Excessive AC Voltage at regulator/rectifier?
Handy Don replied to cjb398's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Here’s a link to the service manual. Lotsa good info! -
Hey Bill, what amperage and type of fuse are you using for this? I can't determine from the picture. Thanks. Chuck
-
I gave up very quickly on “Hey Siri.” Too many false starts and no starts. Now I use the button.
-
The bearings and everything else in the crankcase were in excellent condition

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Handy Don replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Yep, there are shims in two places in the reduction steering. One set to bring the big gear on the intermediate shaft closer to the steering shaft gear. Another brings the lower steering shaft’s fan gear closer to the intermediate shaft’s bevel gear. While you’re in there, look closely for excess play in the socket that holds the steering wheel shaft--it has a grease zerk that is routinely ignored and results extra wear. -

Howard if you have not read this thread, we built an 857 into a 1045 look alike back in Covid times. Build thread here -

How do I determine which of these apply to my engine? I have a 1993 416-H with the Onan 16hp engine. Thanks. Chuck -

Thanks all for the input. I have checked the ground with a jumper from the rectifier to the negative battery post. No change. I have a new rectifier on order. Chuck - Today

Old School truck project

FYI…I’m just over 6’ so don’t cheap out on the new improved cab -
Greetings Horse family! After a hiatus, got settled in at Western Illinois and decided it's time for a change. Great grandpa's C195 is doing well and I believe it's fitting to repaint. Located an original set of ag tires on rims and got them on but think they are too skinny 😭. However, looking for exact replacements are not happening. I'm wanting recommendations on a set that are just as tall and wanting to go wider. Having a 48 inch deck for now until I locate a 60 or take two 48s and weld my own together 😁, I can run dish in so wider will fit. Seat pan has repairs and would like to locate another fiberglass or grab a steel pan and be happy as a worker. Anyone tried to make a fiberglass replacement before? And the debate on paint..... Original once but after looking at the bubbling paint and rust, I might as well take it down to bare and do it correctly. After reading a lot of suggestions, I think it's Navajo White and IH red. But I'm open to suggestions... Black goes either way. Some prefer Gloss or Satin. Hydro lever, hydraulic levers, engine screen and air cleaner cover I think should be chrome, not rattle can but chrome. Anyone have a lead on a reputable company for that? Decals, we all know who that guy is! Motor needs nothing, finally stopped using oil after cleaning carbon and filling block with off road diesel and ATF, removing spark plugs, engaged PTO and spun motor over using an electric motor to spin it at operating RPM for an hour each flush. 5 hours later, no more smoking and switched to Royal Purple oil and MMO in fuel. Any suggestions, tips or advice is definitely welcome. Thank you all for reading and enjoy your hobby!

So I offered to get this franken driving for Brett Esse of Portage Show proprietor fortune and fame. He offered to pay me for the work, which I refused, and I had to explain to him the difference between a hobby and a job. Actually is a cute little tractor and runs fairly decent. Started out life as a 656 with a K181 repo. Floor boards added but nicely done. Problem is the tranny is locked up solid and all the diesel and kerosene in the world is not going to help. @Achto sold him an off the shelf spare tranny to put in it to get it driving and ready to be sold at the show. Pics of the adventure. What flush fluid looks like after a month of setting. I probably should have drained the water out first. Rite of passage my @$$. Puller best xmass present ever @Achto -
Guy I worked with got ahold of an old doodle bug. He got it running and stopping and decided to take it for a test run. Used an upside down bucket for a seat. Lots of hills in his area. Everything was fine until going down a hill with a curve, That bucket slid out of the cab and the only thing keeping him in the cab was the fact he had a death grip on the steering wheel.

Niiiiice!

No brainer Bart leave them out and I can say I am speaking for the rest of us here. Just out of curiosity what did the bearings in them look like?

What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse
ebinmaine replied to rjg854's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Moving more firewood this morning. This second load was a monster. -
We put tubes in all the tires, new brake master cylinder, waiting for some new 1/4" brake line but we did make a temp line out of copper tubing I had laying around to check the wheel cylinders and brake operation. So far so good and need to adjust those brakes back from removing the drums. If the brakes work then it's time for a temp seat and take it for a test drive!. Hold my beer and watch this! LOL As suspected the cab is a little too small so it even crams me in there at only 5' 7". The cab will need to be lengthened about 8" front to back and the roof raised about 4 more inches higher. I'll try and get rid of that square "Pope mobile" look since it needs modifications anyway.

Excessive AC Voltage at regulator/rectifier?
John c replied to cjb398's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
I just went down a very similar path, even though I'd thought the live terminals were sufficiently clean and connected I ended up with a dremel bit and solder for the live parts and a supplemental conductor straight to battery ground. -
What wheel horse do you plan on putting that on?

The trans was stuck and also had a large crack in cast pan. Probably from water in it freezing. The crack saved the gears from rusting bad since the water could just run out. Cleaned the rust off the gears and did a JB weld of the crack. It's been about a month since we (my nephew Paul has been helping me) got it running and shifting. This is a little above idle in 3rd gear so it looks like it will go pretty fast in 3rd.

@Tomk thanks for the shout , all those bearings have , easily removable grease side shields , small flat pocket screwdriver , or smallest flat putty knife , they are always reusable . be delicate , wipe out original , lube, carb cleaner flush, then hand pack every related bearing ,replace shields , reinstall. its the hi stress / heat rating that insures bearing life , when a bearing starts to WHYINE , WITH DRAG NOISE , its telling you its LUBRICATION is failing , none of my tractors do that . that pto inner needle bearing , also needs a careful clean out , same lubrication failure , VEY LIGHT AMMOUNT OF LUCAS GREEN , excess flings to clutch facing , want to avoid that , spin that up by hand to verify , total ease of movement , we are at opposite ends of the maintenance zone , so we both see , something different , I also picked up a very low hr , deck years ago , did the very thing I am suggesting , never had any related failure on it , glad for you , pete
