Belltown Show,East Hampton Ct

I cannot make either. For Zag, two grandchildren in a dance recital. For Belltown, will be on the road returning a granddaughter home who’s been visiting here this week and it’s just too far out of the way to get there in time. Grandaughter had the 854 out for some spins around the yard today and declared it more fun than the 312-H at home and the 518-H++ at camp. Declined (politely) two potential conflicts for the BS week already! -

Disassembly continues on the C160…

I just assumed they were stainless; didn't realize they were painted, and @RoubaixRider if I hadn't mentioned before that is one sharp C160 brother. -
Is the height adjuster on the discharge side? If so it's a 42", if not it's a 48"

Does this mean you are going? What about the Spring Zag show? -
Congratulations Jada!!!!

Trick with mower blades is to measure them from sharpened corner to sharpened corner across the center--that’s the farthest reach of the blade!

Got my donor wheels together for the rear. I don't have any more wide rears so I'm gonna have to make a set from two different pairs. The pair with the surface rust has a way wrong offset. They came from a Ford LGT. The tires on Ford pair would not break loose at the bead, even though they were clean. I had to use a 3 foot 2x6 and the weight of the Tundra to break them. Hopefully I can gain another skinny pair of wheels using these as well. We will see... -

I love mine too. -
Exactly . I tried one out years back and didn't like it for that reason on the Kubota. Too much leg movement to operate.

I agree 100%! But I still love my 2011 Tacoma... -

Or, maybe he could just take the blower housing and wear it like a Flavor Flav clock to show off his Teccy allegiance! -
Actually tried that one for a while... Just didn't work as well when needing to stop and back up.

@RoubaixRider I certainly admire your attention to detail sir! My kinda guy 👍🏻 When I saw that you painted the heads of the set screws on the steering shaft collar it made me smile. @cleat will appreciate this type of work as well! - Today

Your foot control is very similar to the Kubota treadle pedal . @kpinnc

Comme déjà noté, les moteurs Onan sont fondamentalement fiables et solides avec beaucoup de couple, mais un bon entretien est essentiel. Garder les ailettes de refroidissement sous les cailets propres et garder le joint en caoutchouc qui scelle le filtre dans le cairet en place sont les plus importants. Un niveau d'huile approprié et un remplacement régulier du filtre sont également essentiels. À mon avis, le moteur P218 Onan des tracteurs 518-H est un peu plus fiable que le P220. Il a une action de came moins agressive et cela réduit le stress sur les soupapes et les sièges. En fait, les seules différences mécaniques entre eux sont la came elle-même et les différents jets de carburateur. Une mise en garde est que les pièces de haute qualité deviennent de moins en moins disponibles et donc plus chères. Les modules de commande d'allumage en sont un exemple. En cherchant à acheter un 518-H dans votre région, j'interrogerais de près le vendeur sur les habitudes d'entretien et tout travail de moteur qui a été effectué. Au moment où un Onan a atteint 950 heures, il est certainement dû faire retirer ses têtes pour l'élimination du carbone et ses vannes ajustées pour un dégagement approprié. Les filtres à air pré- et les filtres à air finaux doivent avoir moins de 200 heures. Son carburateur aurait dû être nettoyé au moins une fois. Les conduites de carburant et le filtre peuvent avoir besoin d'être remplacés. Je recommande fortement le remontage en utilisant des joints de qualité pour les têtes et les échappements ; d'autres joints sont moins critiques. As already noted, the Onan engines are fundamentally reliable and strong with plenty of torque but proper maintenance is critical. Keeping the cooling fins under the shrouds clean and keeping the rubber gasket that seals the filter into the shroud in place are the most important. Proper oil level and regular filter replacement are also essential. In my opinion, the P218 Onan engine in the 518-H tractors is somewhat more reliable than the P220. It has a less aggressive cam action and this lessens the stress on the valves and seats. In fact, the only mechanical differences between them are the cam itself and different carburetor jets. One caution is that high quality parts are becoming less available and correspondingly more expensive. Ignition control modules are one example. In looking to purchase a 518-H in your locale, I would closely question the seller on maintenance habits and any engine work that has been performed. By the time an Onan has reached 950 hours, it is certainly due to have its heads removed for carbon removal and its valves adjusted for proper clearance. Both pre- and final-air filters should be less than 200 hours old. its carburetor should have been cleaned at least once. The fuel lines and filter may need replacement. I highly recommend reassembly using quality gaskets for the heads and exhaust; other gaskets are less critical.

Man, this is a rough crowd………I love it 🤣🤣🤣 -
I've used other tractors with the hand control hydro and I don't mind them. For me it was just an unfortunate combination of multiple factors that made the machine kinda awkward to use. If I can't relax on a machine when I'm working, then I can't enjoy it. The older I get the more ergonomics matter. I also don't keep machines around to look at them. The 520 was probably the coolest looking garden tractor in the fleet. Shame to say goodbye, but it went to an older gentleman who upgraded from his recently deceased 314 Wheel Horse. I believe it definitely went into the right hands, and the machine is scheduled for annual maintenance here yearly at the shop, so I'll get to see and care for it every once in a while.

Not getting that. You'd a measured & ordered right the only cuts would have been on the gable ends? I can see I shoulda stuck around a few more days and showed how to do it!

Need P/N For Wheel Horse (Not Toro) 314-8 Throttle Cabe
hotajax replied to hotajax's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Never did this before, but it looks like an easy way to make the cable. I think I heard this guy say he made the pliers himself. So all I need is a length of cable ( the "innards" that go inside the sheath? Thanks for this. -
