I think those are still available thru Toro. Don't know the part number though. -
Looking for 856 air filter to carb gasket
sqrlgtr replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I use gasket material and scalpel. I had a washer I used for a guide for center hole, leather punch for screw holes, and just cut outer diameter with a pair of scissors. -
Drill a small hole in the handle. Remove the temptation.
-
Uncle Jim are those cast concrete or steel impregnated weights? Pretty custom tho
-
The thought has crossed my mind.... but I like my dustpan.
-
I had a JD 140H3 back in the day, wish I still had it. I installed chains on the front wheels. Made a big difference in the steering.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
CD Long Jr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
peter lena, thanks a million. Your post isa big help. I'll research the tractor seral number. -
953 nut, thank you. Thanks to all of you. I love this forum already. Lots of good folks and advice here! I Have some PB Blaster & will look into the Kroil. I intend to roll her off the trailer, remove the deck, measure the deck & install the front blade. I have found some wheel weights in FB market place at a reasonable price. As far as tire chains, would the chains with the Vs on the cross links be better? I have a concrete driveway, but I do yard work, including snow removal, for several elderly ladies in the subdivision that can't afford the lawn services. They have asphalt driveways.

Electric conversion

Exactly why I was asking. Paired with the right controller, you could have a "hybrid" foot controller that works similar to a hydro but with different gear box speeds. Or just stop and go like those electric cars we had when we were little. Either way will be pretty cool! -

8ntruck replied to Richard’s 314-8's topic in Wheel Horse Electric / Battery Powered Tractors
It is electric and looks like it is brushless. Seems like some sort of soft start/stop function would be possible. Possibly through a 'gas' pedal? -
Spit my beer out on that one Bar but you got it all wrong... I rebuilt my carb but now it won't go into gear. What did I do wrong?
-
OP: My headlights only come on when the key is on. DA: I had one did that once. Rebuilt the carb and fixed it.
-
Speaking of which ...how is that compressor that runs it doing?

If I had known how little difference the 7.50 was, I would have left those brand new 6.50s right where they were. Of course different brands may be closer to the "actual" size. I have a couple sets of 520 front wheels with older 6.50 tires that are as wide the 7.50 size that I bought. -
Excellent work sir! I've done some of those spindle repairs. I know exactly how much grinding and filing goes into getting them back to round and even. One of my 701 spindles took more than once to weld and grind back true.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this build unfold. The idea of a super quiet tractor is pretty awesome! I'm curious- what will you use to replace the clutching function? -

Give Lowell a jingle at parts n more. He'll help you order the right kit. He's got a cheat sheet that will tell you what kit you need but he'll want to know what tranny you have. @wheelhorseman -
Gotta tell ya Keith my first blower was a short chute single on a 520. Had a blast with it & thought I gotta get me a deuce. Really let her fly with one of those. So I found one for short money that was missing alot of parts but found those with the help of the guys here. DId all the mods... rubber paddle extensions, center support, ball bearings on the auger. Lotta fun stuffing it in a big drift and hearing that Onan get on the governor and the belt squealing. After a couple of years with little to no snow and no use for it. I got a 520 with a tall single and all the goodies. Electric chute, lights, cab wiper...actually did a nicer job than a big heavy deuce. This year lots of snow so out came the the old deuce ... reset up for off road use with double link v bar chains heavy duty skids & just a ton of weight. Let the good times roll ... again! Out to the wood lot and deer pasture. Don't tell The Pullstart but I actually try and get it stuck.

Looks great to me! Is the Commando in the 3rd pic above? Only reason I ask is because those axles are a couple inches longer than standard because of the 10 inch wheel deeper offset. It won't hurt anything, but if you use standard WH wheels the rear will have quite a bit wider track. -

Thank you for that advice! I’m leaning as I go with everyone’s help. -
Got that right. Often times hilarious.
-
Hummmmm. That tubular handle must be pretty well sealed. You going to investigate further?
