back together. It has all the original decals in good shape.

Tranny Brake Shaft Seal
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to Thegearhead0324's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Is the original seal not #1232? -
Baby-sat the three yahoos. Their mom was having surgery, Her husband and his mother-in-law were going to be at the hospital. The girl grandchild mowed the yard--under my and the youngest boy grandchild's close observation. The oldest did his best to stay out of work. Got smiles and comments at Dairy Queen during lunch from other patrons and had to check out the blacksnake (alive and irritated) on the parking lot. I assume fell out of someone's vehicle or bale of hay?
